I was so anxious about this dinner, i dont feel like i need to try and impress him but im scared, what if i go to over the top? AGHHHH my inner self screamed. I decided to go with something casual but still fancy enough for an expensive restaurant. I walked into my wadrobe and decided id wear a romper, the only things i wore were rompers, jeans, high waisted denim and band shirts, i only had 3 dresses that i barely wore.
I tried on all of my rompers and settled on a black open-chest lace sleeved playsuit, i had rather big boobs so it fitted perfect. I then straightened my hair and lightly curled it, put on my same old make up and then decided on shoes. I decided to wear my strapped black heels, i hung onto them because i had to drive. Then i grabbed my plain black clutch and looked in the mirror, i looked amazing. This will blow him away.
It was about a 5 minute drive before i turned up at the Hood residents driveway, it was 7:06 so i was guessing his parents were home, i put on my heels and walked up to the door, the door opened before i could knock and Mali Koa was standing before me, she looked at me and pulled me into a hug, 'Thank you, Scarlett', she started, 'My brother hasnt been this happy in ages, its thanks to you that he wakes up and smiles everyday and me and my family couldnt be more greatful', i could hear her trying to hold back her tears, she pulled me out of the hug and closed the door, she walked me to the outdoor swinging bench on the porch and sat me down, 'My brother loved it in New Zealand, he had heaps of friends and he had great teachers at school, he had a great life style then when mum told him we were moving to Australia, the happy Calum dissapeared, he didnt talk to us for weeks, we lived here for 2 weeks before he started school, everyday he would wake up and hate his life, he blamed himself for us having to move to Australia which i dont actually know why he did that, but we could tell he was depressed and we were not sure wether or not to enrol him in school, but we did it anyway', Mali Koa started wiping the tears from her eyes, 'On that first day, when he came back from your house, happy Calum was back, he told us all about you and how pretty you were and he wouldnt stop talking about you, and hes been the same happy Calum since then, even happier, actually. My parents have been wanting to meet you since that day, they adore you, Scarlett', she finished, 'Wow, i had no idea. I'm so glad that Calum is happier now, because he makes me happy aswell, i would absolutely love to meet your parents', i said, i didnt really know what to say, 'Come meet them', Mali Koa offered me her hand and walked inside.
She let go of my hand and told me to stay for a second, 'Mum, Dad, i want you to meet someone', i heard her say, she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the dining room. 'Who is this dear?', her mum said, 'Mum, Dad. This is Scarlett', her parents mouths dropped and her mum immediately got up from her seat and walked towards me, pulling me into a hug and stroking my hair, 'Darling, thank you thank you thank you', she repeated, 'You make my son very happy', she said pulling me out of the hug and resting her thumb on my cheek, 'You're so gorgeous', 'Calum is a very lucky boy', she said, 'Scarlett, these are my parents, Joy and David,' Mali Koa said, 'It's so lovely to meet both of you', i smiled at them both, 'Oh no sweety, its so lovely to meet you', she said smiling, 'I'll go get Calum for you dear', Joy said walking up the stairs, i dont think David showed as much emotions and Mali Koa and Joy.
I saw Joy walking back down the stairs which meant Calum wasnt far behind, i was so nervous.
I saw Calum and my heart stopped, he looked at me in awe and i looked at him the same way, he was wearing a plain black shirt that showed off the 2 tattoos he had recently got and black skinny jeans with black boots, he looked absolutely amazing and we were matching, 'Mrs Hemmings you look gorgeous as always', 'I could say the same about you, Mr Hood', we both smiled at each other, 'Hey Mal, can you get a quick photo of us before we go?', 'Sure', we stood against a wall and Mali Koa took a photo of us, 'Well you too enjoy yourself', Joy said walking us out to the door, 'We will mum, bye love you', he said kissing her on the cheek before closing the door. Wow, i loved his family.
We got in my car and started to drive towards Char, 'Hey Calum, do you want to stay at my house tonight?, only if you want to', i asked, 'Yeah, i would like that', he smiled at me, he was retweeting a few fans on twitter so he didnt talk much.
We arrived, i got out of the car and Calum placed his arm around my waist causing me to get goosebumps, 'Reservation for Hemmings', i say and see a few teenage girls heads pop up at the word 'Hemmings', jesus, these boys had fans everywhere. 'Ah, this way.', the waiter showed us to our table. We were sat outside under the stars and the sky looked incredible tonight.
A few girls asked for photos before we ordered, Calum ordered beef and i ordered chicken, our food came really quickly and we were laughing all night.
Over dessert was when things got intense, 'So, Scarlett. You never told me where your mum is?', He asked.
I was fine discussing my mother, i didnt get upset because it happened 10 years ago and i knew that my mum wouldnt have wanted me to mourn over her for that long, she wanted me to be proud of her and proud to talk about her acomplishments. And i am, i am so beyond proud of my mother.
'Well, my mum is up there', i looked up at the stars, 'Oh, Scarlett, i'm so sorry', he said, 'Dont be, im too proud of her to get upset anymore', 'Thats good then, but, how? like how did she die? if you dont mind me asking.', he asking, 'Well...'.
