I was sat texting Georgia about my impending visit to his house for dinner. Chris only went a couple of hours ago, so I didn't want to worry him about my nerves. I mean this is his mum, if she doesn't like me then our budding relationship could be ruined.
"I mean what do I even wear, I don't want to be formal, but I don't wan to come across like I don't care." I ranted.
"I'd just wear a pair of your nice jeans and one of your nice tops, with like a blazer or jacket over the top."
"That's a good idea. I've been out and bought her some flowers and some wine and chocolate."
"Make a good impression." Georgia laughed.
"Right well I better get ready, Chris is picking me up in an hour and I need to have a shower." I said.
"Good luck, I'll speak to you soon. Come round ours tomorrow and tell me how it went."
I hung up and made my way upstairs. I hadn't told Georgia about the agreement we made as I wanted to surprise everyone.
I had a shower and then got ready. I changed into some jeans and a cream blazer, with some wedges. But I decided it was too hot so I just left that. I then put on some necklaces and did my natural make up.

I heard the doorbell ring and grabbed the present bag and flowers, then made my way downstairs. I opened the door and found Chris stood there in a nice shirt and skinny jeans.
"Hey babe" I said and kissed his cheek.
"Hey, you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yep"
We went into his Audi and I out the presents on the back seat, and sat on the passenger seat, he insisted he held the door open for me. He got in the driver seat and told me that the journey took around 10 minutes.
"You know you didn't have to get her a present."
"I know but I just felt like it would be a nice thing to do. I want your mum to like me so this should win me some points."
He shook his head and laughed. "Well I'm sure she'll like them and you for that matter."
"Thanks. So what are we having?"
"Well Jon is cooking so don't hope for much. It'll most likely be something like spaghetti bolognaise, or something simple like that."
"That's the best type of food"I commented.
He pulled into a driveway of a big brown house, which had beautiful gardens surrounding it. "And this is home."
I grabbed my presents from the backseat and we made our way up the drive. He grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it, it was almost as if he could feel how nervous I was. We entered the house and made our way through to the back where his mum and Jon were sat at the table
"Hello" Chris shouted and guided me out. "Mum this is Charlotte, Charlotte this is my mother."
"Oh she is a beauty just like you said." She said and stood up. "Call em Amanda"
"Charlotte" I gave her a hug. "I've actually got you something"
"You didn't have to" She said hut I shook my head and pulled out the chocolates and flowers. "Thank you,come and sit down"
I sat down next to Chris and gave Hon a quick hug. He then disappeared inside and came out with a tray, containing my favourite meal of lasagne.
"I hope lasagne is alright, I checked with Pete and he said you'd like it."
"Jon this is making me consider which brother to get with" They all laughed. "Lasagne is my favourite meal, but I think I'll stick with Chris."
"Thanks babe" Chris said sarcastically and we all started eating. It was actually really good, considering Chris said for me not to expect much.
"That was really good" I said as we all watched the sunset on the loungers. I was sharing one with Chris and had borrowed his jumper as I was really cold.
"Thanks." Jon said and then noticed all our drinks were empty. "Chris why don't you and I go and fill up the drinks."
"Okay" he said and made his way inside with our glasses.
"I can see that he really likes you" Amanda said.
"I really like him too. We just click, it's like I changed tell him anything and I hope he feels the same way back."
"So are you close to your family?"
"I'm rally close with my mum and dad, but he's away a lot for work so I don't see him for long periods of time. I'm close to my brother, but we've kind of grew apart due to his girlfriend."
"That's unfortunate" She said and then the boys came back out.
Jon went I've to his mum and whispered something, which made he both go inside. Chris settled himself back onto the lounger and then turned to me. "So I really need to ask you a question?"
"What would this question be?" I said acting clueless.
"I think you know. Charlotte will you be my girlfriend?"
"I'd love to" I said and then pulled Him in for a kiss.
We watched the stars emerge for the rest of the night in each other's arms.
