Call me America

Kile stops in front of my house and I get out "did you want to come inside for a bit?"

"You sure"

I roll my eyes "no Kile I asked you because I don't want you to come in" I laugh and open his door "come on, mom would love to see you"

Kile laughs "okay then"

I open the door "mom! I'm home"

"Hi honey! Did you have fun at your sleepover?" She yells from the kitchen

"Crap" I whisper to Kile "I told mom I slept over at a friends house"

Kile laughs "Josie"

I smile at him and we go into the kitchen "yeah mom it was fun. Kile dropped me home"

My mom washes her hands and hugs Kile "how's your mom?"

Knowing what I do now, I can see Kile flinch slightly at the question. "She's good, tired"

Mom smiles "I should go see her at some point. Oh I know, why don't you all come over for dinner tomorrow night?"

She looks at Kile hopefully "that would be great thank you Mrs Schreave"

Mom laughs "I told you Kile, call me America"

Kile smiles and then turns to me "I'll pick you up at 6" he kisses me on the cheek and leaves

I turn to mom "so... You and Kile huh?" She asks

I blush "uhm yeah we're having dinner tonight before the party"

Mom smiles and I know she's happy about this.

"I'm going to take a nap" I say walking upstairs.

"Oh Eadlyn!?" Mom yells up the stairs

"Yeah?"

"Have you heard from Ahren?" She asks

"No sorry" I say with a frown

Ahren is my twin, he's at boarding school in France for an exchange program. Mom misses him a lot and he never talks to us unless she calls him.

"Eadlyn wake up" dad shakes me awake

"What time is it?"

"5:30"

"Crap" I say flinging off my covers and running into the bathroom.

I shower quickly and throw on a tight long sleeved black dress and reaches my mid shin. I grab a pair of black strappy heels and put on some light makeup and a red lip. My hair is in waves around my shoulder and I find some diamond stud earrings.

"Eadlyn! Kiles here!"

I grab a small red purse and check in the mirror" I sigh and hope this is okay.

I stand at the top of the stairs and give myslef a pep talk "you're Eadlyn Schreave, you can do a dinner and party no problem"

Kile POV

I ring the doorbell and take a deep breath. Mrs Schreave, America, opens the door and I smile. "Is Eadlyn ready?"

America smiles at me "you look lovely darling" she walks to the bottom of the spiral stairs "Eadlyn! Kiles here!"

"Thanks" I say

I thought I could handle anything. Until Eadlyn walked down those steps and practically stopped my heart. She laughs at my reaction and my heart kickstarts again.

"You look beautiful" I half whisper

She smiles "thank you. You don't look too bad yourself"

I look down, I'd thrown on my best shirt; a white dress shirt and my best jeans. I'd rolled the sleeves up on my shirt because I heard that's always better. 

"Bye" Eadlyn says and we leave

"Bye have fun!"
