Aria just turned sixteen and is an honor roll student. She is well liked but not interested in being popular at school. She works two jobs and keeps to her self. She hates gossip and drama and that's why she has a secret life away from prying eye...
I woke up with Aria wrapped in my arms. I looked at the clock and it was 10am. "Oh fuck!" I screamed out and Aria woke up still sleepy. "What is it Ryder?" She asked still in her sleepy daze. "Babygirl it's 10am." She instantly jumped out of the bed. "Fuck!" She screamed out. She ran to the bathroom and jumped into the shower. I wanted to join but I knowing I did, things would get x rated quickly and make us late. She came out of the shower and looked worried.
"What's the matter Babygirl?" I asked. "I left all my stuff at my brothers house, shit!" I tried to calm her down but she was panicking. "Relax, let me take a quick shower and we'll go to your brothers place." She was looking at the time and I can tell she was worried. I gave her quick peck and took a quick shower and put on my clothes. I put on a pair of dark wash jeans, a button down dress shirt and a blazer. I wanted to make a good impression. I was out of the shower and dressed in 20 minutes.
I grabbed my bag and car keys and Aria was waiting by the door for me. "Baby relax, it's 10:45am. We'll be at your brothers in 15min and you'll have a half an hour to get ready. We won't be late." I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead. She let out a deep breath and nodded.
We headed out and got into my car. She was silent the entire drive but her legs were bouncing up and down. I placed my hand on her thigh and gave her a smile trying to calm her down and when she smiled back I knew it was working. We pulled into her brothers house and I was surprised to see her cousins truck there already. Aria jumped out of the car once I put it into park and ran inside. I couldn't help but laugh.
I walked inside and it was only her brother and cousin. They were sitting in the living room smoking a blunt, "Hey guy. Took you two long enough to get here. Want a hit?" I shook my head no. I don't mind smoking but the last thing I want is to walk into Aria's aunts house high with bloodshot eyes. Jon shrugged his shoulders and went back to hitting taking a pull out of the blunt. I sat down and we all started talking. "So, what should I expect from today?" I asked.
Mikey and Jon started laughing. What was so funny. Oh yeah, they're both high. Mikey patted my shoulder. "You're fucked man." And he kept laughing. I looked at him and at Jon confused. "What?" They both laughed harder. Then Jon spoke. "Dude, Aria is the baby of the family. She is loved which means everyone is going to be on your ass." I looked over to Mikey and he nodded and then said. "Look man, if Aria is bringing you to a family holiday just expect a lot of questions about marriage. She should know better. That's why none of us bring dates. They will harass you about when you are going to propose, and when the wedding is going to be and how many kids you'll have."
I just shook my head. "But she's still young." They both laughed at me again. Then Jon said "guy, our grandma in Greece had an arranged marriage at 16, out grandma on my moms side was married at 16 as well and had 4 kids by the time she was 23. They're all old school. In there eyes, Aria is ready to be married off and start a family." I should have been nervous and freaking out about this, but honestly it made me happy. Now I know they won't give me shit about our age difference and honestly I can see me and Aria getting married. A light smile formed on my face and then I heard heard Aria screaming out. "What the fuck are you guys doing! Put down the damn blunt and let's go! We're gonna be late!"
