As you get dressed for the Christmas dinner, you can't help but feel a slight sense of nervousness. This is the first time that some of your family members will be meeting your boyfriend, and you want to make a good impression.
You take extra care to choose an outfit that will make you feel confident and comfortable. You decide on a festive dress, complete with a pair of heels that make you feel elegant and polished.
As you check yourself in the mirror, you see Ethan standing behind you, admiring you. "What ?" You ask softly while adjusting your earring. He smiles tenderly at you. "Nothing, just thinking at how beautiful my girlfriend is." You blush and look down as a chuckle escapes your lips. You feel a sense of gratitude for his support and encouragement. He walks over to you and hugs you from behind, not making your red face go any better.
You leave him to change and go sit in the couch. Soon he joins you, adjusting his outfit, he's wearing a turtle neck and black pants. It's casual but still elegant, perfect for an event like this.
He sits beside you, your hearts racing as you prepare to leave for your family's Christmas dinner. You're both nervous, knowing that some of your family members will be meeting him for the first time.
You look over at your boyfriend, and you can see the concern on his face. You take his hand and give it a squeeze, feeling the warmth of his touch.
"I'm nervous," Ethan says quietly, his voice quivering slightly.
"I know," you reply, your voice is just as quiet. "But I'll be there with you. And we have each other."
He nods, taking a deep breath. "I know," he says. "But I still can't help but feel anxious."
You nod, understanding what he's going through. You've both been looking forward to this moment for so long, but the uncertainty of what might happen is hard to ignore. "You shouldn't be. You're the most polite and understanding boy I know. You're probably seen as a bad boy since they know you're in a band but they will meet a very nice man, who I'm will be dancing with my mom by the end of the night." You wink, remembering the night he met your parents.
His shoulders seem to lose tension though he seems still a bit anxious. You both sit in silence for a few moments, trying to gather your thoughts and steal your nerves. But as you look at each other, you can't help but feel a sense of comfort and love. You realize that no matter what happens, you'll always have each other.
Finally, you both stand up, ready to face whatever comes next. You take each other's hands, and you both know that you can do this. And as you head out the door, you feel a sense of determination and unity, knowing that together, you can face anything that comes your way.
Ethan senses your nervousness and decides to do something to make you laugh. He steps behind you and wraps his arms around your waist, picking you up bridal style. You let out a gasp, surprised by his strength and the suddenness of it all.
