It was noon and my alarm was going off. It was now Saturday. Work yesterday kicked my ass. We were short staffed and then they tried to force me to work another double. I had to quickly remind my bosses that our union will not allow that before walking out the door and heading home.
I lay in my bed for a few moments starring at the ceiling. Did I really want to go to this barbeque today? I would much rather use this time to catch up on sleep... But then I remind myself that I told Lisa I would show up.
I mean it can't be that bad for me to show up to Lisa's meet a whole bunch of strangers but get free food out of it... Decision has been made and free food was the deciding factor.
With that I swing my body out of bed before walking over and getting a very, very hot shower.
The shower was nice, it helped loosen up some of the tension in my back and shoulders which caused me to be in there longer.
When I get out, I choose one of my only casual outfits I have. Blue skinny jeans, a burgundy blouse and black sneakers. I grab my purse and send a quick text to ask if Lisa needed me to pick up anything on my way over. She was fast to reply asking if I would be willing to pick up a thing of ice.

I pull up to the address that Lisa sent me with ice in hand. It was a quaint house, one that looked like that it had been well kept and hand down through a generation or two.
The wrap around porch was to die for. This is exactly what I would want my house to look like, exterior wise at least. Maybe one day, I can have it, this kind of house.
I knocked on the door and a gentleman about 6 feet tall, brown buzz cut and brown maybe hazel eyes answered.
"Can I help you?" He asked as he looked me over with a hesitation.
"My names YN, Lisa invited me for a barbeque?" It came out as a question since I was no longer sure if I was at the right location. His faced morphed into something similar to realization.
"MA! YN's here!" He shouted back into the house before turning back to me. "Here, let me take the ice from you. I'm Scott by the way."
"Nice to finally meet you, Scott. Lisa's told me a lot about you." Scott chuckled before mumbling something along the lines of typical. He stepped out of the doorway allowing me inside. I see Lisa walk in arms open wide. I don't hesitate to move forward and hug her.
"I'm so glad you showed up. This is my son Scott. The one you said reminded you of your older brother." I had a giant grin on my face even though the comment was slightly awkward.
"Ma, wait until you introduce her to everyone before you start embarrassing the poor girl." I shake my head slightly watching the interaction.
"Oh, that reminds me! Let me introduce you to my other son Chris." I looked over at Scott with pleading eyes. He just laughed at me shaking his head as Lisa grabbed my arm and started pulling me into the kitchen. 'ass' I mouth back to Scott to which he threw his hands up in defense, mind you, still laughing.
Pulling my attention back to Lisa I look around at all of the homely decorations on the wall as she pulls me through the hallway to the kitchen. I see two gals early 30's and a man I'd say about 36 standing around the kitchen island.
The shorter of the two women seem to notice the scene before them. She looks at Lisa and I with a bit of confusion.
"Ma, why does it look like you're bringing her to her slaughter?"
"Oh, hush now Carly, I don't need you to frighten her off already. YN, this loud mouth is Carly, next to her is Shana and finally this is Chris. Everyone, this is YN." I give a tight smile and a small wave. Saying I was uncomfortable would be an understatement of the century.
