Mistakes~ Matthew Daddario

02

At 6:30 I realise I look an absolute mess, so I turn the heat on the cooker down slightly and head to get changed. I look for an outfit that is casual, but still cute.

When I am happy with my appearance, theres a knock on the door. I run down the stairs to open it. "Hey guys, come on in."
I smile welcoming all three of them inside.
"This place is amazing!"
Em states and I grin.
"Thanks em."
I laugh as she hands me two bottle of vodka.
"For the cocktails."
She grins at me and I giggle. I lead everyone to the living room and Matt smiles at me.
"That smells amazing."
He says and I laugh.
"Thank you. I was always the only one who could cook in my family."
I grin at Dom and he frowns.
"And yet I can't bake."
I shrug and Matt grins.
"Really? My mom used to teach me all kinds of dessert recipes when I was younger."
He tells me and I smile.
"Dom tells us you draw?"
Em says and i go slightly red.
"I...yeah. I draw. But nothing special." I explain and Dom scoffs.
"Could we see any?"
Matt asks curiously and I give him a soft smile.
"My notepad may be in my handbag." I say, pulling it out.
"Here. These are just a couple I have drawn over time. I've had this notebook since I was 12, but I haven't used it in a while. So bare with me."

"Oh my god. These are amazing!"
Em screeches.
"This portrait is perfect, how do you do that?"
"I actually haven't drawn in a while."
"Why?"
Matt asks curiously. I smile sadly at him and shrug.
"I haven't had the inspiration. The baby in the picture was my best friends baby. Her name was danielle. My best friend, her name was Quinn. She had a baby young, but she loved her all the same. Her and Dani got into a car crash when I was 19. They both passed away."
I explain and Dom pulls me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry."
Matt says sadly and I shake my head. "Its okay. I've made peace with it. I just...haven't found the right inspiration yet."
"Well, I really hope you find it soon. I've never seen art like this Lydia. If this is your passion, the flame will reignite itself eventually."
Matt smiles at me and Em glances between us with a small smirk on her lips.
"I'd better check on the food. I'll be right back."
I say walking into the kitchen. After checking everything was finished, I take everything out of the oven. "Anything I can help with?"
Matt says walking into the kitchen. "Any good at making cocktails?"
I question and he grins at me. "Absolutely."
He says and I laugh. I finish dishing up while Matt makes us each a 'Woo woo' cocktail.
"Here we go."
I say placing the food on  the table. "Wow. A woman of many talents. I like it. Is there anything you can't do?"
"Act. Sing. Bake. Paint my own nails!" I say dramatically and em bursts out laughing.
"Oh before I forget. Were all going out for my birthday, i was wondering if you would join us?"
Em asks with a smile and I nod.
"Sure. When?"
"Tommorow night. We have reservations for 7pm."
Dom tells me and I nod.
"Okay."
After that, we all begin to laugh and joke and have fun. By 9 o'clock, everyone is tipsy...okay so we were completely drunk. Oops.
