CHAPTER SIX

That morning I got up extra early , I mean I get up early everyday but today , today was going to be special I just know it. Skipping downstairs after brushing my teeth I decide I was going to cook breakfast for everyone just cause I was in a good mood. And so I began , blueberry waffles , eggs and sausage yummy yogurt with granola nuts and my personal favorite to top it all off , orange juice! By then it was 8:30 and I could already here people walking down the stairs.

"Good morning everybody !" I say setting the table. "How did you sleep?"

"Morning and fine thanks for asking." My mom says yawning.

Luke gives a look "what's up with Hazel?"

"What nothing! " I say getting a little defensive. "I can't cook breakfast for my family ?"

Luke shrugs and takes a seat at the table he immediately starts to dig in , I giggle and think to myself what a pig. "It's nice Haze ." My dad starts to say. "Thank you" he smiles.

"Hey , but just to let everyone know I am not responsible for anyone's dishes. " we all laugh.

When I was done eating I was so full, I just wanted to take a cat nap. So I did .
I woke up thinking wow that was refreshing. Getting up from my bed I check my phone, 3 messages from my mom and Dilan , just thinking of him makes me smile.

My mom texted : I'm at the store do you need anything ? Now that I think of it I do need a new pair earbuds and I could use another pair of converses . So I texted her that.

Dilan texted: good morning beautiful. Would you like to accompany me to the mall later this evening? Replying with I say : good afternoon *smiley face* and yes yes I would.

I sat my phone down and quickly got in the shower not washing my hair. I threw on my light blue ripped high waisted skinny jeans , brown moccasins, and short sleeve lavender crop top. The reason why I didn't wash my hair is because so my messy hair bun could look nice . I laugh at that thought being it so ironic . BING! Text message.

It was from Dilan : great ! How does 4:00 sound?
Excellent. I sent back.

then I realized what time it was it was 3. He's going to be coming soon! "Mom!" I yell . Really did I really just call for my mothers name ? She's not even here. I giggle . "Dad!" I yelled .

"Yes sweetheart?" I heard him say from Lukes room.

Walking down the hallway I hear video games going on . "I'm going to the mall with ....with Dilan , is that alright?" I ask.

"Sure ," he says. But before I could walk away happy he said "just as along as your brother goes with you"

Luke looks furious "WHAT?!"

"You heard what I said , it's about time you get out the house , plus I can't be playing video games with you all day, make some friends."

Luke and I both suck our teeth . Rolling my eyes I said "fine. Let's go he will be here soon."

Knock. Knock. I hear someone at the door, opening it I see Dilan with pink roses in his hand "for you" he says bowing.

As I take them I say thank you and then tell him the bad news "my brother has to come."

"It's fine he says this way him and I can get to know each other more. " smiling he says .

"Alright , Luke!! Let's go. " I call out for him .

Luke comes down looking like a hot mess shoes untied , messy hair. You could tell he did not want to come. Sighing I look over to Dilan giving him a look that says sorry that's just him , sorta look. He kisses my cheek and whispers in my ear " it's okay we'll have fun I promise ." I nod giving him a smile.

"Are we all ready to go?" He asks looking at me and then Luke.

"I guess so "I say walking out the door arm and arm with Dilan.

"Is this ..is this a red mustang !!!? " Luke's voice cracked a little then he gulped , you could just tell by his eyes he was excited. "Dude are you like rich or something?" Luke asks.

I never really gave attention to that so I didn't ask him anything relating to money.
"Well ," Dilan starts to say "yeah sorta. Is is that a problem ? Because I usually don't spring that on people when we first meet " he said sheepishly you could tell he was nervous. All I could think of I don't want him to think that I want to go out with him for his money . Quickly I say

"No not at all dil I don't want to date you because of your money I could careless about that, I like you for you. " and then kiss him.

He smiles and then starts to drive to the mall.
