•Luke's POV•
*Moments Before Stella Asked Permission*
"Mum?" I called out from the living room. "Is dinner ready?"
"Almost done, sweetie. why?" she asked from the kitchen.
"I.. I was thinking of making Stella? Stella Mead? One of my best friends?" I said, walking in the kitchen.
"Yes, continue, Robert," she said.
"I was thinking of making her have dinner with us?" I said which made her turn to me.
'
"Oh.. Sure, honey. Why not?" she said, cupping her hands on my cheeks. "Is she someone special to you? Well, I mean, more than best friends?"
She went back to preparing dinner. "I... Yeah, she is.. Sort of," I said, rubbing the back of my neck.
"She seems like a wonderful girl," my mum said.
"She is." I whispered to myself. "Well, it's settled then?"
She nodded. "Thanks mum," I said, hugging her.

•Stella's POV•
Was I ready?
No. I wasn't.
Here I was sitting behind my bedroom door in my floral dress. My hands were gripping on my carpeted floor. I knew what this feeling was. The feeling of being nervous.
I know it's not the first time I'm going to meet Luke's family, but in this case, it's another approach.
"Relax, Tella. it's just dinner." I said to myself.
I heard my phone ring on my desk. I got up and ran to my desk and answered.
"Stella?" the deep voice of Luke, said.
I gulped. "Luke. Uh... I'm on my way." I said, hurrying and getting out my room.
"Oh. That's cool because I'm already waiting outside my house," he said.
"Shit." I mumbled. "Uh.. Yeah, see you."
"Yeah, okay. I love you." he said.
I fell silent. I felt myself blush. "Uh.. yeah. Bye" I put down my phone.
Holy cricket. He's purposely doing it now. Oh gosh.
"Mom?" I said, going in the kitchen.
"Oh, Stella. Here's the cake I made. bring it to them." my mom said, handing me a chocolate cake.
"Uh.. Sure. Okay. I'll be going mom." I said, exiting the house.
Okay. This is it.. Just a few houses then I'll be seeing Luke again.
I sighed and started walking down the road.
•Luke's POV•
It was pretty cold outside because of the breeze. Then suddenly, a figure appeared from up the road.
The figure suddenly waved at me.
"Stella?" I called.
"Luke!" she called back.
I went to meet up with her and I saw her bringing a cake.
"Wow. That's pretty," I said, then noticing what she was wearing. I didn't mean to but I bit my lip.
"Lucas!" Stella called, slapping my arm.
"I-I'm sorry. I just.." I stopped, just to cut the awkwardness.
