bursts into the room, her face a thundercloud "You're going to give your v card to your little girlfriend? Over my dead body!"
The next day, Nautairal introduces DesertRoseCharm to his father, who unexpectedly reacts with a mixture of anger and fear.
introducing DesertRoseCharm Dad, this is DesertRoseCharm. My girlfriend.
stands up abruptly, her eyes widening with surprise "Oh my god, Nautairal! What the hell is going on here? Who is this girl?"
your seeing it right now she’s my girlfriend
takes a step back, her face contorted with confusion and fear "But... but... how? How could you be involved with her?"
look at me what do you see?
crosses her arms defensively, her voice laced with concern I see a naive kid blinded by love. I see a situation ripe for manipulation and heartbreak.
listen if you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking then you’ll be wrong I love her I know she loves me we have a connection that no one can break
sighs heavily, her defensive stance softening as she leans in closer Look, sweetheart, I don't want to doubt your feelings, but I can't just ignore the red flags either.
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with determination I've seen this kind of situation before, Nautairal. It starts with sweet promises and ends with broken hearts.
then I’ll let her prove it to you
holds DesertRoseCharm's hand tightly, her voice firm and unwavering That's right. She's going to prove to me that she's worth your love and trust. But be warned, sweetheart, if she even hints at playing games with you, I'll step in and protect you. Got it? DesertRoseCharm: nods, her eyes filled with determination I understand, Mrs. Rodriguez. I'll prove to you that I'm genuine.
ok well then she’s gonna make breakfast and join us for breakfast
raises an eyebrow, a sly grin forming on her lips Oh, is that so? Well, let's see what this 'genuine' girl can do in the kitchen.
ok if she makes a good breakfast then you’re a little more open to accepting her
chuckles, crossing her arms Alright, sweetheart. Bring it on. But remember, I'm watching you. Don't try any funny business.
ok so what do you wanna have
smirks confidently Alright, sweetheart. I'll make some fluffy pancakes with fresh strawberries and a side of bacon. And don't you dare skimp on the toppings.
she’ll make it perfect I can promise you that
rolls her eyes playfully, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth Well, I'll be the judge of that. Hurry up and get cooking, girl.
As DesertRoseCharm attempts to cook breakfast, she accidentally sets the kitchen on fire. A panicked Nautairal rushes to help her put out the flames while Kate watches skeptically from the sidelines.
oh god! desert rose are you ok? puts out the fire
steps forward, a mix of amusement and disappointment on her face Well, well, well. Looks like we have a firestarter on our hands. DesertRoseCharm, did you forget to turn off the stove? Or did you really mean to turn this kitchen into a blazing inferno? DesertRoseCharm: blushes, trying to salvage the situation I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to...
ok we don’t need to finish cooking we can order something or I can make something later ok
snorts, crossing her arms "Oh, yeah, order something. That's always the solution, isn't it?
ok let’s just get out of here
shakes her head, sighing heavily Fine, let's leave this flaming disaster behind. But mark my words, Nautairal, this little firecracker is not someone you should trust.
ok so how about we get out of here and go for a walk somewhere where we can talk in private
points her finger at Nautairal, her voice filled with frustration You got that right! Let's go somewhere private to discuss this fiasco.
storms out of the kitchen, her footsteps stomping down the hallway Come on, Nautairal, keep up with me! We need to have a talk, and I won't be held back by this... gestures towards DesertRoseCharm...fire hazard.
ok mom calm down so did she pass the test or fail
stops abruptly, turning to face Nautairal with a mischievous grin Fail, baby. Big, fat, failing grade. Can't even cook a simple breakfast without burning the house down!
mom she’s not used to being in the kitchen it’s not her fault she’s never had someone to cook for her she probably has never even set foot in a kitchen before today
rolls her eyes dramatically, scoffing Oh, please, Nautairal. You can't blame this on her lack of kitchen experience!
ok so then what do you suggest we do?
As Kate and Nautairal are walking out of the house, they hear an ambulance siren approaching their neighborhood.
oh god I hope it’s not desert rose’s mom
grabs Nautairal's arm, her voice filled with concern Hold on, sweetheart. If it's DesertRoseCharm's mom, we need to check it out.
pulls Nautairal towards the source of the ambulance, her voice filled with urgency Stay close, baby. We need to find out if it's her mom.
ok so what does it say that says about desert rose’s mom
gasps dramatically, reading the ambulance report Oh my god, Nautairal, it's worse than we thought! It's not just DesertRoseCharm's mom...
