My Girl by Stormy Glenn Read Free Book Online Page B

that was you," the woman said. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your lady friend?"
Nicky's head whipped back to look at Seth but the man seemed to only have eyes for the woman standing next to them. Nicky started to pull away from Seth, suddenly feeling very nervous and out of place.
Seth's strong arms kept him pinned to the bigger man's side. "Susan, this is Nicky," Seth said, "my girlfriend."
Nicky could feel the blood drain from his face as he gaped at Seth. Had he just been introduced as Seth's girlfriend?
"Girlfriend?" the woman asked. "Since when do you date girls?"
"Since I met Nicky," Seth replied.
"Does Mom know?"
Seth took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Nicky could feel the tension in his body and knew something was up but he couldn't figure out what.
"No, Mom doesn't know and I'd prefer that you didn't say anything, Susan. Nicky and I just started seeing each other and I'd rather introduce her myself."
Nicky frowned at the grin that crossed Susan's face. It made him nervous.
"You really expect me to keep this from Mom?" Susan asked.
"Susan—"
Susan just laughed. "You've got to be kidding. The minute I tell Mom you're dating a girl she'll get off my back and stop telling me my biological clock is ticking away. You can be on her radar for a while, see how you like it."
"Damn it, Susan, this is none of Mom's business, or yours."
Susan rolled her eyes. "Says you, big brother."
It suddenly dawned on Nicky that they faced Seth's sister. He didn't know why he didn't pick up on that before now. She looked like a smaller, more feminine version of Seth, right down to the deep chocolate-brown eyes.
"I'm so pleased to finally meet you," Nicky said as he plastered a sweet smile on his face. "Seth told me he wanted to introduce me to his family. We've just been waiting for the right time. It's kind of hard to share things with others when it's all so new, you know?"
Susan's smile stuttered as she glanced over at Nicky. "Oh? Just how long have you been dating?"
"Not long really, just a few days. We met a couple of weeks ago when I moved into Seth's building and he offered to help with my boxes." Nicky smiled again and patted Seth's chest with his manicured and painted nails. "Seth's such a sweetheart."
"Don't lay it on too thick, babe." Seth chuckled but Nicky could still feel the tension in the arm wrapped around his waist. "Susan is my sister. She'll never believe you."
"Nonsense, I'm sure Susan knows how wonderful you are."
"You have been dating for only a few days haven't you?" Susan laughed. "So, when are you going to take your little girlfriend to meet Mom and Dad?"
CHAPTER 9
    "I still think this is a really bad idea, Nicky," Seth said as he pulled his car up in front of his parents' house and turned off the engine.
    "Are you ashamed of introducing me to your parents?" Nicky asked. "Is it because I'm dressed as a girl?"
"I'm not ashamed of you at all but, Nicky, you need to understand, I've always known I was gay. I've never brought a girl home. My Mother will drill you to death while planning our wedding."
"I've been interrogated before, Seth, and I think the US Marshal's Service is a little scarier than your Mother."
"You'd be wrong," Seth snorted. "My Mom is a suburban housewife. When she found out I was gay, she joined every rainbow pride parade and activist group in the area. When Susan decided to try out for cheerleading, Mom became the assistant coach just so she could help."
"Sounds like she loves you both a lot."
"She does, but Mom goes a tad bit overboard." Seth waved his hand toward the picturesque house with a perfectly manicured yard, complete with flowers lining the walkway. "I'd bet good money that right now she's inside cooking up a storm and setting out the good china so she can make a good impression on my date."
"Bring home dates often do you?" Nicky smiled but he was actually curious, and a bit jealous. He didn't like the idea of Seth being with anyone else. Nicky reached up and ran his fingers
