The Bad Boy with the Black Bow Tie.

Chapter Eighteen.

My mum is rather hard to please, think that’s why she probably wants to see him again, check him over once more. Although she was pretty smitten with him, perhaps she fancies him. Ew. I shuddered at the thought of my mum fancying the guy I’m dating and replied to Aria.

I know, unbelievable right! And something else that is unbelievable is that our second date is starting with my mum! He’s coming over for Sunday lunch -_- x

I smiled as a text popped up from Cooper, I grinned as I read it.

On my way baby, see you in a bit J<3xx

I looked down and realised I was still in my towel! I jumped up ran to my wardrobe and grabbed my favourite pair of jeans and a t-shirt, nothing too fancy. I glanced in my mirror before leaving my room, sorted out my hair and then made my way downstairs. Downstairs my whole family were watching Friends on the TV, my favourite TV programme ever! I plonked down in between my mother and brother on the sofa while Mike sat on the armchair. It was the episode where Ross and Rachel were still fighting on if they’d been on a break or not.

“We were on a break!” Ross shouted on the TV as the doorbell rang. I jumped up and answered it. Cooper was standing there quite smartly dressed for Sunday dinner. He was wearing jeans, a plain grey t-shirt with a lumberjack’s shirt opened over it, and he smiled his amazing smile, as I looked him up and down.

“Like what you see?” he said doing a little twirl. I grinned and before I could say anything he spoke again.

“Thought so” he grabbed me around the waist and pecked me on the cheek as my mother got up from the sofa to have a nose.

“Oh hello Cooper, was wondering who had Scarlett at the door for so long” she said smiling at us, Cooper still hadn’t let me go. I looked up at him then looked down at his arms, he let go.

“Sorry haha” he said looking down at his feet nervously.

“Dinner’s going to be about ten minutes, take a seat in the living room” my mother said pointing at my stepfather and brother in the living room, Mike smiled and waved.

“Sit by me!” my little brother said slapping the empty space on the sofa next to him. Cooper walked towards the sofa and I went to take a seat on the armchair on the other side of the room. Before I could Cooper grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit on his lap next to my brother, I flushed red. Mike smiled at me in the corner of my eye, Sam was just jealous as he tried to get Cooper’s attention. I rolled my eyes and giggled as Cooper and Sam were in full conversation over Pokémon. My mother got up to check on the food and after a few minutes, she shouted to us that food was ready. I got up off Cooper’s lap and grabbed his hand to pull him up and pulled him to the kitchen, where my stepfather and mother were plating up the food.

“I’ll help you with that” Cooper said taking a finished plate of my mother. I grabbed a plate and leaded him into the dining room, I put the plate I was carrying in front of my brother, then Cooper put the plates he was holding on my placemat and his, then we both sat down. My parents came in soon after and we all dug into our food.

After our plates and all the small chitchat around the table finished, Cooper was really polite and thanked my parents for the meal.

“Thank you so much for the meal, now if you wouldn’t mind I’d like to take your daughter out” he said smiling at my mother; my mother just beamed a huge grin at him.

“Make sure she’s back by ten” Mike said with a stern face.

“Oh what the hell, give her till eleven, you kids enjoy you” my mother said giving evils at Mike then turning back to us and grinning rather weirdly as we walked out the front door.

“So where are you taking me, Mr kissing my parents arse” I said grinning at Cooper, his mouth opened into an ‘O’ shape.

“Excuse me?” he said in mock horror.

“What are you up to Mr Cooper?” I said cocking my head to one side trying to work him out.

“Oh wouldn’t you like to know” he said picking me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as he leant me against the side of his car. He looked me in the eyes before leaning in for a strong passionate kiss; my hands moved up to his hair, I started to tug at random strands. He pulled away and looked at me.

“What are you doing?” he said.

“I don’t know, I seen it in films…” I said taking my hands away from his hair.

“No don’t stop, it’s nice, I was just wondered where you’d learnt it from, I thought you were innocent” he winked at me and then moved my hands back to his hair. He pulled away again a few minutes later.

“Actually we really should go, we’re going to be late” he said smiling.

“Late?” I said confused.

“Yes late, now get in the car” he put me down on the pavement and opened the car door for me, I slid in. He walked around the car and got in the other side.

“Let’s go” he grinned, put the car in gear and we drove off.
