I woke up to the presence of someone poking my cheeks and saw Tory's face close to my own, when I groggily opened my eyes.
'Ah, yes. She stayed over last night.' I thought in realisation as I got up and exhaled a satisfied yawn.
"Slept well?" Tory asked with a bright smile, "I have made us some breakfast. Why don't you get ready and also drop me off to school?"
I looked at the time on the clock and saw that there was more than half an hour till the school would begin. I nodded in agreement and headed towards the washroom, "Can you make some black coffee for me, please?" I told her before entering the washroom.
"Sure." Tory replied with a nod and headed back to the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later, we had our breakfast together and I dropped Tory off at school on my bike.
'Fuck, that's Moon.' I thought in a mild shock as I noticed the insane girl on the campus. Not mentally insane, but insane for me.
"I'll see you later." I said quickly as Tory got off my bike, "Have fun at school." I smiled at her.
"You too." Tory smiled back and patted my back, "Have fun doing whatever you are going to do."
I nodded at her and drove away from the place. Although, on the way back home, I got a call from Mr. Larusso.
I stopped the bike on the side of the road and answered the call, "Yes, Mr. Larusso."
"Its Amanda actually." Mrs. Larusso said, "This is our home's number. Daniel has left for Japan yesterday due to some work. Can you come over, please? I needed some help."
"Anything wrong, Mrs. Larusso?" I asked in a concerned tone as I noticed the nervousness in her voice.
"Not, it's just that." Amanda sighed, "I thought on what you said to Sam on that day at the hospital, and now I want to consult you about her. I hate to admit it, but you were right that we have been treating Sam as a child."
"I just want to say, I currently have a victorious grin on my face." I said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Mrs. Larusso. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"Good." Amanda replied and disconnected the call.
"I guess I am going to the Larusso's then." I muttered to myself and turned around my Bike on the opposite road, to head towards my updated destination.

I reached Sam's home and rang the doorbell, which was soon answered by Amanda who welcomed me in with a smile.
"Sam's at school." Amanda said as she brought me to the living room and asked me to take a seat, "Do you want some juice? I have made it fresh."
"Sure." I nodded.
Amanda went to the kitchen and came back with a glass of pomegranate juice, which she handed to me.
"So." Amanda looked at me as she sat on the sofa to my right, "Just out of curiosity and no offense, you're an orphan, right?"
I wondered where this was coming from, but I did not think much about it and nodded in confirmation, "Yes."
"And school?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"No." I shook my head and suspiciously furrowed my eyes at her, "Aren't we here to talk about Sam?"
"Yeah, Sam, right." Amanda nodded as she remembered about the main agenda, "Should I let her continue Karate? I mean, she's not doing anything at home. I suggested some hobbies and classes to her, but she said she's not interested."
"Learning new hobbies is good." I nodded, "But I don't think Sam has recovered from the Incident yet. Not to mention, she still attends the school with same people who were involved in the school fight."
"Yeah, I wonder how that bitch was not Expelled." Amanda snapped at Tory's indirect mention and cursed with a frown, "She used a lawyer to get out of the situation even before I could file an complaint against her."
"Filing a complaint would not have helped, because Miyagi-Do and the Larusso's have faced the most blame for the incident." I said in a calm tone, "And you shouldn't worry about that girl. The probation won't let her hurt Sam at a public place again."
"Yeah, that's a good thing." Amanda nodded in agreement as she composed herself, "We are still dealing from the damage we sustained after that incident. Daniel had to travel Japan for business, because even our dealership is at risk."
"How?" I asked with a surprised scowl.
Amanda sighed and explained me the whole thing, about how they were close to losing thier Car dealership to someone else. Someone who was eyeing their business for a long time.
"I am sure Mr. Larusso won't go down easily." I assured her to show my support, "And I'll also try to rectify the matter on my end, and explain the situation on my social media."
"Yeah, that would certainly help us a lot!" Amanda looked at me with an astonished smile, "And I am also sorry for you. Because all this happening, we had to close down Miyagi-Do for all the students."
"I can understand the situation, Mrs. Larusso." I nodded with a pursed smile and stayed quiet as I finished the drink.
"Why don't you come to the main topic, Mrs. Larusso?" I asked finally, because things were getting awkward due to our mutual silence and her thoughtful stare at me.
"Of course." Amanda sighed and gave me a soft glare, "I wanted to ask.. Are you sleeping with my daughter? Because I know you two are not in a relationship, Alex."
"Your daughter is still a virgin, if that's what you're worried about." I said by taking a deep breath to compose myself from the shocker and sighed heavily, "Why would you think that.. I am sleeping with Sam, Mrs. Larusso?"
"That's because she's spends at least two days of the week at your home." Amanda reasoned with an embarrassed look as she realised her mistake, "You're also.. Hot." She avoided my eyes with a blush, "I mean, I would've surely dated you if I was at Sam's age. And I am sure, most girls around you think the same."
"Yeah, they do." I answered with an amused laugh, "Fortunately or not, I am extremely picky about choosing my friends, let alone sharing intimacy with a girl."
"So you are..?" Amanda asked in meaningful tone.
"No, I've had my moments." I replied with a meaningful smirk, "And Mrs. Larusso, if you're worried that I'm friends with Sam for getting into her pants, then you don't need to worry about that. I am not sexually interested in her."
"Why!?" Amanda whined with a mother's concerned look, "I mean, is there something wrong with my daughter?"
"Your daughter has dated three boys and cheated on all the three of them within six months." I stated the harsh truth with a shrug, "But I do think your daughter is attractive, Mrs. Larusso."
"But," Amanda infuriatedly glared at me, "The way you said it. Is the reason you're not interested in Sam because you think she has loyalty issues?"
"Do you know how many times I could've kissed Sam when I was at Miyagi-Do, while she was dating Robby?" I questioned rhetorically.
"Isn't it because you were flirting with Sam?" Amanda stood up and accusingly pointed her finger at me, "I have seen you guys laugh together and stay close! You can't put all the blame on my daughter!"
"You are being overprotective of her, Mrs. Larusso." I informed her with a sigh instead of getting provoked by her accusations, "Have men not tried to flirt with you, even when they know that you are married? Have you cheated on Daniel before?"
"Never!" Amanda yelled in exasperation, "I would never cheat on Daniel." She sighed as she realised the point of my question, "But I do understand what you're trying to say."
Amanda calmed down and sat back on the couch with a hand worriedly massaging her head, "What should I do then?" She genuinely looked at me, "You know Sam as a close friend, while I know her only as my daughter."
"I say, you let her explore the world on her own." I stated with a light hearted chuckle, "I am sure you must've dated a lot of guys back at your time."
"Would you have?" Amanda asked me all of a sudden, by biting her lower lip and eagerly looking into my eyes. She was purposely tempting me.
"I would've at least banged you a couple of times." I answered blatantly and shrugged, "I mean, you're still a Milf material, but I respect Mr. Larusso too much to make a move on you."
"Damn, you're one shameless boy." Amanda said with a deep blush, as she felt a little aroused after hearing my thoughts, "No wonder girls find you so hot."
"Don't tell me.." I suspiciously narrowed my eyes at her, "What did you find out, Mrs Larusso?"
"Your underwear." Amanda replied by looking straight into my eyes, "And not only that, Sam was using it last night to.. masturbate."
"No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere." I muttered aloud with a stunned expression, "Sam.. That girl." I sighed in embarrassment and covered my face, "Sorry, Mrs. Larusso."
"There's no need to be sorry about it." Amanda waved off at me, "You have only been honest with me. I've had several doubts after last night, but now I am not afraid to have my daughter around you."
"It's just that.." Amanda nervously smiled at me, "Don't let Sam steal any of your other clothes, okay? Also, don't tell Sam that I told you all of this, because she might actually stop talking to me."
"Yeah, mothers are not supposed to interfere so much in their children's life." I replied with a snort.
"Excuse me, young man?" Amanda gasped and narrowed her eyes at me.
"I mean, you spy on your daughter while she's masturbating." I said to defend my point, "And you should stop doing that, really."
"I happened to come across it by chance!" Amanda whined, "You don't get to lecture me, okay?" She snorted and looked away in disbelief by crossing her arms, "And thank you for taking care of Sam. I'm sorry I doubted your intentions with my daughter."
"Doubting me was not the wrong thing to do." I replied with an arrogant smirk.
"Wipe that smug smirk off your face." Amanda complaint with an amused snort.
"So, can I go now?" I asked, since the misunderstanding was clear now.
"No, you're not going anywhere." Amanda glared at me, "You're staying over for Lunch and you're going to tell me everything about Sam. And have you guys kissed yet?" She asked with a sudden mood swing, "I mean, kissing is not sex."
"No, we have not kissed." I replied with a sigh and shook my head, "But yeah, I have masturbated while thinking about Sam several times." She immediately glared at me again, "I'm a teenager, okay? Spare me the judgement."
"At least you're not a liar." Amanda smiled pleasantly and stood up, "Come with me to the kitchen, you're helping me cook."
"Better than watching TV." I agreed with a shrug and got up.
"What, watching my ass?" Amanda countered back with a mischievous smirk.
"You have some dangerous mood swings, ma'am." I gasped in bewilderment and wondered how Daniel handled this woman.
"As if you're not going to fap to me after getting back home." Amanda snorted as she headed to the kitchen with a lewd sway of her hips, "Can't touch these~" She winked at me as she saw me checking out her ass.
"Only if you were single, Mrs. Larusso." I sighed in frustration as I followed her to the kitchen.
