"Adam what if your mother doesn't like me?" Entwining  my fingers with his, he looks over at me while I sit on the left side of the car.

"Emma she'll love you." He boosts up my confidence a bit.

"She sounds very nice and convincing...but what if she thinks I'm some slut or gold digger?"

"I'm not by the way babe, you already know that." I finish. Adam turns to glance at me and chuckles under his breath.

"What?" I watch him carefully.

"You overthink too much love." He pulls my hand up to his mouth, leaving a soft peck at the tip of my knuckles.

"I'm sorry babe, it's just that this is all so new to me." Giving him a light squeeze, he then winks at me.

"You just have to relax and be yourself love. They'll love you, just as much as I do." Adam keeps his eyes on the road as he speaks.

"Babe! This is why I fell for you." Pushing my body off the seat, I reach his cheek and plant a kiss.

"I'm sure my mom will adore you." He reassures me, giving my hand a light squeeze.

"Are we almost there?" I question him as we turn left into a forest dirt road.

"Sort of." He replies, keeping focus on the road.

"Okay." I smile over at him, then turning my face to the mirror and putting on a tint of red lipstick.

As I fix the edges around my lips, a bright light from behind us blinds me momentarily.

"Who's that?" Turning my head back, I question Adam while he watches the lights through the side mirrors.

"Probably another family member." He replies focusing back on the road again.

"They got bright headlights." I compliment as I sit back down on the seat again.

"Yeah!" He chuckles.

"Here it is!" Adam and I focus on the huge house in front of us.

"Is this like her permanent home?" I question him, referring to his mother.

"Yeah, why?" He asks as he parks beside a black BMW.

"It's so beautiful and private....and huge." I whisper the last word.

"Tell her that when we get inside." Adam winks and steps out of the car.

"Then she'll definitely think I'm very materialistic." I giggle nervously and speak once he opens the car door for me.

"I promise you that she's not judge mental Emma. Besides, she loves when anyone compliments her home!" He grabs my hand, and pulls me under his embrace.

"Okay, I'm sorry Adam. I'm just so nervous about all of this." Being honest with him, I hug him tighter trying to make myself warmer.

December is the time of the year where winter kicks in and here in the woods, it's probably much colder since there's not much movement. Adam keeps his arm on my shoulders as we walk towards the house.

I notice the car with the bright headlights park next to ours. Reaching the large wooden door, Adam knocks and footsteps are quickly heard from inside as someone walks towards the door.

A beautiful tall girl with blonde hair and think eyeliner opens the door and smiles wide once her eyes land on Adam.

"Adam, you made it!" She literally tackles him, but he only stumbles back.

"He gem-gem!" He greets the young girl. She wears dark skinny jeans, with a navy blue jumper and a black beanie covering the top of her head.

"Who's this?" She questions him once she turns to me, but her attitude isn't rude or bitchy, it's more like happy and bubbly.
