Tom had knocked on the door, and I was getting more nervous by second.

"You're shaking, you know there's no need to be nervous, if you get very uncomfortable we can home again, I promise." he said and he gave my hand a small squeeze.

A girl then opened the door, she was wearing a cute white dress with a lot of lace and white heels.

"Hey Tom!" she exclaimed and she hugged Tom.

"Emma, this is my girfriend Mari. Mari, this is my little sister, Emma." Tom said and I shook hands with the girl.

"Come in, you guys must be very cold." she let us into the house and we first needed to walk some stairs before we were in the apartment.

There was another girl sitting on the couch, and she immediately stood up when she saw me.

"Hi, I'm Sarah, and you are dating my little brother, aren't you?" she said as she shook my head and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm Mari." I replied and she smiled.

"So, how's my little brother doing?" Sarah said and she ruffled Tom's hair.

"Oh, come on! When do mum and dad arrive? They have something that I bought for Mari." Tom said as he sat down in the couch next to his sister.

I sat down next to Tom, but I crossed my legs and I didn't lean back trying to leave a good impression.

"So Mari, where are you from?" Emma asked as she let herself fall down on the couch next to me.

"The Netherlands, originilally." I said and Tom chuckled.

"Originally? I think that's what you meant, darling." he said and I face palmed.

"Yeah, that." I said and he quickly put one arm around me.

"Hey, doesn't matter." he wispered and he kissed my forehead.

"Her grammar is still not the best but she can certainly manage." he said and I sighed.

"It's hard, but I just hope that one day I'll be able to talk a whole day without a struggle." I said and Sarah smiled.

"And you will get there." she said making me blush.

Then there were a few more knocks on the door, and Tom ran to the door.

I heard him greet some people, I guessed it were his parents.

"Mari?! I have a present for you!?" Tom yelled and he walked into the room, his back towards me, and something in his arms.

When he turned around I gasped loudly and placed one hand on my mouth.

"Oh my god, Tom." I said and he handed me the small husky.

I softly started sniffing, and Tom quickly hugged me.

"Ah, darling. Do you like him?" he asked and I nodded.

The husky was super tiny and was very fluffy, just extremely adorable.

"What do you wanna name him?" Tom asked and I raised my shoulders.

"Something cute, I don't really know." I said he smiled with still one arm wrapped around my waist.

"Pikey, so it's Pike for short." I then smiled and he kissed my forehead.

"I love it." he wispered and I hugged him tight but making sure not to squeeze the puppy.

"Oh wait, how rude. Mari, this is my mother, Diana. And this is my father, James." Tom said and I quickly shook both their hands.

"It's very nice to meet you." I said and they both gave me a small nod.

We then all sat down to watch a christmas movie, but I was focusing on little Pikey.

"Hey, we can go play with Pike instead of watch the movie." Tom wispered making me giggle.

"Sure, sounds good." I said and Tom pulled me up by my hand.

He started pulling me out of the room, but not before his older sister could make a comment about it.

"Don't have sex in my bed, Tom!?" Sarah yelled making Tom sigh and me blush.

We walked into a very tidy room and Tom immediately jumped on the bed.

I handed Pike to him, and he hugged the puppy close.

"You are so shy around my parents! We always talk during movies, you weren't saying anything." he said and I layed down next to him.

"I was afriad that I'd say something wrong or stupid." I sighed as I grabbed Pike and started petting him softly.

"You wouldn't, you just need to loosen up a bit, just stop caring about what others think of you." he said but I shook my head.

"I can't. You know that." I said but he just pulled me closer.

When he was super close to me he climbed on top of me. He then closed his eyes and leaned in to kiss me. I quickly place Pike between us and Pike happily licked Tom's mouth.

Tom immediately opened his eyes, and he sighed.

"Sometimes I really doubt your love for me." he mumbled as he placed Pike on the ground.

"You shouldn't, I love you." I wispered and I quickly pecked his lips.

"Love you too, but I was wondering... Have you ever thought about the future." he sighed as he got off me.

"Thomas, I don't wanna get married already." I said and he chuckled loudly with his familiar giggle.

"Hehehehe, that was not what I wanted to ask." he said and I raised my eyebrows.

"Yes, I've thought about my future, Thomas. When I was a little girl I always imagined myself living in Rotterdam, a big city in the Netherlands, and have a model husband and three children. Adam, Madison and Katy. I just knew that would all happen until I moved here, my dreams kinda left at that moment..." I explained and I heard a small 'oh' coming from Tom.

"I ruined your dreams, didn't I?" Tom asked sadly and I placed one hand on my mouth.

"No, Tom! No, you never ruined my dreams. When I met you my dream plan changed, I now see a whole different future. I want to act more, and I want to be home as much as I can. After that I'll see what happens, but I hope I'm still dating you then." I said as I kissed his cheek.

"Come here." he mumbled and he strechted his arms out.

I crawled into his embrace, and I hugged him tight.

"Luke called me yesterday, he signed me up for a new mini series with the Marvel cast. And you need to go with me." he said and I nodded before he started to explain.
