Old Love Dies Hard (spinoff of life happens)

Chapter VIII - Dinner With The Rogers

Happy birthday to me! The amazing person who has brought you this story! 😂😂

-----------------
I curl the last strand of hair into place and wince as my finger touches the hot metal.

Oh my god!
Do I look okay?
I mean is my hair okay?
Is my outfit okay?
I don't look like an alien, do I?

Yes but why is that bad?
Don't you remember the last time you thought of being an alien?

Good point.

Anyway, I should get back to being a nervous wreck

Why?
Because I'm leaving for dinner with Mason's family!

I'm wearing a floral skirt with a pink shirt tucked in it and have curled my hair.
I am wearing minimum accessories. Just a bracelet.

My grandmother and aunt insist that I look beautiful but being the degrading person that I am (about myself) I think I don't look beautiful.

I, for one, honestly don't understand why it is so important for me to impress Mason's family.

I mean he is just a friend. 
Okay, maybe I do find him attractive but it isn't like we're boyfriend and girlfriend

Plus I have met Christina and Brie before.
Ugghhh.

"You know, you should come down before you kill yourself with your overthinking" my aunt enters my room

"Yeah. You're probably right" I nod in agreement and leave my room

-----------------

I take deep breaths to calm my heart and step on their porch.

I fix my hair and ring the door bell.
When nobody answers, I turn the doorknob and to my surprise, the door is open

I enter their house and look around in awe.
It isn't very big but it is beautiful and has been designed very tastefully.

To my right is a staircase leading towards what I assume are everyone's bedrooms because I can hear noises.

To my far left is a little kitchen and just a little far in front of me, is the living room.
Wow.

Just then I feel something fluffy on my leg and when I see what it is I jump back and scream at the top of my lungs, forgetting that I am not at my house.

"Comet come back here" I hear Mason run down the stairs and save me from the dog.

They have named their dog after comet from full house?
Totally something I would do.
If I ever have a dog because it is so cute but...scary.

"Hey comet" Mason pets the dog

"This is Ame- Amna my friend and she's scared of you so stay away from her tonight" he says his voice laced with amusement and he smirks.
I roll my eyes.
He then stands up.

"Welcome to the Rogers household, my lady" he bows

"Very old English, aren't we?"  I curtsy, grinning.

He looks really...handsome.
He is wearing a casual outfit, and I can't help but admire his face.

Wait what?
That's not even a proper compliment!

Just then I hear Brie's voice, she is shrieking with happiness and practically skipping down the stairs.

She hugs my legs as she reaches the last step.
