Afternoon comes around and now It’s time for me to act as a perfect boyfriend in front of her parents. Her mom wants us to be together but what about her dad.
Taking a deep breath, I knock on their door.
The door slowly opens “Weird? Did you just knock on our door?” Stella says, elbowing me.
“Yes, I did. I’ll like to introduce myself as Grace’s boyfriend, not the kid next door.” I say, straightening my shirt.
Stella burst out laughing, “You are the cutest! Ima call your mom and tell her all about this. Mr. Boyfriend! You are soo cute, you think I wouldn’t have noticed?” Stella wiggles her eyebrows.
“Yeah... I guess” I say face heating up.
She laughs even more hysterically “I’m definitely going to tell your mom!”
Stella, still laughing at me, opens the front door wider and ushers me in. My face still red from the embarrassment. Grace’s dad greets me and so does Grace.
Grace’s dad congratulates us while Stella is still cracking up in the background. Apparently, everyone has been betting when we’ll get together and her dad won the bet.
We headed out to the movies, it felt nice and natural. After the movie was over, we played at the arcade for a while. Grace and I even got away from her parents for a little while to just hang out with each other. We then headed back home where mom was waiting. We all ate dinner together.
“This is great! We hoped for so long that you all will merge the family and have beautiful children together,” Mom says, laughing hysterically clapping her hands.
Rolling my eyes, I take a sip of water.
“Plus, it took longer than expected! We almost thought it’ll never happen, and we’ll have to die without being merged,” Stella says, looking at mom.
Spitting out water “You guys are psychos…. You know that, right?!” I say, wiping my mouth.
“We’ll accept that,” Mom says, giving Stella a look.
“But it’s amazing that the best of the best are together” Grace’s dad says with a gentle smile.
Grace squeezes my hand and I squeeze back. I don’t care what they say. I have been waiting so long and patiently for this.
