Weakness

22. "Only for you"

LIA

"How'd you get my number?" I ask him.

"I asked Ethan for it." He says while quickly looking at me and then back at the road. "Is that a gift for my mom?" He questions.

"No it's a gift for you." I sarcastically say while chuckling right after.

"Very funny," he responds as I see his small smirk still plastered on his face, "but really, you shouldn't have gotten her anything. It's fine."

"Well I couldn't have shown up without a gift."

"Yes you could of. You're my date, you don't need to bring any gifts." He says and I feel my heart once again stop beating for a couple of seconds.

"God you're acting so nice today," I say in amusement.

"Is that a hard thing to see?" He questions.

"Nope. It actually makes me like you more," I admit.

"I guess I'll have to keep it up then." He licks his lips right after. Help me. He's doing everything so perfectly right.

We arrive at his house a couple minutes later. The drive to my house from his isn't so long so it doesn't take us much time.

Once we get there, there are already a couple of cars parked outside. When we enter the house, some of his family members come up to us to greet me.

"And who is this beautiful young girl?" A lady asks Justin.

"This is Amelia. Amelia, this is my grandma." Justin responds as he looks around and then finds someone else, "Grandpa, this is Amelia. Amelia, this is my Grandpa."

"It's nice to meet you both." I say as they both lean in to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"So you're the girl that Justin wouldn't stop blabbing about! I'm glad he's finally found someone. That boy and his ego. We all know he's a good guy, I h--" Justin's grandfather get's cut off by his grandmother.

"Stop that, you're embarrassing Justin!" Justin's grandmother laughs and so does his grandfather right when he see's Justin's face full of pure embarrassment and amusement.

"Yes, he is a good guy." I tell his grandfather, bringing up what he just said a few seconds ago about Justin.

"You treat her well Justin." His grandfather tells him.

Justin nods and grabs my wrist to pull me away from them.

I turn around to send them both a quick smile before turning back around to where Justin was taking me.

Along the way, more family members introduced themselves to me. One was so shocked that she kept asking me questions about how I got Justin to finally open up to someone. I really didn't know what to say to that, I don't think I did anything. He opened up little by little on his own and he's still a work in progress.

We then reached to his mom who I told happy birthday to while handing her the gift that I had bought her. She told me that I didn't need to buy her anything but I told her that it was fine. She then thanked me and spoke to me for a while right before Justin once again grabbed my arm to take me somewhere else.

"Sorry if this is boring," he said while slowly looking from the ground to me.

"I'm not bored Justin, I'm glad you decided to bring me here." I reassure him by smiling and taking his arm in mine while giving it a small squeeze.

"You make me crazy," he mumbles but I've clearly heard him.

"How so?" I question.

"I don't know... It seems like everything you do drives me insane." He admits.
