Now You See Me

The Right Cocktail

What if your parents are home? Emma asked Kyle. Emma and Kyle are heading Kyle's home from their date from the movies. 

It's Friday, of course, they are home. Kyle laughed. "Why does that matter?

What if they hate me? Emma bit her bottom lip. 

They won't hate you. Kyle smiled. 

"How do you know that?"

Because there's nothing to hate. He gave Emma a peck. 

Kyle opened the door with his key as Emma took a deep breath and walked in with Kyle. 

Kyle's home! A little six-year-old boy ran towards his big brother. 

Hey Kevin. Kyle smiled at his little brother, still holding Emma's hand. 

Kevin looked up at Emma and smiled "Hello."

Hey. Emma smiled back. 

Are mom and dad here? Kyle asked.

Kevin pointed towards the kitchen. Kyle started walking towards the kitchen with Emma at hand. 

"Hey, Kyle." Emma saw Kyle's mom who had strawberry blonde hair and light olive eyes, like Kyle's. She then looked over at his dad who had dark brown hair, like Kyle's and light eyes. 

This is Emma. Kyle smiled at his girlfriend. "Emma, this is my mom and dad and you've already met Kevin. "

Finally, you bring her over here. Kyle's mom smiled. I'm Maria and this is John."

Nice to finally meet you, Emma. John said. Kyle was right: he really had lost the accent. 

Kyle, of course, told his parents about Emma as if Emma was really his real girlfriend and there wasn't the whole messed up plan. They didn't know anything about that. All they knew was that April and Emma didn't get along. 

"Well, We're going downstairs to my room. Kyle told his parents. 

Do you want anything to eat or drink? Maria offered. 

 We ate popcorn at the movies and got Ice cream from the mall. Kyle said. 

Maria frowned, "That's not dinner, Kyle."

Kyle turned to Emma, "Do you want anything, Em?"

I'm fine. Emma said quietly. 

See? Now, we can go downstairs, see you guys later. Kyle said. 

It's nice to meet you. Emma said as they smiled at her and Kyle and Emma walked out of the kitchen. Kyle opened the door to the staircase leading to Kyle's room.

That went well. Kyle laughed after closing the door. 

I was so nervous. Emma admitted. 

"I know, you were basically killing my hand." 

Emma giggled. But as soon as she could see Kyle's room and she gasped. In the middle was a huge king-size bed, next to it was a desk with a computer (which looked more expensive than the one that she owned.) She also saw a 39" LED Smart TV, a fireplace, and a counter at the side of the room with a mini-fridge. The walls were of wood and a beige carpet for the floor. 

Emma stopped walking and just stared at her boyfriend. "This is your room?" 

No, this is my brother's room. Kyle joked. "Yes, it's mine. Are you coming or what?"

 Emma walked slowly down the stairs. "We've been going out like 2 months and you haven't brought me here yet?"

Kyle shrugged and walked to the far end of his room, behind the counter to the mini-fridge. 

"Beer?"  

 You can have a beer? Emma raised her brow.  

Kyle nodded, "Yep."

"Your parents let you?"

My parents don't know. "They don't go in the room unless it's to call me for dinner or something, but they don't go to my fridge."

No, Thank you. Emma said looking around. 

"Why?"

"Because I don't drink."

Ok. Kyle put both beers back in the fridge and walked to his girlfriend. 

He turns around and then gave her a kiss. "Your room is definitely better." Emma laugh.

"For kissing you mean?" Emma nodded. "Yep, no offense to your room but this is my new favorite make-out place."

How many girls have you brought to your room? Emma raised a brow. 

It'd be better if I don't know to answer that question. Kyle laughed. "But I can tell you honestly that it was never this good before." Emma smiled. That's all she really wanted to hear. Kyle walked to the desk and held up a camera. 

"Ready?"

Why? Whenever I see pictures of you in a group it seems as if you are the only one in the picture. You hog the spotlight.

"I do not."

Fine, we'll take them together. Kyle said placing the camera on the desk. 

"Sit on the bed, I need to frame a shot."

As long as you promise not to take a picture of me alone. Emma crossed her arms across her chest. 

"Ok, I promise."

Good. Emma sat down on the bed. 

Emma and Kyle spent the rest of the night taking pictures and making out. They spent time talking about things and some personal ones too.
