This Boy Im With

Chapter20: Boat trip part 2/Meeting the family

   I thank the gods when we finally arrive. The ride was so awkward because when I first got in Blake's dad who I find out name is Eric, asked if I loved his son. What parent asks that, especially in front of their son? I felt like getting out, run to mount Everest and then jump off. We made our way into the house and into the kitchen where Christian and his mom was.

  "Your here! That's great! I thought you wouldn't come, honey." Blake's step mom pulls him into a hug and I just stand there awkwardly.

  "Karen." Blake wines. Karen, I guess is her name, pulls away and looks at Blake speechless. Ok? What just happened?

  "You never call me that. Not since.... nothing, um you must be Rally. Hi I'm Karen, Blake's mo-" she didn't finish because Blake cut in.

  "Step mom." Karen looks at him confused and them glares at him.

  "He did it again. Didn't he."Christian cuts in. I am so confused right now.

  "Nice to meet you. And it's Riley." I correct her . She sends me a smile excusing herself because she mixed my name up and I smile back letting her know it's ok. Blake's dad walks in and send me a smile which I return.

  "So may I ask, how long?" He sits down on a chair in the corner and looks at me.

  "How long...?" I ask

  "Have you two been dating?" I see Blake's body tense and he tries to keep his cool before answering.

  "We are going to bed it was a long day today. Good night." He grabs my hand in his and we walk out of the kitchen and up the stairs. We enter a medium sized bedroom and he takes his shirt off.

  "Sorry bout them. They always get so weird whenever I bring a girl here." he realizes what he just said and corrects himself before its to late. " I mean whenever....um... like whe-" I cut him off.

  "Its ok I know what you mean." I sit on the bed taking my shoes off.

  "So....." I say

  "So......" he lies down and brings me on top of him.

  "So.... um, why did Karen get so.... I guess weird is the word, when you called her Karen?" He lays me down next to him and I feel his body tense up.

  "Its....um.... just....complicated, I don't want to talk about it. Its been a long day and I want to sleep. Good night." He turns his back to me but not before kissing my forehead.

  "Good night." I whisper and put my arm around Blake's waist and he sights like if that's what he's been waiting for me to do.
