The Sweetest Thing (gxg)

Part 11

When I told Olivia about what happened with Vivienne and I in the dressing room the next day her eyes got wider and wider with each sentence.

"Oh my god." Olivia said, and then she stopped talking once Amanda and Valentina at at the table. We were at lunch, and Amanda and Valentina had grabbed food from the cafeteria.

"What are you saying 'oh my god' about?" Amanda asked.

Olivia glanced at me and I said, "My mom caught my brother having sex with a girl in his room yesterday."

That wasn't a lie. That did happen this past week with Grayson and Stephanie.

"Oh fuck, that's embarrassing." Valentina said, "Was your mom cool about it?"

"She seemed to be more embarrassed than my brother." I said, "Thankfully it was her and not my dad."

We got on another topic, and Olivia gave me a knowing smile.

I wonder when I'll feel comfortable enough to tell Amanda and Valentina?

Vivienne's event was on Saturday- and she told me that afterwards, her parents were going to be staying in a hotel room, as her mother had a speech the next morning to give at a brunch.

She texted me that she was going to have the house to herself. And she asked me to come over.

Just like she had asked me to send her pictures of myself before the sweetheart dance, I asked the same of her before her event.

"What has you smiling at your phone?"

I was sitting in the living room at my dads, texting Vivienne, when he walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, dad." I said, putting my phone down, "Just a funny TikTok."

"Man, kids these days do not stop watching those." my dad said, "Some of the interns at my work are on it all during lunch. They keep asking me to be in one."

I laughed and said, "Hey, maybe you should be."

He shook his head and chuckled, "No thank you. Are you up to anything tonight, Char?"

"Actually, yes. I'm going to a friends house. Some of my other friends will be there. She's new at school. Her name is Vivienne." I said.

I figured a little white lie wouldn't hurt.

"Where does she live?" my dad asked me.

"Rose Hills."

I could dad by the look on my dads face that he approved, "Okay. Just be back before 1 AM."

"I will be." I nodded.

"Thanks." my dad said, "Nicole and I are going out to dinner with some friends. It's on this cruise in Philadelphia. Apparently the seafood is amazing."

"Have fun." I said, "That sounds awesome."

My dad stood around in the kitchen and asked me some more questions about school, and college apps. After a little while, he went downstairs to the basement gym to workout.

That's when I saw I had a text from Vivienne. When I opened the picture, I practically melted.

She looked beautiful.

Vivienne's hair was perfectly curled, and her makeup was smoky, and had some glitter. She sent me a selfie, so I could see the sweetheart neckline of her dress. She was wearing a delicate necklace.

I texted her back, "You look stunning. You'll be the prettiest girl in the room."

She texted me back that she couldn't wait to see me.
