I grabbed my luggage and tossed it on the bed, unzipping it quickly to get into a bikini and hit the pool. My parents dragged me to their "peaceful" vacation yet left me alone in the hotel. Luckily for me, I got my own room away from my annoying little brother.
Now that I'm 18 I don't have to do activities with my parents. These vacations that my mother loves so much gets annoying after doing them three times a year, every year.
I hear knocking and groan loudly, walking over to the door and opening it. My mom has her usual peppy smile on as she asks for the millionth time if I want to go mountain climbing with them.
"I'm fine mom. I'm just going to go to the pool and relax. Maybe tomorrow's activity," I say kindly, knowing damn well I can't disrespect my mother. I have no reason to really. She's nothing but kind to me. But I'd rather stay away from her now that I have the opportunity.
You see, my mother is southern baptist. She's very religious and I'm... well... I'm something she doesn't want me to be.
Lesbian.
If she ever found out I'd probably be disowned. Since I'm planning on moving out soon enough and heading to college, I need her to not hate me. She is paying for my college tuition.
"Is that what you're wearing? Its a bit... provocative don't you think? I don't want any guys hitting on you or anything. Or trying to do things to you that..."
"Mom don't stress. I'm not trying to get any guy's attention. Its just extremely hot and I'd rather wear this than my one piece!" Technically I was telling the truth. I wasn't trying to get a guy's attention, I was trying to get a girl's attention. But my mom doesn't need the details.
