"Babe, you're gonna be fine." I reassured my boyfriend, De'Aaron. Today he is meeting my family. He's meeting my parents and siblings. He's also meeting my aunt, uncle, my cousins, their significant others, and one of their kids.

"They're all Kings fans, they were ecstatic when they found out we were dating. They kept asking if they could meet you over and over again."

"Yeah, but what if they think I'm an asshole." I snorted.

"They will be talking to you more than me." I laughed. We are here for dinner and so De could meet my family.

We made it to my childhood home. We parked on the street and headed up to my house. We brought some cookies to the dinner. We walked up to the back door and tried to open it, it was locked. I sighed and grabbed the key I have from my pocket and opened up the door.

"I'M HOME!" I yelled from the kitchen. My mom and my aunt were finishing up dinner in the kitchen.

"Hi sweetie." my mom placed down her spoon and gave me a hug. She let go and looked at De.

"Hi! You must be De'Aaron. It's great to meet you. I'm Mrs. Landry, Anna's mom."

"Hi. It's wonderful to meet you." De'Aaron shook her hand.

"Aren't you gonna give your favorite aunt a hug?" my aunt asked. I walked over and gave her a big hug.

"You must be De'Aaron! We are big Kings fans in our house." she laughed.

"So I've heard." he laughed.

"Do you need any help with dinner?" I asked my mom.

"Oh no! We're almost done. Go hangout with your family."

"Ok! Thanks mom." I said as I headed into the living room.

"There's my favorite niece named Anna!" my uncle exclaimed.

"Hi Uncle Devin." I laughed as I walked over to him to give him a hug.

"Why is the De'Aaron Fox standing in my living room?" my dad asked.

"Everyone, meet my boyfriend De'Aaron. De, meet everyone." I laughed.

"Hi." De gave a sweet, little wave. His child-like acts made my heart melt.

"This is crazy." my cousin's fiancée, Autumn, said. My other cousin's husband, Drew, stood up and gave De a handshake.

"Hi. I'm Drew, Anna's cousin-in-law, I guess." Drew giggled.

"If Anna didn't tell you already, we're all big Kings fans. It's kinda crazy having your favorite team's point guard in your living room." my dad said, standing up. "Hi, I'm Anna's dad. My name's Andrew, or Mr. Landry."

"Uh, hi Mr. Landry. It's great to meet you." De was visibly nervous. I rubbed his arm up and down, assuring him that he's ok. My dad stuck out for De to shake it. De shook it, not as nervous anymore but the nervousness still being there. De sat down on the couch. Then, I heard people coming down the stairs.

"Here dad. I found what you needed." my brother, Jack, said, handing my dad something. I gave De a side eye, smirking. My brother is a MASSIVE basketball fan. He's probably the biggest Kings fan in the house. Everyone in the house was snickering; Jack oblivious to it all.

"What am I missing?" Jack asked.

"Hey buddy." De'Aaron said. Jack whipped his head around to look at us.

"Oh. My. God! You're De'Aaron Fox! What are you doing here?" Jack exclaimed, pretty starstruck.

"I'm here to meet you and your family." De smiled, intertwining his fingers with mine.

"Wait, you're dating Anna?"

"Jack, this is De'Aaron Fox, my... boyfriend." I gave a weak smile with some little jazz hands. Jack paused for a moment.

"Sick!"

—————

"Jack, stop asking him so many questions." I laughed at the dinner table. After I introduced De to Jack, he was just bombarding him with one question after another.

"It's fine A." De smiled, ready to answer any question Jack fired at him. We were sitting at the dinner table having spaghetti and meatballs.

"Ok, last question, have you ever played against Lebron?" De laughed.

"Yeah I have. I had to guard him too. It was... something. He's very tall, obviously and freakishly good." De answered.

"That's literally so cool." Jack said.

"Yeah it's no biggie." De brushed it off nonchalantly.

We ate dinner and made light conversation. After dinner, we watched some baseball.

I stood up in the middle of the game to grab a cup of water. I grabbed a water cup from the cupboard and started to pour the water into the cup.

Suddenly, I felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around my waist. I leaned into De's touch. He kissed me on the neck. I quickly jabbed my elbow into his side.

"Babe! What was that for?" De asked.

"Not here, not now De." I scolded the taller man.

"Whatever." he rolled his eyes and placed a kiss behind my left ear.

This man.

"It was wonderful meeting you De. I hope you come back soon!" my mom said as me and De decided to leave for the night.

"I definitely will be coming back. Thanks for having me over." De smiled.

Then, Jack ran up to De.

"See ya man." De said to Jack. He held out his fist for a fist bump. Jack gladly accepted and gave the taller one a fist bump.

"Bye De! Bye Anna!" Jack said.

"Bye Jack. Bye everyone!" I said as me and De left the house, hand-in-hand.

The door shut behind us.

"Told ya so." I smirked.

"Shut up Landry." De said annoyed but smiled.
