L O L I T A ' S National Anthem (COMPLETED ✔️)

T I R I N G // 35

I'm having dinner at the glamorous glittering Ritz hotel with my family

Sophie begged me to come and reluctantly I put on my tuxedo and hopped in my Mercedes

"Stephanie tells me that you've met someone," mum -step mum that is- says cheekily sipping on her third glass of bubbly champagne

I shoot Stephanie an icy glower before replying carefully

"Maybe I have maybe I haven't, does it make a difference?"

"Well of course it makes a difference; you're practically a loner," dad jokes chuckling heartily

I haven't seen in a couple of months and I don't regret it

Rolling my eyes I gulp down my ice cold water

Mum and dad continue probing me about my mysterious lady but I stay tight lipped

Stephanie decides to join in while Sophie attempts to rebuff them and change the conversation

Irritation and boredom seep into my bones and I depart before anyone suggest desserts

Dryly I hug dad goodbye and give mum a peck on the cheek

I say bye to Stephanie curtly before squeezing Sophie goodbye and kissing her softly on the cheek

Picking up my phone I call her

"Come tonight, yeah?" I state tired and defeated

All I want to do is get away from my family and their listless conversations

All I want to do is get lost in her mind

All I want to do is get lost in each other's feelings that we try to ignore
