i was a ball of nerves mixed with anxiousness.

tonight, johnny was taking me to his families house on the other side of toronto, for dinner. this wasn't a usual dinner because mer, his mom, and dale, his dad. along with his sisters maddie, darian, and lauren. i'd met them all before, but none of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. he squeezed my hand softly in reassurance, smiling wholeheartedly at me as we walked up the driveway to the front door.

"it's going to be fine, bub," he stopped in his trail, noticing my rising stress level. "i promise you." he slightly grinned, leaning down and placing a kiss on the top of my head. leaving me to smell is amazing scent of vanilla. my favorite thing.

"what if i'm-"

"promise." he interrupted me, squeezing both on my small hands in his veined, large ones.

we traveled up the rest of the driveway, and took the three few steps that led to the front door. johnny squeezed my hand again before knocking three times, swiftly.

stammering and mediocre conversation on the other side of the home one the door swung open. i'm instantly face to face with mer, who greeted me with the warmest smile i tended to receive when coming here.

"hey guys! please come in!" she spoke, hugging me tightly against her.

i smiled, hugging her back, greeting darian, lauren, and maddie also.

i reached for johnny's hand, intertwining my fingers with his. as we made our way into the kitchen. the family that i didn't know was all too much. overwhelming. i kept my smile tight and waved to them all. sitting down at the set glass dining table next to johnny.

everyone began to eat, all of us making small talk here and there. his grandmother, was the sweetest little lady, shorter then me. she gushed and cooed about how much johnny talked about me.

when i looked over at him next to me, his cheeks were a splotchy red. and his green eyes glistened.

one of his uncles, he warned be about him, anyway he liked to joke a lot. he laughed the entire time, which made me a bit more comfortable. mers sister, erin, was also very kind. she was jumpy, whispering things to john, 'i never knew she was this beautiful.' but as the whole evening continued, there was a women that i could feel analyzing. i left her eyes piercing into me.

i glanced over at johnny upon feeling him bring the back of my hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to the back. i smiled, looking up, to see the same lady staring at me.
