grayson and tammi seemed to be calm, not at all intimidated by this situation. on the other hand, ethan and i were on edge.
that probably had to do with our personalities though, since gray and tammi were relatively stable under pressure. ethan and i were more high strung by nature. he had gone from being cocky, to being a little shaky and nervous.
he helped me out of the car, and immediately wrapped his arm around my waist. "how are you feeling, baby?"
i bit my lip, and took a deep breath. "i'm super fucking nervous, oh my god."
ethan pulled me closer to him, and led me into the restaurant. "i'm sure that they're going to love you, just as much as i do."
my eyes widened involuntary.
love?
i could feel my entire face turning red. did he just...
all i could get out was a measly, "you really think so?" i wish i could have responded to what he was really trying to say, but i was under more than enough pressure at the moment.
he kissed my forehead, and nodded. "of course i do, i know my family."
my nerves intensified as soon as we got to the table. lisa and cameron stood up when they saw all of us, and smiled sweetly.
"hey, masen. it's nice to see you again." cameron brought me in for a hug, and wrapped her arms around me.
"it's nice to see you too, cameron. you look pretty!"
"you too, masey!"
as soon as cameron and i stopped hugging, lisa tapped on my shoulder.
"masen, you look beautiful. how are you doing?" she reached over to give me a hug, i gave her a warm smile.
"you do too, mrs. dolan. i'm doing really great, thank you. how are you?"
she laughed lightly, and wrapped her arms around me. "the same as you, sweetie. please call me lisa."
i could slowly feel some of my nerves dissolving. ethan and grayson's mom and sister were so welcoming, it really put me at ease.
ethan pulled out my chair, which was super sweet, by the way.
gray and tammi were all smiles, whereas ethan and i were just trying not to appear anxious.
"it's so nice to actually sit down with all of you. you girls are all my babies talk about, it's adorable." lisa gave cameron a sneaky smile, and cameron took a sip of her drink.
tammi and i smirked at each other.
i gave ethan a kiss on the cheek, and stirred my sprite with my straw. "wait, really? what do they say about us?"
ethan and grayson looked as if they had just seen a ghost.
cameron decided to chime in this time. "they argue over being whipped everyday. it's actually hilarious, because they're both beyond whipped for you guys."
ethan was so red. "cameron, you promised that you wouldn't expose us." he groaned, and peered over at grayson.
grayson was equally as red. "they lied to us, eth. we've been bamboozled."
tammi snorted.
everybody was starting to loosen up, and get comfortable.
lisa smiled, and raised her glass. "let's have a toast. i'm just so thankful that we're all in a better place than we used to be. cheers to happiness, and to the lovely girlfriends of my boys."
we all raised our glasses, and clinked them together. ethan snaked his arm around my waist, and gave me a forehead kiss.
i was really fucking happy.
