Anthony and Jasmine had been dating for six months now and every time he would bring up meeting her parents she would come up with an excuse. Anthony wasn't having it anymore, he was beginning to think something was wrong with him. Why didn't she want him to meet her parents?

Today was the day. They'd finally meet. Saying that Jasmine was nervous was an understatement. Her parents had this idea in their heads that if she was with someone from any kind of 'project' as they called it, they weren't good enough for her. Bushwick wasn't the worst place to live but it wasn't the best either. Jasmine personally didn't see why it mattered so much. She was with Anthony because she loved Anthony, she didn't care where he came from. It didn't matter to her. He had a good heart.

She gripped his hand a little tighter as they walked up the street to where her childhood home was.

"Babe, it's okay." Anthony said. After all, shouldn't he be the nervous one?

"They're just, not exactly what you'd expect Ant."

"Jas, I'm sure it'll be fine." He said kissing her head. She saw her house and let out a big breath. She loved her parents, but she also loved Anthony. If she had to choose one she wouldn't know who to pick. They walked up the stairs to the door of her house and she knocked lightly, almost hopping they wouldn't hear.

Her mother opened the door shortly after and looked more than pleased.

"Jazzy!" She said engulfing her daughter into a hug.

"Hi mom." She said smiling. Her mother looked past her daughter and at the young man behind her.

"You must be Anthony." She said greeting him with a warm smile.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Jones." He said putting a hand out.

"Oh please, call me Kim." She said giving the boy a hug. Things were off too a good start.

"Where's Dad?" Jasmine asked hanging up her jacket and then taking Anthony's too.

"He went out to get wood from the back for the fire." Her mom informed her. Jasmine nodded and took Anthony's hand once more.

"Why don't you show Anthony around the house and I'll set the table." Her mother added.

"Okay." Jasmine said relived.

"That wasn't so bad." Anthony whispered as they made there way upstairs.

"I think maybe it'll be okay." She said still hesitant.

"What are you so worried about?" He asked.

"Nothing." She said shutting it down quickly. She walks him through the house and then to her old room. She hasn't actually been in it for a while. Everything still looked the same. The walls were purple and there was a 'J' hanging over her bed.

"I've been looking for this!" Jasmine exclaimed picking the Prince CD up off of her desk. She left a lot of things here with the intentions of coming back for them. The more she found she happier she would become. She almost forgot why they were there at all. She would find something and then explain the whole backstory of it to Anthony. He loved when she got like this, so lost in the moment. There was a knock at the door and he father stepped in.

"I knew I heard you." He said smiling.

"Hi Dad." She said happily getting up from the pile of stuff she was going through to give him a hug.
