It's Saturday morning and I'm up doing some cleaning trying to calm my nerves and thoughts about meeting Rocky's mom today. First impressions are always very important to me when I'm meeting someone or someone is meeting me because that's the first judgement you have of someone. I know I'm not a bad person but meeting the parent of your significant other is a big deal.

Hey Yas what you doing? Briana came in my room laying on my bed.

"Cleaning but I'm about to look for something to wear tonight." I walked towards my closet.

Where are y'all going to eat again? She stood up following me.

"His mom decided she just wanted to have dinner at her house."

Well something casual would be cool then. She looked through my clothes.

I picked up a white long sleeve shirt, a black distressed jean skirt, and peep toe over the knee burgundy boots with a little heel on them.

That's cute you should wear this jacket too. She picked up my light washed jean jacket.

"Okay I like it but you don't think the boots are too much?" I crossed my arms.

Not at all they complement the outfit. What time is dinner?

"It's at seven he said he's picking me up at six thirty."

Well at least you already met his sister and she likes you. I think his mom will love you.

"Yeah lets hope for the best." I put my hands up crossing my fingers.

I'll leave you alone so you can get ready just breathe and think positive. She winked at me and left out closing my door.

I stripped out of my clothes and slid on the skirt and shirt. I tucked my shirt in and slid on my jacket and my boots walking to the mirror checking myself out nodding in satisfaction. I applied some lipgloss and mascara and took my scarf off of my head sliding my hands over my slicked down hair. I sprayed myself down with my favorite scent of sweet mint that Rocky loved and took a couple pictures.

Yas Rocky is here! I heard Briana shout.

I grabbed my black clutch and walked out of my room seeing Rocky typing away on his phone.

"Hey Rah." I said sweetly.

Hey baby you look good. He smiled and hugged me. And you smell good.

"Thanks you look very handsome yourself." I fixed his collar for him as he kissed me on my forehead.

You ready?

"Yeah let's slide." I said.

Ahh I see you picking up flacko's lingo. He laughed grabbing my hand as we walked downstairs.

"Yeah something like that." He opened my door.

So are you nervous because if you are don't be? He said starting up the car.

"Yeah a little bit I just want your mom to like me ya know."

If she sees you make me happy she'll like you and you make me happy so that means she's going to like you. She been begging me to bring you to meet her anyway just from what I tell her about you. You ain't got nothing to worry about I promise. He grabbed my hand.

"Okay." I squeezed his hand and relaxed a little bit.

We pulled up to his mom's house that looks very similar to Ma's from the outside. He got out and opened my door grabbing my hand as we made our way to the door. He knocked on the door and a brown skin woman who looked to be around Ma's age opened the door.
