Meeting The Family

Chapter 6

When I get out of the shower I get dressed,brush my teeth, and put on eyeliner. I straighten my hair and with that I walk out of the bathroom to grab my stuff. I grab my phone and charger. I also grab the speaker and the basketball. I throw all of it into my backpack and go to the living room to wait for Delilah.
   "Hey Three-Pointer!" Jackson says cheerily.
   "Hey Half-Court!" I say back.
   "Am I yours or are you mine?" He asks with a serious look plastered on his face.
  "Nobody's nobody's yet!" I say frustrated that he's so gorgeous and teasing.
  "Yet... I still have a chance, I'll take that!" He says with a big grin on his face. He walks up to me and gives me a hug big enough to swallow up the whole earth.
  Delilah walks out and we get going. We head to the store and buy 3 bags of Takis and 3 monsters. Then we walk to Mariah's house. When we reach her house we are greeted by her dad,Daniel,and her mom,Christy, cooking.
  "Hey girls!" Says Daniel.
  "Oh yes hey other daughters!" Says Christy.
   "She's downstairs." Daniel says nodding which makes us race down the stairs hobbling at each step taken.
   I beat Delilah downstairs which makes me do my victory dance. I Hit The Quan, then I Whip, after that I Nae Nae, Drop, Then I Double-Walk.
   I go and sit on the couch in Mariah's room. We talk for an hour or two about boring stuff and then Mariah looks at me and asks,"How's your love life?" I almost choke.
    I turn red as a tomato. I know Jackson said he asked for permission but I don't know if this is the right time to say it.
  "Did Jackson declare his undying love for you?" Mariah asks.
  "Oh my Lord Jesus!" Delilah screams. I give her a weird look.
  "What I wanted to be there for that!" She says.
  "You were,you were just to busy showering and jamming out to Twenty One Pilots in the bathroom." I reply back in a teasing tone because neither of them got to see Jackson tell me he likes me.
  "You should have recorded it!" Says Mariah almost screaming her head off while I laugh.
  "Wait you knew?" I ask.
   "Yeah!"
    "Well why didn't you tell me!"
    "We thought we'd let you figure it out yourself!"
    "Ughhh."
    "Don't hyperventilate, it's not our fault you're blind!"
   "Whatever."
   "Ok."
  "I told him we aren't together yet though." I say casually.
  "Why!" They shout in unison.
  "I want to see where things go with Landon." I say.
  "You've known Jackson longer,you've liked him longer and you just met Landon you don't know what he's like at all!" Mariah shouts.
   "Yeah and trust me he's a dick." Says Delilah. They have a point.
   "Fine, I'll go out with Jackson but if things don't work out it'll be awkward especially if I started to date your cousin a while afterwards." I say hesitantly.
  "It'll work out." Delilah says. Mariah nods her head.
  "We'll see!" I reply.
