"Uh-uh."
“Your father and I come
back to the hotel and you're not in and then it starts
getting dark and you still aren't back! It is 12:30,
young lady and you didn't even tell us you would be gone!
We were so worried!”
“Mum, mum, I'm fine, I
was with some friends,” I shrugged.
“Friends? How can you
trust them? They could be druggies for all we know!” my
mum exclaimed.
“No, I've met them
before, they came to Australia. They are Crystals
cousins,” I lied, easily. That seemed to ease up my mum
a bit but she was still angry.
“There is no point
grounding you while we are here in America but when we go
back to Australia, you're grounded for a week,” my
mum told me. I just nodded, there was no point in making my
punishment worse.
I yawned, “Well I'm tired, so I'm going to go
to bed.” I went into the bathroom and put on my
pyjamas, when I walked out, my dad was in the room.
“Young l-” my dad
started.
“Daddy, I'm tired, can
we please talk about this tomorrow?” I mumbled. My dad
sighed in reply so I got into bed and went to
sleep.

The next day, I did get a lecture from my dad but after that,
I caught a taxi so I could meet Jesse. Once I got there, I
saw him waiting for me and I grinned. I walked to him and he
got up, kissing my cheek before pulling out the chair for me.
“M'lady,” he said.
“Hi Jesse,” I said
the grin on my face never disappeared.
“How'd it go with the
parents?” he questioned.
“Okay, when I go back to
Australia I'm grounded for a week but that's
it.”
“Mhm... well that
isn't to bad.”
“How are you
feeling?”
“I'm feeling great,
Andi, you gotta stop worrying about me. I'm not made out
of glass.”
“I know, I was
just...”
“Its fine,
beautiful.” When he called me beautiful, it made me
heart flutter and I blushed. A waitress came up to
us.
“Hi I'm Lisa, how can
I help you?” Lisa was drop-dead gorgeous and I was
surprised when Jesse didn't even look at her, his eyes
were fixed on me.
“What do you want to
drink, Andi?”
“Uh-uh... a hot
chocolate.” Jesse said his order and my order to the
girl and when she came back, giving him a piece of paper with
her number, he didn't even look at it.
He made me feel special.
