When we arrive to my aunts house all my aunts and uncles are here. I smile. Sitting out on the front porch is my magnificent Jameson.

"Patty." I say tapping him.

"What?" he asks.

"The guy up there. Don't be mad when I get out of the car and viscously hug him to death." I say patting his knee.

"Uhm. Okay?" he chuckles.

When the car comes to a complete stop and swing open the door and run to tackle Jameson. Almost knocking him over. He laughs.

"Hey, there's my FINALLY 20 year old cousin!" He says into my hair.

"Yes and guess what this twenty year old picked up." I smile

"A drug addiction?" Jameson jokes.

"Kinda." I shrug. "A boyfriend."

"Ooh! Is it THE Patty Walters?" he chuckles.

"Yeah." I grin.

"Guess what I got!" Jameson asks.

"A suspended drivers licens?"

"No. My own apartment and a lady friend." He's smirks.

"Ooh, a lady friend." I say elbowing him. He laughs. "I'll be right back."

I run to the car and help my mom out.

"I got it." My mom smiles. She slowly pulls herself out of the car. She takes a deep breath.

"Are you sure?" I ask anxiously.

"Yes Carrie, I can walk now." She says trying to reassure me.

"Okay." I say gulping. I feel a warm hand lock with mine and I turn around and see Patty.

My mom starts to walk toward the house.

"Who is that guy?" Patty asks not smiling as usual.

"It's my cousin." I smirk. "Is someone jealous?" I tease.

"No! I just-"

I kiss his cheek.

"You can be replaced by no one." I whisper in his ear. I look at his face.

He leans down and presses his lips gently to mine.

"Thank you." He smiles. I smile back.

"Let's go inside." I nod toward the house. he nods and I squeeze his hand.

When we reach the door I stop.

"Are you ready?" I ask Patty.

"Why wouldn't I be?" he says with a light laugh.

"Well-"

"Carrie!" my Aunt Carmen squeals opening the door.

"You'll see." I laugh, talking to Patty.

Legit everyone was at that family gathering. All the Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Great Aunts, Great Uncles, and second cousins.

Now everyone's gone. And we are getting ready for bed. I'm already in my pajamas. And of corse, my aunt put me and Patty in separate rooms.

But for now I'm siting on Patty's bed, while he's in the shower. I flip through the TV shows mindlessly.

Boy Meets World. I love this show!

I watch an episode and during the commercials, Patty exits the bathroom.
