Chapter 11: Celeste

I looked in the mirror for the last time, tonight had to be perfect, I was having dinner with Jake and his parent's tonight. They wanted to meet me because Jake's been spending so much time with me. We've hung out everyday together for the past week. He would come to my house early and then leave my house late at night. Steven usually kicked him out after midnight...I don't think Steven liked him all that much yet.

"Celeste, shouldn't you be heading out?" My mother asked knocking on my bathroom door gently. I gasped and brushed my short hair one more time before opening the bathroom door. Mama smiled at me,

"You look gorgeous sweetheart." She said looking at me from head to toe, I was wearing a pastel blue dress that cut off a little bit above my knees and I paired it with silver sandals.

"I love your makeup! You need to teach me to do it as perfect as you." Mama said kissing me on the forehead.

"Have fun." She said as I smiled widely and grabbed my small silver purse.

"Thanks...Love you." I said before going downstairs and going outside and into my mom's small red mini-cooper. She let me drive it occasionally, but I wish she would give it to me. I love mini-coopers.

I plugged in the restaurant into my GPS and then I turned on the car and headed out to my destination. I got there in thirty minutes and came up to the restaurant. Jake was standing outside wearing a nice button down blue dress shirt and black dress pants. His light brown hair was gelled back, away from his face and his eyes wandered the parking lot looking for me. I parked and got out of the car, as I approached the restaurant his eyes finally met mine. He smiled so quickly and so easily when he saw me.

"You look amazing." He said pulling me into his arms, he hugged me quickly and looked me over once again before blushing.

"You look handsome." I said and he blushed even brighter, I held back my smile. He looked so adorable in this moment,

"My parent's are inside but I wanted to come out and see you first because I want to kiss you. We won't be able to kiss all night because my parent's would be watching and that's awkward." He said and pouted his lips cutely. I smiled,

"Well kiss me then." I said and he quickly claimed my lips. He grazed his tongue against my bottom lip asking for entrance, I almost bust out laughing as he groaned when I pulled away.

"You said kiss, not make-out session." I pointed out and he frowned.

"Fine. Let's go in." He said pouting again before grabbing my hand and leading me inside of the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous,

"They're sitting over...there." He said finding his parent's quickly. I felt my heart leap into my throat as we got closer and closer to the table. I was still nervous to officially meet them, even though they were very friendly to me when I went to visit Blake.

"Celeste, So nice to see you again! You look lovely darling." Mrs. Ryan said with a big smile, she looked like perfection itself. Her long blonde hair was perfectly curled and her makeup was done with perfection. She was wearing a short white dress that made her tan skin pop. Jake's father was dressed similarly to Jake and he had his brown hair spiked up at the front. He looked really handsome, Jake would probably look like him at that age.

"Celeste, you look beautiful honey. Please sit." Mr. Ryan said offering me a dimpled smile, Jake led me around the table and we sat across from his parents.

"So Celeste, why do you like my son?" Mrs. Ryan asked out of the blue, I looked at her quickly and if I was pale I would've been as red as a tomato.

"I like him because of everything...All his qualities are perfect to me." I whispered and Jake squeezed my hand and offered me a smile. I looked back up and his mom smiled. "That's what I was hoping you'd say. Now are we ready to order?" His mom said offering a small smile as she looked down at her menu.

After an amazing dinner, it had to end, Jake and I were walking towards my car and his parents were waiting for him by the front of the restaurant. "That was so much fun! You're dad's hilarious. I see where you get most of your personality from." I said with a wide smile on my face. Jake smiled also before wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Yeah we should do it again, my parents really like you." He said as we got to my car.

"Oh we're already here." He said as a matter-o-factly, I nodded before turning and wrapping my arms around him. He returned the hug and he pulled back to still be able to see my face. "Good night." I whispered, looking into his eyes, his light green eyes held something in them that I had never seen before. "Good night." He whispered, a few inches from my lips. He gently placed his lips against mine and our mouths moved together in unison as we kissed for a while. We were cut off by my phone buzzing in my purse, I groaned before answering it, "Hello?" I answered and gasped when Jake started kissing my neck. He found this spot against my neck that sent shivers down my spine. I almost moaned out loud, "Yeah...It just ended, i'm leaving right now. Love you." I said and Jake looked at me from my neck as I hung up.

"My mom...She was just checking in." I said and he didn't say anything but he just kept looking at me, that strange look in his eyes again. "What?" I asked and he looked away, "Nothing...Well goodnight." He said quickly before pulling away from me all together and heading back to his parents.

That was weird...ever since we've been hanging out more often, he's been looking at me with a different look in his eyes. Jake is my first boyfriend, and I had zero experience in anything before him. I hope that the look he had in his wasn't a bad thing.

I got home in an hour due to how bad traffic was on the way home. Steven was sitting on the porch probably waiting for me to get home. He sat on the little bench swing up and waited for me to get near him. "How was it? Did they like you?" He bombarded and I nodded.

"It was really fun...they really liked me. Can I ask you something?" I asked sitting down next to him and he nodded as we wrapped his arms around me and I cuddled up against him. Steven and I had always been close even though he was adopted.

"What is it?" He asked and I sighed, "Jake's been looking at me differently lately, I can't tell if it's good or bad. When we're alone and just looking at each other, he looks at me very strangely and then he gets all awkward and weird." I said and Steven laughed, "He loves you. Guys only get weird and nervous like that when they have that feeling, he probably doesn't know how to express it." Steven said knowingly.

"Love?" I asked and smiled as a wave of feelings came over me. Why couldn't I tell that that's what was in his eyes? Maybe that's what this feeling was, whenever I was around him I always felt gift and my heart fluttered and I wanted to kiss him all day and just being around him put me at ease.

"Yep...Love, scary isn't it? My baby sister in love? I guess I thought you'd be innocent forever." He said making me laugh, "Yeah..." I said yawning and we just sat there in silence. Next thing I knew I fell asleep against Steven while thinking about Jake.
