Chapter 14

Lydia's POV

The next day at school went by quickly mostly. Me and Blake were ignoring eachother. Julia and Alessa tried to pesture me to speak to him, but i didnt.

I had seen Blake a couple other times with Nina. It hurt me but it was alright.

Sam had met me during the lunch break. He acted mostly shy and I thought that it was cute. He said that the date was at 7 in evening.

It is 5:49 right now and I am still laying wondering what I should wear. I groaned and got up from the bed and went into my closet room.

I decided to go with a comfortable yet classy dress. I took out my white dress. It came till my mid thigh and it was cute overall. I took a shower quickly and wore the dress after drying my hair.

After that I did my make up and hair without ruining the dress, thankfully. I had gone for a natural look makeup and I overall looked good.

I wore my peach pumps and then looked at the time.

6:54

Thank god I had managed to get ready in time. My hair were curled at the ends. I took one last look at myself and then made my way downstairs.

Nate and River were seated on the couch,speaking to Julia in hushed voices. As soon as they heard me, they stopped and looked in my direction.

"You look beautiful", Nate said and came to give me a brotherly hug. I hugged him back. After he released me, I went in front of everyone and twirled a little.

"I look good, don't I? " I said smugly and started posing being silly. They laughed at my actions and my phone rang.

It was Sam. I received the call. He told me that he was waiting for me outside so I bid everyone a 'goodbye' and went outside.

Sam was standing out of the gate with a sleek silver mustang. He looked handsome in his navy blue shirt and black pants. "You look beautiful." He said as soon as he saw me.

I smiled at him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "You look good too." He blushed a little and then opened the door for me like a gentleman.

I slid in and he closed the door after giving me a smile. "So where are we going?" I asked him after a while. "I know this good place where we can have Mexican food." He said.

Honestly, I didn't think that he would tell me where we were going so easily. Most boys don't.

"I like Mexican food." I said and gave him a smile. He smiled back and then we fell into a comfortable silence. He started the radio and some good music started playing.

We soon reached the place. It looked cute. It was a restaurant named 'La Mesa'. Sam parked the car and then we got out of the car.

He held it hand out for me. I took it and then we made our way into the restaurant. It shocked how almost everyone in here knew Sam.

"How does everyone know you here?" I asked as we sat down on the corner booth. "My father is a good friend of the owner. We used to come here a lot during vacations." He said.

"Ooh. " I said and looked around. It seemed really cute and cosy. Gave me a homey vibe that I loved. "This is really cute and....nice. I love it." I complimented.

He gave me a bright smile. He must be really attached.

"So tell me something about yourself." Sam insisted bringing me out of my thoughts. "Well, my parents own the Hayes Corp. and I have a good boring life." I said and grinned.

He laughed a little. "My parents own some good hotels in Europe. I am originally from Mexico. I mean my dad is from Mexico,my mom is from England." He said.

"That's..... far." I said. He smiled, "I know. They met in a collage. They fell in love immediately and got married in just 2 years."

"True love is rare these days." I say and he hummed. The waiter soon came. He ordered chicken burritos and I ordered chicken quesadella. He ordered some white wine and then dismissed the waiter.

"So, tell me about your interests." He said.

"Well, I love reading books and going to different places. It's really fun. Oh and I love partying with my group." I said.

"What group?" He asked and the waiter came and served us our wines. "Me, Alessa, Julia, Nate, River and Blake. We all know eachother since a long ass time." I said with a smile.

"Tell me about yourself." I told him and took a sip of wine. "I love painting. I have made many paintings myself. You should see them if you don't mind." He said.

I smiled and nodded, "why not." We soon fell in silence. Both consumed in our own thoughts. The waiter soon arrived with our orders.

He placed the quesadella in front of me and burritos in front of Sam. Both looked delicious. He went away after asking us if we wanted something.

I dug in immediately. I moaned when the flavors hit my taste buds. "It's amazing!" I said with a mouthful of food. Sam laughed at my behavior and replied "I know", with a mouthful of food too.

We got along really well. The rest of the conversation involved me praising the food and him smugly replying that 'he knew I was going to love the food'.

As soon as we were finished, I felt full. "Do you like ice cream?" Sam asked. "Of course, but I don't think I can eat anymore." I said.

"We will take a small cup okay? You have got to try the ice cream that I am going to make you eat." He said. I sighed and nodded. We sat in the car and stopped at a small parlour.

He took me inside again and ordered chocolate cup of ice cream because I told him that I liked it. He chose butterscotch. He handed me my cup of ice cream.

We ate the ice cream in silence, savouring the flavors. "It really is good." I said. He smiled at me. We started driving towards my house once we were done.

We reached to the gate of my house and he stopped the car. "We should go out again." He said. I nodded. He leaned in and placed a kiss on my cheek making my heart flutter.

"Bye." He said.

"Bye" I said and got out of the car. I waved at him a last time and then went inside the gate. I went inside the house. I was surprised to find the whole group seated in the living room.

"I am back bitches! " I screamed and jumped in the space between Nate and Julia.

"Language!" I heard my mother. "Shit. " I cursed under my breath.

Everyone laughed at me except Blake. I looked at him. He was looking at the screen of his phone, not paying any attention to me.

I sighed.

Idiot.
