Chapter 11,
Eden
Waking up to a loud banging on the door isn't the most ideal way to wake up. Groaning I look at the clock and pull the covers back over my head seeing it's only six o'clock. Realizing whoever is there isn't leaving anytime soon I throw a sweater over my tank top and put on my slippers.
Before I even have a chance to fully open my door my mom walks in
"What in the world are you still doing in your pajamas?! I would have thought you would have at least showered by now" she demands while tapping her food in that intimidating kind of parent way
"What are y..." I start to say
"Never mind, no time for your little story's. Go hop in the shower"
"Mom listen to me! Gosh, why am I getting ready?" I ask
"Dear lord, I'm assuming you don't have a date then" my mother says and pulls out a flask and takes a swing
"A dat...oh shit today's aunties wedding isn't it?" I say looking at the calendar
"Language and that would be today yes. So your plus one is empty then?" She asks
I think about telling her the truth until a lightbulb pops into my head
"Of course I have a date mom I've know about this for a few months now gosh have some faith in me" I give a realistic smile being the good liar I am
"Well chop chop go get in the shower please" my mom scoots me towards the bathroom
"Ok ok let me go grab my robe first" I laugh
Running into my bedroom to grab my phone I quickly pull up Jacobs name. "I can't believe I'm doing this" I mumble to myself
'I have a Question' I type and hit send less then a minute later my phone alerts me I have a message
'And I have an answer'
'Its more of a favor...'
'Just ask'
'So I kind of spaced it's my aunts wedding today... And I'm supposed to bring a plus one'
'Say no more if you wanted to go on an official date you could have just told me;)'
'Great! But tone down the cockiness will you? Lol I have to go I'll text you in a while thank you'
I put down my phone and lock myself in the bathroom turning up my music to cloud my thoughts
