Texts between Mar and Mila:

Mar: okay, so you want me to go with you guys to your family dinner?

Mila: yes, it'll just be my dads side and my mom said I could bring you.

Mar: I'm scared. Why isn't your moms side going though.

Mila: oh my god don't be. If anything there won't be enough room so you, me, Mattia, And Anastasia will be at a different table. Most of her family lives in Mexico, so.

Mar: oh. And why would we sit at a different table?

Mila: my dads family is too big to fit at one big table. It'll be fine. Just be here by 5, yeah?

Mar: ok, okay but. What kinda restaurant is this?

Mila: its a fancy casual Italian restaurant. I don't know. Just wear a polo and some black jeans. That's fine

I am kinda scared. My family is meeting Mar for the first time. I think they'll like him, I mean my parents did. So there shouldn't be a problem. Right?

After a few hours I head out of my room to see people in the kitchen and Living room. They all see me and come swarming around me. Giving me baci (kisses) and hugs.

Oh how pretty
So excited to meet your new boyfriend
Happy birthday beauty

I stand there waiting for it to be over.

I hear a knock on the door. I run over and swing it open to see Mar. i swing my arms around him and go on my tip toes considering the height difference. He gives me a quick kiss on the cheek. I plant my feet back on the ground and he looks up to see my entire family staring.

Mila: mar, this is my family.

They run up to the door. My little cousins Giovanni and Flavio look up at him with wonderous looks. (Yes, i know these names are Italian. I did it on purpose)

Giovanni: wow, he's like a giant. Look mama!

He points up at Mar.

My Aunt Carina puts his arm down.

Aunt Carina: Giovanni Polibio. It's not nice to point.

She puts out her hand.

Aunt Carina: hi, I'm Carina. Mila's aunt. Nice to meet you.

Mar shakes it and says, "nice to meet you too."

My uncles come up with my dad. They eye Mar up and down.
