The plan was simple enough, Steve has the car ready down the street and my mum and dad seem to be going over something in the library. I just hope tonight goes smoothly.
I imagined the place to be full of sweaty screaming people so I just decided to wear a pair of sweats and sneakers.

"Okay so you're clear on everything right?" I asked Nat checking the time.

Its 8pm

"Relax. Its not as if your parents usually just ask about you. They saw you at dinner this is your private time" Nat assured.

"Yes but I don't want any surprises"

"No problem, I'll be locked in your room and I'm a smooth liar" she winked.

"Great I have to get going" I kissed her goodbye and took my big black hoodie

I went downstairs to Mary's room as silently as possible but hit my toe on a near by table.

Owwww....where did the damn thing even come from

I screamed a little on the inside before preceding.

"And where are your sneaking off too" my dad's voiced stopped me in my tracks.

Busted

"I was going to the kitchen" I winced at how sharp my lie was.

"With sneakers on" he suspected.

"I believe you'll sneak better with sneakers on" I shrugged.

Nailed it

"Seems reasonable, so you were going to the kitchen for..?" He went on and I sent him a knowing look. "What have I told you about sweets after dinner" he scolded.

"I'm sorry but I just had to...I'm weak"

"Well since we were already going there come and assist me" he left for the kitchen.

Fuck why nooo

"With what" I asked throwing a mini fit silently behind him.

"your mum wants a healthy snack...she's always eating" he laughed.

"Well that's because she's eating for two" I humored with him.

We made a quick treat for my mum and took it upstairs for her. The room was really chilled and she was covered in blankets as she watched TV

"There you go honey" he handed her the plate with a kiss.

"Can I go now" I whined impatient .

"Oh thank God you're here...we have to tell you something" she patted a space on the bed telling me to sit.

I don't have time for this

"What's up mum" I sighed sitting down.

"I just wanted to inform you on time that we'll be having dinner with Ash and his parents tomorrow evening" she broke the news

"What! Does Ash know"

"He should" she shrugged.

"But why hasn't he told me yet"

"Well maybe he's still overwhelmed. You know his mum fainted today"

"Oh my is she okay?"
