Hey again...

Right here’s the new chapter:

Worst Night Mare : Difference of Generations

We all stood at the door of the restaurant, it was five star at least I think. I almost felt poor just stood outside of it, I had never been embarrassed about the amount of money my family had until this moment and I don’t know why it hit me so hard now. Maybe because the waiters and waitresses probable had more money than me, and still could complain they weren’t as rich as the people sat at the tables. Maybe because I knew that Tom and Tara and other members of Dan’s family that I didn’t know were sat at a table ready to judge me. Maybe I was just realising how poor I really was, and how self-conscious I was.

I felt a warm arm wrap round my waist as the others started to walk inside, “I love you just remember that” I nodded at Dan’s words still watching Chris, Vic and Chad walk through the door. Before I could back out any further Dan let go of my waist only to take my hand instead linking our fingers together. He pulled me through the door in to the busy but posh restaurant. We saw Chris’s back disappear into a door at the far end of the room, and Dan started to head that direction. When we reached the other side of door, it was to find it was a party room full of people all sat around a large table, they must have a big family because there was at least eighteen or nineteen people around the table including the people we had come with, and Tom and Tara.

Everyone grew silent when they realised I was in the room with Dan, I tried not to look at anyone facial expressions but Tara’s glare was to extreme to not notice. I had half a mind to leave go get a takeout and wait for them to be finished but Dan squeezed my hand and started to speak. “Hey everyone this is my girlfriend Izzy” I tried to smile and brought my hand up to wave. A little girl at the end of the table waved back with a huge smile. Everyone else stayed silent looking me other, silently judging me I could see it in each of their eyes. Then an old man near the head of the table opposite Tom said “Well sit her down Dan where are you manors, everyone quit staring at the girl she is part of the family” everyone automatically turned away almost looking guilty apart from Tom and Tara who were looking at the man with disbelief. I looked at Dan to see him grinning.

Dan brought me round the table to a chair next to the little girl from earlier, who was sat next to Vic. The guy sat opposite me had an easy grin on his face; his brown hair looked like it took hours to do he also wear an expensive looking shirt with a tux’s jacket over the top, and next to Dan who sat beside me the other side was a lady about the same age as the man who was at the end next to her, and opposite Dan a girl who was maybe a little older than us twenty seven or twenty eight. I was glad that I was nowhere near either Tom or Tara who were down the other end of the table, still glaring at me.

We had a fixed menu which meant they just brought you food and you just eat it no matter what it was and whether you like it or not. A type of soup was put down in front of me and I smiled at the cute looking waiter who grin back winking at me, making Dan roll his eyes and snort taking my hand under the table. The waiter disappeared and everyone started to eat, I picked up my soup with the hand which Dan wasn’t still holding under the table, and I was thankful he was holding my left hand not my right, so I could eat normally. The lady leaned forward slightly so she could see me around Dan, “Hello dear I am Dan’s grandmother, but you can call me Grandma or Florence, which ever you prefer, this is my husband Malcolm but you can call him Granddad if you wish” I was surprised that they would allow me to call them grandma and granddad when I had only just met them, but I didn’t want to be rude so didn’t voice my surprise.

“This is Dan’s cousin Tiffney” she said nodding towards the girl who was sat opposite Dan who smiled at me when she noticed she was being introduced.  “This is….” the guy held up his hand silencing Florence or Grandma, making her roll her eyes “I can introduce myself Gram Gram” Granddad or Malcolm snorted and shook his head. “Hey I am Ian, I am Dan’s cousin and I am Gay” he said with a big smile “Izzy and I am straight” I said a bit confused, Dan squeezed my hand “Don’t mind him he likes to get that out so people don’t go all weird if they find out later.” I nodded and shrugged “Does bother me.” He smiled, and nodded for Florence to continue “And sat next to you is Tiffney’s daughter, Clair”  I turned to see Clair was smiling and waving at me, but when she noticed I was now looking at her she said “Hey” I laughed “hey”.
