Amara's POV
"Your mom and I were talking about your relationship with Henry." here we go.
My mom has been openly a hater about my relationship with Henry after what happened at the party and I don't get it at all.
Henry saved me. He protected me from something even more horrible than what already happened but my mom has always been like this.
I know she's worried and she wants the best for me but I need her to be reasonable in situations like this.
Henry is a big part of my life and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon so my mom has to deal with it.
".why don't you invite him to have dinner with us? Her mom can come too and we talk properly and get to know her better" my dad said and I literally have never felt more happy.
I straightened up and looked over at my mom who smiled weakly at me "At the end of the day, she's my daughter's boyfriend and I was a bit too harsh on her"
"She's gonna be so happy about it"
———
"I'll open it" I excitedly said running downstairs and going to open the door knowing it's Henry and his mom.
When I told Henry about this dinner, he was so excited about it.
He started telling me that he's going to wear a cute suit and kept talking about how he has to make a good impression since he knows my mom dislikes him.
That just made me so sure about the love I have for him.
I looked at him and literally everything around me stopped. Thought this shit is an exaggeration in movies but I just had to be in love with the right person for this to happen.
The little moments we have together make life worth living.
Everything was so depressing until I found him. He made school fun for fuck's sake. I think that's enough to prove how in love I am with him.
I look forward to go to school just because I have a few classes with him.
I fucked up before but l'm making sure that it doesn't happen again because Henry is so perfect.
He's so careful with me. He holds me as if I'm a thin piece of glass that is going to break if he holds me too roughly and if I'm being honest, I love it. That's all I ever needed.
Everything is fun with him. Literally lying in bed with him is fun and refreshing.
He has my literal heart in the palm of his hand and this is the first time I'm not scared about that because I know he's going to be the best boyfriend forever.
"Hi Miss Hanson" I said giving his mom a hug even though I wanted to jump in Henry's arms and give him the tightest hug ever but I have to make sure my future mother in law adores my ass.
"Hi Amara" she said back. I backed away from the hug as my parents greeted her and I went towards my boyfriend who had flowers in his hands "is that for me?" I asked him and he nodded, smiling and looking down at them.
"I thought l'd bring you some.. so your parents know I'm a gentleman not because I'm in love with you or anything" he said making me laugh and peck his lips.
I took the flowers from him and stepped inside of the house. He shook my parents hands and we walked towards the living room.
I sat down on the couch beside Henry "your tie looks good. You were nervous about that" I said as our parents talked about whatever it is.
He looked down at it and nodded "yeah. I watched a YouTube video on how to do it" it's the little things that make me happy.
"So Henry..." my parents started talking to Henry about school and stuff and oh my god I really am lucky to have someone as amazing as Henry.
He's very polite with his responses, the tone he's using is very gentle and quiet, his body language is comforting somehow and he's giving the responses my parents want to hear.
Fuck I love this man so much.
We were now at the dinner table, eating and enjoying our food as we talked.
This is something I can really get used to.
"I was wrong about you, you're really good for Mar. I have never liked any of her old partners but I definitely like you" my mom said making me smile and look over at Henry who smiled widely "thank you. You can trust me with Mar. She's everything to me and I will do everything to keep her happy"
He held my hand under the table and rested it on his lap.
Something cute I noticed about Henry is whenever he gets nervous around people, he tries to find a way to touch me or hold me. I think it's cute that he finds her comfort with me.
His phone buzzed which made the both of us look at the screen of it.
It was an unknown number so he looked at me with a confused look.
Weird but okay.
Then the person started calling making Henry sigh and pick his phone off the table "excuse me" he excused himself from the table and went to answer the phone.
After a few minutes he came back but he looked different. He didn't look different but his energy completely changed.
"Honey are you okay?" His mom asked worried. He nodded his head and looked down at the table. I looked down at his legs to see him bouncing his leg up and down anxiously.
I placed my hand on his thigh to stop him from doing that "let's go talk in my room" I said interlocking my fingers with his. I looked over at my parents who just looked as worried as his mom.
I gave his mom a reassuring smile and went upstairs to my room.
We stepped inside and I closed the door behind me "baby? What happened?" I said holding his face gently.
A tear rolled down his cheek "it's my dad"
