i smile as ethan grips my hand, almost dragging me into the restaurant.
we're lead to a booth in the corner of the large building full of people. menus are placed on the table before the waiter walks off.
"princess," ethan says, taking a sip of his drink, "i have a question."
"what is it?" i furrow my eyebrows, already feeling nervous.
"so, um, it's my parents anniversary this weekend and they want me to come over." he sighs, "i just wanted to know if you'd come?"
i've never met any of my boyfriends parents and i grew anxious as he waited for my answer. he bites his bottom lip and watches me hesitantly speak.
"i don't know, ethan. what if they don't like me? and it's their day, so i shouldn't intrude anyway." i shake my head.
"you're not intruding, elle. i'm bringing you." he chuckles, causing me to sigh.
"baby, i need to show them that i can do something right."
"what do you mean?" i tilt my head.
"i don't know. i just always feel like i'm doing everything wrong when i'm around them. then, when i barely knew what i wanted to do with my life, they were pressuring me into jobs i didn't want to do, so i moved out. they hate me." he shrugs.
"it's not your fault that you weren't ready to make such a big decision. there's no way they hate you, eth." i pout.
"trust me, they do. they also hate the fact that i have these." he chuckles, looking down at his tattoo covered arms.
"my parents hated me for the longest time when i told them i was majoring in art." i sigh, my hand had crept over to ethan's arm and was tracing the ink in his skin, obviously a habit of mine, "i wouldn't blame them. i'm scared too."
"you shouldn't be scared, elle. i know my princess and i know how talented she is." he smiles.
"you haven't seen any of my work, ethan." i roll my eyes playfully.
"doesn't matter, but you need to show me sometime soon, okay?" he chuckles, making me nod, "but what do you think about this weekend?"
"i-i'll go." i state, biting my lip.
ethan's smile grew wider and his large hand picked up my small one, placing kisses on my knuckles.
