I woke up the next morning and went downstairs. "Hey," I said sleepily.
"Hiya. Oh before I forget, your going to Tre's tonight."
"Really? Where are you going?"
"... Out... "
"Who with?"
"You'll see later."
"Oh... ok then."
-Later that night-
I decided to ask Tre what to do about Justin. He would know what to do. "Hey Tre?"
"Yeah?"
"Can ask you something?"
"You already are."
I gave him a scowl. "Well... " I told him the situation.
"Woo! You're popular with the guys, aren't you?"
"Yeah well."
"I think tell the guy. I mean if he gives you hugs in front of everyone, he likes you."
"Should I take him out for a drink or something?"
"Yeah! I've got an idea."
I listened as he told me. "That's genius! I'll ask him tomorrow at school."
"Tell me how it works out."
-The next day at school-
"Hey Justin... I was wondering... did you want to come and get a drink or something tonight?"
"Yeah sure! Where should we meet?"
"Maccas."
"Seven ok with you?"
"Yep!"
"No problem, see you then!"
-That night-
We both arrived at McDonalds at the same time.
"'Ello poppet."
"G'day."
"Shall we?" Justin said, pointing to the door.
"Let's go!"
We walked into the McDonalds and ordered 2 milkshakes, to go. After getting them, we started walking and talking. It had become nightfall by the time we realized where we were going. "Hey, I've got an idea," I said, remembering Tre's plan.
"Yeah?"
"Follow me."
I showed him to the Bay Lookout, where you could see the lights of Oakland, Berkeley and San Fran. "It's beautiful, I've only ever seen the photos," I said to him.
"Yeah, it's really nice."
"Hey Justin, I've got something to tell you."
"So have I! Ladies first though."
"OK... well... how can I put it... ? I want to tell you... how much you mean to me."
"... Yeah... "
"And well... there's no other way of saying it... but... I... love you... "
Justin stood and looked at me, relieved.
"Well, what did you want to say to me?" I asked him.
"... ... . Exactly the same thing."
We moved closer, and we just couldn't help it. He kissed me, and I kissed him back. Suddenly, a car pulled up. We pulled away to have a look.
"Oh. My god," I said, surprised.
"Who is it?"
"It's... Mike."
"What's he doing here?"
I looked at him walking over. "Looks like he got the same idea as us," Mike looked at us, and started walking back, hoping that we hadn't seen him.
-Mike's POV-
Oh crap. I hope they didn't see me. "Are you ok?" she said as I got back into the car.
"... I just saw my daughter with a boy from school, and I think they saw me,"
"Doesn't she know about us?" There was a short silence in the car. "Mike..."
"What? I've been waiting for the right time to tell her."
"Well then, I think this is the right time."
I thought about this for a minute. "Ok, come on," I got out of the car, grabbed her hand and started walking towards Eliza.
-My POV-
"Hey look, he's coming over, and he's got someone with him!" Justin said surprisingly.
"Oh my god," I said. I stood up, grabbed Justin's hand and walked over to Mike.
"Mike," I said "This is... well you know him."
"How are you?" He asked Justin.
"Good," Justin replied.
"Well, I'd better introduce you. Eliza, Justin, this is Kelly,"
"Hi Kelly," We both said, simultaneously.
"Nice to meet you both," she said.
"Can we take you home?" Mike asked us.
"That would be nice," I said.
I held Justin's hand, and grabbed onto Mike's free hand as we walked to the car.
We got home from dropping everyone off. "Well, that proved interesting," I said.
"It certainly did."
"Well, good night."
"Good night."
"Hiya. Oh before I forget, your going to Tre's tonight."
"Really? Where are you going?"
"... Out... "
"Who with?"
"You'll see later."
"Oh... ok then."
