Emily pov
Mom!!! What the hell do I wear!!!! Why did you say I'd go??? I don't wanna mom!'' I flung myself on my bed in a pile of all the clothes that used to be semi organized in my suitcases.
"Emily, this is ridiculous. It's the middle of summer. You wear your cute little jean shorts and a shirt that might be a size too small. You wear shoes that are easy to take off. No make up. It'll smear when you sweat. You go be irresponsible. Just a little. Go have fun and act your age. Just Make sure you're safe if things get... too carried away"
I flip over and sit up "mother!!!" I throw a shirt at her and hide my face in humiliation "I can't believe you'd say that! Are you trying to get me hooked up with someone? What the hell?"
She throws a cute little gray sequin tank top and a pair of faded blue shorts at me.
"Put those on and stop acting like I don't know how kids happen. Please, you deserve a fun night. You've had so much on your mind. So much stress. Elijah is a good guy. If nothing happens then the worst that happens is you had a good time. Now!" She smacks my thigh "ow" "now get up, go flirt , have fun and for God sake don't stress so much' She stands up, shuts the door behind her and I groan and flop back down on the bed then sigh and grab the outfit she picked. Grudgingly I admit it looks good on me. My butt is my 'best' feature. My boobs are small but with the help of my push up bra I have some nice cleavage. The tank sits right on top of my shorts so any time I move or bend a flash if skin shows. My shorts fully covered my butt and stopped mid thigh. So not sluttish but... 'mom do I look... desperate?" I yell at them I hear giggles and a flash of brown messy hair "mom what's desperate mean?" I feel the color drain from my face "MOM I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!!!"
"Sophia darling go get yourself a pop tart from the cupboard Nana is gonna help your momma get ready to go to her friend's house okay"
"But what's desperate means Nana mom asked if she looked at it so you have to tell her the truth."
"Yes baby telling the truth is super important. Desperate is when someone wants something really bad. And no momma isn't desperate, she's pretty and silly. Now go get your snack"
"Moms' not desperate! I'm getting the Chocolate Pop tart!" And she's gone again. I stare at my mom agast "I'm gonna ruin that poor child momma what do I do!"
"You're not gonna ruin her c'mon and you've only got like 10 minutes until Elijah gets here. So get your shoes on and get downstairs."
Pulling on some simple gray flats and putting my hair in a high ponytail I threw on some lip gloss and huff. "Welp this is what we got." deep breath "whoo okay go eat some food maybe a beer and just try to have fun. Fun yeah I can do that. It's only been 5 years since ive had any type of time to myself but yeah sure I got this. Bunch of people I don't know and at least one really good looking guy. God he was cute! Ok focus Em you got this it's just a night out. That's all."
And then - knock knock knock. I felt my stomach drop into my ass. The dog barked and Sophia hollered " momma your friend is here!"
"Woo okay here we go Em you got this lets go." and I turned from the mirror and headed to the front door.
Sophia practically body slams into me running down the hall. ''Momma , your friend is here in his car." I scoop her up and spin her around. "Yes mommys friend is here so you are gonna be good for nana. Eat your dinner and only one dessert do you hear me. You might be asleep when momma gets home so give me big snuggles then i gotta go okay"
We wiggle our noses together and I kiss her forehead and set her back on the floor. Turning to the door I saw mom had let Elijah in and there he was just standing there staring at me with a smile on his face and intense eyes trailing over my body making me feel hot... everywhere. I blushed.
"Thanks Mrs Rhonda. Momma says hi and that next time you come to the diner she has something new for you to try."
"Thanks Eli, your mommas great. I'll have to swing by in the next few days and see her. You guys have fun tonight okay."
The whole time he's still staring at me and I can't seem to look away either. Mom clears her throat and we both turn to look at her
" you guys have fun. Soph let's go watch movies and have some popcorn what do ya say"
"Bye mommy! Be silly!"
"Bye baby have fun" and she runs to the living room and jumps on the couch already distracted. I chuckle and turn to Elijah "well i guess im ready" i blush
"You look great. C'mon everyone is at my place and if i leave them there too long by themselves i may not have a house to go back too." he puts his hand on the small of my back as we head out the door and i'm acutely aware of his pinky touching my bare skin right above my shorts.
"Sounds like real animals. Cmon lets so save your house"
"You have no idea" he mutters as he opens the door of his jeep for me and I hop in.
The drive only takes a few minutes and soon we pull into a well kept 2 story home with a green yard... and lots of cars out front.
"They never leave me a place to park." He pulls up 2 houses down and parks out front.
"Wont these guys to get upset when you're in front of their place?"
"Not at all, they're probably already 3 beers deep in my place. We're all pretty close around here.
He opens my door for me.. Again. and I walked up the sidewalk back to his house.
"Eli! Took your time didn't ya? Have to pull over a few times or did you drive 'distracted'?" yells a beefy man making his way out to meet us
"Ah you're just jealous I got a pretty woman with me! Are you still paying for your dates?" he elbows me while he jokes good naturedly and I laugh, yeah I'll fit right in around here I hope.
"Man one time! And you never let me live it down. How ya doin man? Have a good run this week? No troubles? They pull each other into a hand shake turned slap on the back hug. Eli clears his throat
"Yeah, the run was alright. Might have to tighten up security in a few places but nothing urgent now. Emily this is Jason jason- emily' i reach my hand out and I notice Jason give a quick look between me and Eli then back to me before giving me the world's quickest hand shake.
"Hiya Emily heard you're Rhonda's kid. Welcome to town. Let us know if you ever need anything. We'd be happy to do what we can."
'Well thanks so far i've got things pretty much wrapped up i just gotta finish up and get moved in. plus if you're too busy buying dates you may not have time to help..." i joke and they both stare at me then burst out laughing
"Yeah you're gonna be great to have around." jason chuckled
