As soon as my shift was over I pulled out my phone and texted this mystery boy.

Addison is Hashtag Amazeballs:
Welcome.
I went downstairs to talk to my mom, brother, and sister. They were all in the living room watching SpongeBob SquarePants (typical Belle family).
"Guys I have something to tell you, but PLEASE don't freak out." I say sitting in one of our recliners.
"Hurry up! This is my favorite episode!" Josh yells.
"There is a guy coming over for dinner to meet you." I say blushing.
"WHAT!? SINCE WHEN!?" Nicole screamed.
"I thought I said NOT to freak out! And like five minutes ago." I say smiling like an idiot.
"Well then I had better start cooking." My mom said.
"Okay. I have got to go get ready. Gracie? Help?" I ask.
"YASS!" She yells getting up from the couch.
We run up the stairs to my room and start to inspect my closet for something perfect to wear.
"How about this?"she says pulling out an adorable outfit. (Above)
"Perfect." I say smiling.
I quickly change and sit down at my vanity. Gracie starts doing my hair into a bow and curls the rest. After she is done with the final curl I put on a little eyeliner and mascara with baby pink lip stick. I put on my heels and I walk downstairs at 5:50. I help Gracie set the table (she insisted on staying). Exactly at 6:00 I hear the doorbell.
"I'LL GET IT!" I yell loudly making sure that none of my crazy family members get the door.
I open the door and I see Hunter standing the doorway wearing a white T-Shirt with a leather jacket, black jeans and the turquoise vans that he bought earlier today.
"Hi." I say shyly.
"Hey. You look gorgeous." He says looking me up and down.
"Thank you. Come on in." I say moving out of the doorway so he could make his way inside.
"Nice place." He says.
He's not wrong. We have a four story house. The kitchen, dining room, and living room is on the main floor. My bedroom and the three guest bedrooms are on the second floor, and the third floor is my moms, Nicole's, and Josh's bedrooms. And the basement has a pool table, a home movie theatre with a popcorn and pop machine, and an hockey table. And we have an in ground pool in our backyard.
I led him into the dining room where everyone was standing around the table like well behaved zoo animals.
"Hunter, this is Nicole, Josh, Gracie, and my mom Kirsty. And guys, this is Hunter." I say.
We all went to our places at the table and grabbed what we wanted from the food sprawled out in front of us. There was country fried chicken, buttered, smooth mashed potatoes, and green beans spiced with salt and pepper. My mom went around and poured sweet tea in all of our glasses.
"I have an apple pie in the oven baking and vanilla ice cream in the freezer for apple pie ala mode." She says.
"It all looks delicious." Hunter says smiling at my mom.
He is punctual, polite, and handsome. He is perfect. What am I saying? I just met the guy today.
We all started eating and it was delicious. The fried chicken was tender and juicy on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The mashed potatoes were smooth, creamy, and buttery, while the green beans were seasoned to perfection. Having a professional cook as a mom has its perks. As soon as the apple pie came out of the oven, my mom put it on the table. Steam was rising off of it and the scent filled the room quickly. She came back with plates and the ice cream and we ate more and more. I have no idea how we ate it all.
After dinner we all migrated to the living room to talk. Me and Hunter were on the love seat, Gracie was sitting in the recliner, and my mom and siblings were all sitting on the couch.
"So tell us a little about yourself, Hunter." My mom says.
"Okay. Where do I begin. I live with my dad. My mom died when I was seven from brain cancer. I have a little sister named Emma. I have never been out of the country, but I have been to every state in the U.S. I am 16 going to be 17 this year. And my full name is Hunter Edward James." Hunter says looking upset when he was talking about his mom.
"I'm sorry about your mom." I say grabbing his hand intertwining our fingers.
"Thanks." He says looking down at our hands.
I pulled him into a hug and we were there for a while until Gracie put her hands in between us and pushed us apart.
"There will be none of that!" She says looking at Hunter and then me, "at least not on my watch." She then wiggled herself in between us and started talking. She is annoying sometimes, but I still love her.
