Delilah jumped on the couch and said, "Hi mom and dad, I'm back." Today was her 15th birthday. Her friends showered her with well-wishes and presents. Her father wished her as well, but her mother didn't even look at her.
What did I do wrong? she thought to herself.
Her father had planned a birthday celebration for her later in the evening. She came down to witness the preparations, but her mother was nowhere to be seen.
She was wearing a black skirt and a red graphic sweatshirt with a collared shirt underneath. The dress code was casual, therefore her father and the other guests will also be dressed casually.

Just then she saw Maxwell and his mother coming inside the house. He was wearing black leather pants with an oversized black leather jacket and underneath was a cotton black teeshirt. He sure loves black.
How is that even a casual outfit? He looks like he is going to a fashion show. she thought to herself and stared at him from far away.
He was greeting her dad so he didn't notice Delilah's presence now right behind him. She thought that this was the best time to scare him.
She jumped near him but instead of him getting scared, he tripped over her leg and fell on top of her.
"If you wanted to hug me you could have just said it, no need to jump at me and all" she repeated the same thing he said last time which resulted in a small tint of red hue on Maxwell's cheek.
Delilah's dad and Maxwell's mom were looking at each other with knowing eyes and a coy smile seeing their children's interaction.
"I'm sorry," he said embarrassedly as he stood up and pulled her up by her hand.
"Aww is little Max shy?" she fake gasped and looked at him standing there with a red tint on his face and neck.
"Del just shut-" his sentence got cut off when someone cleared their throat. Maxwell turned around and saw his mom and her dad staring at them with a smirk.
He put his head down in embarrassment fulling blushing now.
Delilah on the other hand just smiled at them. She went forward and engulfed Max's mother in a warm loving hug mumbling a soft "I missed you aunt".
