Sarah's love stories

Something's happening III.

The dinner

Tom, Lynette, Porter, Preston and Lydia were standing outside and waited the door to be opened.

"Lynette, won't they be angry that I come too?" Lydia asked nervously. "Maybe Edie cooked for just the exact amount of people she invited." She was playing with her fingers.

"They invited a lot of neighbours, I don't think they will have a problem" Lynette said to her in a confident tone.

"You don't think, so you don't know" Lydia was really anxious. "Maybe I should go back".

"Shut up Lydia" Preston gave her a bored look.

Lydia gulped and became silent. Porter and Preston were so mean to her. Especially Porter. Preston just ignored her mostly. She could see in her imagination that if the three of them were the same age and attended to the same school when they were younger, she would have been the shy and loser girl while Preston and Porter the cool kids of the school who always humiliate her and laugh at her with the others. She's glad that they didn't go to school at the same time and there's a 8 years age gap between them.
She waited for Lynette to tell off her kids but she didn't.
She didn't.

Lydia gulped and turned her head away from them to the door while chewed her inner wall of her cheek.

Edie opened the door with a beautiful blond and wild haired girl next to her. She must be Misty. Lydia suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her palms started to sweat a little. She didn't understand this reaction. 'Sure it's just the anxiety.' She thought.

Both of the blondes smiled but when Misty looked directly at Lydia, her heart bumped and her face fell just for tenths of a second, it was barely visible, then her smile grew a little wider.

"Hi Lynette, Tom, Porter,Preston...." Edie gave all of them kisses on their cheeks for greeting, Misty did the same but while Misty still gave kisses, Edie stopped for a second in front of Lydia "Aaaand you aare..." she smiled with a little confused look on her face and looked at Lynette.

"I'm Lydia" "She's Lydia" they said simulteniously. Edie still looked at Lynette with a puzzled look.
"My sister, you know I talked about her here and there"

"Ooooh suure, I remember. Lydia nice to meet you. Edie Britt" she gave her hand to the girl and when Lydia said her whole name they gave cheek kisses.

"She's my niece, this dinner is exists because of her arrival." Edie stepped away form me and looked at Misty who smiled at Lydia and stepped in front of her to greet.
The others started to go inside slowly.

"Hi, I'm Misty Day" she gave her hand to Lydia, who slowly took it. Lydia blushed but she was glad that the sun was halfway down by then.

"Lydia Lindquist, nice to meet you" they smiled widely at each other.

"I could tell the same. Come in. What can I pour? Some wine or wodka, or gin, but if you don't want alcohol I can pour water or some juice or if you don't want anything you can tell, but Edie has almost everything and..."  Nonono stop trembling, I can't like her, I can't. They can't find out.

"Wine is okay, thank you" Lydia smiled widely how adorable Misty was. She could see that the other girl is nervous too. This calmed her down a little that not her own self was the only nervous person in that house.

"I will drink wine as well" She poured for both of them but an other bell ring interrupted them.
"I have to greet the other neighbours but we will continue" Misty smiled apologetically.
"Sure" And while Misty was away, Lydia wanted to took seat but realized that there are name cards at the plates. 'Name cards? Well okay...' she thought.
But when she realized her name was next to Preston's her mood dropped a little. 'Fantastic'  and she sighed while sat down. She watched who sits the other side of her and saw Porter's name. 'No way... Why would Edie put me in the middle of these two... Why?' She didn't understand. 'Maybe I should change the cards... would anyone notice? Ah I don't dare... or...' She looked around but nobody were watching her, most of the people were in the livingroom (which is in one with the dining room next to it) and the others were talking in the kitchen. So she stood up and started to read the cards but before she could do anything 2 people came to the table. Her plan was ruined.
