Why can't I be with him?

How?

Today I am going to meet Tyrece's parents. I am freaking out!

He keeps telling me to relax, but that is near to impossible right now. What if his parents react like my own did? I wouldn't stop seeing him if that happened. I also wouldn't feel comfortable sneaking around with my boyfriend as well.

We finally reach the front door. The house was hidden deeply in the crops. He went to knock but I stopped him.

"Do you think they will like me?" I said my voice shaking out of anxiety that they wouldn't.

"Of course they will your amazing." He replied instantly looking at me in that way that makes believe everything he says.

"Okay," I say heaving a sigh.

He knocks on the door, and about a minute later, a small woman with caramel skin opens the door. When she sees us holding hands she smiles.

I put out my hand and nervously I say, " Hi, my name is Evie."

The whole time my hand is out it's shaking. Then she does the unexpected. She pulls me to her and squishes me into a hug. She was warm, it was quite comforting.

"My name is Caroline." She said still holding me running her hands through my hair. I look at Tyrece to see him smiling.

After a couple more moments he speaks up, "Okay mama, can we come inside."

She seemed to snap out of her trance and let go, but she still was smiling. It was contagious and I started to as well.

"Come inside you two." She says gesturing to inside the house.

I feel better with the feeling that she likes me. I should catch you up. Well, Tyrece thought it would be a good idea for me to meet his parents. As you can see I was super scared. How my mom and dad react ed with us just  being together kinda had me scared. What if they didn't like me? What if they are just like my parents. It had me very worried about tonight, but it is going good so far. Let's hope it last.

I walk through the door and immediately feel two pairs of arms wrap around me. I then as. The twins smiling their biggest at me.

"You two finally became a couple!" They yelled at me. It hurt my ears cause they were really close.

"Okay, guys can you please back off my girlfriend. I promised her she'll survive dinner." Tyrece said pushing them off me. I looked up at him and smiled. It has been a couple of days since he asked me to be his girlfriend and so far it's amazing. The twins like to give us lots of alone time, they think we will do the deed.

Tyrece and I have talked about that, but we haven't done anything. We don't plan on doing that right now, maybe the near future? We will just see....

Okay so I was led by him to the living room and met his father. He didn't seem real happy to see or meet me.

"Hi, I am Evie. It is so nice to finally meet you." I said smiling brightly they I was feeling happy that his mom liked me and I thought his dad would have the same attitude. I guess not.....
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you two. I am Mr. Sirloin." He replied straight faced.

When I looked at Tyrece he gave me a tight lipped smile and it looked like he was angry. I just returned a reassuring smile. I know he was angry about his dad's attitude towards me.

"Let's go to the kitchen, Evie." Tyrece said grabbing my hand and walking away. I just followed along after him.

When we make it to the kitchen we see his mom singing and dancing while cooking dinner. We stood there watching for a little bit trying not to laugh. Then she turned around and grew red in the face. That's what made us burst out laughing.

One hour later we are at the table. The twins said grace and then we started to eat. The dinner was delicious! We had fried chicken, corn bread, caligreens, with some mashed potatoes. It was so good we all had seconds. After getting to know each other better Mr. Sirloin started to lighten up. He would give Three and I the occasional small smile.

The rest of the night was just us talking about anything really....

"I had a great time meeting you all." I said waving and then turned around to walk home. Tyrece was there because I was too short to see over the crops to find my way.

"If only your parents would accept me..." He mumbled under his berth. I look up seeing his disappointment on his face.

I stopped him and got on my tippy toes. I held his face in my hands looking him in the eye.

"They don't matter when it comes to you and me being together, okay?" I say with as much conviction I have. I don't care what they think he makes me happy. Why does it care of he has different skin color than me. I like him a lot and they will not screw this up.

He smiled at me and leaned forward catching my lips in a kiss. He tilted his head making it deeper and I did the same. He wrapped his hands tightly around my waist pulling me closer. I put my arms around his neck. The kiss started to get rough by the second. I started to get this weird feeling when suddenly I heard someone clear their throat. We ended the kiss and looked in the direction the noise came from.

When we do we see his parents looking at us with big smiles on their faces. My whole face went red. They saw us kissing like that. I would rather they are just a peck, not a full blown make out session. This is so embarrassing. Why doesn't the universe love me?

"So you two were getting real got and steamy." His dad said chuckling at our expressions.

We stood silent hoping they would leave. That didn't happen.

After his dad cracked a few more jokes they walked with us to the road.

I was in the middle of the deserted road, when I decided to turn around and wave goodbye. That was a bad idea.

First I heard the roar of an engine and fast moving wheels. Then I turned and  bright lights. Lastly, it all went black....

What the heck just happened?
