Chapter 40: Thanks Mum For The Sage Advice

I'm in my bathroom getting ready for my date with Landon and Tallulah is sitting on the side of the bath.

"Should we expect you home tonight?" she asks with a wink.

"I don't know," I reply honestly.

"I think you might need to visit the doctor."

Her comment surprises me, but after a second I catch on.

"Contraception?"

"Uh huh. Condoms are great, and all but you should really be on the pill."

I nod.

"Okay. I'll call the doctor tomorrow. Thanks, MUM for the sage advice."

Sarcasm has always been one of my mother's pet hates; another thing I've spent years avoiding or squashing down every time I was near her.

Tallulah chuckles before giving me the look over.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks." I smile at her through the mirror. I'm wearing a blue dress that perfectly matches my eyes. It's shorter than my mother would ever condone but it makes my legs look fantastic, so I don't care.
