me and mrs jones

I know it’s only when I have problems that I blog…shame on me…but I can trust blogville to make me feel better.
From the topic, u can guess the P. it’s me and Mrs. Jones. We were building a relationship or so I thought but I’ve noticed that nowadays, she’s just plainly civil to me. She just says hello, asks about my parents and every once in a while she throws in an extra line. I tried to talk to MJ about it and he didn’t want to say too much (and I def didn’t want to put him on d spot, u know how boys can be about their moms) but I gather that it had to do with the bad patch I had with her son sometime late last year (the time when the relationship was topsy-turvy). She thought I was taking advantage of her son, but now that we are past that, she still has this thing going on.
BTW did I remember to mention that she suggested that he break up the relationship at the time when we had loads of drama?
Way forward: I asked MJ and he said I should build a relationship with her. HOW? She doesn’t have an accommodating mien for me so how am I supposed to go about it. I call her randomly but not for too long, like a minute-ish convo. When I’m over at hers, I pop into the kitchen to help but she still doesn’t say much; otherwise, she’s in her room and I usually have to make MJ get her so I can say hello and goodbye. It’s tough and I’m so envious of MJ’s relationship with my mum. I’d be just fine if I had a tenth of that relationship with his mum.
I hope it doesn’t get to the point where MJ will get tired of “having to defend me” (-his words) every time they have a chat about me. Help!!!!!!
