After the training session, I meet Eli outside of the dojo
"Right, you've got to let me touch your Mohawk." He chuckles
"No one's touching the Mohawk." I groan
"Aww, come on. Not even me?" I give him puppy eyes, he raises an eyebrow and gives me a cheeky smirk
"Maybe." I chuckle and give him a cheeky smile back
"I like this confidence." He gets closer to me and seems to get flirty
"You do?" I decide to get flirty back, I look up at him
"Mmhmm." Miguel speaks
"If you too kiss I'm going to puke." I then realise how close we are, I step back and look at Miguel
"What, no." Eli smirks at me
"Why not?" I look at him shocked and raise an eyebrow
"Wow, this confidence has happened really quickly, I don't mind it." Dad then comes out the dojo and calls
"Freya, let's go." I look at him
"Coming." I look at Miguel and Eli
"See you tomorrow." I hug Miguel and give Eli a kiss on the cheek
"That's all your getting." He chuckles, I smile and go up to dad getting in the car, he looks at me
"You and Hawk?" I chuckle
"Yeah, right. Eli's has been my friend for a really long time, I'm kind of enjoying the new confidence he has. I guess I'm kinda sorry for having a go at you." He shakes his head
"Don't be, you protected your friend, if Hawk didn't want to change who people view him, he would've been a pussy and stayed a loser, but he did." I look out the car to Miguel and Eli, I mutter
"He'll always be Eli to me." Dad begins to drive off, once we arrive back at his, I decide to drag dad to help me clean up a bit and invite Miguel, his mum and his Yaya over for dinner and dessert. I start cooking all the stuff I need for dinner, then once all the ingredients are together, I put it in a dish, cover it with cheese and jalapeño, then put it in the oven for half an hour, I make sure dad has a shower and puts something nice on, then I have a shower and put something nice on as well. With about fifteen minutes left of dinner to be ready, I text Miguel telling him to come over. Five minutes later there's a knock, I look at dad
"Be nice." He nods
"Yeah, yeah, I know." I open the door and smile at Miguel who is right in front of me
"Hey, thank you all for coming over!" Miguel gives me a hug
"Thanks for the invite." His mum then comes in
"Thank you again." She passes me a bottle of non-alcoholic Chardonnay
"I know you're too young to drink, though I'd bring something more child friendly." I chuckle lightly
"Thank you, Miss. Diaz." Then Yaya comes in
"huele delicioso aquí." I smile
"Gracias." They all come in and say hello to dad, once we're all sat down I grab everyone drinks, Miss. Diaz has wine, Yaya, me and Miguel have coke and dad, of course has a beer. Finally the food is finished, I go over and get it out of the oven, I put all the restaurant kind of bowls out and serve the dish, Miguel gets up and helps me give it out, we take the dishes and put them on the table, Dad smiles at me
"Looks amazing, kid." I smile, Yaya looks up
"Gracias." I nod slightly and sit down, I look at them
"This is sloppy Giuseppe tortiglioni melt, I've cooked it a handful of times and it has always been stunning, so I though I should cook. Oh, it is quite spicy as well." Miss. Diaz looks at me and smiles
