The Mixer and the Mount

Chapter 22 - Family greetings

- 2 weeks later -

Myself and Jake had been on a few dates and really got to know each other, if I'm honest there was attraction between us and I began to have feelings for him. Jack and all of the England team decided to go to Ibiza after the euros with all of their families. Jack seemed to like Jake and told me to bring him along, and tonight was the night he was going to meet my family. I was so nervous not just for me but for him as well, I knew my dad, Biggy would ask him a lot of questions that's because of his protective nature of me since the adoption. I put on my outfit after a long shower and curling my hair.

Romies Outfit-

I walked down the stairs my heels clacking behind me, I got to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. Just as I finished drinking, the door bell rang. I grabbed my purse and head to the door, to find a well scrubbed up and handsome, Jake Riley. I was speechless and staring for longer than supposing, this made him smirk obviously giving him a boost of ego. "Like what you see?" He asked, my response was a blush and smile, "you ready to meet the Bradshaw family?" I asked with a smirk, "as ready as I'll ever be" he said while intertwining our fingers into each other's hands. Walking hand in hand to his car, he open to passenger door and closing it while I was inside, then enter the car and starting the engine after complimenting my looks. We drove to my family home, chatting and laughing away with one another.

As Jake drove through the long drive, with his hand on my thigh, a sign of nervousness hit him. He parked up and we entered the house hand in hand, I was greeted by my mom with a hug as my dad shook Jakes hand, we walked through and we're both welcomed by the rest of my family. We all sat and had a nice meal together and then getting to know the new person in my life. We then got on to talking about Ibiza as we were going in only 2 days, Jake was also coming along as Jack had invited him, which came as a surprise but he obviously took a liking to him. After a little while, myself and Jake found ourselves on the patio lounger talking, "I just wanna give you the heads up" I said with slight nervousness "my ex boyfriend, the one from the club, Mason he's gonna be at Ibiza, you know because he's part of the England squad, so will his family be" I broke out "it's fine if you'd feel better not coming-" she was cut off by Jake "if you want me to be there, I'll be there. No ex's will scare me away Romie,  in fact nothing will" he said with a smile, she questioned "not even my flaws?" He replied "never, they're all what makes you, you and you are beautiful" she smiled at his compliment as the pair snuggled up in each other's arms, Romies head lying on Jakes chest with his arm wrapped around her waist. After a comforting time of silence, Jake surprisingly asked Romie a question "can I ask you a question?" She laughed slightly "you just did" she pleaded with a smirk "no a really one, one that I can get the answer I want from" he said as she looked at him with curiosity "okay..." she said nervously "will you be my girlfriend? It's fine if you rather wait a b-" he was cut of by Romie, excitedly kissing him and then replying "yes! A thousand time yes!" She said as he leaned in for another kiss. Maybe Mason and her were never meant to be, maybe they were just a phase before finding their own soulmates. Romie wondered how she was now better off without Mason after his recent affairs and new way of living.
