Justin: Well there's a difference
You: Which is?
Justin: My dad doesn't polish his shot gun when I mention your name

You giggle

You: He's not that bad...he's just protective
Justin: Tell me about it, I looked at him through the closed car window at the bottom of your drive and he was glaring at me like I just run over your dog

You laugh again

You: He'll love you when he gets to know you
Justin: *sighs* Idk [your name]...
You: Please babe

You give him puppy dog eyes

You: For me?
Justin: Fineeeee
You smile
You: Yay! Thank you!
Justin: When?
You: The weekend?
[its Wednesday]
Justin: Okay..what if he hates me?
You: He won't hate you, you make me happy right? How can he hate someone who makes his daughter happy
Justin smiles a little, you could tell he was nervous.
You: Don't worry babe it's gonna be okay

You kiss his cheek, Justin nods and half smiles again. You carry on watching TV.

[its Saturday]
You're waiting by Justin's open front door holding the car keys ready to leave. Justin's still upstairs deciding what to wear, he's changed his outfit 8 times in the past 30 mins.
You*shout upstairs*: JUSTIN?!
Justin*shouts down*: Coming!
Justin comes down in a suit with a shirt and tie. You smirk.
Justin: Too much?
You: You look handsome but we're not going to a wedding
You walk over to him, take his jacket off, take his tie off and un button his first two top buttons of his shirt
You: Much better
You kiss him but he barely kisses back, you look him in the eyes but he doesn't look back
You: Babe look at me
He does
You: Relax, everything's gonna be okay. Trust me.
Justin nods
Justin: Okay
This time he kisses you and passionately. You smile
You: That's more like it
You both smirk and get in the car, you drive home.
You get out with Justin and you both walk inside. Your dads watching the LA Lakers on TV in the living room and your moms cooking in the kitchen.
You: I'm home..and there's someone I'd like you to meet
Your mom and dad come out to the hallway where you and Justin are. Justin's standing behind you like a shy puppy and holding your hand.
You: Mom, dad..this..
You move out the way
You:..is my boyfriend Justin
Your mom comes over and gives him a big hug
Mom: So nice to finally meet you Justin. [your name] has told me so much about you! Welcome to the family!
Justin lightly places his hand on your moms back to accept the hug.
Justin: Thank you, It's nice to meet you too Mrs [your last name]
Mom: Oh please call me [your moms name]
Justin: Sure Ma'am
Mom: No no, none of that proper stuff I've told you call me [y/m/n]
Justin smiles
Justin: Of course [y/m/n]
Your dad hasn't said a thing to Justin, you, Justin and your mom look at him.
Dad: Sports fan?
Justin: Y-yes sir..
Dad: What type?
Justin: Basketball and Ice Hockey Sir
Dad: Basketball team?
Justin: LA Lakers Sir
Dad: Hm..
There was about 30 seconds before your dad did anything else which seemed like 3 hours. He holds out his hand for Justin to shake. He does.
Dad: You can call me Mr [y/l/n]
Mom: [y/d/n]!
Dad: What? I don't know this kid yet
Justin: Justin, Mr [y/l/n]
You roll your eyes
Mom: So! Who's hungry?
She walks back into the kitchen, you and Justin follow her. Your dad glares at Justin as he walks past him an then follows behind him.
You all sit at the dining table and your mom serves the food.
Dad: So Jason,
You: Justin
Dad: What?
You: His names Justin
Dad: Well whatever your name is, how old are you?
Justin: 21 Sir
Dad: Where are you from?
Justin: Canada Sir
Dad: Hm..what do you do?
Justin: I sing Sir
Your dad laughs
Dad: No, what do you really do?
You: He's being serious Dad
Dad: Well prove it then
You: What?
Justin looks at you nervously
You: He doesn't have to sing for you
Dad: He does if he wants me to believe he's a "singer"
You*to Justin*: You don't have to
Justin: It's okay I will
Justin sings What Do You Mean
Dad: Not bad
You look at him
Mom: Wow your voice is amazing
Justin smirks
Justin: Thanks
You: Um I gotta go the bathroom
You look at your dad again
You: Be nice
You leave the room
Dad: Okay so you can sing but why should I like you?
Justin: Um..because I make your daughter happy
Dad: Yeah so would a puppy
Justin: Because I know I can treat her the way she deserves
Dad: Mmhm which is?
Justin: Like a queen, I'll spend my life making sure she never wants for anything because she'll have everything she needs and wants and more.
Dad: How do I know you won't hurt her and break her heart?

You come back from the bathroom and hear your dads question to Justin, you stand back so no one can see you and wait for Justin's answer

Justin: Because I'm passed all that stage in my life I've grown up and learned how to be a man and how an man has to treat his girl right. Plus I've never felt like this about a girl before I-I'm in love with her..
Dad: You're what?
You come into the room when you hear what he said
You: Yeah, you're what?
Justin stands up and gets hold of both your hands.
Justin: I'm in love with you [your name]
You: Im in love with you too Justin
Justin: You are?!
You: Yeah, I have been for awhile I was just too scared to tell you
Justin: You never have to be scared to tell me anything okay? I love you so much
You smile
You: I love you so much too!
Justin pulls you close and kisses you deeply in front of your mom and dad.
Dad: I think I'm gonna like this kid
All of you giggle
Dad: Welcome to the family son. Oh and you can call me [y/d/n]
Justin looks at him and smiles
Justin: Thanks, I will.
