Cupid's Arrow

Ch. 4 Dinner With the Boss

Hey guys, I had made this chapter before but it didn't publish and when I came back it was all gone so I needed to re-write it. :( Anyways, hope you enjoy it! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was currently sitting on my bed with my iHome on full blast listening to Neon Trees - Everybody Talks. "IT STARTED WITH A WHISPERRR, AND THAT WAS WHEN I KISSED HERRRR AND THEN SHE MADE MY LIPS HURRRTT!" I scream/sang. My door opened and my mom screamed "TURN THAT DOWN!"

"NEVERRR!" I yelled back. This is what I like about my mom, I could kid around with her and she wouldn't mind... unless it was something important. She chuckled and walked over to the iHome and lowered the volume. I giggled and she said "Ale get ready my boss and two of my co-workers are coming for dinner and I need to get everything set, they'll be here at 8 o'clock, of course you can go to you're dad's if you like."

"No it's ok mom." I replied.

I looked over at my iPod and read 7:22. I jumped up from bed and ran in the bathroom. I stripped my clothes off and jumped in. I washed my body and hair and quickly came out. By now it was 7:39, I jogged to my closet and went through the drawers until I found a nude bra and a nude lace pantie. I then proceeded to look for clothing. I decided on a floral bustier with high waisted studded shorts and nude flats. I walked towards my vanity table and combed my hair. I let it down and made a waterfall braid across my hair. Then I picked out a set of peach earrings with tiny diamonds around the back and of course my gold heart necklace with diamonds, I also added a peachy nude lipstick. My necklace was a gift from my grandma when I was little so I never take it off. I looked at the time again 7:48. Phew, at least I wasn't late.

I walked downstairs and helped my mom with the table. "Wow mija you look good!" My mom said. Have I ever mentioned my family is half latin. Yeah, I know Spanish. My mom is from Mexico while my dad is from Italy. "Thanks mom." I replied with a smile. The doorbell made a ring noise letting us know there were there. I ran to the door saying "I'll get it!" I opened the door and there stood a blond lady probably in her 30's, and dirty blond guy about my age with light green eyes. I grinned and said "Welcome." "Patricia, Jonathan, welcome!" My mom said with excitement.

"This is my daughter Alejandra, Alejandra this is Patricia and Jonathan Del Conde." She added motioning to everyone as she said their name. I smiled. Then, there was a knock at the door I turned around and opened the door.

There was a lady in her 30's also, her hair was brunette and she had brown eyes. She kind of reminded me of Darren... NO stop thinking about him, he chose to be an ass, he doesn't deserve your thoughts. My mom introduced me to Sandra and we walked over to the dining room and sat down. "My son is running a little late, he'll be here in a while I'm sorry." Sandra said."Oh it's ok Sandra." My mom said. We began our small talk and except for Jonathan and I. We were just there sitting awkwardly next to each other. The doorbell rang again, I was about to get it but my mom beat me to it. I sat back down. "Welcome!" I heard my mom say. "Good evening Mrs. Hillins." Said the voice. Wait, that voice sounds familiar. I was trying to think of where I have heard that voice before when my mom came in followed by Darren. Is it to late to go to my dad's?

My mom motioned for Darren to sit next to his mom and me... Fuck. Once again everyone started their small talk and now it was Jonathan, Darren, and I who were sitting there awkwardly. So, my choices are: Talk with Jonathan even though you don't know him, or talk with Darren even though he clearly stated that he wanted nothing to do with you cause you're 'the same as every other girl in the school'. Let's go with Jonathan.
