Illusions Chapter 2

Chapter 2

As the next two weeks went by Nora enjoyed having Drew around. Even though Bo hadn’t raised him she saw Bo in Drew, which she found very comforting.  She had introduced Drew to the entire family. All were very accepting, she tried to limit the amount of time Drew and Asa saw each other. Until Bo got home she didn’t want to chance Asa pulling Drew in the wrong direction. She was pleasantly surprised on how well Rachel and Drew got along. In fact she thought Drew seemed to be a good influence on her daughter. Rachel seemed less snippy with everyone.

Tonight she and Drew both were staying in, Nora ordered pizza and they watched movies.

“I don’t know Nora, you sure you want to watch this? This doesn’t seem like your type of movie.”
Nora smiled.

“I let you choose the movie, I will watch it.”
“Ok.”
Drew started and sat next to Nora. They watched to movie, which Nora actually found pretty funny. She ate the junk food, then she felt Drew looking at her.

“Drew? What is it?”
“Oh, nothing. Just thinking, I know what my dad sees in you.”
Nora felt herself blush.

“Umm, thank you.”

“I’ve been wanting to ask you something Nora.”
“Sure, what is it.”
“Do you really think dad will be happy to see me?”
“Of honey, yes he will be very happy, just like I am. It is nice to have another child around.”
Drew laughed.

“I am a grown up child.”
Nora smiled.

“Yes, but Rachel is all grown and I still view her as my baby.”

“I have no doubt, but I doubt you see me that way.”
Nora looked at him.

“No, I don’t, but that doesn’t change the fact that you are Bo’s son, and I will love you just for that reason. But in these past two weeks I’ve gotten to know you. You are a great man and I am happy we have you in our lives now, just wish we could have always had you in our lives.”

Drew nodded.

“Nora, I really like you too, but I have to admit I don’t think I can ever view you as a mother.”
“Oh no, I mean I don’t want to you to think I am trying to take place of you mother in anyway.”
“I don’t think that at all! That isn’t what I meant.”
“Oh, then what do mean?”
Drew turned red.

“I just, well I think you are extremely attractive, in a way it would be really wrong to view you as my mother.”
Nora felt her mouth hang open, she never expected that.

“Oh, I see.”
Nora got up, suddenly feeling awkward around Drew.

“I think I should go to bed.”
“Ok, umm I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
Nora practically ran upstairs. She didn’t know what to think of what just happened. She sighed and got ready for bed. She would deal with it later.
