Stunned silence followed after. I was shocked I thought I’d be the one to say the three letter word to her but looks like she beat me to
“Oh God I didn’t mean to say just ign-”
“I love you too” I smiled at her
“Really?”
“Yeah I love you and I love that you love me so please tell me you were joking when you said you didn’t mean to say that”
“I was just shocked, that’s all”
“Sure” I rolled my eyes and brought her lips to mine for another passionate kiss
“You ready?” I asked her as she slid into the car
“Yep let’s get this thanksgiving on the road”
“Okay there’s no rush” I gave her a quick kiss but it escalated to another passionate kiss like many of our other ones but I didn’t mind. She loved them and so did i
“I love you” she whispered against my lips
“I love you too”
“Well then Cameron let’s get thus show on the road”
“Try not to jump me when I’m driving”
“No promises”
“I’m counting on that” I pulled back and started the car ready to get on the road. It’d been a very long time since I’d gone back home too long a time.
I pulled up to a two storey house which I was glad to call my own, the front porch was still as clean as ever with mum’s flowers giving it a welcoming look, she was still planting them
“Wow your house looks nice”
“Yeah it is” I rushed out of my side of the car and quickly opened the door before she could do it herself
“What did I say about the chivalry?”
“Like I said no promises”
We were pulled out of our bubble by my mum shouting my name and rushing over to me to give me a bear hug
“Look how big you’ve grown in the past time I’ve seem” she pinched my cheeks and kept trying to pepper me with kisses but I was trying to resist the mother affection, it was embarrassing and I could see my dad laughing
I heard Alana laugh as well and my mum stopped with the public motherly display of affection and turned to give her a hug, to say that she looked shocked was an understatement she looked like she wanted to cry and I gently pulled my mum back so she wouldn’t crush her
“You’re so beautiful; Cameron did no justice in describing you”
“Thank you Mrs Colton”
“Nonsense I don’t like formalities it makes me feel old I go by the name Jade”
“Okay then Jade” she smiled at her
“Jade honey I think you need to back off you’re going to scare poor Alana away” my dad intervened pulling my mum back in his arms
“Hi I’m Jonathon but people call me John”
“Hi John” she shook his hand that he had put out
“Welcome back home son” he let go of my mum to give me a hug which I returned, I had missed my parents
“Well let’s get in the whole family and some friends are already inside mingling”
We followed them into the warm house a contrast from the chilled air and as I soon as I stepped in I was attacked by my baby sister who was holding onto my leg begging to be carried. I lifted her up giving her a hug careful not to squash her
