Dinner With Dashiell

I know that the pizza should be ready any minute. I make my way downstairs so that Dashiell doesn't suspect anything.
I left Cate behind so she could take her time and get dressed. I can't believe this just happened. We, I mean I wanted to wait because she's the first women I want a relationship with, but I couldn't resist her.

I find everything in the kitchen and set the table. The pizza rings and I yell "pizza's ready". I kind of feel like I'm calling my family like I was a mother pffff. Kinds are cute... As long as they're not mine haha.

Dashiell is down in the second taking his soda out of the fridge and thanking me for the seted table. I cut the pizzas and put both of em on the table and that's when she arrives. I might just be in love because I can't take my eyes off of her.

She shyly smiles a little uncomfortable. She's cute.

"so how's homework?" I ask as we start to eat.
"please can we talk about something else, we are eating pizza, don't ruin this moment" he chuckles.

"come on it can't be that bad. If you listen in class and work regularly it should be fine. I can help you if you want" I suggest.

"easy for you to say, you're brain is mentally 40. You understand everything. It's like you've been to school twice" he answers. We all laugh. "but for real, I need help in French. You said you would speak French to me so I would at least hear how it's supposed to sound".

I look at Cate remembering the moment she jumped in my car on our date and I spoke French to her. I never want to forget that day. I don't want to forget any day with her.

"well let's start" I say to him "tu pense à quoi ?" (what are you thinking about). They both look at me as if I was a car. Dashiell is annoyed because he now has to answer but Cate is shocked because this is gonna stay stuck in her head.

To pay me back for making him try to speak French for 20 minutes, which was very hard to understand, he starts to ask about my dating life. He knows that I hate that because I don't date, I don't do the girlfriend thing and stuff.

"so when are you getting a girlfriend?" he says in a French accent.

"just because you use the accent doesn't mean you speak the language sweetie" I give him a bitchy smile ignoring his question.

"oh come on, rumor has it that you've slept with half the school" Cate and I chocke at the same time but for different reasons. I giggle.

"Who tf said that? That's not true. I don't sleep with girls younger than me... Okay maybe 4 or 5 of them but that's it" we chuckle.
"you pedophile" he adds.

Cate isn't really amused. One I sleep around and talk about it in front of her and two the joke might hit her harder than me.... Not that she is but you know...

The dinner finishes and I leave to go home. As I'm in my pj's in bed I decide to call Cate. I know that it bothered her that I talkt about all those girls, but I'm also friends with her son so...
