I'd Rather Kiss You

Meet The Family

Thomas walks through the door that his boyfriend is holding open. "Babe, I think you're mistaken. This room is Heaven, out there is Hell." he says with a chuckle. Newt closes the door and hugs Thomas from behind, sighing in the crook of his neck.

"You're right, at least I can hug you and kiss you and tell you how much I love you, while we're in here. Out there I have to do those things with Teresa." Newt says, sadly. He kisses Thomas's neck and turns the brunette around. Immediatly their lips connect.

"I love you so much, Tommy." Newt says, slighlty out of breath. They freeze when they hear a voice.

"You should start locking the door." a woman says. They turn around and see a red headed girl standing there. "Sorry to interupt you two love birds. Didn't know this room was taken."

"Diana. Hi. I-it's n-nice to see you." Newt stutters out. "This is Thomas, my friend. I-I figured it was time you all met him and my girlfriend, Teresa."

Diana raises an eyebrow, "Friend? Girlfriend? I'm sure you probably have that mixed up, don't you?" The red head closes the door. Newt looks at Thomas and then back at the girl. "Don't worry, little cousin, I don't care. I'm not like the rest of our homophobic family. In fact, we're in the same boat. I also brought my 'friend' and my 'boyfriend'." She says.

Newt and Thomas both visibly relax. "Which one of your parents know?" Newt asks.

"Dad because he married into the family. He tried to get me to tell my mom, but I don't want them to split. Especially not because of me. Your mom knows, am i right?"

Newt nods, "Yeah. She tried to get me to tell my dad too and like you, I don't want to cause a divorce."

"What about you, pretty boy? You got homophobic parents?" Diana asks Thomas. He merely looks down, nodding slightly.

"Yeah. Luckily, I don't live with them anymore. I've got my own place. Where's your girlfriend?"

"She's getting unpacked. I should do the same. Nice to meet you, Thomas. See you guys down stairs, and don't forget to lock your door." the girl says with a wink.

Newt and Thomas look at each other and start laughing. "That was close." Thomas chuckles.

"Yeah, and terrifying. Let's go find Teresa and go down stairs." Newt says. The two boys exit the room and see Teresa talking to a brown headed boy. When they get into hearing distance, they can tell that he's trying to flirt with her. "Let the acting really begin." Newt says with a short laugh.

"Hey babe, how do you like your room?" Newt asks, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Oh, hey Nathan, I didn't see you! This is my girlfriend, Teresa and my best friend, Thomas." He says with a smile.

"Hey, man. What's up? It's been a while. I was wondering who brought this little lady along. Hi Thomas, it's nice to meet you."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you too." Thomas says with a smile and a wave of the hand.

"Well we're heading down stairs. It was nice to see you." Newt says, grabbing Teressa's hand. The trio head down the stairs and into the living room when they're stopped.

"Newt, hey bud, how's it been? I haven't seen you in a couple years!" A man in his late twenties, early thirties, says.

"Uncle Scott! Hi! It's been way too long! This is my girlfriend, Teresa and my best friend, Thomas." Newt says happily. Scott winks at the three friends and puts his hand out to take.

Thomas takes it first, "Hello, sir, it's nice to meet you." Scott smiles and nods. Then he takes Teresa's hand and kisses it.

Teresa blushes and says hi. Scott pulls all of them into a hug, whispering in Thomas's and Newt's ear, "Your, mum told me about you two, and I'm so happy for you guys. You look like you were made for each other." When they pull away, Newt and Thomas smile at each other.

Just as he is about to walk away he turns around and looks at Teresa and Thomas, " Call me Uncle Scott, by the way. That 'sir' stuff, doesn't suit me." He winks at the three and leaves. Thomas and Teresa give Newt a confused look.

"Wait, why doesn't he care?" Thomas asks.

"He doesn't care? Woah cool! Why does he wink so much?" Teresa asks.

Newt chuckles. "He's my mum's brother. And he was winking because he doesn't care, Teresa."

"Oh." Both dark haired people say at the same time. They go into the living room and wave to everyone before going to the kitchen. A couple women are inside prepping food and some men are outside cooking on the grill. An older lady comes up to Newt and hugs him tight.

"Hi, hun, how are you? Is this, Teresa, the girlfriend I keep hearing about from your parents? And you must be Thomas, the amazing best friend that Newt takes everywhere." The lady smiles at them.

"Hi, Grams. I'm doing good." Newt says, giving her a hug. When he releases her, Teresa says hi and Newts grandmother hugs her tight.

"Hello, ma'am." Thomas says polietly. The older lady hugs him and goes on about how he's such a gentalman.

"Your grandfather wants to see you, love." Grams says, and Newt smiles, tensely. Things were about to get bad.
