I tried to look as cute as possible for dinner with Luke's mum. Sure, I've met her before, she's a lovely lady, but this time is very different. This time I'm his girlfriend. The pressure to find something cute enough for Luke to like and yet appropriate enough for Liz to like me, was difficult. I settled on a maroon dress with black pointy heals. I put on my pearls and matching earrings. We were going to a fancy place after all. I styled my hair into waves and did classic make up with a little eye liner and lipstick to match my dress. I sprayed some of my moms Chanel perfume and was ready. I waited by the door until I heard a knock.
"Hey, you look awfully handsome." I grin at the sight of Luke in a tie.
It really makes my heart melt.
"We aren't going. My mum had to fly back tonight." He sighed.
"Well, we could still go to dinner if you want? Or we could change and order pizza for a night in?" I offer.
"No, it's fine. I'm just gonna go home for the night." Luke shrugged.
"Wait, do you want me to come with you?" I ask.
"No. I'm sorry you got all dressed up for nothing. You look really pretty tho." He smiles softly at me.
"Promise me you will call later?" I peck his lips.
"Yeah. Night." He kisses my forehead before he left.
I feel awfully bad now. I know he was really excited.
I walk back to my room to undress. I changed into soft shorts and a halter top. I pulled my hair up into a bun and I removed my lipstick.
I sigh heavily before grabbing a bag and packing clothes, a little make up, some remover, and my phone charger.
"Hey, mom, change of plans. Liz had to go back to work, so I'm free tonight. Marisa had invited me over to sleep, can I go?" I ask.
"Sure, sweetheart. Need me to drop you off?" She asked.
"Mind if I take the car? I promise I'll be up early enough to have it back before you leave for work." I give her a nervous smile.
"Sure, and be sure to give Luke a hug for me." She smirked.
"I will." I said before thinking.
"Mom, I—" she cut me off.
"I trust you to be safe." she left it at that before tossing me the keys.
I drove to Luke's and was sure to park behind him.
I rang the doorbell four times before Luke answered.
"Isabelle, what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I would like to be here for you, that is if you will allow me to." I toss my bag down and then look up at him.
Luke hugged me, "Thank you." He kissed me sweetly.
