Rosalinda's POV

I feel my heart pounding against my chest as Justin stares ahead in the car driving us to his grandparents.

I was completely going nuts about what I was going to do and say, of course I should just be myself. All of Justin's family were so sophisticated, successful and sweet, I could never even compare to what they probably wanted Justin's girlfriend to be.

I couldn't wait to meet his Grandma and Grandpa as I have had years of experience in talking to grandparents throughout my life.

I kept going through things in my head and scenario's on how I would greet them, which I shouldn't do.

I picked at the fabric of my American Apparel jeans, I suddenly panicked wondering if I had dressed nicer.

Justin's hand found itself off the driving wheel without taking his eyes off of the road, his hand clasped mine bringing it to his thigh.

"Stop worrying, it's going to make you do stupid things with all the shit going through your mind" Justin chuckles slightly bringing my knuckles to his lips leaving a long, lingering kiss.

A smile tugs to my lips before turning my head to look out of the car window. The atmosphere and landscapes of Canada were absolutely beautiful, it was sad Justin didn't have a real childhood to spend it around.

"I just want them to like me.." I whisper softly blowing out some air from my cheeks.

Justin sends me a small smile with a warm glint in his eyes, he decides not to speak as he's tried to reassure me plenty of times they would like me.

Justin's (obviously expensive) car pulls up into the Mallette's driveway, which of course its absolutely huge.

Justin's grandparents were in a big business franchise to do with magazines, models and more when they were younger.

He told me that his grandmother still goes to the studio and helps sometimes, it was fascinating.

"I need to bring you here in the winter or when it gets a bit colder, everything is ten times more beautiful drenched in snow" Justin comments as he brings the car to a stop turning off the ignition turning to face me excitedly.

"That sounds wonderful, Justin" I smile genuinely at him, my nerves seem to simmer slightly as we open our car doors stepping onto the concrete.

Justin makes his way to the back of the car opening the boot to retrieve our suitcases.

My eyes travel to the huge ranch in front of me, I almost fall over from how beautiful their house is. It's not exactly a mansion but it's wooden to look like a cabin, it seems homey, warm and welcoming. I suppose they chose it to fit with the fact we were on a massive ranch area, his grandparents have a lot of animals on their farm.

I jump slightly as Justin's hand rests on the top of my arm. "You ready, baby?" Justin asks me slipping his hand into mine handing me the handle of my suitcase.

I nod as we make our way up to the entrance of the cabin-house together. I lift my fist up to knock on the door as Justin smirks at me pulling down the handle, shifting the door open gesturing for me to go inside.

I blush slightly before stepping inside dragging my suitcase behind me, Justin following closely.

He makes his way down the hallway poking his head round a door before walking back over to me.
