Brendon works at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and when Dallon stops in, the two unexpectedly hit it off, finding they have a lot more in common than they thought.
Number one in Brallon for a couple days! Thank you!
Right on schedule, my mom bursts into my room at 8:30 am, "Wake up Dallon! Today's Saturday!" It's a routine at this point - she wakes me up every Saturday morning, we eat breakfast as a family (ew), and then we blast music and clean the house until lunch.
I groan and force myself out of bed. Queen is playing in the living room when I grab a donut from the kitchen counter (hell yes). We work for about an hour and a half, cleaning windows, putting away laundry, and washing last night's dishes.
We're about done polishing the entire fucking house, so I sit down in the living room and take a well-deserved break. My mom sits down next to me, "Hey honey, what do you think about having a family movie night tonight?"
Kill me now. "Oh! That would be fun!" Lies. Think of something, quick. "But... I had plans with a friend tonight, so maybe sometime else?"
She's quick to reply, not letting my bullshit excuses get in the way, "Well why don't you bring that friend over here? Who is it? Ryan? Spencer?"
"No, actually you don't know him."
"Dallon, you're blushing! Uh oh, are you hanging out with a new boy? Do you like him? Is he cute? Dallon, I want to meet him!"
Dear God, she's getting way too excited about this. "Mommm, stop. His name is Brendon and we've been seeing each other for a little bit I guess."
She's practically yelling at this point, "You guess? Dallon! You've got to invite him over for dinner tonight! Oh my goodness how FUN! Good thing we cleaned the house... Although we should go grab the fancy plates from the basement, and maybe clean out the garage, and deep clean inside all the cabinets and drawers..." She continues to ramble as she runs to the office to grab a notepad and pen, presumably to create a new to-do list.
"Mom, chill out, the house is clean enough. Let me see if he even wants to come over anyway."

To summarize, Brendon was both overjoyed and scared shitless at the thought of meeting my family. He has a shift at Tropical Smoothie so he's coming over around 5:00 - in about an hour. My mom is currently whipping up lasagna like a madwoman in the kitchen. She dusted off her old cookbooks and everything just for him.
I decide to wear a black bomber jacket with a gray button-up and black skinny jeans - not too fancy and not too casual.

A while later I hear a knock on the front door and jump up to see a small, cold-looking Brendon waiting outside.
"OH MY GOD! DALLON, HE'S HERE!" My mom screams while taking the lasagna out of the oven, almost dropping it from her excitement.
