Be With Me | Mr. Mysterious

Chapter 26 - The Awkward Incident

Amane's POV:

It was my first time going on a date and I was so nervous. Nessa came over to help me with dressing up.

For some reason, Jessie couldn't make it and promised would make it up to me later.

"Here, wear this!" She took out a purple color dress which reached till my knee but it was sleeveless. "You know I don't like sleeveless.." I pointed to the sleeve part while telling her.

"Just this one time. It'll be fine!!" She insisted.

"Capital NO!!" I told her. I couldn't ever wear that and go out. "Please! First time someone has ever asked you out. Don't go and spoil it." She whined like a young kid.

"Arghh! Fine, but I'll take this coat with me. If and when I feel awkward, I'll wear it immediately." I told her picking a Golden color overcoat.

I got dressed up and she made me sit down to do my make up. "Sorry but no!" I declined her attempt and took the eyeliner. After applying it, I was done.

I wasn't even a small fan of makeup. Just some eyeliner would do!

With that I was set to go. I twirled around looking at my reflection in the mirror. "Amy? Is that you?" The door burst open and in came my sister. I was happy that she was awestruck with my look. She couldn't believe that it was me.

"Well, you look the same ugly as usual. Maybe a little prettier now!" She rolled her eyes and went to lay on my bed.

"Hey! Nobody lies there except me! And thanks for your effortless compliment!" I gave her one of my very forced smile and shrugged.

I went downstairs and was wearing my sandals when a knock came on the door.

"I'll get it!" Out of everyone, my dad had to go. Just great! "All the best, Noah!" I did a silent prayer for him.

"Hey, I'm Noah... nice to meet you brother! Is Amy ready?" I heard Noah say. That moment I knew he spoiled everything.

"Hey Son, nice to meet you too! Unfortunately I'm her Dad and not brother!" My Dad replied while making a shrug like Tom from Tom & Jerry!

I tiptoed towards the door and stood hiding behind a wall. It was entertaining to watch my Dad messing around with Noah. Poor Noah, he seemed so nervous. He did his best to act normal in front of Dad.

Something which caught my attention was his expressions when my dad introduced himself. I wonder what was that... He looked taken aback by something and tried to maintain his normal look.

I hold back my laughter when I saw Ed rushing downstairs.

"Hey! What's wrong?" I mouthed with a low voice at him. "Ah! Amy, I'm glad you didn't go yet." He spoke very loudly.

By now I knew the sound waves already travelled in the air and reached my Dad's and Noah's ears. I put my index finger on my lips and told Ed to keep shut.

As I slowly turned towards the door, I saw them both staring at me. "Arghh!!" I groaned. "There goes my fun!" I pouted sadly.

"Amy, come here for a second!" My Dad called out.

"Wait!" Edward told. "You forgot this!" He came forward and put something on my hair. "What did you just do?" I tried touching my hair and finding out what he did. 

"Hey! Don't spoil it!" He slapped my hands away. "Anyways, you'll look cuter, I'm sure!" He then pushed me towards my Dad.

"Look at my daughter, finally growing up!" He acted as if crying wiping his cheeks. "Dad, put some water. Then you wipe the tears.." I handed him a bottle of water.
