'MEETING YOU WAS ALL THE UNKNOWN' chapter sixteen. Auntie

Auntie.

After two weeks later...

We got out of his car and I walked to my parents front door, knocking seeing my mom holding a storage box and she seems to be taking stuffs to the attic. I don't see anyone else, maybe my father was at the backyard making furniture out of a piece of  scraps that he probably pick randomly. And myself wearing a face mask on and the north face hoodie. I must be unfamiliar to them. So— as soon as my mom saw me I quickly removed my face mask seeing her eyes lighten up to meet mine with the most precious and welcoming smile in her face.

"Billie? Oh, my jesus lord, how you been? How's college going?" Maggie tremble and nearly cries. "Oh, mom. I couldn't told you everything right now but can we go inside?" She laughs as she give her mothers a big hug.

Then, stepping inside and, of course Billie was with him, Jesse. "Where's dad?" She asks. Dropping her bag on the couch "He's at the backyard, sweeping under the tree." "Oh..." She wondered. As if Jesse was sitting on the couch waiting for her chance to introduce him. "Oh, Billie here's you dad."

"Patrick, there is your daughter, she came home." Maggie talks distantly. Then walking back to Billie. "mom I-I wanted to introduce you, Jesse. Um— my boyfriend." She said. And Maggie smiles at him with his father in the middle. "Nice to meet you, son." Patrick says with an Irish accent. "I'm delighted to meet you too Mr. And Mrs. O'Connell" Jesse nodded and politely spoke. "Stealing our love?" Patrick jokes out. "Oh," He chuckles. "Dad? You always starts up a conversation like this, just like my brother." Billie laughed. "No, sir. Actually, kind of but she's like my book she's like a dictionary actually. Cause she knows everything that I don't." He told.

"Jesse? What was your name?" They asks. "It's Jesse Rutherford."

Billie clears up her throat. "Mom, can we settle down for a minute?" As she walked behind Jesse. "Yeah." Maggie chuckled with her dad.

They all walked in the back yard and sitting on an old couch. Maggie gets back at the kitchen getting something to drink and her dad continues to sweep under the tree.

"Thank you. Billie. This is actually nice than what I thought that they wouldn't like me." Jesse smiles. And adoring how cute it is their backyard. "Is this an aerial robe?" He interestedly asks. "It is. I do aerial routine actually. But since I got into college I stopped. But still know how to do aerials." She said.

Jesse was stunned. "Really?" He was on his highest hope. "Yeah, I can do one." She whispered. "Why are you in such awe?" She asks. "Because, I was a kid who watches aerial dances. And aerial is just. Art." He said. Chef kiss. "Really oh my god, well I didn't know that you like aerial dances" She said. "Relax. They're not like what you think they are. My parents are nice, I'm just like them, and you knew that." She says and kissed him in the cheek.

Okay. I am smelling cinnamon rolls hundred percent. My mom's cinnamon rolls are the best. That I couldn't even copy their taste. "Mom, was that cinnamon rolls?" She said.

"Yeah, it is exactly." Maggie smiles. "Oh, mom does Finneas and Claudia coming for the dinner tonight?" She asks.

Then, suddenly a car pulled over and seeing her brother with her girlfriend behind.

"Mom! We're home!" He said.

Finneas? Claudia? Oh my god I missed you guys so much.

Firstly, He saw her sister's back home with Maggie in the kitchen greeting them.

"Billie? Oh god how's grad school going?" He laughed "It's good, um you and Claudia how are you?" She says and quietly chuckles. Knowing first that her girlfriend had pregnancy checked and it was positive and that he doesn't know about.
