What was in the gift box?

"Here, have it," Karen added, stretching out a wrapped box to her which Marissa cautiously collected.

"Oh wow.I wasn't expecting this. Thank you"

"Open it "

"What?"

"Open it right here. Don't you want to see what I got you?"

"Yeah I guess," Marissa sounded calm but she was screaming inside, dying of questions.

She carefully tore open the gift.

Wait, what the hell was that? Wow! Breast enlargement cream as well as capsules. Marissa was perplexed.

"What made you think I'd be needing this?"

"Why not? Your breasts are too small for my son,"

Okay, what the freaking hell! Marissa opened her mouth to talk but Karen beat her to it.

"Don't worry, they are tested and trusted.You'll definitely see an obvious change even in a few weeks"

"Excuse me Karen, but why on earth would you get me this?"

"Because my son is perfect.And you need to be perfect for him."Karen answered gravely.

"Justin has never complained---"

"To you,"Karen cut in quickly."Remember Juan Miguel tells me everything?"

Marissa couldn't believe her ears. Her confusion was beginning to change and she felt anger welling up inside her. How could Justin do something like that?

She didn't say a word to him concerning it even till they arrived home. She threw the box into the trashcan in the room and sat on the bed thinking.

Justin's eyes caught sight of it and he picked the box up, examining its contents.

"Nena, what are these doing here?" he asked sitting by her side.

"Why don't you tell me?" Marissa answered, her tone curt.

"How am I to know?" He wore a bewildered expression.

"Your mother gave them to me"

"Why would she do that?"

"Maybe because you told her?"Marissa's voice was getting higher. "What?My boobs are not enough for you now?Do you want me to have implants?"

"What on earth are you on about?" Justin still couldn't understand what was going on yet.

"You did not tell me you now like huge sized watermelons now, did you?"

"My God, I never said that"

"Your mom told me that my boobs are too small for you.How did she know if you didn't tell her hunh?"

Justin paused for a second and ran his hand through his hair. "I never said they were too small!" he defended. "I only told her they were small. And perky. Of course I love them Nena. They're perfect"

"Go and tell that your mother." Marissa said coldly. She felt hurt, angry and the need to cry all at the same time.

Excusing herself to the bathroom, she ignored Justin calling after her and locked the bathroom door. She heard him saying something about going over to talk to Karen.

"Mom, why on earth would you gift Marissa something like that?" Justin asked Karen, his face, unhappy. He had driven over to the house to confront Karen about the whole situation.

Karen calmly crossed her legs, sipping juice without any care in the world.

"I don't ever want you uncomfortable darling," she responded.

"My goodness! I never told you I was uncomfortable or that Marissa's boobs were too small, " he bent over, placing both hands on the table while staring at Karen."I just said they were small.But I love them that way"

"Small is not good enough,Juan Miguel. Think about it, if you two end up getting married,is that what she is going to feed your future children with?"

"Oh my God," he groaned with an eye roll."We aren't complaining!"

"Relax,I'm only helping you out. You would thank me later"

****

"Okay,you said what?" Aaron asked Marissa laughing his head off. Aaron had called her phone to ask how the party went and Marissa found herself telling him about how weirded out she felt about Karen's gift.

"You laugh over everything you bastard," she responded.

"But its really funny," he said and chuckled. "Justin and his Mom amaze me everyday."

"I don't even know what to feel,"

"Relax Rissa, you would be okay. But on a more serious note,his mom went too far"

"I've never second guessed my body before, now I have so much thoughts.I know they are small, but are they that small? "

"Of course not. Hey! Don't let that bother you. The Marissa I know has always been comfortable in her skin"
