November 19... two days ago Elizabeth accepted Henry's advances and now were going to have their first date! Henry was very excited and you could tell. He always had a smile on his face. Tonight was the night. When they finished their homework and their work shift they went home to get ready. ———— At the Thornton's home... Elizabeth's mother was curling her hair for her date with Henry. She was wearing a knee-length black dress with a black lace cover that was also knee length, a denim jean-jacket, high heel military boots, her compass locket that Daniel and Abigail-Isabelle gave her when she graduated eighth grade, and gold hoop earrings. When her mother was finished she sat down in the chair next to her vanity, put her hands on her shoulders, rested her chin on top of her hands, and smiled. "Perfect." Briar Rose said, "simply perfect." She put her hairspray on her hair so that it would hold "Like I always say," stated Mrs.Thornton slipping into her southern accent "a good curl is the key to success." ————— Downstairs... Henry was sitting with Mr.Thornton, who had overprotective Daddy issues. What made it extremely awkward was that Elizabeth wasn't joking about having six other Dads. All of her military uncles "dads" were sitting in the living room arms folded staring at Henry.
Elizabeth was just about to descend the stairs when her grandmother Josefina stopped her. "Ay! El Niña! I have to tell ju something before ju go," Abuela Thornton said as she ran up to catch up with Elizabeth, she grabbed her hands, looked her in the eyes and smiled. "Ju look absolutely beautiful." She said brushing Elizabeth's cheek with the side of her hand causing Elizabeth to smile. "I know that you don't have the best track records when it comes to boys, but if he tries anything, or doesn't treat ju with respect, or doesn't treat ju the way a real man should you advocate for yourself Ay?" Elizabeth nodded thinking about her last relationship, when Daniel caught him.
Her mother came up putting her hands on Lizzie-Anne's shoulders before continuing, "but he's not her anymore so you need to say something or do something like yell 'stop' or 'don't touch me'"
"But if ju need me to I'll spring into action!" Said Abelua getting into a fighting formation.
Elizabeth laughed and said, "thank you guys but I can handle it."
"And, jour beauty is jour weapon. While ju use this against him jou'll make him think that he's in charge of the relationship, but really, ju are."
"Why can't I let him know that I'm in charge?" Asked Elizabeth.
"Oh, no, because that will make them so eh sad." She replied, shaking her head and talking in a sad tone. Elizabeth smiled and nodded for her Abulea's sake but when she was out of eyesight she shook her head and rolled her eyes. 'Classic Abuelita' Elizabeth thought as she made her way down the stairs. She saw Henry looking handsome as ever and as he smiled at her she couldn't help but growing a little weak in the knees. But when she saw her uncles as well as her Dad she instantly thought 'oh no.'
Henry gave Elizabeth a white lily and she thanked him, kissed him on the cheek again and hugged him and he hugged back. "Awww, our little baby is all grown up." Said Elizabeth's uncle Andrew 'Andy' Erickson.
