You're Fundamental/D.Luh

It was a promise before you, us

Nessa's p.o.v.
  "Damien where are we going?" I ask him as he's driving us. He stops in front of a yellow house's drive way. He gets off and opens the door for me. "You introduced me to your family, I want you to meet my mom." He says.

"Really?" I ask. "Yes, I'll introduce you as my friend." He says. I nod my head. "Thank you." I give him a smile. "I know we're taking things slow and I kinda rushed you with meeting my family." I say. "I want you to meet my mother." He says taking my hand in his and leading the way. He unlocks the door and he leads me inside. "Madre." I hear him speaking Spanish. The house smells like delicious food. "Damien?" His mom asks. A women looking around my mothers age greets him with a hug and kiss. "Como estas?" She asks. "Bien y tu?" He asks. "Good now that I seen you. Who's this, new friend?" She asks referring to me. "Mama, this is Vanessa." He says introducing us. I shake her hand. "I'm Lucia, Damien's mother." She says. "Nice to meet you." I say.

"Nice to finally meet you." His mom says. I'm surprised, he's told her about me. "Damien talks about you and so do the girls down in the body shop, that were pretty upset that he met someone new." She explains, I nod my head. "Take a seat, so you want anything to drink? Soda? Coffee? Water? Vanessa? Call me Lucia." She says leading us to the living room.

"Water will so just fine, thank you Lucia." I say giving her a smile. She goes for the water and I admire the living room, it's a light yellow and has pictures of Damien and other kids. "Pictures of my cousins and I." He says. I nod my head. Lucia comes in with a glass of water I take it and thank her. We talk about life, random things and she tells us stories about Damien. She asks how we meet and I tell her my side of the story.

"So you came to the body shop?" Lucia asks. I nod my head. "I actually heard that." She says.

"You did?" I ask blushing a bit. I didn't know word would get to his mother, out of all people. "They said a girl who was dressed in money from head to toe was at the body shop and requested Damien. Ana told me Damien was rude to her." Lucia says. "She asked her about Vanessa's car and I told her it was non of her business." He says.

"Damien, I've taught you how to treat a girl, that's no way." She says.

"Mom it's Ana, she has no right to try to intrude in my life." He says.

"It's exactly why because, she's Ana." His mom says. I feel a bit uncomfortable but I don't let it show. My phone begins to go off and I check and it's my papa. "I have to take this I'm sorry." I say. I pick the phone. "Vanessa I need you here, I'm at your mothers. It's an emergency." Papa says.

"Is everyone okay?" I ask.

"No, Sebastian isn't." He says making my heart drop. "What?" I ask him. "Sebastian was in an accident, I need you to get to your mothers. We're all meeting up here to take a plane to
See him, he's in Nevada for a business trip."
Papa says. I nod my head. "Okay." I say. I blink away my tears, and breathe. He's okay, he's Sebastian, he has to be okay. He's my Sebs, my best friend, he'll survive. "I'm need back home." I say.

"Is everything okay?" Damien asks.

"Yes, it'a just a family meeting I forgot about." I say. "Thank you Lucia, for allowing me into your home." I say. I hug her and kiss her check and then Damien says goodbye. He drives me home, "Are you okay?" Damien asks. "Yeah, my papa reminded me of a deal I need to close, I'm a bit worried about it." I say. He believes it, it's half a life, I'm worried but not about that. Well the deal can be taken as Sebs safety. I peck his lips and then make my way inside. I see him leaving the drive way. I make my way inside and the light off. "Surprise." I hear causing me to laugh.

"What going on?" I ask.

"You closed the deal Nessa, the business man loves your proposition." Papa says, I nod my head.

"I loved your proposition." I turn around and see Sebs, he's okay. I hug him. "You're okay." I whisper. "Of course I am, it was just to get you here quick." He says.

"Don't you ever let them play with your life with me." I say pulling away and smack his arm.

"Told you." Andres says.

"Sorry Nessa, it was all we came up with in such short notice." Papa says. I look around the room and see my siblings, grandparents, mom, Nicolas, Lacey, Andrea and Sebs. "Your mama made dinner." He adds smiling.

"Okay I forgive you." I say smiling.

"And I did the cooking." I head mama Letizia say making us laugh.

Lacey's p.o.v.

"Mommy can I go to daddy's?" Andrea asks.

"He's not home yet baby." I say. "Where is he?" she asks. "He's working baby, he promised he'd stop by during lunch." I say. She nods her head. "Mommy can I go with Auntie Ash today? She said she was going to visit Derek in his cool apartment." She asks.

"You can ask your father when he gets home." I say. "I'm go play with my dolls." She says walking towards her room. I finish making lunch for Andres and us. I hear a door unlock and I'm sure it's Andres.

"I'm home." Andres announces. "Daddy" I hear Andrea scream and hear her little steps.  He picks her up and says "baby." kissing her checks. "The food is ready." I tell Andres. I had already set up the table and I just served the food.

"Daddy can I go with Tia Ash to see Derek?" Andrea asks as we're eating.

"What did your mother say?" He asks. "To ask you." She says. "I don't mind, if you're mother doesn't." He says.

"I don't mind at all, as long as Ashton is okay with it." I say.

"She asked me to go with her." She says eating her greens. I nod my head, we have a small talk and then after lunch Andrea goes to FaceTime Ashton in her room. I go clean up the dishes and the table.

"Janell I took her, nothing happened. I was going to tell you. Lacey and I went to prom, it's a promise I made before you, us." He says as I'm entering the living room. He didn't tell Janell, about going to prom with me. "I'll call you later." He says hanging up.

"You didn't tell her?" I ask. He turns around with the his I got caught face. I've seen that face too many times. "Andres." I warn him.  "What the hell?" I ask.

"She wasn't going to like it." He tries to explain it.

"I won't be the cause of you two fighting." I make it very clear. "You just made it look so bad, you made me look bad. Now she won't like me, I'm the only one who gets to not like someone. She was the one who harmed my daughter and now it looks like I tried to take away her man." I groan. I point at Andres. "You better fix this Ferron." I say. He nods his head.

"I'll make her understand it was a promise." He says. I shake my head, "She must really like you if you come out alive of this one. If Tristan pulls a thing like this bye bye." I say, it's the first time I bring up Tristan to him. "Go fix this," I say mustering annoyance. "I will." He says. "Andrea, princess I'm leaving." He says. Andrea comes running into the living room.

"Bye Daddy." She says wrapping her arms around him. "Bye princess, I'll see you tonight." He kisses her checks. She smiles and nods her head. "I'll call Ashton to figure things out for your trip." He says. "I'm going to go see her in a bit, I'll talk with her." I say. Andres looks up at me and nods his head. "I'll see you later Lacey." He says embracing me in a hug, and he kisses the top of my head. "See you later, don't forget to fix things." I say reminding him. "I will." He says walking out.

"Mommy you think you can joing Tia Ash and I on the trip?" Andrea asks.

"I think yes." I smile at her.
