~Celeste's POV~
We soon arrived at Christian's house, and it smelled like barbeque. "That's odd. My parents never barbeque unless it's a special occasion,like the holidays." He said quietly to himself.
We walked in,and Christian's parents were in the kitchen. "Mum! Dad! I'm home! And I brought a friend!" Christian said loudly over the music.
His mom turned and her face lit up! "Christian! It's so good to see you again!" She beamed! His dad turned and smiled wide.
They walked over and hugged him. "Hi mum. Hi Dad. I missed you too." Kras said endearingly.
"And who is this beautiful young lady?" His mom asked.
"Mum,Dad,this is our good friend Celeste. She's been helping with the merch table on this last leg of tour. Celeste,this is my mum,Mary,and my dad,Jimmy." Christian introduced.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." I replied, shaking their hands.
"Please come sit! You must be exhausted!" Jimmy said brightly. We sat on the couch,and they brought over some food and drinks.
"What's the special occasion?" Christian asked with a chuckle.
Just then,the back door opened,and Mitchel came in. "KRAS!!" he yelled excitedly!
He ran over and engulfed Christian in a bear hug. Christian held him and kissed his forehead. "I missed you all day. I thought you wouldn't make it." Mitchel said softly.
"I always make it back Mitty. You know that. But what's going on?" Christian replied,combing his fingers through Mitty's surprisingly,unbraided hair.
"C'mon! You'll love it. Your mum and Clinton and I,planned it." Mitty replied, Pulling Christian to his feet.
"Oh hi Celeste! You can come too!" He beamed.
I followed them outside,and there was a lot of people. Jesse and his parents, Pat,and his parents. Clinton and Mitty's parents. Then I noticed Xavier. And there was a guy I didn't recognize. He was tall,covered with tattoos,even on his bald head,and he was wearing a plain,white T-shirt under a black hoodie,which draped from his elbows, and black jeans.
Christian and Mitchel introduced me to everyone's parents. "Hey! Celeste! What a pleasant surprise! It's so good to see you. How are you?" Xavier greeted me,as he hugged me.
I hugged him back. "Xavier! You said you'd be in studio all day! It's so good to see you again! And I'm doing amazing now that I'm here!" I replied Ecstatically!
"What about you? How are you?" I asked him.
"I'm doing incredible! And I was in studio,I just finished things up with my team a lot sooner than anticipated!" "Which I'm forever grateful for,cause I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on this!" He replied just as happily.
"That's so incredible to hear! I'm so glad everything is going so well. You have to tell me all about it,as soon as I meet just one last person yea?" I asked.
"Sure thing!" He beamed!
Christian walked me over to the tattooed guy. "Aye yo Riley!" Christian greeted him excitedly!
He turned and smiled. "Christian! Good to see you! It's been too long! And who's your friend?" He asked.
"Riley,this is our good friend Celeste. Celeste,this is our long time friend Riley. He used to drive out tour bus and manage us,but now he's a music artist." Christian introduced.
"That's so cool! It's so nice to meet you!" I beamed! He shook my hand with a warm smile.
"Pleasure to meet you too Celeste. Welcome to the family." He replied kindly.
~Later~
I made my way back over to Xavier, and I noticed he was talking with Mitchel and they were laughing over something.
"Mind if I going you?" I asked.
Xavier looked up and his face lit up even more,if that's even possible. "Go right ahead!" He beamed!
I sat with them,and Xavier handed me a can of rootbeer. I gladly took it. "So, what'd I miss?" I asked.
It soon grew late,and everyone started heading home,except for Mitchel of course. I helped Kras and his parents finish with cleaning up,then his parents headed off to bed.
"I'll show you to the guest room." Christian said softly,rubbing his eyes.
I nodded with a yawn,and followed him upstairs. "Whenever you need me,this is my room." He said endearingly, pointing to his room.
"Mkay." I murmured. We walked to the last bedroom down the hall,and he turned on a dim lamp.
He hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Make yourself at home. Cause my home is yours too." He murmured fondly.
"Sweet dreams Celeste." He yawned, walking to his bedroom. I saw Mitchel walk up and follow him in.
"You too." I replied softly. I went in the guest room,and changed Into some PJs. I turned off the lamp,and cozied up under the covers. I laid my head on the soft,cool,pillow,and dozed off.
