Chapter Fifty Three.

Amy's Point of View:

     Waking up to the smell of breakfast reminds me of when I was growing up. Mine and my brothers bedrooms were right off the kitchen so whenever anyone made anything we would have the pleasure of smelling their creations. It was also the only way she was able to get my out of bed for school all throughout elementary school but thats a different story. I set myself up on my elbow and look towards the kitchen to see who's awake and cooking, My bets on Ethan because he's pretty much an old man and goes to sleep early and wakes up early. I turn my head slightly to look towards the kitchen and see Ethan making breakfast "Ethan?" I set up all the way "What time is it?" I question, My eyes burning from the light in the kitchen. "7am" He turns around to look at me "You can go back to sleep" He turns back and pours batter into a pan "I'll wake you up when breakfast is ready" His voice is echoey but I get the gist. "I'll take you up on that" I point my finger towards him and lay back down on the couch "Goodnight Ethan" I mumble into my blanket. 

     The sound of conversation in the kitchen is what wakes me up this time. I roll onto my back and put my hands over my eyes trying to block out as much sunlight as I can. I don't know why rubbing my eyes over and over until I see black spots is what my brain tells my body to do but I just hope it works. I finally set up and wrap my blanket over me, starting to walk to the kitchen "What happened to waking me up when breakfast was ready?" I stop in the doorway and look over everyone sitting in front of an empty plate. "You looked too peaceful to wake up" Mark looks up at me. "Ok well now you get to make this not so peaceful person some breakfast" I give the same smile he just gave me and see his face fall. "Mark unless you want her to be like this all day I would recommend making her some breakfast" Kathryn sets her hands on the table and Mark looks between her and I before standing and walking to the kitchen area. "Thank you, Love" I smile as I take his chair "So whats the plan for today?" I smile and look around the table.

     "Mark go edit" He doesn't get a word out before I already interrupt him. He stands confused in my doorway "I was going to see if you wanted to go get lunch with me?" His eyes bounce around the room and I can tell he came up with that on the spot. "OK" I smile and close my laptop, Pushing it to the end of my bed "What was the real reason you came in here?" I pat the edge of my bed, Encouraging him to sit down. "Well" He closes the door and pads over to sit on the edge of my bed "I was wondering if you had talked to your mom about me" His voice drifts off and he looks down at my white duvet. "I haven't actually" I shake my head and try to think about our conversations "Are you worried about her not liking you?" I question, Trying to meet his eyes. "Well the last time we met she didn't know about me and I was an ass the entire time because she thought you were with Ethan and-" He finally looks up but as soon as he does I cut him off, Connecting our lips. I can hear him breath out any anxiety he was having before and place his hands on my waist, His fingers pressing into my skin. One hand rests on the side of his face while the other is set leisurely on his shoulder. I smile into the kiss, Knowing it's settling his nerves about meeting my family. He pulls apart but hovers over my lips for a moment before placing one last gentle kiss to my nose. "Better?" I ask, My forehead leaning against his. He lets out a deep breath and closes his eyes "Much" He nods before looking to my eyes again smiling. 

     After calming Mark I sent him off to edit the final few videos he recorded today. I want him to take these two weeks off and not have to worry about recording or editing or comments or anything of the sorts but enjoy each other. You know, All the couple stuff. A knock to my door interrupts my thoughts, Making me put my laptop on the table beside my bed "Come in" I set back up in my bed and cross my legs. "Hey Amy" Ethan opens the door and stands in the doorway "Tyler and Eve wanted to know if we wanted to go out to eat with them" He smiles and rolls on his feet "They said it was up to us" He shrugs, Attempting to be casual about it but you could tell he was excited. I laugh and run my fingers through my hair, Feeling the  gross oil "Sure I'll go" I see his smile grow wider "What time and where?" I question. "7 o clock and at The Ivy" He nods towards me. "I'll be there" I smile again and watch as he walks out my bedroom door. I look to the clock resting on my nightstand. 5.37. I hop off the side of my bed and walk to my closet picking out an outfit. This has always been the hardest thing for me whenever I get ready so I always end up wearing the same three outfits. This time I decided on black skinny jeans and a white crop top. I didn't grab my camo jacket yet because I can walk back to my room not having to have it on. I gather my clothes in my hand and walk out my bedroom door before walking to the closet in the hall and grabbing a towel. Now fixing this greasy hair situation.

     "Ethan why don't you splurge the extra five dollars and park in the garage" Kathryn turns her head to look at Ethan from the passenger seat. After last time when we drove to Tyler and Eve's I don't know why we didn't learn our lesson and let Ethan drive again. "I'm fine" He turns his head and the wheel at the same time, Attempting to park between two cars. "These cars look expensive" Mark mumbles under his breath and looks out the window onto the sidewalk. "I have this guys" He tries to sound confident but you can see his worry when he turns to look. "At this point just try to have the car pulled in enough so we don't get hit" I look behind us and make sure no cars coming when I feel Ethan put the car in park. "Did it" He smacks his hands together and opens his door. "but the back of the car is halfway in that lane" I point my finger out the window and turn towards Mark. "Just let him be" He pats my shoulder and gets out of the car himself. I shrug and begin to open my door, I guess it's better than sitting in the car for an extra half hour.

     When we arrive Eve, Tyler, and Blair are already seated. When we see each other you would think we haven't gotten to talk in over a year when in realty we saw them last week. None of us realize how loud our voices really got until a waitress comes round and ask if we could take our seats. The Ivy is supposed to be this super mainstream place in L.A. with fancy people and fancy outfits and those tiny dinners that cost 150 dollars. Trust me it still is but when we get there in our lazy day clothes and stuff we are defiantly the odd ones out but no one in our group cares. "We saw Ethan spend 15 minutes trying to park" Eve laughs and takes a sip of her drink. "I did well" Ethan tries to stand up for himself and we all look at each other around the table knowing he didn't. "No" Tyler finally breaks the looks "No you didn't" We all laugh and Ethan pretends to be upset. Tyler and Eve are those friends who when you go to eat with the conversation never falls silent or gets boring. We continue to receive dirty looks from the overly dressed people who set around us but none of us care enough to do anything about it. "So whats the plan for Christmas and New Years?" Eve questions and takes a sip of her water. "Mark is giving us two weeks off and we're all flying home" Kathryn smiles at the thought of going back to her happy place. "Amy and Mark separated for two weeks" She holds a hand to her chest "How will you two live" She puts her hand back beside her and laughs. "Funny" I laugh along with her. We've become really close friends since we met which is nice to have a friend that I don't work with. "We're actually flying back to Ohio together and spending Christmas with my family and New Years with his" I smile and nod my head making her smile. "I wish you two a great time back home" Her smiles are always so genuine and you can tell when she means it. The rest of the dinner was very content and nice to see our friends before we leave for vacation. Ever since I have moved out here I always think I'm dreaming or it's not real and when I realize It is, I couldn't be more happy with my decision.

Another cute chapter! I thought this was cute myself which could either mean it isn't or it is so hit or miss situation. I can't wait to show you all what I have planned later and I hope you all really like it. We've almost hit our comment goal within three updates! Thats crazy! I can't thank you all enough. I also just wanted to put out there that if any of you need someone to talk to or rant to after a long day just know that I'm here to listen. I can't thank you all enough for all you've done. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed this read.                                                                        xxParks
