Marianas POV

Oh, God. Oh, no. Why'd I agree to this? I'm a nervous wreck. I go to the closet and pick out what Sky and I chose yesterday, looking at it for a while and then shaking my head, "No, I can do better." I say, looking through my closet, "No, I can't. All my clothes are hideous, ugh!"

I lay back on the bed and my phone dings, Skylar texting me to tell my Sawyer left. I quickly stand up and change into the previously picked outfit and look in the mirror, "I guess it'll do." I say, sliding on my shoes and quickly applying some makeup before there's a knock at the door.

"Shit, okay, calm down. Just a date, it's fine." I walk downstairs and open the door,

"Hey," I smile and he shoves flowers my way, I conceal a laugh,

"I got you these." he says quickly and I smile,

"Aw, they're so pretty, thank you." I take them, turning around to put them on the entrance table,

"You're an idiot, calm down." I hear him whisper quietly to myself. I quietly laugh before turning back around, "You look beautiful, tonight."

"Thank you, you look very nice." I say, awkwardly as fuck.

"Thanks, Sophia and Sky kinda picked out my outfit and did my hair..." he says and I nod, "You ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." I walk over to the car and he opens the door for me, "Oh, thank you." I smile, chivalry isn't dead I guess. he rushes back over to the drivers seat and puts his keys in the ignition,

"Okay, it's still kinda illegal for me to drive non family members around." he looks at me and I laugh,

"Do you want me to drive?" I ask and he shakes his head,

"No, no it's okay."

"Wow, first date and already breaking the law. I see." I sarcastically say and he looks at me,

"If it bothers you, you can drive." he says nervously,

"No, Sawyer, I was kidding, it's okay." I laugh and he nods, "So, where are we going?"

"Olive Garden, you like it there right?"

"I love it." I respond and he nods, "So, how'd the whole 'figuring your shit out' go?"

"It actually went pretty well. I think we're all back to at least tolerating each other, it'll grow to actually liking each other, well mainly liking Sophia." he says, "But there will still be many sarcastic comments and nasty replies, there's no getting rid of that."

"That's the humor in your house, you can't get rid of it." I respond,

"True." he says, "I think Sky got a message back from Jack."

"Really? She didn't even tell me..."

"I may be wrong, but I thought I saw the notification, plus she had a weird reaction on her face when she got her phone back. Her face kinda went blank."

"Hopefully he fessed up."

"Hopefully."
