Chapter 26: Good Impression

*Sam's P.O.V*

It's finally the day.

The day where Eli would be coming over for dinner and most likely when my dad and brother would find out that I'm with Eli.

For awhile, Anthony had thought that I would be with Miguel but I kept telling him that Miguel and I are just friends.

He wouldn't believe me but now he would because Eli will be at our house and eating dinner with us.

"Please remember that we're having a guest over for dinner." I heard my mom tell my dad as they were making dinner.

They were making some baked chicken with some mashed potatoes and some steamed vegetables.

"Who's coming over?" My dad questioned.

"Sam's boyfriend." My mom said.

My dad looked at me. "You're back with Miguel?"

Does everyone in my family think I'm back with Miguel? Apparently, yes.

"No." I shook my head. "Miguel and I are just friends. I'm actually with Hawk now."

I said Hawk and not Eli because I'm not sure if my dad will know who Eli is if I said his actual name.

"Hawk?" My dad raised an eyebrow.

"Yes and I would love it if you're nice to him."

"I can be nice." He put his hands up.

After his sentence, I remembered how harsh my dad was on Eli back then. Before Eli had the sudden idea to build the sparring deck. I defended Eli that day even though that was before he told me he wanted distance.

But now we're together.

And since the sparring deck has been built, we all have been working as a team and getting along.

It's going great for the most part.

"When is Hawk supposed to come over?" My dad asked me as he was cutting up some vegetables.

"In an hour." I said as I looked at my phone.

And I still needed to get all dressed up. Well, not too dressed up. But dress in something nice and presentable.

"And with him arriving in an hour.." I started to say, "I have to finish getting ready."

I took a shower earlier so that I would have plenty of time later to get myself presentable. I wanna be able to look nice in front of Eli even though he already seen me in sweatpants.

When I went to my room, I picked out these black jeans that I absolutely love. Then I picked out this light pink sweater that will pair nicely with the jeans.

For my hair, I brushed through it before pinning it back a little bit so that my hair wasn't in my face.

Then I put on shoes to complete the look.

I did a quick turn when I looked in the mirror before I went back downstairs. When I got there, Anthony was there as well.

"You know this is just dinner, right?" He asked once he saw my outfit.

"You know we're having company over, right?" I asked him as I took a look at his outfit.

He didn't even try. He had sweatpants and a hoodie on, making it seem like he just took a nap.

Which taking a nap isn't a bad thing but it would've been great if he made himself look nice.

"It's your new boyfriend." My brother scoffed, "I don't need to dress up to impress him."
