*Zane is washing the dishes*

"Zane, I think I do need to go home. My mom is looking for me and I need to get home to grandpa."

*Zane nods his head*

"I'll send you home then. Your clothes should be dried by now. We leave after I finish the dishes."

*Zane drives Arissa back home*

*arrive at the James' Residence* 

*Arissa walks into the house*

*Zane follows shortly*

*mom spots Arissa*

"Ari? Ari! You're back!"

*mom runs and hugs Arissa*

"Ari. Where have you been? Are you alright?"

*grandpa hears mom and comes down the stairs*

"Arissa! You're back." 

I pulled mom away. 

"Where have you been? Do you know how much your grandpa, me, and Adam worried about you?"

"Mom, I was with Zane. Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me. If it wasn't for him, I'll probably be in bigger trouble."

*grandpa goes over to Zane and greets him*

"Mr. Bolvio. Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter. She keeps bothering you."

*Zane smiles*

"It's alright. I'm delighted to help."

*mom turns to Zane*

"Mr. Bolvio. I apologize for what I said yesterday to you. I was being irrational and spoke before thinking."

"Auntie, it's alright."

Why does grandpa and mom call him Mr. Bolvio? They're being so formal.

"You guys don't have to call him Mr. Bolvio. It's sounds too formal. We're not even in a work atmosphere. Just call him Zane, please."

*mom and grandpa nods their heads*

"Zane, to make up for what I said yesterday. Why don't you stay tonight and have dinner with us?"

Is mom really going to invite Zane for dinner? 

"Mom, Zane is busy..."

"I'd love to, auntie."

I turn to look at Zane. 

*grandpa laughs*

"Arissa. You should show Mr. Bolvio...I mean Zane, your room. While you wait for dinner."

My room? That's so embarrassing. Was it really wise to come back home?

*mom and grandpa left to do their own business*

Zane and I stood still.

"Well, aren't you going to show me your room?"

"Zane. Why did you agree to stay for dinner?"

"Because I'm your boyfriend..."

I quickly covered his mouth. 

"Shh...my mom and grandpa doesn't know."

I lead Zane to my room. 

*Zane looks around*

"Wow, your room is big."

*maid comes in*

"Miss James. Madame James would like to have a word with you."

"Zane, can you stay in here? My mom needs me."
