On his way home Alistar ran into Clems younger brother Theodore
"Hey Teddy~"
Teddy gave him a smile "Hey Ali~ Where have you been? Out drinking?"
"You know me so well my dear"
"Without me? How rude. I thought you loved me" He put his hand to his heart with a faked hurt expression present on his face
"Aw you can come with next time baby~ I was just catching up with an old friend"
Teddy laughed before remembering that there was something he wanted to ask Alistar "That reminds me. Momma is making dinner tomorrow night. It's supposed to be a family dinner. Even Aunt Carol is coming down. It's kinda like a family reunion"
"Oh that sounds lovely. How has mama Fran been by the way? It's been a while since I've checked in on her"
"She's doing lovely. In fact she's been asking about you since she knows we see each other often. She doesn't know for what of course. So uh would you like to come to dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"I'm flattered my dear~ Of course I would love to go to your family dinner tomorrow. What time should I be there and should I bring some alcohol?"
"It starts at 7 but knowing you, you'll be late so try and aim for 8"
It was Alistars turn to wear a faked hurt expression on his face "I am never late. When was the last time I was late to anything?" he thought for a moment "....Actually don't answer that"
Theo rolled his eyes "That's what I thought. Just try and be there before 9. Please?"
Alistar puts his hand to his heart "I promise I will be there on time"
"We'll see. Anyways, I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow~" Theo waves before turning away and walking off"
Alistar hums another one of Elizabeth's songs on his way home when he remembered that he was supposed to be at his second job
"Fuck…. Eh I'll make up some excuse tomorrow"
It's not long before he gets to his apartment. As he unlocks the door he hears someone running around the house when suddenly Elizabeth swings open the door, holding a rolling pin
"Um… Hey?" Alistar is shocked and kinda surprised
"Oh thank god it's just you. I thought someone was trying to break in" she says with a sigh of relief
"By unlocking the door? And even if I was someone trying to break in you were going to use a rolling pin on me?"
Elizabeth blushes in embarrassment "Shut up… Anyway, it's like 2 in the morning. Where were you? Were you out drinking again?"
"Maybe. But I have a good excuse this time! I was catching up with an old friend"
"Really? You have friends other than me?" She says with a shit eating grin
"Oh haha. Very funny. I have lots of friends, thank you. I was just catching up with my childhood best friend"
"Oh that poor soul…"
"Okay when did you get so sassy? You were not like this when I left this morning"
"I've been up for hours waiting for you to come home. I get kinda cranky when I'm tired. You know this"
"Fair. You know you don't have to wait up for me right?"
"Yeah but what kinda best friend would I be if I went to bed not knowing if you're safe or not?"
"Thats very sweet. You need to sleep though"
"And now that You're here I will. Goodnight!"
"Night" He heads back to his room and gets undressed before heading to bed
