  "Are you finally getting nervous?"

  "What?" Aaron asked, shaking his head in denial "of course not."

  "Sure," Katherine snickered "you seem very calm"

  "Good," Aaron smiled confidently "because I am."

  She slowly nodded her head at him before turning her gaze back to the book in her hands. As Katherine read her book, she could hear Aaron pacing around behind her.

  "Just breathe Aaron" she advised, looking away from the book once more and turning to him "they'll be so busy judging me that they'll barely notice you."

  Aaron slowly nodded his head, trying to calm himself down. Although he wouldn't admit it, he had been nervous about meeting Katherine's parents.

  They had met before of course, but now that he and Katherine were dating, it was different. And he knew that Katherine did not care much for her parent's opinions, but he still wanted them to like him.

  "When do we have to leave again?" he asked silently.

  "We have to be in the restaurant at one o'clock" Katherine answered.

  "Alright," he nodded slowly.

  "Aar, you seriously need to calm down" Katherine spoke softly "it'll be fine"

  "I know that their liking won't change your mind about us-" Aaron started speaking quietly.

  "It won't" Katherine assured.

  "But I still want them to like me" he continued "I don't know why, but I have this problem- I'm like a frantic people pleaser."

  "I know that," Katherine smiled, standing up from the couch and walking over to him 
"it's one of the reasons I like you- you're just so caring and nice!"

  "Nice?" Aaron smirked "that's your pep talk? That I'm nice?"

  "It's a compliment," Katherine shrugged, wrapping her arms around Aaron's shoulders "your niceness balances me out."

  Aaron smiled lightly at her, leaning down and pressing their lips together for a quick kiss. He felt Katherine's fingers playing with his hair as they kissed.
