We are going to Joey's house. His dad has invited us for lunch. I am a little nervous to see Joey. A little nervous about what his dad would say about me quitting the job. A little nervous about my mom finding out. I haven't told her yet. She's gonna find out anyway so why ruin her little moment of happiness.

We arrived at Joey's huge mansion and went inside. We met Mr. Mercado and i looked around but Joey was nowhere to be seen. Good. I think? We sat in the living room and then i just got really bored listening to mom and Mr. Mercado's old stories. So i got up and decided to walk out to the beautiful patio they have. I was just walking here and there looking at the pool from afar, when...

"Boo!"

A voice from behind startled me and i jumped and squealed. A little. I turned around and it was Joey. He was laughing.....and holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

"What the hell Joey? You scared me." I furrowed my eyebrows at him. He just shrugged and offered me the bouquet of flowers. I stared at it and then at him.
"What?" I asked.

"Take them." He simply said.

"Why?" I crossed my arms.

"I got them for you." He smiled. I laughed.

"Did you hit your head or something? Are you alright?" I said sarcastically.

"Look.....I just wanted to say sorry. Okay?" He bit his lip and handed me the flowers. I was a little surprised. I mean. It's Joey. JOEY! He got me flowers? Awwwwww. No boy has ever in my whole life given me flowers. Not even a petal. I am touched. I hesitated for a second but then took the flowers and smiled a little.
"And please continue your job. I'd really like that." He smiled too.
