Nervously, you try again to follow the steps of the hairstyle video that is playing on your cell phone.
Although it wasn't a complicated hairstyle and the woman in the video showed you the steps in detail, you just couldn't manage it, which was probably due to your nervousness.
Because today was the first time you were going to introduce Sam to your family.
Your family already knew that you had been in steady hands for three months and they had been planning to invite you and Sam to your parents' house for months.
However, since the NFL season had started again a few weeks ago, this had more or less turned out to be difficult, as Sam was quite busy and it was difficult to find a day on which the family reunion could take place.
Because if you and Sam could, someone else couldn't. But today was finally the day and in less than an hour your family would meet the man by your side who made you happy beyond measure.
With a quiet curse, you locked your cell phone and threw the hair ties back in the box before glancing at your reflection in the mirror.
Your make-up was surprisingly perfect today, which, to be honest, didn't happen very often.
But now you had to come up with a plan B for your hair.
Before you could think any further, however, the bathroom door opened and Sam stuck his head inside.
"Honey?" Sam asked, looking at you through the mirror.
"Yes?" you replied and turned to face him as Sam opened the door a little more and came inside the bathroom.
"Can I put this on like this?" as he spoke, he made a hand gesture to draw attention to the white shirt he was wearing.
"Do you want me to get you another jacket?" you tease him, grinning slightly as you take a step towards your friend and straighten the collar of his shirt.
"Am I too overdressed?" You can hear the slight panic in his voice, so you carefully place your hand on his bicep and look up at him.
"No, babe. You're not. But I know you don't like wearing shirts too much, so a white T-shirt would be perfectly fine."
You give him a gentle look as his expression slowly relaxes.
"You know how important it is for me to make a good impression on your family. I want them to like me," he says openly, expressing his thoughts and concerns.
You knew that Sam was pretty nervous about today's meeting and had already been worrying a lot, so much so that you had found him in the kitchen yesterday in a state of total agitation, driving himself crazy with the worst things that could happen today.
"I know that and so will you. They'll love you just as much as I love you."
You carefully place your hands on his cheeks, which you gently stroke with your thumbs and begin to notice that your boyfriend is slowly beginning to relax under this touch.
