It was Christmas Eve and you planned to invite your boyfriend Zayn of 5 months to come over and meet your family. You had prepped him the night before on the phone telling him how your family was crazy & weird around strangers and that he would probably be drilled with questions from your grandparents & parents. He would chuckle at what you would say, not realizing that you were serious.
The time had come. The rest of your family was at your Aunts house awaiting your arrival. Zayn pulled up the driveway with his hand on your thigh, he rubbed it lightly with his thumb. You let out a deep sigh, “Well…brace yourself & don’t say I didn’t tell you.” He chuckled lightly and mumbled, “Oh come on Y/N, I’m sure they’re not that bad.” You let out a stress filled laugh. He rolled his eyes playfully and opened the door. You led the way up your Aunts porch. Before you opened the door, he pushed you lightly against the door and gave you a slow, passionate kiss. He could feel the tension in your lips. You were so super nervous and you just wanted the day to be over. You grabbed his hand, interlocking your fingers before opening the door.
"Y/N!" Your little cousin yelled as he hugged your leg. You smiled and let go of Zayn’s hand and picked him up kissing his cheek. "How have you been lil’ man! It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you!" He giggled and hugged you before looking up at Zayn and saying, "Who are you?!" You smiled gently and said, "Y/C/N, this is my boyfriend. Zayn." Zayn smiled and held up his hand for a high-five. Your cousin stared at it peculiarly before smacking his hand against his. Zayn playfully said, "Ouch! You’re quite strong!" Your cousin giggled and said, "You have a funny voice." You let out a small chuckle before saying, "Zayn’s from England. They have accents there." Your cousin looked at Zayn like he was from a different world. And he ran down to the party room where the rest of your family was.
Zayn held your hand once again as you both slowly walked down the stairs. Your whole family seemed to stop what they were doing and just stared awkwardly before saying, “Hey Y/N!” You smiled and greeted your relatives and introduced Zayn as your boyfriend. Your family stared in admiration. He was polite, friendly & funny. You felt the stress lifting off your shoulders. He sat down with your grandpa and they began talking about cars & all. Your grandma sat down next to him and said to Zayn, “Don’t let he slip away. She’s a great girl.” You blushed and said, “Grandma!” She smiled and rubbed your shoulder. “I’m sorry, I just wanted him to know.” You laughed awkwardly and decided to go play with your little cousin upstairs.
As you two were walking up the stairs you heard your grandpa & uncle saying, “That’s a good kid. Y/N picked a good one.” You smiled as you pulled him upstairs and sat on the floor with your cousin. He was playing with toy cars and he decided to make the car drive over your face playfully. Zayn smirked and said, “Y/C/N, don’t put that on Y/N’s lovely face.” He put the car down and got up yelling, “Ew cooties!” You both chuckled and Zayn pulled you into his arms. Your cousin had ran downstairs and you & Zayn were finally alone. You both leaned up against the couch still on the floor and he placed his hand on your neck stroking it lightly with his thumb. He began humming Little Things to you and you stared into his eyes. He leaned in and placed a slow, soft kiss against your lips. Your Aunt was coming up the stairs but you didn’t notice. You were both lost in the moment, enjoying each others company. She peeked in the room and said startled, “Oops I’m sorry guys, I didn’t know.” You both pulled away and slid a bit away from one another. Zayn smiled lightly and said, “No no I’m sorry, It was all my fault. We shouldn’t have been doing that here.” Your aunt smiled at Zayn’s manners. Your aunt left the room and you both decided to go outside for a cigarette. You opened the front door and sat on the porch. Zayn pulled out a box of cigarettes. “Shit,” he grumbled, “I only have 1 left. I guess we’ll have to share.” He smirked and lit it up taking a deep drag of it before exhaling the smoke into your mouth. You giggled and did the same to him before planting a smoky kiss on his lips. You pulled away slowly and heard a knocking on the door.
"Dinners ready!" Your grandma announced. You stomped out the cigarette and Zayn held the door for you as you walked inside.
Your whole family ate a great dinner & they all adored Zayn and how sweet he was.
