I like your shirt.

I like your shirt.

He likes your freaking Guns N Roses shirt.

"Honey, are you okay?" I heard Mom ask. "What?" I glanced at Mom and gave her a confused look. "I asked if you're okay? You've been staring at your shirt for a while now" She said with a worried tone. "Yes, Mom." I assured her I'm fine, well I hope so. She nodded and began to go out of my room when I remembered I have to ask her about Marco.

"Mom! I have to ask you something." She stopped and faced me with a smirk. Huh? "Let me guess, you asked a random guy to be your boyfriend until I changed my mind?" Ho-how did she figure that out? My eyes are wide open with my mouth hanging open. 

"How did you-" she didn't let me finish by saying "How did I figure that out? I know you're gonna have a plan. Of course, you're my daughter. I know you more than anybody." She gave me a genuine smile and I gave one back. Typical Mom. Then I remembered Marco.

"But Mom, is it okay if I bring him here tomorrow?" I asked, hoping she would agree. She gave me a smile and nodded. Oh, thank goodness. 

"You have to ask Dad too, but be careful, he's strict. Good luck, Olivia." she kissed my forehead and went out of my room. Oh no, I forgot about Daddy. I have think of a way to make him approve. While I was "brainstorming", I heard my phone beep. I got my phone and answered it.

"Hello?" Who could this be?

"Hey, it's Marco." Oh, it's just Marco.

"Why did you call?" I asked.

"What time am I going to meet your parents?" he asked, ignoring my question. Psh. Rude.

"7 PM, bye." I replied. As I was to hung up, when I heard his voice.

"Wait!" he shouted like I was far away from him like I was at the Atlantic Ocean.

"WHAT?" I shouted back, annoyed. I narrowed my eyebrows.

"What's your address? he asked. I face-palmed myself. Oh right, I forgot to tell him that. Psh, sorry then.

I told him my address and hung up. I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 4 PM. I went back to "brainstorming" a plan for Dad to agree and stayed at my room until it was 7.

I opened my eyes. Huh. I didn't notice that I already slept for 4 hours. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. "You are uh-ugly" I said to myself and lift my middle finger. 

"KATHERINE, YOUR VISITOR IS HERE!" I heard Dad scream. And the way he said the word "visitor" doesn't sound good. I went to my dressing room and changed into a floral dress with pink flats. I went downstairs and saw Dad and Marco talking at the door. Dad's impression looks.. dangerous?

"Dad! I'm here." I called Dad while he let Marco in. 

I was still at the stairs at that time. "Hi again, Marco." I greeted him. "Hi again, princess." he held my hand and kissed it. My eyes widen and cheeks turned red. Here he goes with his moves again. Sneaky bastard. 

We stared at each other for I don't know how when I heard Mom. "Dinner's ready!" She shouted which caused us to break our stares. We both blushed hard and went to the table.

Dad keeps giving Marco this deadly glances and Marco looks uncomfortable. 

THIS IS AWKWARD. 

"Good evening, everybody." Mom greeted. That's what I love about Mom, she's always the ice-breaker. 

"Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Holt." Marco tried to smile to Mom and Dad. 

Mom and I started to eat but Dad and Marco isn't. "Okay, Marco. I'm going to ask you some questions and you have to answer them ALL right so you can get my approval" Dad said. "Okay, sir." Marco said in a nervous tone. I don't like where this is going.

"What is Olivia's favorite food?" Dad asked.

"Ice Cream Sandwich." Marco answered.

"What is Olivia's favorite color?" Dad asked.

"Sky Blue." Marco answered.

"What is her second name?" Dad asked.

"Nancy." Marco glanced at me and smiled.

Daddy was surprised he got it all right. Neither was I. I didn't tell him those. We're not even close. Dad made his hands intertwine and looked at Marco with a serious face.

"If you answer this right, you pass." he stopped but continued. "What is her worst fear?" Dad asked.

Marco was hesitating at first but eventually said those four words that made me froze.

"Falling in love again/"
