breathe, zach, don't choke on your own saliva, you don't want to meet your possible parents in-laws like a purple grape, right? zach thought.

the brunette boy looked straight ahead, although he wanted to enjoy the road, he couldn't do it because he felt his legs shaking and his heart racing.

twenty minutes jack parked the motorcycle outside a beige house, in the garden there were trees and a pot with a stake that says 'welcome' they walked the path to the entrance in silence, zach buried his nails in the palms of his hands.

"hey, calm down, you're shaking." jack said as he took his hand. he approached zach and smiled at him. "everything will be fine, okay?"

"w-what should i say? is there something i shouldn't do?" asked zach full of panic.

they stood in front of the door and jack stepped forward to wrap him in a hug and force him to leave his head on his shoulder.

zach smiled when he noticed the smell of jack's cologne, stood still because he was really nervous and jack calmed him down.

they separated when someone cleared his throat, jack leaned back and separated completely from zach.

they walked towards the entrance, zach looked up very slowly, met the scrutinizing eyes of mr. standford, jack's stepfather.

"ward, i have invited my friend zach."

my friend, that phrase was repeated in zach's head.

not my boyfriend.

zach really thought that jack was going to open up about his relationship with zach with his parents but it seemed that jack wanted to keep it secret.

his stepfather smiled at zach. "glad to see you again, zach."

"me too." zach smiled trying to make the nerves fade. but it was almost impossible to get it. he missed the contact of jack's hand on his.

"jack, here you are! gabbie was telling me that... "jack's mother was silent when she realized that her son was not coming alone.

zach couldn't feel more uncomfortable. "hi, kristin."

"zach!" the brunette woman smiled and came over to give zach a little hug. "i didn't expect to see you here today."

zach bit his lower lip feeling very uncomfortable. "jack invited me and i assumed he had told you."

"well, he didn't." that last sentence was said with narrowed eyes, a frown and looking at his son.

jack just shrugged and moved away from the house's door to walk toward the dining room. zach didn't know very well what to do so he followed him.

upon entering the dining room, zach felt the heat rise through his body. it was a heat coming because of how furious he was. it wasn't expected to meet gabbie gonzalez sitting in one of the dining room chairs, with her curly hair pulled up and a small smile on her lips.

the anger was also due to the fact that jack hadn't told his family that he had invited him to dinner today.

zach sat in one of the sofas next to jack and noticed how behind them, without anyone noticing, jack grabbed his hand.
