“We’ll see about that,” Jolene said. She turned her attention to Matt and Anya. “Fill me in. What’s going on?”
“What do you think is going on?” Matt asked.
“Are you two dating?” Jolene asked.
“We are,” Anya said. No reason to push this off. She was on the clock and the sooner it was out in the open, the faster Jolene would stop coming to her to talk about her personal life.
It was drawing too many eyes around her. Something she could do without in her life.
Jolene’s hands went to her hips. “For how long has this been going on?”
“Over a month,” Matt said. “My mother hasn’t filled you in?”
Jolene’s jaw dropped. Guess that answered that question for Matt.
“Your mother knows?” Jolene asked.
“You’ll have to take it up with her,” he said. “I need to get to court, but I wanted to stop in and see my girlfriend so she could wish me luck.”
She hadn’t known he had court today or what it was even about.
They never talked about his job and she wondered if she should ask more.
Did he want her to know?
He made a comment last night about celebrating his wins too.
One more thing to add to the list of items to learn about adult Matt.
“Good luck,” she said.
“No kiss for it?”
“Wow,” she said. “You’re needy this morning. Here is number three.”
He flushed again when she said that. She’d been kidding, but she wondered if he took that to heart.
She’d send him a text to suss it out and apologize if she had to.
Matt got his last kiss and left. Jolene stayed, but the doors were going to open in five minutes.
“You two look so cute together,” Jolene said. “Things are going well?”
“They are,” she said.
“I bet your parents are thrilled,” Jolene said.
“My mother is happy. My father seems it, but he could have been confused too,” she said.
She hadn’t wanted to tell her father, but her mother had. She’d forgotten to mention that her mother wanted Matt to come over for dinner this weekend.
She’d bring it up later to him.
“I’m sorry about that,” Jolene said.
It was getting tiring all the apologies she got from people.
They had nothing to feel sorry about. Neither did she.
