I was pacing through my room worrying about how this dinner was going to go and if Aspen would even look my way. Was she still mad at me? Was she over it? I had no fucking clue what to think I was falling hard for this girl and in the process, I was losing my fucking mind trying to remain true to myself and consider her feelings in the process. I'm an asshole and I'm incapable of love and I don't want to be in love with anyone so why was it so different when it came to her, how can one girl make you feel like the only man on the earth when she looks at you? I've been trying to mask it for weeks now but there's no stopping this feeling it's overwhelming. The more I thought about her the more I began to sweat knowing that she was minutes maybe even seconds away from knocking on my front door.
"Jace, get down here now!!" my mother yelled from at the bottom of the stairs. I could tell that she was nervous as well I don't know why it's not like they're some new business partners that she had to impress. Madelyn had been my mom's best friend for years so I didn't understand her fucking reasoning for being so nervous. I make my way down the stairs and stand next to the new glass dining room table that my mom has been obsessing over for months.
"You look so handsome" My mom smiled while fixing my tie.
"Okay Mom, I think it's good it's just Madelyn relax." I placed my hands over hers as she was fidgeting with my tie. She smiled and kissed my cheek.
"Everything looks great honey," Arlo walks into the dining room with a big ass goofy smile. Oh, how I wanted to just smack it off but instead I rolled my eyes and placed my hands in my pocket. I was just overall disgusted by his existence. "Play nice tonight,...both of you" My mom looked toward me and Arlo staring into both of our souls. As the door opened she quickly changed her mood and made her way to the front of the house.
"Oh my goodness Maddie you look so good," my mom smiled and embraced Aspen's mom with a long hug. As I look over I see her Aspen standing tall next to Stacey wearing the most beautiful lacey white dress that fell just above her knees. With a pair of white heels that laced up her beautiful long golden brown legs. She was just overall beautiful how her curls laid so soft on her shoulders she was perfect.
"Jace come over here and say hi please" My mom gave me a stern look and gestured her head toward Madelyn.
