After my grandma picked us up from the park she drove us back to her house. I was getting the girls tucked in when my grandma asked me a question. "So how come you were so eager to get here? We both know we see each other too much for you to miss me. So whats going on?" I looked around the room to see if an answer would pop in my head. I couldn't tell her about my mom because she would flip and tell my dad.
I nervously ran my fingers through my hair and replied with, "My mom had to go to work tonight and our babysitter didn't show up. She was running late so she told me to call you." I said that trying to be as believable as I could. My grandma knows when someone is lying so its really hard to get things by her. She nodded her head hesitantly not knowing if what I said was true or not, but finally just let it slide.
"Okay. You should get to bed. I heard you have a big day tomorrow." my eyes widened. I totally forgot about the wedding. She's gonna have to drop me off early in order for me to be ready by 10 o'clock. I climbed under the blanket on the couch and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning I woke up with enthusiasm. Today is the day I get to see Ryan after the weekend he spent with his family. I smiled and ran into my grandma's room to wake her up. "Wake up, Yaya. It's 7:30 we have to go." I said shaking her slightly. She sat up and looked around her room. Then she looked at me.
"Okay let's go. Girls wake up. I have to take you back to your house. Your sister has to get ready for her date." I lightly smacked her arm knowing that the girls weren't supposed to know that I was in any possible way, dating Ryan. She looked at me with a confused expression. "What?" she whispered. I shook my head with wide eyes and nodded my head in the direction of the girls indicating that they can't know that. She furrowed her eyebrows then shook it off. We piled into the car and drove back to my house.
We got to the house and fortunately Dave and my mom were nowhere to be seen. I smiled in excitement as I ran upstairs to take a shower. Once I got out of the shower I blew dried my hair and curled the ends. I pinned the sides of my hair with a bow and then started on my make up. I wanted my make up not to be too extravagant so I just did warm colors. After that I applied lip gloss and ran to my room. I painted my nails blue and waited for them to dry. Once I was finished with that, I slid on my dress and my heels. Next, I hurriedly, but carefully, trotted down the stairs making sure not to fall and break my ankle.
I got down stairs and looked in the mirror at my outcome and was very pleased to say that I looked really good. I looked at the clock and saw I had 10 minutes to spare. I sat down on the couch and watched a little bit of TV. I suddenly got really nervous. 'What if his family doesn't like me? Or something bad happens at the wedding? Or-
Just then the doorbell rang cutting me out of my thoughts. I sprang up and practically ran to the door. As I was opening the door I saw a very handsome teenage boy. It was Ryan. He was dusting off his shirt. He looked up at me and his jaw dropped. I walked closer and pushed his jaw closed. He shook out of his trance and said, "Wow you look... Amazing." he looked like he was in absolute awe.
"Not as amazing as you look." I said using my hands to exhibit his outfit.
"No seriously. You look beautiful."
"Thank you." I leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
"I haven't seen you for a week and that's all I get?" he asked pouting his lip.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said teasingly.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." he responded in a low seductive tone raising his eyebrows.
I shook my head and said, "Why don't you show me what you mean." he then pulled me close in a fast motion and leaned down and pecked my lips twice. Then came back for more of a passionate kiss. Just then there was a car honk. In my head, I thought 'please don't be my mom'. I turned my head and saw an older guy like in his early 20's or late teens.
