•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I can say the past two months have been some of the best months of my life.

Of course I had Sam and my old group of friends from Florida but this is a group that has definitely grown on me more than I would ever admit to their faces.

The last thing I want to do is boost Talia, Sam, and Caleb's ego.

I sit in front of my mom at the island playing on my phone as my dad cooks breakfast.

"So, Emerson is there anything you want to tell me and your dad?" My mom -not so subtly- asks.

I furrow one brow "No?"

"Wrong answer." This makes me even more confused.

"Maria." My dad scolds.

She sighs "Who's the girl?"

This makes me choke on air and my brows shoot up. "Wha- What?" I stutter.

My mom grins in victory "Ha! I knew it! So who is she?"

I've admitted to myself over the past two months that I do in fact have a crush on Navaeh.

I sigh in defeat "Her name is Navaeh." I mutter playing with the hem of my shirt.

My mom starts clapping "Yay! I want to meet her."

My eyes go wide "What?! No!"

My dad looks amused "And why not?" He leans over the counter.

I give him a deadpan look "Oh I don't know, because you guys are crazy."

"Well too bad, invite her over for dinner tonight."

I sigh knowing there is no use in fighting with that woman.

"Call her now. I want proof." I roll my eyes and unlock my phone.

See? Crazy.

I click on her contact and wave the phone at them before pressing it to my ear.

My dad smiles "Smartass" he mutters.

"Hey." Her soft voice that I've learned I love is heard after two rings.

"Hey sweetheart, I have a question?" My mom mouths the word sweetheart as her eye brows raise turning to my dad to which he shares the same look.

I roll my eyes at the two. "What's up? Is everything okay?"

"Oh yea everything is great it's just my parents asked me to invite you to dinner tonight."

I have to check to see if she hung up after a long moment of silence.

"You want me to meet your parents?"

"Well I mean you don't have to if your don't want to."

"No no I want to it's just I didn't think you wanted me to."

"Well of course I do."

"Well okay then yea that's great."

I smile "Okay I'll pick you up at five, okay?"

"Alright Em see ya."

We hang up and I look to see my parents grinning from ear to ear.

I sigh "This is gonna be a long night." I mutter.
