Lily's POV

"I love you Lily...." 

He what? Did he just? Woah, okay then. No one has ever said that to me before.

"I love you too Jack." 

He pulled me into a tight hug and that's where I fell asleep.

We had just landed in Pennsylvania. Jack and I had two weeks off and were seeing family for the first time in 8 months. We were staying with his family for 9 days then seeing my family for 4 days before heading back to LA. Which meant I was meeting his family for the first time.

We were currently in a car on the way to his family home and nervous was not the word. I was terrified. 

"Jack, what if they don't like me?" I asked playing with the ring on his finger.

"Are you joking me? They're going to love you!" He replied.

"But what if-" I started but he cut my off.

"But nothing, I promise you they will love you! I've told them about you and they can't wait to meet you! Especially my sisters! You'll be fine and I'll be there too!" 

I couldn't say anything else because we were at his family home and we were stood at the front door waiting for someone to answer. I was terrified. All I could think about was Jack's family not liking me.

"Jack! I've missed you so much!" A little girl shouted as she jumped into his arms which pulled me out of my daydream.

"Isla! I've missed you too! And the rest of you guys!" He said as two other girls joined their joint hug. We made our way into their house and was met by his parents. 

"Guys, this is Lily, my girlfriend, Lily these are my parents and my sisters, Sydnie, Ava and Isla!" Jack introduced us all to each other and we all spoke for about ten minutes before Jack's mother told us to take our things upstairs and get ready for dinner as it was almost 8pm and we were going out for dinner tonight as they hadn't seen Jack for a while.

"Should I wear a dress tonight or would that be too formal?" I asked Jack as I looked through my suitcase. I had the cutest dress and I hadn't had the chance to wear it yet but it was so stunning. It was baby pink and off the shoulder, it stopped just above my knee but had a skirt that trailed off behind me.

"You should definitely wear the dress! I don't think I've ever seen you wear a dress before and everyone else will dress up quite formal, they usually do!" Jack states.

"I wore a dress the day we met! You have seen me wear a dress, you've just forgotten cause I don't wear them that often." I explained.

"You can't be mad at me for that then, we met over seven months ago." He laughed.

I grabbed my dress and my makeup and headed to Jacks on-suite bathroom to get changed and fix my makeup. I got changed and as I was redoing my makeup, I felt a pair of arms wrap round my waist.

"You don't need makeup, you're stunning without it!" Jack said as he rested his head on my shoulder. Wow, he looked good. Like so good. He was wearing a full suit and oh my gosh. 

"And you're really cringy! I just wanna look nice and give a good first impression!" I replied. I finished my makeup and turned round to properly look a Jack. 

"Holy fuck-" I just stood their staring at him until he spoke. I didn't even realize I'd said that out loud. 

"See something you like?" Jack asked with a smirk.

"I think we should go, everyone's probably waiting for us downstairs." I blushed as I walked past Jack. I could not say what I was thinking. That would not be appropriate to say out loud.

We walked downstairs and I was correct; everyone was waiting for us.

"Wow, you look beautiful Lily!" Kristin, Jack's mother said.

"Thank you so much!" I replied. It really did mean a lot to me.

We made our way to the restaurant but had to take two cars as there was a lot of us. Jack and I went in his car and everyone else managed to get in the other car as it was a seven seater.  

"My mom was right, you do look beautiful tonight, and always." Jack said as he placed his hand on my thigh. Oh how he drives me crazy. We sang all the way to the restaurant. His voice is so perfect and so is he. I just wanted to be like this forever and not having to hide our relationship but that isn't possible because I wouldn't have a job.

We arrived at the restaurant and everybody ordered what they wanted. The food was delicious and everyone had a great time. We all talked and I got to know a lot about them all and they all got to know me and hopefully they like me too! It was getting late and Isla was getting tired so we all headed back to the house in the same cars we came in.

"See, I told you my family would love you!" Jack said as he turned his car on. I just nodded my head. I didn't say much on the way home because there was one thing I wanted more than anything but I didn't know if Jack would feel the same way.

"Are you okay? You've barely spoke this whole car ride." Jack said as we pulled onto his driveway. I just nodded.

"Lily? Talk to me, what's up?"

"I want you..."
