Preath - Meeting The Friends

I just love this picture because they look so happy, and I don't care what they are just look at those smiles.

I don't know the people in the picture, so I'm making all these people up (and the story behind the setting)

**

Tobin takes girlfriend Christen to meet her friends from home for the first time.

"Let's go." Tobin parked the car outside of her good friend Hayden's house, already in the process of exiting the car when she noticed Christen looking nervous.

"Are you okay?" Tobin asked, closing the door she had already opened up. Christen snapped out of her thoughts, and tried to give a genuine smile to her girlfriend, but failed.

"I'm just nervous." She sighed, leaning her head back against the car seat. Tobin frowned, but tried to be understanding the best that she could, even though she wasn't sure why.
"I'm not trying to be mean, you know? It's believe it or not, meant to be fun." Tobin joked, earning a little smile from the other girl. Christen nodded slowly.

"I know. But it's just- what if they don't like me?" Christen spoke up, and Tobin finally understood what she was nervous about.
"They'll love you. They already do, everyone knows who you are." Tobin tried cheering her up by saying the right things, but it didn't seem to help all that much.
"They all know who I am? No, that's terrifying. What if I'm not like they except?" Christen worried again, and Tobin was the one to sigh now, but with a smile. She couldn't help but like the idea that Christen wanted to impress her friends and make a good impression.

"Where is this coming from? You were looking forward to this, weren't you?" Tobin asked, not getting what suddenly changed.
"I was, I am! It's just, you speak so warmly of these people and I just don't wanna let you down. I want them to like me, I need them to." Christen looked at her girlfriend now, and saw how Tobin couldn't help but smile.

"What are you smiling for, you idiot?" Christen added, shaking her head at how silly the other girl was being. She couldn't hide a smile herself though, when seeing that contagious one on her girlfriends smug face.

"You're cute." Tobin said simple, having a coyly smile on her face now, and christen couldn't stop mirroring it to her own annoyance.

"Come here." Tobin whispered huskily, and pulled Christen closer to her by the collar of her shirt. Christen kept her smile, as their lips met halfway just seconds later.

"They are going to love you, almost as much as I do. I know that. Not let's go." Tobin pulled away shortly, not wanting to drag it out too much. She knew her friends would easily see how flushed she could get if that kiss had gone on for much longer. 

"I love you." Christen said, as they now finally exited the car. Christen was still nervous, but also excited. She had been looking forward to meeting Tobin's friend, seeing as Tobin had met hers several times already. Of course they all loved her instantly, just like the rest of the freaking world cause you know, how can you not love Tobin Heath?

"Toby!" A tall blond opened the door before they even got to ring the bell, and her face lit up when she saw the two standing there.
"I thought I heard something." She continued, as she practically threw herself around Tobin's neck. Tobin always insists on her not being much of a hugger, but everyone else seems to ignore that statement, myself included.

"I missed you." Tobin mumbled out, as the blonde let go of her. The attention then turned towards Christen, and she suddenly became severely shy for some reason.
