Joe is her today guide in London. They are driving for about an hour and Joe shows her many places there. When he doesn't talk she can't take her eyes off this majestic city. She loves everything about it. It's a great aesthetic. Those old fashioned buildings, the rainy but at the same time hot weather, the crimson red busses, groups of people laughing. Everything is just so perfect. But mostly this British accent which she loves to listen.

"And this is the palace of Buckingham. We don't have much time today but I promise tomorrow we'll visit it." she nodded but he didn't see it since his eyes were stuck on the road and rests his hand on her inner thigh.

"Do you want to start heading to my mother's house?" he asks gently caressing her thigh

"Sure. But tomorrow, I want a full tour babe" she looks into his eyes

"I promised" she could listen to his smile

On the road, Taylor couldn't part her eyes off this amazing scenery. The more they were getting closer to his mothers house, the most this city becomes a dreamy one.
Though Taylor, couldn't cast off her the anxiety because yes she's anxious. What if she's not what his mother always wanted for her son? What if she's not that good for him? She doesn't have a fortune as his, she's a normal person, does his mother want somebody with a huge one? She's not a model, or an actress or even a singer! She's a simple professor!
A tear slipped through her cheeks and Joe noticed it.

"Taylor, what's wrong?" he asks giving her little glances

"Nothing. Everything is fine she says" and looks outside the window

"No it's not. You're crying." he places his hand on hers

"I don't cry" she says

"Taylor please don't be stubborn. I saw the tears. Come on tell me what's wrong" he asks gently

She takes a deep breath and turns her gaze back at him "I'm scared...will your mom like me?" she says between her sniffs

He sighs and stops the car in the traffic light which is red. He looks at her "Babe...we've discussed this again and again...You're what I always hoped for, and my mom already likes you from what I've told her till now. I know you're nervous which is sensible, but don't be overdramatic babe. When I'm telling you something you have I believe me. Okay? "he cups her face in his hands and smiles a little trying to make her feel better

"Fine... You're right" she pecks his lips a little and before they knew, the cars behind them were honking to move. They hadn't even noticed the traffic light was now green. Immediately Joe places his hands on the stirring wheel finally moving.

Fifteen minutes later Joe pulled the car over to his mom's house. Both of them got out of the car, and as they reached the porch, Taylor wrapped her hand around Joe's. He smiles at her and blew a kiss on her lips before knocking the door. He could feel Taylor shaking, and he squeezed her hand three times knowing that it calms her down.
Not long later Elizabeth opened the door and welcomed them in her house. As the stepped into it, she hugged Joe tightly. She hasn't seen him for more than a year. She missed her son. She wanted to cry from happiness, but she held her tears back.

"I missed you" she says to her son

"I missed you too mother. I love you" he says and then pulls away.
"Sooo...mom this is my girlfriend Taylor" he points at her and both of the two women smile

"Nice to meet you Mrs Elizabeth" Taylor says and goes for a handshake

"Nice to meet you too Taylor" the old woman says and instead of handshaking with her, she went straight for a hug.
