"Please put you're seatbelts on and trays up we will be landing momentarily." The pilot came on over the intercom. I looked over at Michael who had a big smile on his face I knew he was excited to see his parents. The plane safely landed and we were getting off and heading to luggage claim.

"Mum said she's pulling in now. I can't wait to see her." He said I smiled at how excited he was. We grabbed out bags and walked out to see Michaels mum.

"Mum!" He said standing up the suitcases and walking over to hug the older woman. I stayed back and awed.

"Mum, I would like to introduce you to my beautiful girlfriend, Emma." He said stepping back and pulling me forward.

"It's very nice to meet you Mrs. Clifford." I said putting my hand out for her to shake bit got pulled into a hug instead. I heard Michael chuckle a bit.

"It's so nice to meet you as well my love. But please call me Karen. My boy never shuts up about you whenever we speak." She said and I giggled looking over at Michael who didn't look embarrassed but had a proud look on his face.

"Are you guys ready to go? I've got dinner in the oven." She said and we nodded. I went back to grab my bag but Michael wouldn't let me take it claiming he got it.

"I can see you already know how stubborn he his." Karen said and I nodded laughing.

"Hey, I'm still here you know." He groaned and we just laughed. I hopped in the back so Michael could be with his mum.

"Oh don't sit by me go sit with her." She said as Michael opened the passenger door. He just nodded and slid in next to me.

"I saw the news today." Karen said

"It's my fault, I should've known someone would see us but I forgot and didn't care at that moment." He said sighing a bit and I grabbed his hand running my thumb over his knuckles.

"But, I did put something on instagram so no one made up any rumors and to confirm it." He said the rested his head on top of mine that was rested on his shoulder.

"I saw that I and I thought what you wrote was very sweet." Karen said and I saw her smile at us through the rear view mirror. I then saw a house come into sight as we pulled into the driveway.

"Okay come on you two, I'm sure Daryl probably started eating." She said laughing. We got out of the car and grabbed out bags to take inside.

"Theres my boy." I heard Michael's father say as he came into view. Michael smiled and hugged the man.

"Dad, this is Emma, my girlfriend." He said and I smiled

"Hello darling. You can call me Daryl. It's nice to meet you." He said sticking his hand out and I shook it.

"Mum has dinner already out and ready so shall we eat." He said and we nodded following him to the dining room. I sat down and Michael sat next to me with his parents across from us.

"So Emma, where do you live? Well I guess you and Michael now." Karen said.

"I live about 30 minutes out from LA it's a very secluded area." I said and they nodded.

"Michael mentioned that you worked at a little botique how is that going for you?"

"Its going good, I've been there for about 3 years now and I really like it." I explained and Karen smiled.

"Why did you and Michael move in together so early on." Daryl asked and I knew once I said it they would think I'm using him just for his money

"Money was really tight and both my best friend and I had 3 jobs combined and Michael offered to move in so he could help with that stuff. I promise I didn't say yes because I knew he had allot of money I wouldn't do that." I said looking over at Michael who smiled at me

"Well, how do you know that for sure?" Daryl asked again and Karen gave him a look.

"She wouldn't let me pay for anything dad, a majority of the time she would give me her money to use. That's why I had to go behind her back to buy these tickets." Michael said grabbing my hand.

"I'm still not sure about that." He said hesitantly.

"Daryl! She loves the boy not for his money but for his heart. Stop saying that." Karen said giving me an apologetic look and I just smiled at her.

"It's okay I understand. I just do want you to know that I would never be with someone just because of how much money they had. Yes I know Michael has allot of money but I don't like him spending it on me. I really do love your son and I don't care about his money." I said honestly

"I love you too." Michael whispered in my ear and kissed the side of my head. I smiled and leaned into his touch.

"I'm sorry Emma. I just really want the best for my son and it's happened plently of times before I wouldn't like it to happen again." Daryl apologized and I nodded.

"It's alright, I completely understand." I said and he smiled at me.

"Well we are gonna head up to my room and get out of your hair for a while." Michael said then took our dishes into the Kitchen.

"Alright, goodnight baby boy." Karen said hugging her son.

"Good night mum, dad." I hugged Karen and we took our luggage up to Michaels childhood room.

"Your room is so cozy aw." I said looking around to see he had posters up along with some pictures of him and the boys.

"This room has a lot of memories here." He said hugging me from behind.

"Now it's gonna have allot more memories with you here with me."
