Strange Love • Steve Harrington

Dinner

"You are going to hate me." Steve said as we sat down at the park.

"Why would I hate you?"

"My parents want to meet you, and they want to make you dinner, and i said that you said yes." Steve didnt look at me. He never wanted me to meet his dad, he knew that he'll pick on me. His mother on the other hand, loves me. I grabbed his hand. "I should've told you first! I know!"

"When?"

"Tonight."

"Hey its fine. Just one night right? How bad can it be?" I shrugged off. Steve took me home. I ran to the closet, barely anything clothes. "Aunt Joyce!" I cried out. Will, El and aunt Joyce came in.

"Whats wrong?" Will asked.

"Steves parents want to meet me, they're throwing a dinner tonight and I have no clue what to wear. Can you help me? Please." I begged as i had a dress on one hand. The kids sat down on the bed. Aunt Joyce raid my closet and pulled out some options. I had a little fashion show. I stepped put with a red dress, black flats.

"That one." Will smiled. I looked at myself at the mirror. It just felt weird for me to wear a dress since i never really wear them. But just for tonight. For Steve. Aunt Joyce comes up behind me and puts a necklace on me. "You look pretty."

"You look beautiful." El smiles.

"Just perfect." Aunt Joyce fixed my hair. I took a deep breath. "He is lucky to have you." I turned back at them. They all were happy. Im so happy that i get to have them in my life again. "Now go, you're going to be late." Aunt Joyce passed me my bag.

"I'll be back-"

"Dont worry, i trust you." I kissed her goodbye, waved at the kids after i left. I got in my car and drove to Steves house. The lights in the living room were on. I slowly walked up to the door. I knocked twice and the door flew open. It was Mrs. Harrington.

"Wendy! Welcome! Please come in!" She gave me a big hug. "Its good to see you again."

"Thank you Mrs. Harrington. Its good to see you again." I smiled back at her.

"Steve!" She called him down. Steve ran down the stairs. He lifted his head and was starstruck. His eyes were glued on me. He looked amazing. A nice blue button up, with khakis, and of course his nike cortez.

"Wow." He managed to say. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you." I blushed. To this day he can make me blush. He walked up to me and gave me a kiss.

"Dinner is almost ready." Mrs. Harrington smiled as she walked away.

"You look good in dresses."

"Do I?" He nodded repeatedly. I chuckled. "I guess i should wear them more often then."

"Please." We tangled our hands together. Steves mother called out that dinner was ready. We sat down next to each other. I was facing Mrs. Harrington and Steve was facing Mr. Harrington. Mr. Harrington came in late, with a glass of whiskey.

"You must be Wendy." He said.

"Yes, its a pleasure to meet you sir." I smiled at him. He didnt say anything. Steve passed the mashed potatoes. Queen started to play in the background.
