(Derek's parents above^^^)

Matthew's P.O.V.

My eyes fluttered open as small rays of sun seeped through the curtains. I couldn't help but drift back to last night. It brought a smile to my face. I never would've thought this day would come- especially so soon. It was so amazing and it felt wonderful.

I giggled quietly as I stretched my limbs. I immediately frowned not feeling Derek next to me. Maybe he went downstairs..

I got out of bed and made my way into the bathroom. Grabbing the spare toothbrush Derek left me I brushed my teeth as I turned on the shower waiting for it to warm up.

*********

I dried my curly hair with the towel and searched for some clothes. I smiled seeing a baby blue v-neck. Blue is such a calming color. I put on the shirt and grabbed the first pair of sweats that I saw.

Grabbing my glasses I headed downstairs.

"Derek?"

No answer.

I approached the kitchen and froze hearing other voices. Shit. I forgot that his parents were coming over today. I didn't think they would be this early. I was so nervous.

As I got closer to the doorway I notice that they were speaking in their native language.

"Stai mettendo in pericolo la famiglia uscendo con quel ragazzo." (You are putting the family on the line by dating that boy.)

I had no idea what they were saying but that voice was deeper and more rough around the edges. So I assumed that was Derek's dad.

The talking continued but this time it was Derek's voice. "È un buon padre, è tutto ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno per far funzionare questo piano. Non preoccuparti, ho tutto sotto controllo." (It's fine dad he is everything we need for this plan to work. Don't worry I have everything under control.)

I was so nervous but I walked in anyway. I froze with wide eyes as everyone's head turned to face me. "Hi baby" Derek said as he came around from the counter to greet me. He kissed my forehead and pulled me towards his parents- who by the way looked very scary.

He pulled out the dining room table chair and sat down pulling me into his lap. He kissed my cheek. "Did you sleep well love?" I nodded laying my head on his chest.

He rubbed my back soothingly. "Baby sit up. I want you to meet my parents."

I slowly sat up and frowned.

"Ok babes that's my dad. Antonio Moretti. That's my mom. Isabella Moretti."

Derek's P.O.V.

I could see the uneasiness in Matt as he waved shyly. Mom was the first to speak. "Hello there love. Aren't you just the cutest." I chuckled as Matt's face turned beat red. Dad nodded his head towards him but didn't say anything else.

We spoke a bit more but then the silence became thick and uncomfortable. Dad eyed Matt- who was not even paying attention because he was playing fortnite on my phone- and spoke. "Derek, seriamente, non penso che sia una buona idea. Potrebbe distrarti da questo lavoro." (Derek I seriously don't think this is a good idea. He might distract you from this job.) I chuckled and kissed Matt's forehead. "Papà, come può distrarmi se è la chiave del piano. Abbiamo solo bisogno di lui per un altro paio di giorni e poi possiamo sbarazzarci di lui. Fidati di me, funzionerà." (Dad how can he distract me if he is the key to the plan. We only need him for a couple more days and then we can get rid of him. Trust me this will work.)
