Chapter 28

My hair are still wet and curly as we make our way back downstairs at half past four. The shower with Connor was refreshing and comforting. I am wearing one of his sweaters which is hanging loosely around my body. I can see how Connor is feeling better every second he is here. He really left the stress and the fight with Tyler back in LA and I am thankful for that.
Connors dad is back home from work and he greats us very friendly. I can see a lot of Connors personality in him as well.
"So I of cause have listend to your music." Connors father starts while we sit down for dinner. I'm seated between Connor and Nicola. "It's impressive. Your wrote the songs all by your self?" He asks me. "Yeah I did." I say shyly. Connor squeezes my hand under the table. I smile at him. I still can't believe that i am spending thanks giving with an American family. Of cause Tilly had invited me a few times to come with him on thanks giving vacation and visit his family but that would have been really awkward seeing that we were never and never would be a couple.
"So what's it like being an African-Australian?" Connors father asks me casually. "It's kind of strange." I try to explain. "I love both continents so much even though they have very different cultures. I feel blessed being raised up knowing both." I say.
"Of cause it's strange because all of my siblings where born in different country's." I add. "How did that work with going to school when you always lived in different country's." "Dad.." Connor starts. I know that education is one of the most imported subjects in Connors family. "It's okay Con." I say to him. "For me it didn't work. My siblings did just fine in school but I failed school because i always missed classes being an actor and stuff... Of cause I got homeschooled but it's was only to get me a simple Degree which isn't very good." I smile shyly. Connors dad just nods. "Troyes brother Steele is studying at university." Connor says to his dad. "And Tyde and sage are still in school. Just like Brandon." Connor says giggling. "I'm sorry that I am younger that you are." Brandon says to Connor. And them Brandon takes over the conversation by telling a story of the last sport competition they had had in school that turned out to be quit funny. I could see that Connors mom where always eyeing me and Connor. "So Troye what do you think of thanks giving so far?" She asks. "Oh I'm very thankful that I am here." I say smiling at Connor with all my heart. "Sweety your part of the family now." She just adds and I suddenly feeling a lump in my throat. "No pressure mom." Connor says to his food. "Oh come on honey like we all didn't notice that you two are totally head over heels for each other." I can feel a blush creeping on my cheeks and at the same time still feel the lump in my throat because they had just accepted me into the family before even thinking twice. "Mom!" Connor practically screams at her his cheeks are red. "Sorry... But I only speak the truth." She says.
