Of Love and Misadventure: A lauren cimorelli Story

SEVEN ○ CHRIS' POV

I was looking for bedroom ideas on pinterest when mom shouted my name downstairs. "Coming, Mom!" I shouted as I leave my macbook open on my study table. I went down to see lauren sitting on the sofa in the living room, I went to her and ask her what brought her here.

Lauren: are you free later?
Me: Well, i guess so. Perhaps, i have no reason to be busy at all.
L: Great! My parents are inviting you for dinner tonight?
M: Wait, what? (I thought I misheard her)
L: My parents are inviting you tonight, to have dinner with the whole fam!
M: Oh, wow... (I DID NOT EXPECT THAT I WAS GOING TO BE INVITED BY HER PARENTS TO HAVE DINNER WITH THEM)
L: So... Are you coming?
M: Of course! Of course, I will be ther. But...
L: But what?
M: I have to admit but Im nervous!
L: Don't worry! I got your back! (Lauren winked at me)
M: Dont leave me alright?
L: Of course, I won't! I promise! So i guess ill see you later? (She stood up)
M: Yes, you will sure do! (I stand up and we walk towards the door.)
L: I better get going now!
M: alright (i opened the door) See you later!

I let her cross the street before closing the door. We waved goodbye to each other as we both close the door.
"MOM! IM HAVING A DINNER LATER WITH THE CIMS!!" I shouted running up to the dressing room
"YES I KNOW, LAUREN INFORMED ME ALREADY!" She shouted back

I push the sliding door of my cabinet and look for clothes to wear for later's dinner with the Cinorelli's. I wanted to wear something neat so that ill have a good impression to Lauren's family especially her parents! I have decided to wear a White buttondown, Light denim pants and black loafers. I pick my specs, rayban clubmaster to pair with my outfit for the dinner later. I went back to my room with the clothes that Ill wear. I search for hairstyles that Id cope awhile ago. I decided to get a haircut since its just 2 pm.

Dad and I went out for an hour and a half for our hairs to be treamed. I coped a faded mohawk while dad literally have his hair treamed. I changed my hairstyle because i want to look fresh when Lauren's family meet me. I am very excited yet nervous. When we got back from salon, I charged my phone. At 5 pm, I hopped in the shower. I put button my short sleeve polo, wear my pants folding the bottom twice, put on my footsocks and wear my loafers. I comb my hair and have it styled, after I grab my perfume and sprinkle a little. I wore my clubmaster eyeglasses and stand infrint if the mirror in my room. I think everything is well!

"You look good. Ready to go?" Someone said. I look back to see lauren. The white shirt fits the denim shorts and the black chuck taylor's she's wearing. Her hair was wavy, she put on a natural look of make up on her face - She takes my breath away. "Yes, I am!" I said smiling. We went out of my room and say our goodbyes to my parents.

"I'm really really nervous" I said as we walk to their house
"I'm here! I got you!" She replied
"Promise?" I asked her
"Promise!" She replied smiling

She ring the door bell until a really tall lady opened the door for us. I saw like a dozen of people or more as we enter their house. I was really nervous that time I thought I can feel my muscles shaking, my body cold as ice and my hands getting sweaty. Even though my nervouse meter was extremely high, I try to stay calm. Lauren introduced me to the whole family, from her brothers down to her sisters and of course, her parents. I was smiling and shaking their hands the whole time! After, we all went to the dining area and eat. I sit beside her parents and her. Before we eat, the whole family and I held hands as we thank the lord for the food that we will eat. I held laurens hand and felt a little relief.

Lynne (Lauren's Mom): So how are you chris? Do you feel better now
Me: Im grand Ma'am! How about you?
Lynne: Oh please! (She smiled) dont call me 'maam' just call me aunt lynne! (Lauren handed me the roasted chicken, I get one piece amd put it on my plate)
Me: Im sorry about that, aunt lynne! (Lauren put mashed potato on my plate, I smiled at her as a sign of thank you)
Mike (Lauren's Dad): And uncle mike for me, Chris!
Me: Noted, Sir! I mean, Uncle mike! (I smiled)
Mike: Why'd you moved here in Nashville, Chris? (Lauren handed me pasta, i get some and pht it on my plate)
Me: My parents decided that we move here because of their work and business. Maybe, because of my studies too? (I said politely, after my sentence i took a bite of the roasted chicken)
Me: (once my mouth is empty i said:) Oh wow! This taste really good! (I complimented)
Lynne: Im glad you liked it!
