Ryder's P.O.V

I sat about a block away from willows house. I wanted to stay outside but I also didn't want to seem like well a creep for waiting outside for her call. I waited outside for about an hour then she called. As always I answered right when my phone buzzed.

"Hey" her voice had no time to it.

"Hey Queen Willow" I started in a funny voice. I figured incase she had bad news she could use a laugh. "So.... How'd it go?"

"It went absolutely amazing. Sorry I took so long to call!"

"It's okay love I went home like you told me too." I lied

"Well come back in about two hours.... He wants me to get rid of all my dorky clothes!! He said he will let me get some nice clothes that well aren't frumpy."

"Wow! That's great babe!"

"Yeah! I'm just so happy we can be together. He wants to meet you so when I get everything with my clothes under control I will call you."

"Am I on speaker?"

"No of coarse not I went outside in the woods behind my house to make sure our conversation would be extra private. Why?"

"I need to see you. Can we meet in a few? Please?"

"Baby I told you I can't I have to go soon and I can probably be ready in less than an hour."

"Just please Owe don't be too long I want to see you."

"And you will I promise. I have to go now. I love you."

"I love you too"

After she hung up I drove home. To meet Mr. Hummel I needed help from a pro. So when I got home I showered got all my homework done and combed my hair to make sure it was perfect. I sat on my bed in my sweat pants and tee shirt and texted jake.

"Dude I know you don't support me and Willow but I need your help. No questions asked can I have your brothers phone number?"

Jake: "why?"

"I need it no questions asked"

Jake: "he won't let me give it to you"

"Please tell him it's about Willow she's in trouble wait no I'm in trouble and I need him"

I looked down at my phone waiting for a text from jake. Suddenly I got a call from a new number.

"Hey is this Ryder?"

"Yes who is this?"

"It's puck look sorry about jake he lied about me saying you can't have my number. He's just really pissed about you and Willow going out and I have no idea why I mean they were friends over the summer and whatever. So what's going on?"

"Well it's actually about Willow I need your help with something."

"I'm all ears"

"Well I have to meet her father today and I have no idea how to.. Like make a good impression. Since you used to date her I thought you would know."

"Okay first things first dress to impress remember that. Make sure he knows you really care about her. That's what he really cares about. Just make sure you show how much you care about her. Got it?"

"Um yes I think so. Anything else?"

"If he asks you're a virgin and you plan to be. The thing he didn't like about me dating her was he thought I would force her to do it. Just make sure he knows you want to date her for other reasons and that you would never try to do that with her."

"Okay I got it is that it?"

"No. Make sure you compliment Willow in front of her dad. Did you meet carol yet?"

"Yes and she seemed to like me."

"That's a good start. What did you do in front of carol?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like what was her first impression of you?"

"Oh. I got Willow a bouquet of her favorite flowers, told Willow she looks beautiful, and when carol asked about school ad stuff I guess I was honest?"

"Does that mean that your answers were good?"

"Yea I told her about my dyslexia and how I met Willow and everything."

"Well sur I think as long as you remember all of those things Mr. Hummel will love you."

"Thanks dude!"

"Anytime bro. As willows potential brother I do ask that you take care of her and don't hurt her."

"Dot worry I will take perfect care of her and I wouldn't dream of hurting her."

"That's the mistake I made. Don't make that mistake."

"I won't"

"Good. Now good luck and remember that she's worth it."

"I will thanks again dude."

I put on a pair of jeans, and a button down tee shirt, I put on the nicest cleanest pair of sneakers I had. Then I combed my hair till it was absolutely perfect.

"Hey sweetie where are you going?" My mom asked

"I'm going to hang out with Willow."

"Oh well why are you so dresses up?" She replied nosy

"Mom you know I like her! Why wouldn't I dress up to see her?"

"She will love you the way you are." My mom replied pinching my cheek.

"Ugh mom"

"Oh wait sweetie I almost forgot here these are for you."

She handed me a small pile of photos.

"What are these?" I asked

"Just look at them!"

I flipped through a whole bunch of pictures of me and Willow. There were ones of us studying, one of us after football, one from before sectionals, and regionals, one from prom, one from the Sadie Hawkins dance, some of us just sitting on the couch, from Halloween, Christmas. Everything. There were pictures in here from before I even had a crush on her.

"Wow thanks mom this is.. This is awesome." I said more excited about these pictures than I thought I would be.

"You're welcome sweetie. Now go meet Willow, I hope you can call her your girlfriend soon."

"Yea me too."

My mom had no idea about the dinner, the phone calls, the kissing, anything. I won't tell her till after we are officially allowed to date though. I went to my car. My precious queen awaits me. Before I left I texted her.

"Hey beautiful. Can I come now?"

Willow: "yea lol I was just gonna call you! come over now cutie!"

I smiled when I saw her text. Whenever she texts me calls me or is with me, even just thinking or dreaming about her makes me so happy.

Willow's P.O.V

I waited outside on the porch for Ryder. Yes I am a little nervous but I am also extremely excited to be able to call him my boyfriend at any time, to hug him whenever I want, to be able to walk down the halls with him holding his hand. I wonder what's taking him so long! It's probably his mom again. I made a huge mistake telling her I have feelings for Ryder. Especially since I told her when we were clearly nothing more than friends. I looked at my phone and went through my pictures. I don't want my lock screen to be some dumb picture of a flower anymore because I am not a loner! I found a picture of me and Ryder and set it as my lock screen, then I set a picture of just Ryder as my home screen. I didn't even hear him pull up. The next thing I know he's right in front of me. I jump up right when I see him.

"Oh goodness Ryder you startled me"

I hugged him then took his hand and brought him into the living room where he will meet my father.
