Alessia Russo Oneshot

Family Ties

You nervously straightened the cushions on the couch for what seemed like the hundredth time that afternoon. Today was the day Alessia Russo, your girlfriend of almost a year, would be meeting your parents. It wasn't just any meeting though; both your families were coming together for a joint gathering at your house. The pressure was on, but you were determined to make everything perfect.

The doorbell rang, snapping you out of your thoughts. You took a deep breath and opened the door to find Alessia standing there, looking as stunning as ever in a casual yet effortlessly stylish outfit.

"Hey," she greeted you with a warm smile, leaning in for a quick kiss. "Nervous?"

You chuckled nervously, nodding as you let her in. "Just a bit. Are you?"

"A little," Alessia admitted, her fingers intertwined with yours. "But we've got this."

As guests started to arrive, the house filled with laughter and chatter. Alessia effortlessly mingled with your family, charming them with her wit and genuine interest in their lives, while you mingled with hers. You couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as she interacted with everyone, seamlessly fitting into the familial atmosphere.

At one point, you found yourselves in the kitchen together, preparing drinks for everyone. Alessia leaned against the counter, watching you with a soft smile. "Your family is amazing," she commented, handing you a tray of glasses. "I'm really glad I finally get to meet them."

"They love you already," you assured her, placing the tray on the table. "And my mom hasn't stopped asking me when we're going to get married."

Alessia chuckled, her cheeks tinted pink. "Well, I guess we better not disappoint her then."

You grinned, feeling a surge of affection for this woman who had become such an integral part of your life. "Definitely not."

As the evening progressed, you noticed Alessia occasionally stealing glances at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of fondness and admiration. It made your heart flutter every time, knowing that she felt as deeply for you as you did for her.

Later, as the guests started to leave, you found yourselves alone in the living room, finally able to relax after a whirlwind of introductions and conversations. Alessia sidled up to you on the couch, resting her head on your shoulder.

"You did amazing today," she murmured, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on your arm.

"So did you," you replied softly, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "Thank you for being here."

"Always," Alessia whispered, her voice filled with sincerity. "I love you."

You smiled, wrapping your arms around her. "I love you too."

In that moment, surrounded by the warmth of your home and the love of both your families, you knew that this was just the beginning of a lifetime of shared gatherings, laughter, and love with Alessia Russo by your side.
