Dinner dates

We had dinner together as soon as I got home. Dad made all of mom's favorite foods; mashed potatoes, roast vegetables, and an assortment of salads. I still couldn't believe that these were her favorite foods but hey she's a model.

We kept the dinner as a family occasion and it was more than perfect. I think I'd used that word more in the last day that I ever had before. But it's the only word to describe my life right now. Perfect.

"So mom how are you feeling?" Ahren asks across the table

"I'm fine darling, but let's not talk about me. This is a celebration, let's act like it" she smiled at all of us and held dads hand. I smile to myself and think of Kile.

"How's Camille?" Dad asked between mouthfuls of mashed potato

Ahren looks down and sighs, "I don't know, we broke up"

I almost choke on my food, "oh Ahren Im so sorry"

He looks like he doesn't believe me but now is not the time to fight so he just nods

"Well Eady what about Kile?"

I look at dad trying to tell him with my eyes that now isn't the time for that but Ahren smiles at me, silently giving permission to answer. "He's great, it's our one month anniversary soon so he's planning something special."

"Has it been a month already? Wow"

"Yeah it's gone by really fast"

We talk about everything and once again all I can think of is how perfect everything is. I help dad clean up while Ahren takes mom into the living room to watch a movie.

"I'm proud of you Eady" dad says looking over at me from the sink.

I smile, "thank you"

"Your mom is too, we're both just so proud"

You ready to go?

I take one last look in the mirror and straighten my dress. The neckline is plunging and the skirt flutter lightly. I grab a white purse to contract the red of the dress and run down the stairs. Kile is already in the living room about to send another text when I put my hands over his eyes and kiss his cheek.

"Guess who?" I say

"Well I hope it's Eadlyn otherwise this is going to be very awkward" he spins around in his seat and kisses me. I smile against his lips.

"Ready to go?"

I nod and we head out the door.
