Chapter 52: "Your stepdaddy does~"

-AMANDA-

"Darling, you look wonderful!" My mom compliments me and pats my head.

"Agreed! You look like a model! That hot and rare beautiful woman you see in a Vogue cover!" Courtney smiles and lifts her thumbs up. I unsurely lift my thumbs aswell. -She would've killed me later If I left her hanging...-

"There are not enough words to describe you, Amybear." Nath grins, making me smile. -Yes, that's Nathan for you. The sweet gentleman bro.-

"Thank you guys." I flush, making them laugh.

"It's nice having supportive friends." My mom comments.

"We are siblings, mommy." Courtney grins.

My mom smiles widely and hugs, more like squeezes Court's head. "Of course, you are."

-My bestfriends have always been mom's 'children'. I don't know why, but I guess it's just a mom thing.-

I stare at my mirror reflection. -It doesn't look like my ordinary style...- I am wearing a fitted and elegant black dress, along with black high heels that could easily break. My mom wanted me to wear them so badly.

"Do I really have to wear this?" I look at her.

She sighs as she checks me out. "You are amazing sweetheart. It really suits you!"

"Can't I just wear flat shoes?" I really dislike the feeling. It's like the heels are going to break any second and I can't even walk properly with them.

"It's all perfect, honey. It'll turn heads!" She says.

"Yeah, I bet it will. When I trip over my own feet, that's for sure!" I sarcastically say. Nath and Court let out their dorky laughter.

My mom playfully rolls her eyes at me. "I remember that time, where I used to wear that dress for my designer party. Oh~ what a wonderful moment that was! And now look at my little baby girl, wearing it!" -Oh mom...I need to say something quick before I bawl my eyes out.-

"Mom, are you sure you aren't coming with me? Blake invited you all." I ask and hope she will come.

She shakes her head. "I'm sorry. Miles doesn't like a big crowd, a reason to make me stay and your dad is going to work."

-Unfortunately, I do have to go alone. I'm so nervous! I've already been in his home once... So today is the day, huh?...-

"What about you guys?" I look over to Courtney and Nath. -They came to help me out with my outfit, since I suck at styling myself. Go ahead, laugh all you want my peeps. Did I use that word right?...-

"Sorry Amy, I don't like rich people. I think it's better for me to stay at home." Courtney weakly smiles and Nath nods.

"You know, she gets nervous and all. Who knows, maybe she'll collapse?" Courtney slaps his biceps, making us laugh.

-Wow... What 'SUpPOrTIvE' friends I have...-

"Collapse? Seriously Nath?" She groans and my mom sends me a small wink. -Aww, yes mom. They are cute.-

He laughs and gently hugs her. "Yeah. You are so unpredictable-" She quickly pinches his flesh. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay, I take it back, ma'am!"

Courtney looks pleased and smiles. "Good boi!" -Pushing cute aside, this relationship is kinda toxic!-

My mom hurries to the door, after hearing the door bell. I walk down the stairs with Nath and Court behind me. -Guess who came? Yes, It's Mr. Egoistic.-
