How we met. Y/n X H/n love story.

Chapter 8

Y/n

I eventually woke up to my alarm ringing loudly. It was a Saturday, for gods sake. I wanted to sleep in today but I guess my alarm had other plans. I swear I turned it off for today but I guess I didn't. Oh well.

I lazily stood up as I snoozed my alarm. I fixed my tank top's strap that was falling off my shoulder. One thing I hate about spaghetti straps: they come off so easily.

I went through my morning routine before making my way to the kitchen. My mom usually had weekends off so we usually bonded during this time. I'd help out whenever she'd tell me to, I knew it was lonely for her whenever dad would go on business trips -or anything related to work- So I tried doing as much as I could.

I sat down on the counter after getting my breakfast and started eating. My mom had made my favourite breakfast today, so she must be in a good mood today. I was drinking some water before I looked at her who started speaking. "Your dad's coming home tonight for a few days. He said that he's taking the week off." She said, slightly cheerfully. She was even smiling a little - that it made me smile. "Really? Dad's coming home?" I said excitedly.

Finally! After a long time, we all can finally come together as a family and enjoy ourselves. My siblings had already moved out so it was mostly just us on game nights.

After we had finished eating, my mom was washing the dishes and I walked in to fill my water bottle. "Y/n, I'll be going out to run some errands." She said, as she turned off the faucet and was currently wiping her hands on the nearby hand towel. "We'll be leaving in about half an hour, so get ready." I nodded as I had finished filling my water bottle.

It's not like I had anything better to do, so why not help her out. I can just study later.

Eventually, we left for the errands. I was wearing a hoodie and jeans as it was pretty cold today. I sat in the passenger seat as my mom drove. I was too lazy to do much of my makeup so I only had some lip balm on and blush.

Anyway, moving forward. I accompanied her on grocery shopping, -I was forced to help out :(-
We went to the mall, and then went back home. I was starving the moment we got back home so instead of cooking dinner, mom ordered pizza for the night. My dad wasn't gonna be here until pretty late and I was told not to stay up. I obviously didn't listen and stayed up pretty late. Even then, I had fallen asleep before I could say hi so I guess things worked out in my mom's favour anyway. I think?

Anyways, when I did greet my dad: it was pretty late. Around 2-3pm. He was sitting on the couch with my mom and talked. I was going to the kitchen and hadn't noticed him, until I went into the living room to get a few things.

"Hey bunny." My dad spoke, I looked at him and almost immediately jumped onto him. "Calm down, honey. You'll crush the man alive!" My mom teased, she had always been easier to talk to whenever dad was around. I guess she wasn't as stressed as she normally was.

That night we had so much fun. We played a few board games before ending the day with a movie. I had cuddled up to a pillow while my parents sat next to each other. I was content to say the least. Family nights weren't a daily occurrence but I sure didn't mind them whenever they did happen.
