Reality [zayn a.u.]

18.

*Zayn's POV*

I knew that my parents were finally here as the doorbell rang at Bristol's parents' house. Bristol's parents invited my family over for their Christmas party, but of course, they wanted to meet my parents beforehand. It took a lot of teeth pulling for my parents to even come all the way from Washington to Calabasas.

Bristol had been gone all day leaving me with her family. It was actually pretty chill and I was already familiar with them so helping with the set up for the party kept me entertained.

Bentlee opened the door for my parents and then she excitedly walked to the rest of us with my parents whom I hugged briefly before I introduced them to each family member.

"Which one's your girlfriend?" My dad asked.

My eyes widened, "She's not here, yet. She's been out all day preparing for tonight and tomorrow."

My parents nodded their head and I quickly pulled out my phone to notify Bristol.

From Zayn Malik:

***My parents are here.

She answered almost immediately.

From Bristol Tomlinson:

***S hit. I'm almost there. I'm literally on my parents' street.

"She's almost here." I assured them.

Knowing her, she probably went way over the speed limit to get here because not even two minutes later, I heard the door open.

When she walked into the living space where we all were, she had a wide smile on her face and hair was flowing down her shoulders. She looked directly at my parents with a huge smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Bristol. It is so lovely to meet the both of you." Bristol said with a wide smile. "I heard so much about you two."

Which was a lie. I rarely talked about my parents. But it seemed to be working because my parents' eyes glistened as they introduced themselves to Bristol. They looked impressed almost.

"You are so beautiful." My mom complimented which was so unlike her.

"Oh, I'm flattered. Thank you." Bristol blushed and looked down.

She shook hands with my dad who looked over at me with a smile.

"Mr. Malik, I see where Zayn gets all of his incredible looks from." Bristol winked at him.

My dad actually laughed at her. I was confused at what was happening.

"I'm so happy that you guys are spending the holidays with us. It is such a treat!" Bristol exclaimed. "Are you staying at a nearby hotel?"

"Oh, yes, dear. We are staying at one just about five minutes away. We were actually going to go there now to check in and get situated." My mom explained.

"Oh, yes, of course, you do that and relax before the party. I'll be happy to send a driver out to pick you two up." Bristol offered.

I could tell my parents would be impressed.

"That would be so lovely, Bristol. Thank you." My dad said with a smile.

Bristol smiled widely.

"Okay, great. It was so nice meeting you guys."

Bristol then showed them out and then walked back to the living space. My girlfriend literally made my parents forget about me.

"How did you do that? How did you get them to like you?" I asked her.
