**Braxton's POV**
"Honey! Caroline is here!" I hear my mom yell for me so I start to head down stairs. I can here Caroline talking to mother just as I reach the bottom.
"He has told me a lot about you", she said. I quickened my pace so I could stop her from saying anything else. I didn't want Caroline to know that I tell my mother everything, she might think it's weird. I walk into the kitchen.
"Hey, are you ready to start?" I try to bud in.
She turns to me, just now noticing I was there."Yeah, sure thing. Thank you so much, Mrs.Miller!"
"My pleasure dear."
I show her the way to my room as she compliments my house. We make our way in and sit on the bed. I start to get out the things we're going to need. I look up and she is sitting there, smiling at me. I smiled back.
"What?" I said laughing.
She started to laugh too. "I like your mom, she seems really cool. And she's really pretty too." I've never had a lot of girls meet my mom, it's just not my thing. But, Caroline seems like she really likes her and I think my mom feels the same.
"Ah, thanks. Where should we start?"
We start working on the project and soon get bored so we decide to take a short break. We both hate History so it's going to be hard to focus. Plus I can barely focus with her around anyway. She is just so great. I can't stop looking over at her every five seconds.
My mom knocks on the door and asks Caroline if she would like to stay for dinner and she says yes. She texted her dad to let him know so he wouldn't worry about her coming home a little late. I told her I would just walk her home because it would be too dark.
We head down stairs for dinner and join the rest of my family at the table. I have to admit I'm nervous about her meeting the rest of my family. What if she doesn't like them? What if they don't like her?
**Caroline's POV**
"Oh my goodness Mrs.Miller, that was amazing!" This woman can really cook. She made parmesan crusted chicken and a huge ceaser salad. It was the best thing I have eaten in a very long time. I normally do the cooking at my house, but nothing compares to her food.
"Oh please dear, call me Brandi! And thank you!"
After I help Brandi clean up after dinner I gather my things and ask Braxton to walk me home. He grabs his coat and we tell everyone goodbye and head out. He turns to me asks me if I'm cold. I tell him no, but he still sees me shiver. He puts his jacket over my shoulders and we continue walking.
"I think my mom likes you." When he said this I could feel my face heat up. Great, I'm blushing again.
"Yeah? You think so?"
He looks at me and gives me that million dollar smile, "I do. She told me she thought you were sweet and I shouldn't do anything stupid to mess anything up. She practically threatened me!" I'm really blushing now. I don't know what to say so I leave it silent for a few seconds.
"I'm sure she feels the same way about your girlfriend." I didn't mean to say it but it came out as soon as it popped into my head!
He started to laugh and I was a bit confused. I just stood there for a moment. "Actually Vines, I don't have a girlfriend. My mom has only met one other girl and that was when I was in eigth grade."
I was shocked. He can't be serious right now? His mother has only met one other girl besides me? Maybe he didn't introduce the other ones?
"Wow. Ohkay."
"I know. It's strange." I like how he is embarrassed a little. He is so freaking adorable.
"No, it's not. It's.... nice." When I said this we reached my porch. He smiled down at me. We stood there smiling at each other for a few more minutes. I told him to thank his mother again for me and we said goodbye. I watched as he walked away. Casually letting my eyes travel to his jeans. I must say he has a nice view.
Thirty minutes later I curl up in bed and grab my head phones. I click on Pandora and start listening to my One Direction station. I couldn't stop smiling and thinking about tonight. Just then I got a text from Shawn.
Shawn: Hey babe. I wanted to say sorry if I was rude today :( -xxx s
Me: it's okay! Turn that frown upside down :) -xxx c
Shawn: ha ha funny -xxx s
Me: love youuuu -xxx c
Shawn: love youuuu more -xxx s
Me: ;) -xxx c
I set my phone beside me and get up to wash my face and brush my teeth. I tell my dad goodnight and head back to my bedroom. I turn off my lamp and climb in my bed again. I can tell I'm gonna have sweet dreams tonight (wink wink).
