Love at first bite

Chapter 14

I was awoken by someone opening the curtains, causing the light of the sun to hit me right in the face.

I groan and turn to face away from the light when suddenly I hear an ‘oomph’ sound, coming from beside me.

‘Oops, I just hit Chris in the guts!’ “Remind me to never wake you up myself again.”

He says while clutching his stomach in mock pain. “Morning. Sorry.” I quickly close my mouth with my hand to keep myself from speaking. “I need to go take a shower. I’ll be down for breakfast soon.”

With that said, I get up and rush to the bathroom before he can even utter a word. 

As soon as I enter the bathroom, I’m speechless- for the first time ever. ‘I think I’m in love.’ This bathroom is so magnificent, it has a black, shiny marble floor that contrasts the sink and the bath tub as well.

It’s nicely spacious and cosy. The minute I turn the shower faucets on, I hear Chris mumbling something about a pair of clothes on the bed blah blah blah.

The rest is history. I decide to use his mint and forest scented shampoo and conditioner (it’s his bathroom after all) to smell like him, because I just love the way he smells.

As soon as I finish my shower, I towel dry my wet hair and wrap my body around in a large baby blue towel and walk out to the bedroom.

Now I know what Chris was talking about. He might have said something about clothes on the bed which I should pick out from, because I find layers and layers of clothes scattered all around on the bed.

After what felt like hours- but it has only been fifteen minutes, I decide on a pair of black skinny jeans that fit me like a second skin, a blue V-neck shirt, a grey oversized sweater and black converse.

I tie my hair in two ponytails and put on matte lipstick to bring out the paleness of my skin. ‘Chris really did think this through, didn’t he?’

I think to myself as I go through my duffel bag that my mom packed for me, apparently.

With the amount of extra clothing my mom packed in this bag, I don’t think I’ll be leaving for home today or tomorrow.

“Hey.” Chris says, making me jump up at his sudden appearance that I have not been aware of till now. “Oh, my flying fudge sticks, you scared the crap out of me!”

I scream at him with my hand on my chest, trying to calm my rapid heartbeat.

“Sorry, I thought you heard me coming in. Are you ready?” he ask with a wide grin on his face. “Yep. I’m ready for breakfast.

I’m really starving, I’d kill for some pancakes right now.” My stomach grumbles in agreement right after my hunger confession.

“Well, I have an idea. How about we go out for breakfast, right after you meet my parents.”

‘Shitsticks, I forgot that this is not his house, in fact, he lives with his parents, just like I do. Wow, Angel, how smart can you actually get?’

As if sensing my uneasiness, he takes my hand in his and intertwines our fingers together, easing the anxiety in me. “Don’t worry, my parents won’t bite.”

He says while chuckling at me. We make our way to the kitchen, where I can hear people laughing silently.

The room goes completely silent the moment we enter and I feel as if my lungs have given up on me. “Mom, dad, this is Angel, my girlfriend.”

Wow, that was easy. If I were in this position, my mom would’ve been the one to tell me that Chris was my boyfriend, without me even saying anything to her.

That’s just how my mom is. Anyways, back to reality. His parents look like the perfect couple, with two kids and a beautiful home. His mom is a very slender looking woman, but with a bit of curves here and there, she has brunette hair, full pink lips and blue eyes.

“Hello, Angel. Nice to finally meet you.” Wow, even her voice sounds beautiful. “Morning, Mr and Mrs Watson. Nice to meet you too.” I say as I give them each a handshake to show respect, but Mrs Watson takes my hand in hers and pulls me in for a hug.

“Oh please darling, just call me Nicole. It’ll save you some time and energy. I like you, very much. But I don’t understand how Chris managed to get such a beautiful and respectful girl like you to be his girlfriend.”

‘Oh trust me, he didn’t have to do much. I already had feelings for him before he even asked me to be his girlfriend. And now here I am standing in front of his parents.’ “I’m Brian. Nice to finally meet you, my child.”

His dad says with a warm smile. They are really welcoming people if you think about it, and here I was stressing over nothing. His dad is a muscular guy, much like Chris, you can see that they get along in that department since Chris told me that he goes to the gym with his dad, and he also has dark brown eyes.

I can understand why his parents love each other so much. “We’re heading out, mom. Don’t wait up.” But its only morning, meaning we’ll be out the whole day. Great. “But I was really looking forward to meeting your little sister.”

I whine like a little child.” He told me that his sister is as crazy as I am and that we’ll get along just fine. “You’ll meet her tomorrow, she went over to a friend’s house.” His mom says with a reassuring smile, sort of like a promise to me that I’ll be seeing her soon. “Go have fun, kids.

Don’t be back too late now.” With that, we left the house and got on our journey that’ll probably be a very blister-full day. Get it? Blissful, blister-full? Argh never mind!
