CASSIE FORTZ

29

Not edited

Getting ready for my date with Levi's parents I can't help but be nervous.

Deciding on a fitted blue turtle neck sleeveless dress, I place my hair in a bun, settling on pearl drop earrings, the diamond necklace Levi got me and my nude heels.

I heard the bell ring downstairs so I took that as my cue to leave

As I'm walking down, i lock eyes with Levi and he just stares at me in awe

He stretches his hand for me to take which I do, and he pulls me to him

"Wow, you look stunning" he breathes

"gosh you're making it hard for me to control myself around you" he says and I chuckle

"C'mon lover boy, we're gonna be late" I take his hand in mine and we walk out.

On our drive to the restaurant I was rather quiet, a lot was going through my mind

What if she doesn't like me

Or what if his dad doesn't approve

Oh God

"Princess? What's wrong?" Levi asks

"Babe, it's nothing I'm just nervous" I say and the locks our fingers together

"There's nothing to be nervous about. You'll be fine" he says. Kissing my hand.

Moments later we arrive at the restaurant and Levi takes my hand in his and we walk in together.

As we walked towards the table where Levi's family was seated, a woman my mum's age looked at us and smiled warmly.

"Oh lev! I've missed you so much!" she pulls Levi for a hug and Levi laughs. I just smile awkwardly, trying my best not to flop

"Oh and you must be Cassie! I've heard so much about you!" she pulls me in for a hug and I return the gesture.

"Nice to meet you ma'am" I say with a smile

She's not so bad

"oh nonsense my child! You can call me Martina! Come let's have a sit" she says and pulls me to sit with her

Only then did I notice the young man across me. He looked like a younger version of Levi, just that unlike Levi he had jet black hair, looking just like their dad, Mr Rosario looked like the older version of Levi, he had this powerful aura around him.

"Good day sir" I greet him, Levi's dad that is

"Nice to meet you Cassie. How are you?"

"Oh I'm fine thank you sir"

The waiter, took our orders and arrived later with our food, Martina and I kept chatting away, while Levi and his brother were deep in a conversation.

Turns out Martina was also into fashion design too and she has a clothing line of her own and it's doing really well.

"So Cassie what do your parents do?" Mr Rosario asks and I clear my throat

"My dad works in a construction company, and mum is the head chef of a restaurant" I say and he nods

"And you? What do you do?" he asks me

"I'm a fashion designer sir" I tell him and he smiles

"Just like Martina"

"And do you love my son" he asks

"Honestly sir, I don't think the word love can explain how I feel for your son, he's everything a girl would want in a man, he gives the best advice and knows how to handle any situation. I actually can't imagine a life with out Levi. He makes me happy and so I always try my best to make him happy too, and yes I'm not perfect, none of us are but I know together we can overcome any obstacle." I reply looking directly at levi

" Awwww Giovanni she's perfect for our son" Martina gushes and I smile at her

"Well then Cassie, welcome to the family, you can call me Giovanni, and don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything" Mr Rosario flashes me a smile with I return

Now I see where Levi got his killer smile from

On our way out of the restaurant Levi and I walked hand in hand to his car

"Cassie" I turn around to see Levi's younger brother.

"I never got to introduce myself, I'm Luigi" he stretches his hand and I shake hands with him

"Nice to meet you, and I hope you'll be around for the wedding?" I ask him and he laughs

"you're a great person Cassie, I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything in the world and also my brother will be pissed at me if I don't come" He says and Levi laughs

"sure" I smile too

"So I guess I'll see you around then?" I say and he nods.

"Well that went well" I say to Levi with a smile

"Told you so" He says flicking my forehead with his finger

"ouuuch! Levi!" I pout and he laughs

"Sorry, come here sweetheart" he kisses my forehead

"Come on let's go home" he says and we get into the car, headed for home

"So babe I don't get to touch you at all until the wedding?" Levi says with a pout and I smile

"Yes baby, until the wedding"

"Not even a little bit?"

"No baby" I say with a smile looking out the window

I honestly can't wait for my wedding day
