For over a minute, Maxi gaped at Issac like a moron and he had to wave his hand in her face to rouse her attention.
Maxi blinked at him, sitting up immediately with her eyes roving across the room as if trying to understand where she was.
"Are you alright, Maxi?" Issac was concerned about her, thinking he had broken her or something.
She looked at him with a blank face, "Why did you just say?"
Issac swallowed, his mouth opening and closing on its own as he wondered if it was the right thing to make such a request when it had stupefied her the first time.
However, she waited eagerly for a response and he sighed heavily before saying," I was hoping that you would meet my mother, Maxi." He now waited for her reaction nervously and Maxi did not fail to disappoint.
She got off the bed so quickly that Issac could not catch her even if he tried, and then she began to pace about the room anxiously. When Issac said he had a confession to make, she expected him to define their relationship and remind her that whatever they had would not last. She was a dark Fae after all and they could not be together. This was only a fling.
Issac got up to his feet too, cautiously heading towards her, "Maxi?"
She spun around suddenly, startling him, "I have never heard of lovers meeting her partner’s people less than two days of them dating! Isn’t that a little too early, Issac?" Maxi was freaking out.
Yes, the strong horse Fae shifter with no filter was breaking down at the thought of meeting Issac’s family. It was that horrible. This was worse than death!
"I know, I know.... " Issac tried to explain to her, but her pacing up and down naked was dizzying, leaving him with no choice but to reach out and grab her shoulder, keeping her in place. Then he began to explain to her.
"It’s my mistake. Trust me, Maxi, I didn’t mean for this to happen but things turned out that way. I would never rush you to meet my parents, at least not without prior discussion with you and not in less than two days of being together. However, after our horrible fight, I returned home to my family and my mother somehow found out that I was running from my mistake after hurting you the last time. She demanded that I apologize to you and then I bring you home so she too could apologize for raising an irresponsible son." He cringed at the end.
Blood rushed to her head and she was rendered speechless by the time Issac was through. The dark Fae shifter was not scared of anything in this world, not even death – it was a natural occurrence – except meeting the mother of the Fae she loved fucking. Maxi swallowed visibly, thinking of other alternatives that don’t involve seeing his mother face-to-face
"I could write to your mother, tell her that I’m good now and she doesn’t need to invite me to her humble abode. She wasn’t even the one who hurt me," Maxi let out a laugh to ease the tension, but it came out awkwardly. This was simply ridiculous.
