Behind the Nerdy Exterior(on hold ...)

Family Dinner

Desiree POV

As soon as i walked in the house my brother pounced me with questions of where I was and whom with.

"Did I just see a guy's car drive away? Who was that? Where were you? You better not have been alone with him." Gabriel said with a frown on his face.

Before I could answer mom called us to dinner (thank goodness). We walked to our large dinning room and sat in our usual seats when mom and dad were home to eat with us. Dad sat at the head of the table while mom came in with the food and went to sit next to him while i sat across from her and Gabriel sat at the end of the table with a less noticeable frown still on his face.

"So how was your day you two?" Our mom said with a pearly white smile, she always seemed to be in a good mood when she was home.

"Nothing just that Desiree was on a date with a guy." He smirked knowing I was going to be questioned non-stop by dad, I wasn't to worried about her reaction she'll probably squeal she always wants me to dress up more and try to go out, while I was a daddy's girl so there was no way out of this one.

"What! Why didn't I get to meet this boy! Whats his name?" Oh no, he looked a little pissed.

"Well it wasn't a date Nicholas just took me to get something to eat since i didn't eat that much at lunch." I said calmly hoping he would cool it on the questions but that just set Gabriel off.

"What! You went out with Nicholas, the new kid? You can't go out with him, I heard he got into fights at his old school and he was basically the school bada- I mean bad guy" He starting to sound like dad.

"You can't do that I'm supposed to go out on a-" But then I stopped when I knew I said to much, well there goes keeping  the date to myself.

"I expect you to bring this boy here to meet me before you go on a date with this kid, why didn't you tell me you were dating" he ended with a sad look and, then I felt bad for planning not to tell them.

"Aw give her a break honey, we should be celebrating your first date, this is your first right? I would hate to have missed it."

"Yes this is the first."

She smiled and we finally began to eat, we had small talk here and there but I was just happy the conversation wasn't on me anymore.

After diner I walked upstairs to my room to find my phone was ringing by an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hey." a deep masculine voice greeted me and I instantly knew it was Nick.

"hey I didn't know you had my number"

"Oh yeah i got it from Annie" she would but I could get myself to be angry with her for giving my number to him. " so what are you doing Des?" another nickname.

"Well you have been invited to a interrogation from my father and brother, it'll be loads of fun." I said with sarcasm dripping from my tone.

"I guessing that both know were going on a date, huh? He said and i could picture a sexy smirk on his face.

"Yup so get ready for tommorow" I hope my brother and dad don't scare him away, I don't think it would take much convincing to get him to think i wasn't worth his time or effort to get me.

"I can't wait to see you tomorrow." He sounded so sincere I found it hard not to believe him.

"If you want to change your mind its not to late." I said not wanting him to get himself into something he didn't want.

"I wouldn't change my mind in a life time I'll see you at seven, bye beautiful."

I was shocked by what he called me, no other man has said something like that to me not including dad or Gabriel. I then replied bye in a shy tone and hung up. My cheeks were once again Scarlet.

Just then my mom walked in with a smile that just spelled out she was about to ask about him.

"So, was that Nicholas who you were talking to?" She asked with a big grin.

"Yes."

"Well, after breakfast were going to the mall to get all the supplies to get you dolled up for your first date! Ooh I can't wait, I can just imagine the drees your going to wear and your make-up, We're going to get you the cutest heels for you, I know with your long legs your going to have him drooling at your feet when I'm done with you." She rambled on and on, well I guess my days already planned, hopefully she'll forget about the make-up by tommorow but with my luck she'll remember that and new stuff to put on the agenda.
