Short one shots

Feelings Exposed

The whole car ride to his house was quiet. My mind was focused on Gracie and how soon everyone would know.

I should be the one to tell her.

But what am I going to tell her? We're not dating. I like him yeah, but that doesn't mean that he feels the same way.

Should I just go ahead and say that I've been sleeping with him for a month?

She's going to hate me.

"Hey," Andy reached over and gently touched my cheek. "we're here." I sat up straight and looked out the window. The car was pulling in to his drive way.

I watched as his house, the one that I've seen countless times, came closer. My nerves reached their peak and my mind was now focused on his parents.

His mom was going to be a problem.

"Well, I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be." I gave him a weak smile.

He chuckled and kissed my cheek. "It's going to be fine."

I pushed down my blush, not wanting to dwell on the fact that he kissed my cheek. It wasn't with any sexually intention whatsoever.

I smiled and stepped out with him. He intertwined our fingers and lead the way.

Do I look okay? Or is his mom not gonna approve of the way I look?

"Crap." I groaned and tightly shut my eyes. We stopped walking and I felt his hands touch my face.

"What's wrong?" I opened my eyes and looked directly into his.

"I'm just really nervous and I don't know what's going to happen with your mom." And Gracie.

"Forget about my mom, it's just one dinner." He smiled weakly. "I'm afraid of her, yeah, but you don't have to be."

I laughed and nodded slowly. "You're right."

"Of course i am." He grinned cheekily.

"Oh shut up." I pushed him with my shoulders, making him laugh.

"Don't you just love me?" He opened the front door and I walked in after him. "I'm just so amazing."

"No you're not." I held back my laughter and kept a straight face. "Stop lying to yourself."

Andy faked a hurt look. He couldn't hold it successfully and bursts out laughing. I soon joined him but ended up just watching him laugh. His eyes gleam happily and his teeth show.

"I lied. You're pretty amazing." His laughter stopped and he stared back at me.

"I keep trying to tell yo-"

"Anthony, your mothers waiting." We both turned to face Andy's dad. "Hi Amber." He shook my hand and pulled me in for a hug.

"Oh uh..." Andy turned to look at me. "We'll be right there."

"You know she doesn't like to be kept waiting."

Andy sighed and nodded. "I do."

"I love seeing you two together." He grinned and he had the same twinkle in his eye as Andy. I smiled back and reached for Andy's hand. "You guys are so adorable."

He laughed and walked into the direction of the dining room. We followed after him and took a seat next to each other. The table was big enough to fit 8 people- three on each side and two on each end- and the room was elegantly decorated.

"Hi, thank you for having me again." I said, greeting Andy's mom  I smiled gratefully and she smiled back.

"Glad to have you here." She turned away and I looked at Andy when I felt him nudge me.
