Closer

Arianna's POV

so it was finally saturday. Luke had texted me the night before telling me that he would pick me up at 6:30 pm and we would go to dinner.

so all day, I sat around and watched tv and ate some chips. finally it hit four o'clock.

to be completely honest, i dont consider this a full on date because Luke doesn't like me back. So If I dont want to get heartbroken, I have to make him like me. And this date could be my only chance.

I took a quick shower and stepped out smelling like vanilla. Then i dried myself off, went to my room, and pulled out a navy blue above the knee dress with a brown, thin, leather braided belt. I also put on some light brown sandles showing off my pink toenails. <lml toenails are gross>

Then I went to the bathroom and pulled my still wet hair into a messy bun to keep it out of my face for my makeup. I applied some light foundation and powder, and light grey eyeshadow, winged liquid eyeliner, and tons of black mascara.

After blowdrying my hair, I curled my blond hair and let it fall in big beachy waves down my back.

I was ready.

I checked the time. 6:15. Perfect timing.

I grabbed my phone, money, drivers license though I had no keys, and then i went downstairs.

My mom was home for once, eating dinner at the table with my dad who was back from Orlanda, Florida.

"Where are you going so dressed up?" Dad asked.

"Out." I said without looking at them.

"Dont be ignorant, answer your father." My mother clipped.

"Fine. I'm going on a date with Lucas We ride the bus together."

My gracious mother slams down her fork.

"I have had enough of this Arianna Noelle. I sent you on the bus as a punishment, NOT SO YOU COULD GET COZY WITH SOME DELINQUENT BOY!!!" She hollared.

"well look whose fault that is." i said in a sarcastic voice."

"Rose maybe it is good for her. she-" my dad started.

"Don't start with me Jacob!" My mom yelled.

Turning to face me, my mother sneered. "I will be meeting this Lucas boy before you go anywhere. And if he has a single. hair. out of place, darling, you can keep your dressed up little butt up in that room of yours."

I glared at her.

Just as she opened her mouth to speak again, the doorbell rang.

I briskly walked to the doors and opened them.

I almost threw up.

Luke looked so good. He had on black skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a leather jacket. His hair looked smooth and had a little gel in it. He looked perfect.

"Hey." He said. "You look nice."

I blushed and smiled. "You too."

I heard heels clicking on the floor behind me and my mom appeared.

"So you're Luke?" She said in a monotone voice.

"Yes ma'am! nice to meet you." He smiled and stuck out his hand, a gesture that my mother didn't return.

"Have her back by 10 or I will make sure you never see her again." She said. With that, she turned around and stomped back to the kitchen.

I stepped outside, embarrassed. "Sorry about her... she just cant believe I'm finally going out with someone." I said.

"It's cool." Luke reached into his pocket as we walked to his car and pulled out a pack of cigarettes followed by a lighter.

I groaned.

"What?" He said looking at me.

"You smoke?" I groaned.

Luke shrugged. "Not majorly. And before you think or say anything, I'm not addicted."

I rolled my eyes.

As i looked at him driving and smoking, i came to the realization that he actually looked really hot doing it.
