The Homeless Santa

The Homeless Santa Chapter Twenty-Six: Noami's Family

"Are you alright Nicholas?" A woman's voice spoke out, as the visualization soon changed to that of a much younger looking version of Nicholas who was seen sitting down in the passenger seat of a car, with his head hung low as he appeared to be playing around with his finger's a bit, at the time he was seen wearing a somewhat red-ish looking jacket that was unzipped revealing a blue t-shirt underneath it, and dark (darker than his shirt) blue jeans with white boots, indicating the time was at least nearing winter.

The woman beside him he knew as being his then-girlfriend Noami, at the time being she had white skin and blond-ish looking hair that was cut short and somewhat curly, while she was seen with bright blue eyes; and at the moment was wearing a pink shirt on with a green jacket over it, and dark blue jeans along with brown boots, as she was also visible with a black baseball hat on her head, and a gold necklace around her neck.

The two of them appeared to be in a driveway leading into a home, with Nicholas remaining silent continuing to play around with his fingers a bit, he could feel his heart pondering with concern, his palms were sweaty, and he was feeling himself shake a bit, he wanted to stop it all- he wanted to show he was strong, he wasn't nervous; but he just couldn't help it, as many things were swirling around in his head at the time being, before the next thing he knew, he overheard Noami soon added.

"Nicholas?"

"Huh?..oh sorry, w-what was that?"

"Are you alright?" Noami asked, as Nicholas shook his head and added.

"Er..ye-yeah, yeah I'm fine ..just ...meeting the parents, I mean that's a big step in our ...ar-are you sure about it?..you know, you come from-"

"Nicholas.." Noami stated putting her hand on his, as he looked at her square in the eyes; while she added.

"I'm sure...I am, alright?..you love me, I love you ...we've been talking about getting a place together- MY FOLKS should know who I'm with... just ...don't worry, just be yourself in there, and I'm sure they'll love you." And with this Nicholas nodded nervously, as she unseatbelted herself, and began to get out of the car, with Nicholas doing the same thing; following after Noami who began to approach the front door leading into the home.

The home was pretty basic in size, with blue painted walls- a window with the curtains pulled, and a nice looking yard out as the front yard, with green grass, some different colored flower's and what appeared to be a rose bush planted in the center of it all, but this didn't concern him much as the next thing he knew he found himself stepping up a few step's leading to the front door of the home, while Noami knocked on it.

"Oh, I almost forgot don't forget they hate the name Nicholas..so introduce yourself as anything else but Nicholas."
