I look at myself in the mirror and smooth my dress down. I have my date with Ryan today and he should be here in 15 minutes. I chose a green and black sundress with black pumps with a bow. My hair is braided to the side and I have light make up on. I guess I'm ready. I take the clutch with my phone in it and walk downstairs.
Tomorrow Aunt Laura and Uncle Lucas should be back from their vacation. Thank God. Mike is still staying for two months. I'm actually kind of glad. We didn't spend much time together.
I walk into the living room and see my favorite Gordon watching Spongebob.
"Hey Gav is this your favorite show?" I sit on the couch next to him.
"Yeah. I like Patrick." He pointed to the pink starfish on the TV screen.
I laughed. "Me too buddy."
"Well don't you look dolled up." Mike remarks and sits down on the other side of Gavin.
"I know right?" I smirk.
"Mike I-" Garrett stops and looks at me. "Yo Alyssa you look gorgeous."
"Garrett. Back off." Mike warned.
"Sorry." He put his hands up and continued. "Mike I think we should go out tonight. There's this party my old pals are throwing."
Mike shrugged. "Yeah. Sounds cool." He got up and followed Garrett to their rooms.
Gabe walks in right after they walk out. He's wearing a blue polo and khaki shorts.
"Where are you going?" We ask each other at the same time.
"You first." I fold my arms over my chest.
"I have a date." Gabe informs me.
"With who?"
"None of your business."
"Fine." I scoff.
"Now you." Gabe sits on the couch next to me.
"I have a date."
"With who?"
I decide I might as well tell him. I have nothing to hide.
"Ryan."
Gabe's eyes widen. "No Alyssa. Not good. We already discussed him."
"Look I already accepted his offer a long time ago. No need to break it off." I shrug.
The doorbell rings and I walk over to it. It just so happens to be Ryan. I open the door and smile.
"You look amazing." Ryan smiles back at me.
"As do you." I gesture to him. He has on a blue flannel and black shorts.
"Sup." Gabe appears beside me.
"Oh hey Gordon." Ryan nods to him.
"You taking her out?" Gabe continues.
"Yeah. Are you taking Peyton out?" Ryan asks.
"Peyton as in the cheerleader?" I bump into the conversation.
"Yeah." Gabe nods.
"Well we should get going." I pull Ryan out of the doorway and close the door.
"Wow you really do live with them." Ryan remarks while we walk to his jeep.
"What do you mean? That's what I said." I'm confused.
"Well everyone just thought it was a rumor." He shrugs and opens my door for me.
"Well thank you." I get into the passenger side and Ryan runs around to the driver side and starts up his car.
