chapter 9: The date pt.1

Shana

Babysitting with Luke was awful. He has no clue how to deal with children. He literally threatened them.

Oh goodness gracious. The man child literally threatened to shove lemons down their throat if they didn't shut the *insert wordy durd* up.

I am probably going to lose my job. Luke decided to make up for it by taking the kids to the park.

The Tellos have a piano. I actually play the piano so I figured I have nothing better to do than to play the piano.

You're on your own
In a world you've grown
A few more years to go
Don't let the hurdle fall

So be the girl you love
Be the girl you love
I'll wait show me why you're strong
Ignore every body else
We're alone now

I was interrupted by clapping.

"You were great. I didn't know you liked James Blake. " Luke said.

"Yeah. Retrograde is my song. Sori and I saw him in concert last year. " I said while blushing. Good thing the melanin in my body could hide that.

"Cool. Could you sing for me?" Luke asked.

" I can't. I like to sing with emotion. But maybe one day. How was the park? " I said changing the subject.

"It was fine. The kids played with other children. Nothing much. " Luke casually said.

"I was wondering. ..um...w-would you go on a date with me?" Luke mumbled.

"Umm.....s-sure. Uh uh when do you want to go? " I stuttered. Gosh. What am I doing?

"How bout tonight at 8:00? I will pick you up. Wear something comfortable. "He said.

"Ok. Cool. I'll. ..I'll um see you then." I freaking stuttered again.

(Shana still)

I called Shea.

"hello?" Shea said
"Shea! Luke asked me out. I need your help! I have never been on a date before. Oh my gosh! What am I going to wear? oh no! What if he hates it. I hope-" I got cut off.

"Slow down chica. He's going to love ju!" Shea said with her Filipino accent coming out. She is Filipino but her accent usually comes out when she's excited.

"Ok! Can you come over please? I have to have your help with choosing the outfit and makeup. " I said giddily.

"
Sige, honey. Hay naku. Aalis na ako, papunta ako jan.

(Okay honey. My goodness. I'm leaving now, I'm on the way there.)

Ipa-make over kita at pagkatapos ako dito, mag-faint siya sa unang makakita kasi maganda ka.

(I'll make you over and when I'm done here, he'll faint because you're so beautiful.)
She said.

"See you in a few. Bye" I said and hung up.

I jumped in the shower. Shea was in my room. (She has a key).

"Ipa-make over kita at pagkatapos ako dito, mag-faint siya sa unang makakita kasi maganda ka." Shea said with so much excitement.

Well here we go

Had to change my translations. It was brought to my attention that they were completely off.
