I was busy trying to make dinner and desert perfect. Yesterday I spent the whole day cleaning everything make sure the house looked its best. I made angolotti piemontesi alla moda di asti for dinner to go with a Cabernet Sauvignon. For dessert I made some Tiramisu . Dinner seemed to be perfect. I was now setting the table, everything had to be perfect. David's mother was coming for dinner and I wanted to make an amazing impression on her. They do say first impressions are important, and this one was extremely important. I dressed in black slacks with a peach colored blouse. I had my hair in a bun that looked messy but great. I had diamond earrings, a silver watch, and a pearl necklace on for accessories. For makeup I had a pale pink lipstick, light pink blush, and eyeliner on. I was so nervous. I was meeting David's Mother . The doorbell rang and I took two deep breathes and answered the door.

There was Dave in a charcoal gray suit with his mother in a red dress. David's mother was a beautiful woman for her age. Dark gray thick beautiful hair, laugh lines, dark brown eyes (that looked like David's), natural tan skin, and about five foot six. "Hello Dave, ." I said with a smile while letting them in. Dave in his natural deep smooth voice said," Hello Lilly." He then introduced His mother and I to each other," Mama, this is my girlfriend Lilly, Lilly this is my mother Maria." With a smile I put my hand out to shake Maria's hand and said,", it's a pleasure to meet you." What happened next shock me. She pushed my hand away and hugged me saying," Rossi's don't shake hands, and stop with the Mrs. Rossi , call me Maria. And it's great to meet you too Lilly." With a bigger smile I hugged her back and said," Ok Maria." I then I asked Maria," Maria, I hope you'll like dinner tonight I made Angolotti piemantesi alla moda di asti for dinner and for dessert I made Tiramisu." Maria and Dave smiled, and Maria said," I think this is going to be a lovely dinner." I smiled but I could see the hint of doubt in Maria's eyes. I guess she doubted I could make edible Italian food.

Dinner seemed to be going good so far…I think. I mean Maria complimented my cooking and she was smiling. Dave wasn't that much help I guess. I mean he was smiling the whole dinner, but did that mean dinner was going good? "What do you do Lilly?" Maria asked while we were eating. Oh no, we moved on from the mindless chatter part to the question part. Trying to hide how nervous I was , I answered, " I'm a doctor at Georgetown University, I mainly work in the E.R. though ." Maria smiled and nodded while she asked," Do you like it?" I nodded and said," I love it. I mean I love that I get to help people and I use science. I mean there are a few times that the job is hard and seems dim, but I still love it." Maria just smiled and ate some more. I knew the harder questions were going to be coming up soon. "So Lilly how did you meet my Davey?" Maria asked. Smiling nervously I answered," My sister is a co-worker of his, and we met through not the best circumstances. See I met him when my sister was shot." Maria's smile faded a bit and said,"Oh." I nodded and continued to eat. Maria then asked," How old are you Lilly?" That question made me extremely nervous. I mean what if she did mind the age difference? I still answered it anyways," I'm twenty-nine, Maria." She nodded and made a small "Hmm" sound before she asked," That's quite an age gap, I mean my Davey is fifteen years your senior. Does the age Gap bother your family?" Still hiding behind my smile I answered," My sister doesn't care about and she knows Dave also, my brothers , when I told them about Dave, don't mind as long as I'm happy." Please don't let her ask about my parents, that would make dinner awkward and tense. Please don't let her ask about my parents , please don't let her ask about my parents. I repeated over and over hoping it she wouldn't ask. My hopeful wishing was useless. "What does your parents think?" Maria asked. "Um..uh.. My parents are no longer living." I answered quietly. Why did she have to ask? I mean I know it's been years but, it still hurts. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Lilly." Maria said just as quietly. I nodded and said hoping that she couldn't see the tears in my eyes, "It's alright Maria you didn't know." Dinner was quiet for a little while before the silence was broken into mindless chatter. Dinner was over and it was time for dessert. Dessert was also filled with mindless chatter. About three hours later David and Maria left. After I cleaned the dining room and kitchen I went to bed.

I woke up to my alarm blasting " 21 guns" by Green Day. I got dressed in black skinny jeans, a black Green Day T-shirt, and a black tie with a white skull at the bottom of it. I decided to wear my black converses with it. I just put eyeliner , eye shadow, and lip gloss on. After getting ready I went to make a quick breakfast for me. While I was about to make breakfast I heard a knock on my door. Confused I went to answer it. When I opened the door I was shocked to see Frankie there with two duffle bags at her feet. Shocked and smiling I asked her," Not that I'm glad you're here, but what are you doing here?" Smiling her signature Frankie smile she answered," Well I thought that I would come a few days early for the concert so I can spend time with you , and so I can meet your wonderful David." She ended her sentence with a laugh. I smiled and hugged her. I brought her in and showed her the guest room.
After getting Frankie settled in I sent Dave a text warning him that Frankie was at my house. I also warned him to be prepared for any question and I mean any question when he meets her.

"Frankie I'm going to the grocery store to get groceries. Do you need me to get anything?" I asked loudly while I was getting ready to go. I jumped a little when I heard Frankie's voice close answering me," If you could get me skittles and some Smirnoff Ice you would be fabulous." I nodded and Hugged her. "Well I'll be back shortly, and remember Dave and Penelope have keys to my house , so don't freak out if they or if the team stops by with them." Frankie nodded, and I left to the store. It was fifteen minutes into my shopping trip when I got a call from Dave. "Hey baby." I answered smiling. "Hello Cara." Was the reply that Dave said in his rich smooth voice. Smiling I asked, "How has your day been so far?" Dave's baritone chuckle filled my ears before he answered, "It's been calm, I've been doing nothing but paperwork." "Well I know how dreadful paperwork can be" I said with a slight giggle. Shyly I asked Dave," Um would you mind meeting Frankie tonight ? That is if you want to and can." Dave's baritone voice answered with," If we don't get a case, I'll meet her. " Then he asked," Should I be ready to have the best friend test?" Laughing I answered," Yeah, just to be warned Frankie is one of a kind, and be prepared for any type of question, because she might ask it." Dave and I said our goodbyes , and I finished shopping.
