Sweet Home Arizona.

I woke up the next morning to find that I was wrapped in John's arms once again. Luckily this time we had clothes on, so that was definitely a good thing.
Looking over at the clock, I saw that it was 10 till 11. My mom was more than likely freaking out right now over the fact that I didn't come home once again.
I was really surprised that she hadn't came over here yet. I slowly moved John's arms off my body and made my way to the bathroom. My clothes from last
night were all wrinkled and my hair was all over the place. I walked back out of the bathroom and simple stared at John's sleeping form. He looked so damn cute
and I really didn't want to wake him up. I picked up my bag and quietly walked out of his bedroom. It was very shady of me to just leave and not say goodbye but
if I did say goodbye, I would never get out of this house. I closed to the front door behind me and walked over to my car. As soon as I opened the car door, a Mercedes Benz stopped in front of John's house.
None of John's family or friends owned a car like that, so it kind of caught me off guard. What caught me even more off guard was the person inside the Benz; Lillian.
“Oh my God.” It felt like my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. What it the world was she doing in Arizona, especially at John’s house?
“Hello Macy.” She engulfed me in one of her famous fake hugs.
“Lillian, wh-what are you uh doing here?”
“Well since you’re marrying my son in a couple weeks, I thought I would meet your family. I also wanted to see where you came from. Luke was going to come but he got tied up with work.” I just continued to stare at her. “So who’s home is this?” She started walking up the pathway and over to the front door. I practically ran over to her and stopped her from reaching the door. “Uh this is um my uh cousins house.”
“Oh lovely, let’s meet him.”
“NO!” She looked at me with confusion written on her face. “Uh he’s pretty hungover and doesn’t need to be bothered.”
“Well I need to meet him.” She knocked on the door and I could here John stumbling around inside.
“Who is it?” I felt like was going to have a heart attack right there. Seconds later, John opened door showing off his boxer clad body. I glanced over at Lillian and saw disgust written all over her botox face.
“Mason and strange lady?”
“Hi, i’m Lillian, Luke’s mother. You must be Macy’s cousin John.” John looked at me and smiled.
“Oh yeah, I’ve heard so much about you.” He wrapped his arms around her waist and gave her a hug. I could tell this made Lillian very uncomfortable. The worst part was when John placed his lips on hers.
“JOHN!” I pushed him away from her and back into the house.
“Lillian, please excuse us for a second. I have to talk to my cousin alone.” Before she could respond, I slammed the door closed.
“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” He wiped his mouth off and gave me a huge grin.
“What am I doing; what are you doing Mason? So i’m your cousin now, that’s pretty messed up since we had sex and all.” I rolled my eyes and sat on the arm of the couch.
“John, my mother -in- law is outside that door and she is expecting to see everything Luke has told her. Everything I told Luke was a lie and now it’s going to blow up in my face.”
“Well we can make her believe everything she sees.” I looked up at him through tear filled eyes.
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m like the best liar in Arizona, we can make her believe everything her precious son has told her.”
“How in the world are going to do that?”
“I have connections. Now let me go get dressed and we’ll set out on our journey.” He placed a kiss on my lips and jogged up the stairs. Little did I know, Lillian was watching through the window the whole time.

“So where are we going?” We were currently in the car driving to some unknown location. John reassured me for the hundredth time that he knew what he was doing. I wasn’t so sure about that.
“It’s a surprise; me and Maso- uh I mean Macy, used to go here all the time when we were younger.” I had no idea what he was talking about. The only place I truly remember going all the time was In and Out. I hope that’s not where he was taking us; that would be a disaster.
“Can you at least give me a hint?”
“Well it’s a restaurant.” Oh God, this could not be happening. Lillian won’t even eat at Cheddars because it’s not expensive enough. She will for sure flip her lid when she walks through the In and Out doors.
The rest of the ride was pretty silent, aside from John practically beating the steering wheel to death because of the Arizona drivers.
About 5 minutes later, John pulled the BMW into the parking lot and placed the car into park. “Here we are; In and Out. This is the best place in the whole entire world.” He quickly got out of the car and made his way into the restaurant, leaving Lillian and I alone.
“Is this a sick joke?” I knew this was coming.
“Um, this place is pretty good. I mean it’s cheap but they have the best food around.” I got out of the car and opened her door. “You don’t have to eat if you don’t want to.”
“Oh trust me, i’m not going too.” She pushed past me and entered the burger joint.
The one thing that I dreaded the most about being apart of Luke’s family was the fact that Lillian was his mother.
When I walked in, John was already sitting down at a booth. Lillian was nowhere to be found and that kind of worried me.
“You know who Lillian reminds me of?”
“Who?”
“Cruella Deville.” I couldn’t help but start laughing. She looked kind of like her and acted like she was her twin.
“Are you sure you want to marry into that kind of family and lifestyle?” I looked over at him and shrugged.
“Luke isn’t as bad as she is but I still have to deal with her shit.”
“Yep.” John and I sat in silence as we waited for his food to cook.
A couple minutes later, Lillian walked over to us and sat at a table by herself.
“You know you can sit over her, I don’t bite I swear.”
“That’s quit all right John.” She rolled her eyes and looked around.
“JOHN!” All three of us turned our attention to the front and saw Jenny, Ross, and Shane coming over. My head turned back to face John and we basically had the same expression
on our faces; oh fuck!
