You were sat in the back as Jack was driving and Conor called shotgun. Biting your nails and crossing your legs over each other, you felt nervous. The anxiety kicking in. Jack parked in the driveway of a huge white brick house. It looked stunning.
"Don't be nervous. Why you nervous? Don't be nervous," Conor spoke fast. Scoffing and knitting your brows together, you shot him a look.
"Why would I be nervous? I'm only meeting the family of my boyfriend and best friend! I'm not nervous!" You said, sarcasm dripping from your words. Conor rolled his eyes and got out of the car, walking into the house.
"It will be fine. They'll love you!" Jack exclaimed, kissing your hand. "And if they don't.... Don't worry they will," he chuckled as you walked up the small stone path and into the warm home. You were greeted by his sister Anna, who welcomed you inside and punched Jack's arm. Wearing some high waisted skinny jeans and a burgundy crop top and an adidas jacket, you felt naked compared to what everyone else was wearing. Track pants, jeans, jumpers or jackets.
"Dad, this is Y/N, my girlfriend," Jack beamed. You looked at him and smiled. He called me his girlfriend d to someone!
"Nice to meet you, Y/N. I'm Gary. Helen darling, their here!" Mr. Maynard cheered. Mrs. Maynard walked into the living room with an apron and a tray of cookies in her hand. She set down the tray on the coffee table and ushered you into a hug. She smiled sweetly and from the corner of your eye, you saw Anna take 2 cookies. She smiled and put a finger to her lips before sliding the cookies into her pocket.
"So nice to finally meet you, Mr. And Mrs. Maynard," you blushed as Jack's hand wrapped back around yours.
"Please, it's Helen and Gary," she said smiling so much, little crinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes. After everyone took a cookie or two from the tray, Helen walked back into the kitchen. Conor and Anna were on the first couch and laughing about something on Anna's phone, while Jack told you to sit down on the second couch. There was another two seater sofa on the other side of Anna and Conor, but you could tell that was the parents seat.
"Footballs on dad!" Anna called. Gary shot into the living room, faster them you could say "arsenal" and Helen followed with 5 mugs on a tray.
After watching the match and drinking your hot chocolate, you and Jack decided to play a game yourself. Jack and Anna were on one team, while you and Conor were on your own team.
"Four to four guys. It's the last goal. Y/N, get ready to have your ass whipped!" Jack shouted. Rolling your eyes and death glaring Jack, you called back "better get ready to be falling on your ass. I have these skills you lack!"
Obviously, you scored the last goal, sending Jack and Anna on their knees. It started to get dark, so you all went inside and bid your goodbyes before driving back to London.
