22 - chopsticks

when my mom left, i stood there in shock. i peaked the closet door open and he looked at me with as much shock.

"whats gonna happen now?" he whispered. "what about my underwear?"

i couldnt help myself but a giggle left my lips. "dont worry, she wont question you or anything. ill go check the wash." i whispered back. "just, stay in my bathroom and dont come out." luke nodded, running over to my bathroom and shut the door behind him. i quickly made it downstairs to the washroom.

"leia is he just gonna hide upstairs?" i heard my mom call.

i paused, my cheeks getting flushed. "no mom," i sighed. "ill bring him down in a second."

just as quickly as i came down, i went up and luke got dressed. he looked nervous, biting his lip. "do i look okay?" he asked, looking at himself in my mirror. i walked forward, wrapping my arms from behind him.

"yes you look great." i smiled and kissed his shoulder.

we walked downstairs, hearing my mom talk to grey and matty. when we walked into the dining room, my mom eating pizza with them. "mom, this is luke."

"hello miss." luke waved and held his hand out to her.

"you're liz hemmings son arent you?" she smiled examining his face and taking his hand.

"uh, yeah." he nodded.

"you look just like your mother, luke." my mom giggled and grabbed two plates. "are you hungry?"

after dinner, luke and i waited outside sitting on the porch as he waited for an uber. "so do you think she likes me?"

i rolled my eyes. "yes luke. she likes you, she wasnt hounding you was she?" he just shrugged and grabbed my hand, his lips pressing a kiss to my skin.

"sooooo," he paused, looking away before his baby blue eyes met mine again. "would you like to go on a date sometime? like-saturday, six o'clock at a nice little kbbq place i know?"

"thats very specific but sure," i laughed as i saw a car pull up. "whats the dress code?"

"casual, love. ill see you later." luke pressed a kiss to my cheek before getting up and walking to his uber. once he drove away, i walked back in the house. my mom was on the couch with her laptop editing photos.

"so?" i asked biting my lip and sitting next to her.

"he's nice, he is a bit older than you isnt he?" she asked, still staring at the screen.

"yeah.. hes 22 but its not a big deal mom." i shrugged, grabbing a pillow to cuddle. "i wont do anything you wouldnt want me to do."

she looked at me, giving me a small smile. "i know its not a big deal, you act probably more mature then that boy," my mom chuckled taking off her glasses. "does liz know the two of you are together?"

i bit down on my lip. "i dont think so? luke has an apartment so i have no idea. but i know he will eventually."

my mom just nodded, going back to editing her photos.

when the weekend came, i was excited, maybe even a little nervous about our date. i was finishing up my makeup, putting chapstick on my lips before checking out my outfit in the mirror, i was wearing a simple black dress that stopped mid thigh with a black jean jacket to go over it and a red beret to give a pop of color.

i grabbed my phone, opening up imessage to text luke.

'hey im ready whenever u are'

luke 💛: omw princess
