Chapter 3- BBQ lunch

((ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR THE NIGHT  ENJOY))

Katrina

I woke up feeling quite rested, suddenly the memories of last night popped into my mind. I immediately felt my face heat. Also, remembering the fact we're having lunch at their place. I pull the covers off of me and head to my bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth. After using the toilet, I exited the bathroom, going towards my walk in closet. I rummaged through the closet. I found some black shorts with roses embroidered on the back pockets. I pulled out my "Guns 'N' Roses" shirt, deciding on whether or not I should wear it.. I decide against it, so I grabbed a simple grey buttoned up shirt.

I got dressed and braided my hair into a messy but cute braid. I put my flip flops on and headed on downstairs, as I was walking down the stairs, my flip flop came apart, making me trip and stumble down the 3 last steps.

"Aahh.. ouch." I say.

Mom rushes out of the kitchen.
"OH! Are you okay, sweetheart?"

"Yes, that hurt though." I say, she helps me up. My dad comes downstairs. He looks at me and mom.

"What happened? I heard a loud thud."

"I tripped and fell." I reply.

"Oh, are you alright, dear?" He asks me, checking for any injuries.

"I'm okay. These stupid shoes, not so much." I say, making them laugh, and feeling relieved.

"Alright, well grab different shoes and let's get going then." Mom says to me. I nod and walk on back upstairs, holding the rail the whole way. I walked into my room and grabbed my slides instead. I checked myself in the mirror and sure enough, there's a small faint bruise forming on my thigh.

"Just great" I huff out. With that I left my room, walking downstairs, slowly and holding on for my dear life. Call me dramatic, but I almost died.

We exited our house, dad locking the door behind us, we headed on towards their house. Mom holding a bunt,marble cake. It's a customary thing to do. Mom nudges me to knock, once we've arrived at their door. I sigh, raising my hand and knocked twice.

Soon enough, Carrie opened up, greeting us warmly. I gave her a small smile and a wave. She stepped aside. "Welcome to our humble abode. Please do come in."

We walked on in, mom handing her cake. She thanks my mom. She leads us out to the backyard.

"John and Eli are out there." She says.

Eli? Huh.. interesting.

We stepped out, the dads already greeting each other and making small talk, I looked around, Elijah is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, someone grabs me from behind, startled, I screamed.

"Geez.. you nearly broke my eardrums." He says. I turn around, glaring at him. I smack him on the arm.

"You scared the shit out of me." I say. Turning to our families. "I apologize for the foul word and for my scream." They only nod and get back to doing what they were doing.

"Sorry." He says, pouting, opening his arms for a hug.

I sigh and give him a hug. "Alright, I forgive you this time."

"Thanks. Come, I'll give you a tour of my place." He says, grabbing my hand and dragging me inside.

We started off with the main floor, then we headed downstairs to the basement. He showed me the gaming set up.

"Cool." Is all I say. He nods. Then we head on upstairs. I went first..

He stops me mid way. I turn to look at him, in confusion.
