Conviction

Chapter 9:

"Are you excited?" Jess gushes last period.

"What for?" i ask clueless.

"Dean's coming over today." she reminds me with a duh tone.

I roll my eyes looking up at the teacher. "Duh i'm excited. I just hope mom or dad doesnt embarrass me."

I havn't been able to see Dean since Tuesday because i have had so much work to do and i feel bad because when i call him at night we probably only talk twenty minuets and then i fall asleep on him. I apologize but he just brushes it off saying he knows how it can be dealing with school.

"Your parents are cool so they won't embarrass you." Jess says then adds a whispered "Much."

The bell rings and i rush out of the class room telling them by. I get in my car and rush to my room to change my clothes.

"Evange get the door." Momma yells two hours later. I rush out of my room and down the stairs.

Mitchell beats me to the door though but he just stands there looking at Dean and Skyler like he never seen them before. "Mitch do you remember them from the store?"

"Are they gonna tell on me?"

"No buddy their gonna eat dinner with us."

Mitch shrugs and runs out of the room. "Come in come in."I i usher with ny arm held out. "My dad will be here in a few minutes and mom's in the Kitchen watching Fran. She thinks if she watches she'll be able to cook." I laugh and they chuckle with me.

"Do you want to watch a movie untill Dinners ready?" They nod so i take them down the hall and into the theatre room. "Popcorn?" I ask sitting in the front row.

"I want some popcorn." Skyler states getting him a bucket.

Dean shakes his head amused and comes to sit beside me. "My parents are probably going to ask a lot of questions. I hope your ready."

Dean takes my hand kissing my palm. I'm ready for anything that has to do with you."

"Anything?" I ask and he nods. "So you would come to church?"

"I would." He says quickly and i raise a brow at him. "I've been thinking about it. I know that God is the main part of your life and if i want to be in your life then i have to accept him as part of mine."

I smile brightly. "What do you mean accept him as part of yours?"

"I dont mean getting saved. I would just like to go to church with you."

The smile cant be wiped off of my face because at least he wants to go to church. Getting saved may take him a minute but as long as he gets saved ill be happy. I cant live my life with him if hes not.

"So Sunday?" I ask hopefully and he nods. I squeal and throw myself at him giving him a big hug. "I'm so excited."

Dean laughs his musical laugh. "I'm glad your excited."

"Evangelia!" Daddy shouts and i jump up running out of the theatre room.

"Daddy!" I greet giving him a big hug.

"Hey sweaty sorry im late. Is Dean here yet?" I point my thumb behind me where im sure he is located. "Ah Dean how are you son?" Daddy ask going up and giving him a man hug.

Dean smiles his re smile and hugs my father back. "I am doing fine sir. How have you been?"

"Mark son call me Mark. I've been fine thanks for asking." He looks behind Dean and smiles wider. "My wife has said si much about the red headed boy. I'm happy to have finally met you Skyler." My father says going to shake his hand.
