Time: 6:30 p.m

Emily's point of view

*****

In about thirty minutes Matt would be here to pick me up. I took a quick shower and got dressed in a mint green high-low dress with a mini brown belt. I had my hair straightened making it seem longer. I put on simple gold studs and gold bangles. I had my makeup all natural.

I heard the door know from downstairs. I checked my reflection one last time before grabbing my pair of mint green pumps and my brown clutch.

Then I ran down the stairs. Once I got at the end of the stairs, I placed my hair and adjusted my hair one last time. "God I'm such a girl." I thought. I opened the door to see Matt. My stomach felt all jittery again. He had his hair gelled up as usual. He wore black slacks and a plaid shirt.

"You look beautiful." He said to me.

"Thanks." I replied blushing. I closed the door behind me and made his way to his car.

"Where's your sister?" I asked remembering earlier conversation.

"She's in the car. She said she can't wait to meet you." Matt said.

"That's sweet." I said.

"You can take the front." He told me. We got in his car and I saw a girl behind him. She looked about a year or so younger, Her hair was as light as him and she had brown eyes. She was wearing a cute floral skater dress and white lace flats. Her hair was in a high ponytail. In words she was adorable.

"Hey I'm Bella." The girl said placing her hand out. I shook it gratefully.

"Hi I'm Emily but call me Em or Emy." I said. "It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Matt hasn't stopped talking about you." Bella said making Matt blush red.

"Bells." Matt said annoyed. He pulled out the driveway and started driving to Cristal's.

"It's fine Matt." I reassured. He smiled and me and Bella started talking.

"We're here." Matt interrupted our conversation. We got out of the car and went to the backyard for it to be decorated beautifully with white lanterns and lights.

There was a black grand piano on the side with a small orchestra of four playing. It was nice and classical. Exactly Mr. and Mrs. Mendes's type. All of the Mendes's family members were sitting in tables. Talking. Getting drinks from the small bar stand at the corner or drinking champagne.

"Hey." Alyssa said making her way up to us. She looked amazing. She was wearing a white lace bodycon dress with 3'4 sleeves. She had on white lace boot heels matching what she was wearing. She had her hair in flowing curls. She had gold bracelets on and gold drop earrings.

"Hey." I said hugging her.

"Hey Lyss." Matt said hugging her.

"So this is Bella." He introduced. "She's my baby sis."

"Nice to meet you." Alyssa said hugging her. Bella smiled and hugged back.

"C'mon everyone's inside."

We walked into the living room. Everyone sitting in the couch.

"Hey guys." I said hugging Cristal.

Cristal looked beautiful. Her hair was in a ponytail with bouncy curls and a light pink lace bow. Her makeup looked natural you wouldn't think there was any. She was wearing a light pink skater dress with a heart shaped cut out back with matching light pink pumps.
