It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

Thanksgiving With The Guys' Families

We all head to the airport in the middle of the day Tuesday to fly out to our separate places for the family dinners of Mike and Alex.

"Have fun in Ohio." I say as we get to our gates which were right next to each other again.

"Have fun in DC." Aly replies.

We all disappear through the doorways heading to our planes, and we board them.

"So your family really wants to meet me?" I ask Alex as we find our seats.

"Yeah, they're all looking forward to it." Alex nods.

"Well that's good, can't wait to meet them either." I smile.

"I figured you'd be more nervous." He comments.

"Me nervous about it? No, I'm very much calm about it. I mean there's nothing to be nervous about."

"I stand corrected. You ramble when you're nervous." He says, raising an eyebrow.

"I do not ramble when I'm nervous."

"Yes you do." He replies.

"Babe, you have nothing to worry about, my family is going to love you."

"Well are you nervous about meeting my family Thursday? Cause they'll love you as well."

"Maybe a bit..." Alex trails off.

"Now you don't have to worry about anything. My dad may seem a little...well you know how fathers are. Other than that everything's going to be fine...promise."

"If you say so."

"And plus, we'll be meeting up with Mike and Aly when we get there, you know since her family and mine are so close, one big dinner...happens every year."

"Sounds interesting." He comments.

"But everything will be fine, you have nothing to worry about."

"Okay."

"We have a long flight so I think I'm going to get some rest in before we get to DC." I say, before settling into my seat to get comfortable enough to sleep.

Alex lifts the armrest between our seats.

"You can lay down on my lap if you want. I feel pretty awake for now." He offers.

"Good idea." I say, moving and laying down on his lap.

He chuckles and runs his fingers through my hair. Meanwhile Aly and Mike are on their plane in their seats and he can clearly see the nervous look on her face. She's sitting there, chewing on her lip and bouncing her leg while staring off into space when she feels a hand on her knee. She jumps a little and focuses, her eyes locking with Mike's.

"Hmm?"

"You don't need to be nervous you know."

"Can't help it. This is only the second time I've done the 'meet the parents/family' thing and I wasn't as in love with that guy as I am with you so I'm more worried now than I was the first time." She says, still chewing her lip.

"We've talked about this, they're going to love you don't worry...especially my mom."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's because ever since she found out that we were together, she's wanted to meet you."

"What does your dad think?" She asks curiously.

"The same thing, he's wanted to meet you since they found out about you."

"Hm..." She muses quietly and resumes chewing her bottom lip as the plane takes off.
