Alice looked into her closet looking for something decent to wear at the dinner. She didn't know if it'd be something elegant or just casual, George said he didn't know it either. He barely knew the hour they should go!
He didn't change anything, she thought.
The gal looked around the bedroom at all those little colored flowers filling the walls and ceiling, painted by George and her soon that afternoon. The lad called it a masterpiece.
"Alice, we're going to be late if you don't hurry up!" her grandmother yelled.
The young girl finally picked a blue and white polkadot skirt that reached her knees, a white top and a black coat.
Alice went downstairs while fixing a big blue lace on her hair so her long black band wouldn't fall on her face as it always do.
She found the old fat lady that was her grandma sitting on the couch petting one of the many cats she had.
"Oh, dear, you look awesome!" she said as she difficultly got up.
"Thank you grandma" her grandchild answered.
They walked outside on the cold night jus to cross the street, to the house in front of their.
Alice rung the bell and the door was opened two seconds after.
"Oh darling! You look so beautiful" Louise Harrison said as she gave the girl a tight embrace "Come on in" she stepped backwards so the guests could walk into the house.
Mrs. Harrison led them to the dinner room, where George, his three siblings and his father were sitting around a big table.
They all got up and greeted Alice and her grandmother.
"Please, have your seat, the dinner is almost ready" Mrs. Harrison said gesturing to the table. Alice sat by George's side and Mrs. Clark went to the kitchen with Mrs. Harrison to politely help her.
"You look stunning tonight" George whispered into Alice's ear making the girl blush lightly.
"Thanks" she said shyly. George chuckled.
"So, how've you been?" Mr. Harrison asked the girl, crossing his arms over the table.
"Very good, it's great to be back home" she replied smiling.
George couldn't stop staring at her, her eyes, her perfect smile and he listened to every word she said like if she was an angel.
Alice noticed that and started feeling uncomfortable.
The hours went by as they ate Mrs. Harrison's cheese macaroni. The desert was a big succulent chocolate cake. George ate it faster than a blink.
"The dinner was delicious, Mrs. Harrison" Alice said putting her fork down on the plate.
"Oh thank you dear, you can come to dinner more often so I can make some especial recipes for you" George's mothers winked.
"Thank you Louise, that's very kind, but now we've got to go, you see, it's almost midnight!" Alice's fat grandmother said getting up from the chair that seemed extremely small under her big bottom.
"George, could you walk them to the door" said Harold Harrison "It was nice to see you, Ali" he smiled.
"Nice to see you to, Mr. Harrison" she smiled back swiftly standing up.
George's family waved goodbye as the folk led the ladies to the front door
All of sudden he held Alice's arm before she could walk outside. She looked at him surprised.
"Uh what your going to do Tuesday?" he whispered looking into her hazel eyes.
"Tuesday?" the girl frowned "Tuesday is New Year"
George's hands were getting sweaty so he let go of her arm and placing it on the back of his neck.
"Yeah... eh... I was wondering, well, my friend's making a new years party at his house.. and uh, would you like to... you know.." he said nervously.
"I'd love to go" Alice giggled blushing.
"Great" George smiled.
They kept staring at each other in silence.
"Bye Geo" Alice said.
Mrs. Clark pulled Alice's sleeve.
"He has a girlfriend, you know" she said laming back to their house
A girlfriend?
"A-a girlfriend?" Alice asked frowning, that couldn't be true "He never told me about her" she looked back to see that George was still standing at the door, he waved cutely.
"Obviously" Mrs. Clark muttered opening the front door.
Grandma is old, Alice thought, she doesn't know what she's saying.
