"SURPRISE!" Screamed the entire room.
The light flicked on and everyone was here.
Steven's face was one of complete surprise. I laughed at him, to which he responded by turning and kissing me. "Happy Birthday baby" I said in his ear.
Steven made the rounds around the party, greeting and introducing me to each and every person.
"Janie, this is Ray Tabano. He played guitar in my band before i met Joe " Steven introduced me.
Ray was a tall, thick man with short brown hair. He leaned in for a hug, which took me by surprise.
"Nice to meet you Janie" He kissed me on the cheek. "Any friend of Steven's is a friend of mine" he said. He moved his hand to the small of my back.
"So what do you do?" he asked me
I could tell immediately that Steven wasn't happy that Ray was so close to my... I mean... HIS precious assets. Steven interrupted Ray right in the middle of a sentence.
"Come on Janie were gonna go meet my parents" "Nice to see you again, man." he said to Ray. He lead me away by the hand. I noticed his friends watching me as I walked by. Every damn one of them. So it was no surprise when I noticed Steven putting a possessive arm around my waist.
We sauntered to a table in the back of the courtyard with an older couple sitting at it. Before we could make it to the table, Steven was assaulted by a younger lady. She jumped into his arms and hugged him for what seemed like eternity. "I missed you so much Stevie!" she said to him.
I changed my position so I could see her face better. She looked just like Steven.
"Linda, this is my girlfriend Janie, Janie, this is my sister Linda" It all fell into place.
"Oh my god! I've heard so much about you! It's great to finally meet you!" I exclaimed, wrapping her in a big hug.
"Oh you've gotta meet mom and dad!" she was really excited, but my stomach was doing somersaults. She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me to Mr. & Mrs. Tallarico's table.
Steven was still where I had left him, chatting with an old friend. Well, I guess now was as good of a time as ever to meet his parents."
Linda exclaimed "Mom! Dad! Look who I found!" They turned to look at me and I could automatically tell they didn't realize who I was.
"Hi Mr. & Mrs. Tallarico, I'm Janie, Steven's girlfriend" Their expressions softened and they both stood up to hug me.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, honey!" his mom said. "Steven's told us a lot about you!" "gosh your beautiful!' Mrs. Tallarico said to me.
His dad kissed me on the cheek. Wow. Charmer. Now I knew where Steven got it from.
"I've been asking Steven when I would be able to meet you, and he said not until July when we'd be in New York!" I told them.
"When Steven told me it would be that long before I met you, I automatically knew I had to invite you to come to Steven's party. He really misses you guys!" I told them. "He talks about you every day." I smiled politely at them. I felt a hand land on my ass.
I turned my head around, It was Steven. I shot him a glare of disapproval. We weren't married and he's got his hand on my ass right in front of his parents, who I could tell were pretty old school in their beliefs. He let me go and embraced his mom in a hug. "I missed you mom" he said. "How are you?"
I stood next to Steven as he conversed with his parents. They were both so nice.
"Well you better get to greeting all these guests Steven!" she suggested to him.
