I love you...

chapter 5: Dinner date

I was still kinda fustrated with Sam about the dinner date but i knew i had to suck it up.

It was now Thursday night and The Mckinleys were coming over for dinner at 7. It was 4:30 and i still needed to finish cooking and shower and change!

I was making grilled chicken and little chopped up garlic potatoes and steamed broccoli.

I was finally done at about 5 so i went to my room to shower and change.

After showering, i went to my closet and picked out a long navy blue semi sundress. The breast part was ruffled. I picked out sparkly black sandals. I put my hair into a sock bun and put on a black shiny headband. I put on some chapstick.

I sat on bed reading until i heard the doorbell ring at about 6:45. I jumped up and walked swiftly down the stairs.

I saw Sam opening the door so i waited in the background.

Mrs Mckinley spoke first "hello dear! Wow you look lovely." She spoke so lively

Mr. Mckinley said i looked nice- well me and Sam.

Landon just stared at the ground. I wonder what was wrong with him.

I erased the thought from my head and invited them into the dinner.

Everyone complimented the meal...except Landon. I really do wonder whats wrong.

I excused myself from the table and went out onto the porch.

All of a sudden Landon was sitting beside me on the swing.

"Like following me i see." I spoke and giggled.

He just looked at me.

Then he finally spoke, "You look beautiful tonight." He looked at me.

I felt a hot sensation in my cheeks arise. I was blushing. Over a guy i just met...well he did just call me beautiful so... oh dangit im rambling again.

I couldnt speak. He just laughed at me...a good laugh though.

"Thanks." I was still blushing.

I thought back to the time he called me pretty lady in class, my first day.

I shot my head up, and looked into his big green eyes.

I pushed a small loose strand of hair behind my ear.

He looked at me with pure admiration.

"You are beautiful...so beautiful" i wanted to kiss him right then.

"I- i- i like you." He looked in love with me

"I like you too" i said

Smiling he stood up and reached out his hand.

I took it and stood up and immediatly pulled me into a hug.
