I soothed my hands down my jeans as I slipped my feet into my black boots. I went for comfort tonight.
Jeans, boots and my orange blazer.
“You look good babe”. Jake spoke as he slipped his arm around my waist.
“I feel a little nervous”. I had no idea why seeing as we were already over the hard part. Tonight was just dinner.
“It’s just dinner, right?”.
I nodded.
“Then you have nothing to be nervous about”. He kissed the top of my head as his arm fell from my waist.
“I’ll meet you downstairs”.
I let out a big breath. He was right it was just dinner and yet I felt a little sick at the thought of it. I grabbed my purse from the closet and gave myself another once over in the mirror.
I decided no make-up was needed and I left my hair out. I switched the light off as I made my way downstairs. Jake and my dad were laughing at something both with a beer in their hand.
I liked their relationship or at least where their relationship was going. I always feared they wouldn’t get on.
“What’s so funny?”. I asked going to the fridge and grabbing a bottle of water.
“Just going over last night’s patrol”. Jake smiled.
“We may have pranked the young ones”
“We scared them a little”.
My dad added. “We have to keep them on their toes for when real situations happen”.
“You guys are mean”. I frowned. “Do you know if my auntie Claire is going to be here tonight?”.
“Doesn’t look like anyone is home”. Jake spoke.
“Yeah”.
I frowned. “I’ll give her a call she’s maybe just running late”. It didn’t even ring, it went straight to voicemail, but I didn’t bother leaving a message.
“Anything?” My dad asked.
“Straight to voicemail”.
“Should we just grab dinner and go home, or do you want to go out for dinner since we’re all dressed?”. My dad asked.
Was I worried that they weren’t home? Had something happened?
“Let’s just go home and order in”. Hopefully everything was okay, and she would give me a call later.
