"Hey Lizzy." He calls out too excited may I add.
"Hi Josh, how are you?" I asked out of pure curtsey, I didn't really care. Yes he was good looking but his personality was trash, I hope that was just highschool.
"I'm good..." he paused for minute.
"Lizzy I'm so sorry." My brows shot up at this.
"Why are you apologizing Josh?"
"I know how I was back in school and I'm embarrassed. I let popularity define my character but really that's not who I am," he sounded so sincere I felt slightly bad for him.
"It's okay Josh we are cool."
"Thank you Lizzy, umm...can I ask you something?"
"Sure what's up?"
"Will you go on a date with me?" I froze startled. That was unexpected then I thought better of it, I had nothing to lose.
"Sure, when?"
"Really? Thank you so much!" He squeaks and I laughed, this josh was nice. "On Monday if you like?"
"Ofcourse text me the plans."
"Okay Lizzy? Umm thank you".
"It's no problem Josh I want to see where this takes us."
"Me too queen Elizabeth me too," he jokes, cheesy but okay, I chuckled.
Unknowingly I spent hours talking to Josh and by the time he hung up it was 10 minutes to 7. He made me laugh and I can admit I might have developed a small harmless crush. Sighing.
"Time to dance to the music I sang, gosh I'm such a poet." I laughed heading to my bathroom. Getting dressed in a blue sleeveless bodice accompanied by my jeans short, I left my long black hair down. While running a comb through it to avoid it tangling I heard the door bell ring.
"It's time." I smirked at my reflection in the mirror. Standing straight I slipped on my blue flats, normally I won't be playing dress up but we had guests, very important guest. I hastily left my room, going downstairs and I caught sight of Drake's brown locks first making me take a deep breath. The sight of him still very much affected me and I felt my hand itch to grab his locks like I used to when we made out. Calm yourself.
"Hi Christine." I called walking towards her for a quick hug.
"Hey Lizzy, thanks for the invite."
"Don't be silly" I fake laugh. "Hey Drake right?" I stretched out my hand for a handshake. He took it smirking.
"Yes love." he whispers. What a disgusting man, I pulled my hand away.
"Come, the dinning is this way." I walked ahead. Now that I thought about it I didn't know who let them in. As if hearing my thoughts Christine spoke up.
"Ethan has grown taller than I remember." She smiles fondly. She last saw him four years ago at her parents dinner party which we were invited to.
"He has." I replied with a small smile of my own. "Please do seat I will go get mom." I smile faking an English accent before heading to the kitchen.
"Wow!" I gasps as the heavenly aromas invaded my nostrils.
"Liz." Mom smiles taking the dessert out of the oven.
"Mom our guests are here?"
"I will be out in a minute but you know we can't start dinner without your father."
"Yes mom." I nodded before leaving again. I sat across Drake who in turn sat beside Christine. "So Chrissy what do you plan to study?"
"Education, I love knowledge and I plan to be a teacher some day" she smiles,"that's lovely,what about you Drake?" "Engineering" he shrugs, "well that's okay I guess," "Lizzy,I saw a post about you taking a break?" " Yes,I took a year off to gather myself but hopefully next year I will be on the right track". "That's okay, there is no pressure we are still young," "you're right but I'm sure I want to study nursing". Mom graced us with her presence just then,"Ms Morgan" Christine stood up to give her a hug,drake followed behind,"don't be silly child,call me Trisha" mom smiles yet to notice drake. "Trisha,you look not a day pass 20" chris flatters her making her blush slightly,oh mom I rolled my eyes. "Drake!" mom squeaks smile widening,"son how have you being?" she pushed Chris aside slightly to give him a hug. Chris turns to me confused and I shrug giving her the' I don't know what the fuck is going on' face. "It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am" he pecks her cheeks,his trying too hard to belong. Mom waves him off before going back to the kitchen,"you know Ms Morgan?" Chris questions. Drake pales slightly before composing himself. "Yes, she frequents my mom's bakery," I have to give it to him that was smooth but he screwed up, everyone knows my mom doesn't buy pastries she bakes them. Chris raised a suspicious brow but doesn't comment, she's onto him only a matter of time. I indulged Christine in some friendly banter until the door bell rang,"that must be my father,excuse me" I courtesy before walking away from the dinning,I ran into Ethan on the way. "To the dinning" I point, he rolls his eyes but heads that way,I breath out before unlocking the door. "Princess" dad placed a loving kiss on my forehead,"dad welcome" I grin taking his bag. "I will quickly drop this off" I smiled,before jogging upstairs to their room, placing his bag on the bed before heading down,I don't want to miss the drama. I was met with a decent dinning room,dad was engaging Christine in a conversation and mom was serving dinner,Ethan on the other hand was glaring at Drake,his the only one that knows we broke up. I joined mom in serving dinner and we kept the conversation light but that could only last for so long. "Drake son where do you know Christine from?" Dad asked,"his my boyfriend sir" Chris smiles, giving Drake a side hug. Dad raised his brows turning to face me,his probably onto me. Drake looked like he was about to pass out and it's only just beginning, "Christine,child Drake is my Lizzy's boyfriend" mom says. "What?" Christine asks not comprehending,"his my ex I broke up with him 3weeks ago because he cheated on me,not with you ofcourse". Christine pushed her chair out shocked,"that's not possible we have being dating for a year now," my eyes widen. "You have being cheating on me for that long!" I yell feeling my eyes water,"you're unbelievable!" I run away. My room door came into view, pushing it open I slammed it behind me sliding to the ground. All those times he said he loved me it was a joke,he was double dating. No!!!!!arghhh I screamed my eyes flowing like a river, "honey" mom calls from the other side,"leave me alone mom" I sobbed,covering my face with my hands. "Lizzy you are stronger than this," "leave! Me! Alone!" I yell standing up and jumping on my bed. I covered my face with a pillow, letting the tears flow. This can't be happening,he loves me? Maybe Christine lied, yes that must be it. Oh god who I'm I kidding I fell in love with a phony.
♥️♥️♥️♥️Ummm men!!!
