Maybe so, but but you can never be too careful Master Matthew, I teased.
He smirked but he didnt argue.
I showed him some of the new moves that Ive been working on in my own defense classes and he mimicked the moves almost flawlessly.
I have to say, I was pretty impressed with his level of expertise.
Wow, I said as he blocked my attack for what felt like the hundredth time.
You are really good at this.
Defense was one of the things my father taught me, he explained with a shrug.
He also said I needed to be prepared for anything.
Well, hes a wise man, I said, grabbing a water bottle from the ice bucket I set out for our training session.
I handed Matt a water and then grabbed one for myself.
He is, Matt said thoughtfully.
Hes the best when hes around.
I gave him a sympathetic look.
Do you wish he could be around more often? He stared down at the water bottle, fiddling mindlessly with the cap.
It would be nice, he murmured.
But I get that hes busy … I put my hand on his shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
Im sorry, Matt, I told him sincerely.
He kept his eyes fixed on the water bottle and I could tell something was weighing on his mind.
I wondered if it still had to do with his father, or if it was something else.
Is there something else wrong? I asked.
He looked a bit sheepish, and his cheeks turned pink.
Kind of, he murmured.
I might have gotten in trouble at school today … and now they want to have a parent teacher conference.
Does Gavin know? I asked.
Matt shook his head and looked up at me.
Hell be so mad if he found out, Matt said in a hoarse whisper.
I cant tell him.
Well, if you dont tell him, then what are you going to do? Your teachers are expecting your parent there.
He nodded and then he took a deep breath.
I was wondering if maybe you could be my mom for the conference … I raised my brows.
But Matt, Im not your mom, I reminded him.
I know that, he said quickly.
But you could pretend Just for the conference ! Your father would kill us both if he found out about this, I said, shaking my head.
I cant risk my job ? You arent going to get fired, Judy.
You are the first tutor that I actually like.
My dad wont risk losing you, Matt told me.
Please, Judy.
He wont have to know if we dont tell him.
If he finds out about me getting in trouble, hell disown me.
I smiled at him.
He would never do that, Matt, I assured him.
I cant lose him … I saw the panic in his eyes, and I furrowed my brows, wondering where this was coming from.
Please, help me … Staring into his pleading and desperate eyes, my heart tugged for the young boy.
I sighed and then I finally nodded.
Okay, Ill help you, Matt.
Ill pretend to be your mother.
Judys POV
I could not believe I actually agreed to this.
I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown.
I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years.
Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother.
For a moment, I had doubts that I could be too young, and the teachers would never fall for it.
But those doubts slipped away when I grabbed one of my mothers business attires and slipped it on.
I glanced at the clock and sighed ; I only had a few minutes before my Uber arrived and took me to Matts school.
I wasnt even sure what it was he did that got him in trouble.
I should have asked so I could better prepare my response.
It had to be the response of a parent though ; I had to be angry with him and give him a stern talking to.
I ran my fingers through my hair, wondering if maybe I should put my hair in a low ponytail instead of leaving it down.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head ; no … if I cant pull off being his mother, then my next bet is to seduce the teacher.
Or so Nan would tell me if I were to tell her what I was up to today.
The honking outside indicated that my Uber was there I took a deep breath before giving myself one more look in the mirror.
Satisfied with my attire, I grabbed my purse off my bed, shouldered it, and quickly left the room.
I was surprised that my mother was in the living room when I got downstairs ; and even more surprised when I saw that she was sipping on a cup of coffee.
When she saw me, she gave me a small smile and motioned for the kitchen with her head.
