Come & Get Your Love • Alex Turner

44: Thanksgiving With The Summers'

Avery's POV:

It was reading week. Meaning, I finally got the chance to rest myself and to give myself a proper assurance from all the college stress I've been facing. Next week will be our pre-finals examinations. For my trip back home, I gathered all my school materials and clothes. Alex was also coming with me, since he's been excited to meet my family in person.

On our way to Los Angeles International Airport, Alex made a joke about his middle and ring fingers;

“Can't wait to play these two tiny fingers when we get back here”, Alex continued, bending his fingers up and down. Meanwhile, the driver already gave us dirty looks because of Alex's actions

Alex whispered seductively in my ear, “That wasn't a joke, sweetheart. I just miss our daily routine”

I slightly spanked him while laughing. Until we arrived at the airport, swarms of people were looking at us. It was starting to get cold, Alex was in his black coat while I was wearing my beige sweater. While waiting for our plane, Alex and I continued making jokes, this time, it was just filled with corny and funny ones.

And then, the plane bound to Austin finally arrived. Alex and I sat on the front seat whilst the flight stewardess noticed us in the first place. I was laying on his shoulder the entire flight. We finally arrived in Austin, as Alex and I brought our things. There I quickly spotted Christopher, Hailey, and baby Ashton. I quickly pulled them into a tight hug. Christopher and Hailey were delighted as they finally met Alex.

“Nice meeting you, pal", Christopher said as Alex and him shook hands.

“You too", Alex smiled, “Yer baby's got yer eyes", he complimented Ashton's appearance as he was carried by Hailey.

“Thank you”, Chris smiled warmly. “Alright, let's go”, he grabbed his keys from his pocket.

Again, the 3 hour ride was back. Alex and I fell asleep on the back seat, whilst Chris was playing Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton songs on his bluetooth speaker.

And now, we were greeted with warm hugs and smiles from our family. My family was in seventh heaven as they finally met Alex in person, especially my sister-in-laws who have a huge crush on him. To be honest, Ben is taller than Alex while Chris, Freddie, and Patrick are almost the same height as him.

“It's really nice meeting you in person", Ben said as he and Alex shook hands and exchanged hugs after .

“You too, mate", Alex smiled.

My parents were completely smiling as they also shook hands with Alex;

“Just call us Eleanor and Stephen, Alex", dad scoffed as Alex called then as Mrs. and Mr. Summers,

“I'm being formal, I guess", Alex scratched the back of his neck as he chuckled lightly.

Freddie interrupted, “Look who's here", he carried he and Nicole’s newborn son named Theodore, "He's cute, isn't he? “

" Aww”, I was such a child when I carried baby Theo in my arms, and then Alex was completely looking at the baby as he held Theo’s soft hands and even sang a short lullaby. "I wanna be a mom already”, I joked out as Theo played with his hands. I kissed his head after, and then I passed him back to Freddie.
