"Well, that's one nice dress...Now lets put it back!" June said upbeat at the end.
"WHAT?! You're not going to buy it?! You look beautiful in it!" Liam commented as June walked over to the rack to put it away.
"Well, Mr.Money-bags I don't just have money laying around to waste on dresses." June said a little sarcastic but serious.
"Well, then take it as a present from me!" Liam said as he brought out his credit card.
"What?! NO! No, you can't, it's alright! It's just a silly dress! I don't want you buying me a dress. Besides, remember...I don't do animal prints!" June said as an excuse for him not to buy her anything.
"Well, be a little open minded you looked great in leopard print! C'mon I insist, I'll buy you the dress!" Liam said as he took the dress off the rack.
"Liam...it's really sweet that you want to buy me a dress but, I don't like dresses!" June lied.
"You're such a bad liar! You're wearing a dress right now!" Liam said with a raised eyebrow.

"You got nothing on me!" June replied which made Liam laugh.

June's phone started ringing "Beedo Beedo Beedo" From the minions of Despicable Me. June picked up the phone.
"Hello?"June answered.
"June! Hey, Hon could you pick up a few things before you come home?" Moriah asked.
"Sure, Mom! What do you need me to pick up?"
"Six packs for the barbecue tomorrow."
"What kind?"
"I don't know whatever you think people will drink."
"Okie dokie! Will do! See ya later, Mother!" June said as she hung up.

"I'm just going to take a hunch and say that was your Mum." Liam commented as he waited for the cashier to pack the things he bought.
"Yup! So...got what you need?" June asked as the cashier passed his bags over the counter to Liam.
"As a matter of fact more than what I need." Liam said with a smirk on his face. June looked at him confused. "What?"
"Happy early birthday!" Liam said as he gave her a really big bag which June guessed had the dress in it.
"You shouldn't have! Thank you!" June said as she planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Well, your welcome..." Liam replied. June glared at Liam trying to decipher what he was going to say next. "...I should buy you more things if I always get a kiss!" Liam teased. "Aaannd there it is!" June said as she chuckled.
"What? What is that supposed to mean?"Liam asked with a smile as they walked in the halls of the mall.

After their date, Liam brought her home around 6 p.m. just the right time for her to get home for dinner. As June was getting out of the beat up car Liam still had, someone was staring at them through the window above the door.
"I feel watched." June commented.
"Tell me about it." Liam murmured.
"What?"
"Nevermind...I'm sure its nothing." Liam said reassuringly.
The curtains of the window waved as someone moved behind it. Finally the front door erupted with eight year olds screaming "AAAAATTACK!" .
June had a panic look on her face. "We've been ambushed!"
Danny and his best friend Liam came out with Nerf guns and water guns and drenched both June and Liam.
"DANIEL! You're gonna pay for that!" June teased as she chased her younger brother!
Danny ran around the car as June chased after him. Liam Payne got a hold of him and waited for June to catch up to him.
"LET ME GO! LIIIIAAAM! SAVE YOURSELF! RETREAT! RETREAT!" Danny yelled to his friend, but he didn't listen. Little eight year old Liam squirted Liam Payne in the face until he let Danny go.
The kids ran toward the house screaming "THIS ISN'T OVER! WE'LL COME BACK! STRONGER THAN EVER! WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!"
"Well, okay then." June laughed.
"That was your brother, huh." Liam noted.
"I think he likes you!" June joked.
"Yeah, you think so? What about that other lad...is he like his best friend?" Liam asked.
"Yeah...Liam Anderson. The kid next door, they go to the same school, same grade, same classes. Those two are inseparable!" June explained.
"Ah. Well, I should get going-"
"DANIEL! LIAM! Stop squirting people!" Moriah yelled as she came to the front door.
The second she laid eyes on June and Liam her eyes widened.
"JUNE! Who's your friend?" Moriah asked with a fake smile.
June felt nauseous when she heard her mom's voice. She had never brought a boy home, especially a guy older than her.
She plastered a fake smile and replied. "Mom, this is Liam Payne. Liam this is m-my Mom."
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Keyzer!" Liam greeted her politely.
"Ooh, is that a British accent I detect! Well, nice to meet you, too! You guys are soaking wet come in and dry up!" Moriah said concerned as she pushed them to go in the house.
"June, Hija...did you get the six packs?" Moriah asked as she handed her two towels.
"Oops! I forgot! I'll get them right now if you want?" June suggested.
"No, no. It's too late now, we'll get them tomorrow. Why are you so pale? You think I don't know what you've been up to? I know you were out with this boy. The question is, is he Christian? " Moriah asked.
June had no words she just shrugged and smiled. She took the towels and left to the living room where Liam waited soaking wet.
When she entered the living room she found him playing with Thor, the Norwegian Elk Hound they had for a pet.
"I didn't know you had a dog?" Liam said pleasantly surprised.
"Yeah, did I forget to mention I had a dog? His name is Thor." June handed Liam a towel.
"Thor? How did you guys come up with that?" Liam asked as he chuckled.
"It was my idea growing up. I thought it was a powerful name for a powerful dog!"
"Well, is he a 'Powerful' dog?"
"He is trained to be a vicious beast guard dog! But...he's afraid of Chihuahua's barking." June said the sad truth quietly.
"Well, as long as Liam is here how 'bout we invite him for supper?" Moriah suggested with another fake smile.
June's eyes widened. "Oh, well..he can't because you know..um ..he has other things to do. Right, Liam?"
"No, actually I'm on a short Vacation. I have nothing better to do!" Liam naively said ignoring June's hints to kick him out.
"GREAT! There you see, mi hija! This is just great! Perfect! No puedo esperar que tu Papa conosca a Liam!" Moriah said to June and left the room.
"What did she say?" Liam asked.
" She said 'I can't wait for your Dad to meet Liam!' " June translated.
"That's good right?" Liam asked.
"Well, sorta...are you christian?" June asked with a smile.
