Beautiful

Chapter 13

I felt like Chapter 12 was getting long so I guess the dinner is in this part.

Love ya!

Allie opens the door and a surge of smells rush to my nose.  From what I can tell, were gonna some variation of Mexican food.

We walk into the kitchen and I'm greeted by Allie's step brother, Mark. He just scowls at me. And he's really short. I can't help but laugh when he has to look all the way up at me. I'm pretty sure Allie told me he was a soft more. I don't think he's dating anyone, but all the girls ship him and Cassy's little sister. It seems cute enough. But I try not to meet younger siblings. Kids just don't like me.

"Mark don't be a jerk. Anyways, this is Mason." Allie introduces me. Mark's scowl fades into a light smile. He sticks out his hand and I shake it.

"Hi."

Allie pulls me I to the kitchen where I find Allie's mom. She was working over the stove. I was right I think we are gonna have taco salad. My mom prepares it all the time.

"Mom, this is Mason." Allie's mom turns around and smiles at me. I smile back and offer her my hand. She shakes it and opens her mouth as if to say something but just sighs and turns back around.

Allie, again, yanks me over to a dining room. We sit down next to each other and I don't let go of Allies hand. I should. My hands kinda sweaty. But I don't really care.

"What was your mom gonna say?" I ask. I don't think it was a bad thing but if she chose not to say it...

"I don't know probably nothing. You shouldn't worry about her though. She's cool and is easy to win over. Well, this entire side of my family is easy. You should worry about my dad." She chuckles and looks out the window. I look into her beautiful green eyes. They're soft and have small gold crystals in them.

"Ya, I feel like you say that a lot." She laughs again. Smiling that full smile. I remember when she had braces. They didn't have color so they looked like train tracks. Our favorite teacher used to call her that. He was awesome. He loved me and Allie.

"Alright. Food is done." I hear Allies mom say as everyone comes and sits at the table. Including a man I hadn't met yet. I assumed it was Matt, Allie's step dad.

"Uh, are you Mason?" He asks me.

"Ya." I nod and Allie's mom puts a plate down right in front of me and Allie.

We kinda just talk through dinner. Not about anything specific. I didn't really add anything to the conversation. I wasn't rude, I replied when someone spoke to me. I just didn't really say anything. I was having an ok time until there was a knock on the door. Allie winks at me and getd the door.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" Allie asks. She sounds a little nervous.

"I lost my apartment and needed to talk to you. You weren't answer your phone. What's for dinner?" The man says. Allie steps aside and he walks in. Oh god. I just registered the fact I'm meeting Allies dad. A huge wave of fear washes over me. Oh god.

Allie's dad sits down across the street from me. He looks at me confused.

"Mick, this is Mason, Allie's" she pauses a little afraid of his reaction. "Boyfriend."

Mick still looks at me. His eyebrows furrowed. He glances up at Allie who was standing behind my chair. His frown turns into a smile.

"Nice to meet you." He says. Allie let's out a sigh of relief. "I'm Mick." He files at me.

"Mason." I say. "Actually, I was afraid to meet you. Allie prepared me for the worst so did Jupiter." Mick smiles at me.

"I bet. I'm pretty tuff. But I like Jupiter. He's nice. I guess." And then he digs into his food and doesn't speak to me again. I get up and walk to the door.

"I better go. I have to be home soon. My mom expects me."

"Okay. Nice meeting you." I hear everyone says

Allie grabs her jacket and walks out side with me. I go and lean on her car. She comes next to me and I pull her in. She leans on me and I kiss her cheek.

"That wasn't so bad." I say.

"No it really wasn't. I'm impressed. We should probably go. How much do you want to bet they are watching us right now?" She laughs.

"A lot." I reply. I lean down and kiss her on the tip of the nose. She smiles brtightly. God I love her.

"Alright. Let's go." She gets off me and we get in the car. She starts the car and we head off.
