Engaged To An Rockstar

Meeting My Parents

I was awoke by the bright light that nearly blinded my eyes I shield them away with my hand rolled the covers off of me and run downstairs smelling the bacon. But I stopped  short when I saw Ezra with his back turned away from me looking down at something. Walking closer I saw him holding an picture of  I don't know who as  he sighed, shook his head, run his fingers through his hair.  I walked closer trying to get an glimpse but he looked up at me then quickly put the picture in behind the toaster as he walked over to the stove. 

''Good morning my love''he said as he opened the lid smoke came rolling out an the sizzling noise of the bacon got louder ''How did you sleep?'' he asked flipping the bacon numerous of times ''Good'' I nodded with an simile 

''Great'' he smiled ''Listen dear I have some meetings to attend to so I might be late but I be home shortly'' he pushed a plate of bacon, eggs, bagel towards me along with a tall glass of orange juice ''That's fine'' I replied as I took an bite of my bagel. He smiled again while giving me an kiss on the forehead I waited till the door was close as I run towards the toaster an took out the photo. It was a picture of an guy in his late 30's or 40's he was laughing at something so hard, so hard that he was clutching over his stomach . I flipped the photo to the back seeing the words  ''Uncle Lou'' in Ezra handwriting. Maybe that was why he's was sad because he probably die or maybe he was homesick or even both but regardless he should still sees his family. I put the photo back in the toaster so at least that way he could know that I never touch it, I walked over to the bedroom laying down in the bed nearly watched TV all day trying to get my mind of the picture. But for some reason I couldn't as I just have an feeling that I meet him somewhere, that I know him somehow. Nearby I could hear my phone ringing of Shinedown ''Better Version'' instantly I know whose it was without even looking up I pressed the green button and  just said: 

''Hi mom'' I could hear her sigh in relief '' Thank goodness I thought something happened to you'' she furiously whispered '' I'm fine mom I'm okay'' I reassured ''I'm alive aren't I'' 

''Well the way you been dodging my calls and not answering my texts sure got me thinking otherwise'' she sighed again ''Anyway'' she replied with her usual happy, singing voice ''I just want to let you know that your father and I have made reservations at Vince's so I'm hoping that you and your fiance would join along with the rest of our family'' I sighed ''Mom I can't make it I got an a lot-'' I began ''Ashley it's just one dinner and besides I want to meet your fiance'' she nearly yelled. I was going to say some other excuse anything to get out of this dinner but instead she just say ''The reservation starts at 8 see you then'' before she hang up. 

In an matter of hours me and Ezra was in an limo  with the windows was rolled up as we sat in utter silence. I was looking at the window watching everything people crossing the streets, walking their dogs, laughing and smiling, curious faces looking at the limo as it droves past by. I sighed wishing I was anywhere but in an limo to an fancy restaurant  meeting my parents with my fiance on the side. Since the last thing I wanted was for him to experience the torture I been through with my parents. I felt an warm touch on my knee turning around I saw Ezra looking at me  his hazel eyes creased with worry again I sighed. 

''I'm fine Ezra'' I said still looking out the window he pats my knee 2 times ''I'm sure it would be fine Ashley after all it's just dinner'' he chuckled lightly ''Yeah just not my family'' I mumbled 

Finally the limo stopped in front of the restaurant the driver got up to opened the door but Ezra stopped him an opened it himself. He hold out his hand and I gladly took it while also trying to ignore the flash  of bright lights from camera an shouting questions from reporters. Ezra opened the door and I went inside feeling the blast of cold from the AC and hearing the classical music from the stereo.

''Ashley sweetie'' my mom said opened her arms wide for an hug I gave her one an could smell the familiar sweet perfume the one she used  wear when I was little. The smell of fresh flowers on her skin as we would go to the park I will play on the swings screaming, wanting her to push higher as she would say ''Aim for the sky sweetie''. Then after the park she would always take me out for ice cream as we will sometimes sit on the bench an just watch the sky drop. But yet those memoires faded as I sat down the table across from her and my dad whose was tapping away on his phone. Even through we're at an private table that's far from the customers however some were still looking at us, some scowling at probably what I was wearing which wasn't much or fancy.

''Richard put down your phone it's dinner time after all'' My mom said hit him on the shoulder my dad just chuckled ''Just an second dear'' he mocked her by singing song like she always does. An simile appear on my face as my dad looked at me with also an simile while putting his phone in his jacket pocket. Soon the door opened as I felt an blast of cold from the AC and hear an familiar voice.

''Listen James I will call you back I'm at an family dinner'' he said I turn around seeing him. Adam have really change since I last seen him which was when I was 12 just remembering him packing his bags an left with no goodbye or anything, but seeing him have brought back memoires. For one thing Adam is tall, taller then all of us, his dark brown eyes brightened with happiness I guess when he saw I wasn't mad.

''Are you going to stand there or are you going to give me an hug?'' he asked with an simile opening his arms wide. An I gladly let him in smelling the musky scent of him soon he let go as he sat down and behind of him was Camile. Her face was full of pure happiness as her simile was just brighter she definitely have Mom's cheerfulness.

''Hey Ashley'' she nearly sing as she hug me ''I miss you'' she mumbled

''I miss you too'' I whispered through her hair

Finally we pulled apart an all sat down Camile automatically went for the  baskets of biscuits laying on the table.

''So Ezra how did you purpose?'' Adam asked chewing on the biscuits

''Well with the help of my best friend an security guard Frankie he took her to one of my concert an I just pop the question in front of my billion fans'' He replied

''That's so romantic'' Camile cooed ''I just hope that I be propose that way or at least something similar to that ''

''Are you thinking about kids?'' Dad asked looking at us but sternly at Ezra by then the whole table was fill of silence

''Richard'' Mom warned but Dad just crossed his arms an continue to looked at Ezra whose just cleared his throat ''Although I have no problem with having an family someday however it's up to Ashley an whatever she decided I'm with her on that'' he said smiling at me. An I smiled back as I  pat him affectingly on his hand, my dad stern face vanished an went for the basket of biscuits

''Good as you know that if you hurt my daughter you be sleeping with the fishes'' he said

After the dinner you could practically see limos lining up near the front door of the restaurant along with flash lights an even more reporters. Camile gave me another hug an kiss on the cheek ''I see you soon'' she yelled after she close the door of the limo and it drove off. ''See ya Ash'' Adam gave me an quick hug too as he got in the limo an it droves off in an different direction. Before I could get in mine my mom gave me another last-longing hug as she pulled apart I could see her bright brown eyes drained away. She must seen my face of concern because she wave it off with her hand an took my hands in hers and hold it tightly.

''He's an good guy you know'' she said ''I'm so happy your engaged just be sure you invite me to the wedding'' she nearly sings but stop herself an simile once she saw me simile back. I waved her goodbye as I got in the limo. During the drive Ezra was playing with my fingers while I was looking at the window trying to make sense of Mom's expression an what's it's all about.

''See it was fine in the end wasn't it?'' Ezra asked although he sound far away

''Yeah'' I said absentminded although I know it wasn't fine
