"My dad said he will like it if you join us for dinner, Saturday night."

Billie fiddle with the sleeves of her crew neck sweater.

"Saturday night."

"Yes."

"Sure." Elijah reply throwing his arm around Billie.

That was Thursday afternoon.

Elijah had ask his brother to leaned him his car.

Elijah texted Billie letting her know he had arrived.

"Hello."

"Hi."

Billie look behind her then back to Elijah, pecking him on the mouth.

"I like that!" Admitted Elijah once he and Billie pulled away.

"Me too."

Billie clean any trace of her makeup off of Elijah's face.

Her lipstick stain his mouth.

"Let me get that." Billie said as she wipe the corner of Elijah's mouth.

Billie and Elijah walk to the living room.

"Good to see you made it." Greeted Billie's father once he saw Billie and Elijah.

"Thank you for having me sir."  Reply Elijah extending his hand out for a handshake.

"Sit down." Billie's father said.

"Someone is ringing the doorbell." Announce Isaac.

"I'll get it." Reply their father standing up. "It's Preston most likely."

"You invited Preston?"

"Yes, why?"

"Never mind."

Billie waited for her dad to be out of ear sight.

"I didn't know anything about Preston and company."

"I know, don't worry."

Billie could of swear her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw Phillip in her living room along with her cousins.

God help me, she couldn't help but think.

"Look who is back?" Question Theodore, pointing to Phillip.

"He just arrived from Australia, like three days ago."

Lie!

Phillip was lying to them, he had arrived from his trip before spring break.

Billie felt bad for making Phillip picking her up last time and didn't want to make him feel as she was using him, so she and him had been texting back and forward.

When Phillip greeted Billie he hugged her, bear style.

"Little Billie." Phillip call her.
