"Hey mom?" I knock on my parents door lightly. I open the door slowly and pop my head in.

"Yes hunny?" I see her pop her head out of the bathroom putting on an earring. I walk further into the room to the bathroom.

"I was wondering if i could go out tonight? I'm going to Emily's house for a little party." I walk into the bathroom and watch as she puts on her make up, which is just a bit of lip stick and double winged eyeliner.

"What time will you be back?" She puts on her mascara.

"Uh i was actually thinking i could sleep over. I would text you when im going to sleep and when i wake up." She finishes her mascara and looks at my through the mirror. She taps her finger finger on the counter thinking. After a few seconds go by and nods.

"Text me when you get there alright? But leave after your father and i go." I nod and smile at her.

"Okay, where are you guys going anyways?" I ask and sit on their bed when she walks out and goes to the closet.

"We are going to a dinner. There are some people your father has to talk to." I nod. She comes out and sits on the bed.

"You look beautiful mother." She smile at me.

"Thank you hunny. You dont think im wearing too much make up?"

"Nope. you have the right amount. It matches with your dress." I look down at the heels shes holding as she puts them on. I gasp at her. "Mother!"

"What?" She looks at me confused.

"Those are my heels! I was looking for them the other day." She smiles at me.

"They look better on me anyways." I roll my eyes smiling at her. It's true though. Those heels have always looked better on her. They go with her skin tone. "Alright hunny, come on lets go look for your father." I stand and pull her up with me. We walk downstairs and she calls out to him.

"In the kitchen!" He yells out. We go into the kitchen and i see him wearing a dark blue suit with a black button up shirt under. His hair is put back in its natural way as if he has been running his hands through it. He looks at mother and he freezes taking in her beauty. I love the way they look at each other. Its the look of utter love like its the first time they are seeing one another. They gape at one and just take each other's appearance in.

"Mayra.. You look beautiful." My dad takes two steps and he's in front of her holding her waist. She smiles up at him placing her hands on his arms.

"You're not too bad yourself hot stuff." She giggles lightly.

"You ready to go?" Father asks. Mother nods and grabs her phone and purse from the counter.

"Oh and Marlene is spending the night at Emily's house tonight."

"Alright. Call me when you get there, when you go to sleep, and when you wake up. Understand?" I nod.

"Yes father."

"Good. Call me when you want to get picked up and i'll send someone to go get you." I nod again. He nods and grabs mother's hand. "Time to go before we're late. Bye Hun." They kiss my head and then leave. I stand by the door and wave as they drive off. I go up to my room after turning the lights off and locking the doors. I go to my closet and look through my dresses. I take out a black thin thigh high dress with lace sleeves and chest. I lay it out on the bed and go to my drawers. I take out black thigh high socks and matching black lace bra and underwear dropping them on the bed with the rest of my clothes. Plugging my phone into the speaker and charger, i turn my music on and Lana Del Rey Video Games on. I smiles then go into the bathroom to shower.
