Chapter 4
In Brighton
It was the holiday between the semesters. One morning Conor went home and offered me something, which I didn’t expect.
“Do you want to go with me in Brighton this Friday? We’re going to stay there for maybe a week. I’m going to introduce you to my family and you’re going to sleep in our house there.” he said with enthusiasm.
“Um, no Con! I can’t! You’ve not seen your family for 3 months and I’m just going to intrude you.” I answered.
“No, you will not! It’s going to be great! Pleaseeee Geri!” he said and looked at me like a puppy.
“Haha! Fine, fine! I’ll come, but if your mom threw me away it’s gonna be your fault.” I replied and then we laughed.
It was Wednesday. I went shopping to buy something new for Brighton. I picked up my suitcases and in the Friday morning Conor waited me with his car in front of the house.
The trip was really long. When we finally arrived in Brighton I became nervous. Conor noticed that.
“Geri everything is gonna be all right.” he smiled.
*Actually I shouldn’t be worried about anything, right?* I said to myself. *I’m not Conor’s girlfriend or something like that.*
When we arrived in front of the house Conor got out of the car and went to his mother, father, brother and sister, who waited him outside. Followed a family big group hug and then I heard how Conor said:
“Family let me introduce you my best friend Geri.” and then he gave me a sign to got out of the car.
When I went to them the first who I met was Conor’s mother Helen, after that his father Phillip, then Jack and in the end – Anna. Their family was the best I have ever seen. After that we went inside. Jack showed me the house and in the end we went out to the garden.
“So you’re Conor’s new girlfriend, a?” he started.
“Haha! No, I’m just his friend.” I replied.
“Aha! But you should know that he’s never brought any of his friends, I mean friends from the other sex, in home. He’s even never introduced us his girlfriends. So you should be proud. You’re the first one.” he said with smile.
“But I’m not his girlfriend!” I said.
“We’re going to see.” he replied and then we heard Anna.
“The dinner is ready!”
We went into the kitchen, which smelt just unbelievable.
“Mrs. Maynard the dinner smells just incredible!” I said to Helen.
“Actually today's dinner isn't my creation.” she smiled and pointed Conor.
“Hope you like it!” he smiled and began served the plates.
“Let me help you.” I said and we started to prepare the table together.
I thought that Anna wasn’t so happy about the fact his brother has brought a girl in the house, my concerns were refuted after the dinner. While I was standing on the balcony Anna came to me and said:
“Look, I thought that I’d never say this to a girl, who one of my brothers bring home, but.. I.. I like you. It’s a fact that I don’t like girls around my two brothers. I know the story about Conor and that bi*ch Amanda and I don’t want this happen again to him, because he deserves much more.”
“I understand you. I don’t want him to get hurt again too.” I replied.
“That’s why I like you even I met you before 4 hours.” Anna smiled. “Most of the girls care only about his money or fame, but you’re not like them. You care about him. I know what you’re going to say – “I’m only his friend.”, am I right? But you want to be something more.”
I was shocked! How did she know all of this?
“And please don’t try to deny. I can see it in your eyes when you look at him.” she continued.
I just couldn’t say anything in this moment. I was like an open book for her. Then we heard Helen talking to Conor and Jack
“And where you think she’s going to sleep?” Helen asked.
“Why not in my bed?” Jack offered.
“No way little brutha.” Conor said and then laughed. “Mom I just will sleep on the couch and she’s going to sleep in my room.”
“Guys if there’s someone who is going to sleep on the couch it’d be me.” I joined in the conversation.
“No Geri! You’re our guest and you’ll sleep on the bed, okay?” Helen said.
“Why not Geri and Conor sleep in Conor’s room? He has got big bed..” Anna suggested.
“I don’t have a problem with that.” Conor said with a smile.
“We know right that brutha.” Jack laughed hilarious.
“Shut up you little sh*t!” Conor replied with laugh.
“Okay, boys! Shut up!” Helen said. “So Geri what you think?” she asked me.
“Um.. If it’s going to be comfortable for Conor…” I started.
“Okay! That all I needed to know.” Helen said. “Anna will you help me to make the bed for two people?”
“Of course, mom!” Anna replied and winked at me.
*Yes! I definitely love that family!* I said to myself.
It was 11 PM. Jack offered me and Conor to go to the club, but we refused. The other part of the family went to the beds and me and Conor left alone in the garden.
“They just love you!” Conor said to me.
“You think so?” I smiled.
“Yeah! Definitely!” he replied. “Let’s go!” he took my hand and we went in the house.
We went upstairs and go to the bed. Then I asked Conor:
“Is it comfortable for you?”
“Um.. Not at all!” he replied. Then he grabbed my hand and turned me in a way that I laid on his chest. “Now everything is okay!” he said with a smile. “Goodnight Geri!”
“Goodnight Con!” I replied and we fell asleep.
I spent the whole week with Conor, Jack and Alex. We made a lot of crazy things and just had fun. And for my surprise me, Helen and Anna cried when it was time to go back to London. It was one of my best weeks ever.
