Wedding day?

Chapter 20:

"I have officially gone crazy! What the hell was I thinking? No, that's the thing Alva you weren't thinking!" I said to my vanity mirror as I got ready for this dinner I had agreed to go to in an utterly stupid moment of lack of functioning brain cells.

Minutes after I had agreed to this family dinner I had an immense amount of regret of doing so. Tonight could go wrong in so many ways, I don't even know why my curiosity got the better of me I had been doing so well at keeping my mouth shut during the entire tour, but right as I was about to be set free it occurred to me to ask that bullshit of a question.

As I continued my internal rant to myself I finished getting ready, luckily the dinner was casual so I only put on a very light and natural makeup look, with a thin beige sweater paired with some dark blue jeans and some booties for my shoes honestly it was quite a simple look even for me. As I looked at myself in the mirror the doorbell rang God I still hate that sound

"Well, here goes nothing" I sighed to myself as I walked over to the door and twisted the handle.

I opened the door and there stood Sterlyn in all his glory (wait, glory? What's wrong with me?!). after about a second or two of silence I said Hey and that seemed to trigger him so after batting his eyes twice he answered Hi you look good. (well I suppose thats better than the nice he gave me at Farrahs rehearse dinner.) Thank you, you lookwell I still wouldnt allow myself to give him a heartfelt compliment so that would have to do for him.

Thanks, I suppose," he said with a humorous smirk. (Whats wrong with him? It wasnt meant to be taken well!)

So shall we get going?? he asked.

Yeah, let me just get my bag. I guess there no getting out of this now.

I got my bag then walked out the door and locked it, then we both headed towards his car before he could open my door I did so myself, no need for gentlemen like manners. He just sighed and headed to his side got in and started the engine and we were off.

************************************************************

Luckily the car drive was short and Sterlyn only asked me how my day had gone and I told him that it had been pretty short and quick since I had been with him most of the day, during the car ride I felt that he was kinda tense but I couldnt tell why to be honest

A couple of minutes later we arrived. Once Sterlyn opens the front door he informed I suppose his parents that we had arrived and rushing from out of the kitchen with her oven mittens still on was Ms.Maxwell in all her stunning glory.

Alva! Its so wonderful to finally meet you. She said as she wrapped her arms around me in a huge hug. I was completely stunned, it felt so full of love and joy. I guess thats a motherly hug should feel like.(authors P.O.V. can we just cry for poor Alva for a moment)

"Honey you're going to squash the poor girl before she even tries your cookies." Mr. Maxwell said while walking over to give me a hug as well.

Nice to see you again Alva. Im happy you came to dinner.

Well thank you for having me. I said with an honest smile, it had been a long time since I was greeted so lovely for a family dinner, I felt really touched.

"Hey mom, Hey Dad" Sterlyn said as he gave his parents a hug as well.

"Well, I suggest we don't just stand around here while the foods get cold, let head to the dining room." After Sterlyn's mom said that we all headed there and took our seats.

"So Sterlyn told me your favorite cuisine is Italian, so I decided to make Gnocchi with a white cheese sauce. I hope you like it." Ms. Maxwell said while a slight blush crept on her face.
