TG Caption: Mom's "Best Friend" (Part 2)


Mom's "Best Friend" (Part 2)

    "We should tell my-" Mom, is what I was going to say, but Kelly cut me off.
    "Woah, hold on now. Can we maybe pretend to be each other? At least for the time being?" She seemed pretty confident in saying this. Surprising considering how off the walls this experience was, she must have a good reason.
    "Pretend to be each other? Why?"
    "Well, I think it would break June apart if she knew the two of us were swapped and she needs me... or you, or whoever, point is she needs her girlfriend. Can you be that for her? Just for now?" Be my own mom's girlfriend for the time being? That was absurd. How was I supposed to keep up appearances as Kelly, and her me?
    "I..." I didn't feel great about this, but if the two of them were secretly dating- and i had pretty good reason to believe so, then she knew better than I probably do. "I don't know but... if you really think its for the best Kelly..."
    "Hey, as long as June is around it's Alex to you."
    "Right, "Alex"" It didn't quite feel right, giving up my name like that, but it was a necessary evil.
    "Alex? Kelly? Is everything alright?"
    "Uh- yup! Everything's fine just... don't feel well for the moment." Hopefully that was excuse enough. Not sure I have it in me to... get back to what they were doing back there
    "Yup, no need to worry Mom."
    "Alright well, I understand. I'll get you some medicine. You can stay as long as you like, I hope to see you this weekend, ba- uh, Kelly?" In retrospect, I can't believe they kept their relationship a secret from me for this long.
    "Yeah..." This weekend?
    "Well, I have a lot to teach you, so get ready. You have a date lined up for this weekend, so let's get started." It was going to be a long week. A way to swap us back better be found out soon...
