Sarah was clipping her bra as she said "Time to go back to the mansion." I sighed and said "Sarah, do you want me to go talk to Ward, and maybe see if he becomes more accepting? Because I really, really like you and I want you to feel happy going home. Nad I'm tired if the judgemental stares I get every time I go over to work." Sarah looked down and said "I mean, I guess." "We can all pray he won't kill me." She giggled and said "My dad isn't that bad." When I drove up Rose and Ward were still outside on the patio sitting at the table. Sarah had a grin on her face and I said "Don't look like you just lost your virginity." "How do I look like I lost my virginity?" She asked. "That smile, wayyyy too happy to be with a lowlife kook like me." She laughed and kissed me promptly on the lips She grabbed my hand and we walked over together to see her parents. "Mr. Cameron," I said brushing back my hair, "I really gotta talk with you." "Okay." Wars said sitting up and crossing his arms. "I really, really like Sarah. And I wanna date her, in peace, and with your approval." "John B, you and Sarah come from different lives. You're both different, and Sarah has a different way of thinking." "Dad, I could care less about your dumb country club parties and college board of directors meetings. I don't care about the pogues vs kooks thing, I really. really like John B." She said leaning next to me. I put my arm around her waist and he replied "Sarah you just don't see the bigger picture." "What bigger picture dad? This is high school, I just wanna date the cute surfer guy who is really nice to me and treats me like a queen." Ward sighed and I said "Please Mr. Cameron, I know we don't see eye to eye on everything, but I promise I will keep your daughter safe and make her happy and continue treating her like a queen. I really like her." "Okay, if you two wanna he together then fine. Whatever, go do it." "Okay, thanks dad." Sarah said. She dragged me inside and we watched movies on the couch for awhile, with her cuddling on my chest with a fuzzy blanket on top and us fake fighting over the remote. Ward and Rose came in as she was lying on my chest, looking up at me rubbing my chin saying how I needed to shave. They walked by quickly and after they left Sarah started full on making out with me again. Her dad walked back in the room a couple minutes later and caught us making out which was super awkward, and then he said "Sarah when you're, um, finished, you need to get ready for the club party tonight. Its limoncello night." Sarah rolled her eyes and said "Okay." When he left we both laughed and I asked "Whats limoncello?" "A fancy type of vodka with lemon mixed in. Its pretty good." "No Sarah, the stupid limoncello night." Sarah laughed and said "Its another stupid party where everyone wears white and samples limoncello and theres lemons everywhere." "I better go find me a white suit then," I said, "Oh wait, I only have a white workers t shirt with stains on it, you think that will do?" Sarah hit my arm and said "John B, you're a complete goof ball." "And you love it." I replied. "I love you." She whispered. I kissed her and whispered "I love you too." It felt so nice to say it out loud. "Now we gotta make sure Rafe's old white suit upstairs fits you." "Oh no way I'm wearing that douchebags clothes." I replied. "Well you need to because I need a date." She said yanking me off the couch. I put on Rafe's suit and a yellow tie and I rocked it surprisingly well, and Sarah made me stand outside while her room while she put in her dress so her dad didn't murder me. She opened the door and she had on a white and tight, strapless cocktail dress. She pulled me in and promptly shut the door behind me. "Can you zip me up?" She asked turning around. I looked at her bra as I slowly slid up the zipper, making sure not to catch her hair. I texted my dad where we were going and much to Ward's disconnect, I hopped in the car with them to the stupid kook party. When we arrived it looked much like midsummer's did, except this time everyone was in white outfits and there were lemons hanging all over the place. Sarah and I danced for a little and acted like complete maniacs when Intentions came on by Justin Bieber, making Ward give us a serious stare down. We snuck over to the limoncello table and popped a couple shots, and then an old lady in a very ugly white beaded dress walked over. "Sarah, how have you been darling?" "I'm doing great, how are you Mrs. Karlisle?" she replied. "I'm getting by, it's just been hard with Tom passing away last month." "Oh I know, I'm so sorry." Sarah replied. "So why did you bring the gardener?" The woman asked, now looking at me straight in the eyes. "Oh, um, you know, just trying to do something nice." The woman nodded and walked away. "Sarah what the hell was that? Just trying to do something nice?" "John B Mrs. Karlisle is so judgmental." "Sarah you everyone here is judgemental. What are you embarrassed of me?" "No, its not like that, I mean, it's just.. it's complicated." Sarah said. "I thought we already discussed this, we agreed to go public, and what, now I'm just the gardener you're sneaking around with?" "John B, no." Sarah said. I put the shot glass on the table and started walking away. "You know what Sarah, I don't fit in your little world, and I especially don't agree with the sneaking around. I'm out of here."
