We pulled up outside

"Ready to go in?" I asked and looked at her. She had a flowing, yellow summer dress on. I had my denim shorts and converses on accompanied by a red polo.

"I guess" she sighed.

"You look beautiful"

"Thanks" she said and kissed me quickly. She lingered longer than I would expect but I didn't complain. "Just giving that to you now because I doubt we will get away with anything here"

"Right, I knew there was a reason besides the fact you like kissing your boyfriend"

"Besides that of course"

"Come on, let's get this on" I said and got out. I went around and opened Alice's door for her and took her hand.

Mrs Pollcy answered the door and almost dropped the glass in her hand at the sight of me with Alice.

"Hi mum" Alice said and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hi Mrs Pollcy" I said and gave her a quick wave before Alice pulled me through the door. She stayed where she was before following us. She veered off to the kitchen while Alice dragged me out to the backyard that I was yet to see. There were only a small group of people there who looked like a family.

"Alice!"

"Hey Aunty Sue" Alice said and walked over to her still pulling me along.

"Who is this handsome fellow?" Sue asked Alice while looking at me.

"This is Oliver" Alice said and looked up at me.

"Nice to meet you" I said and put my hand out to shake hers. She shook it back and smiled.

"Nice to meet you too"

"And that's Uncle Mark over there at the barbecue" Alice said pointing to a man with a growing bald spot on the back of his head. "And this is Steve and Cara"

"Hey" I said and shook Steve's hand. He looked around 20 and my presumptions were proved true when he told me he was 20 and Cara was 16.

"Hi" she said and gave me a wave. She had blonde hair but green eyes that were similar to Alice's.

"Well, we'll see you guys later. We have to go face mum now" Alice said to the two after Sue disappeared to greet another guest.

"Alright, nice meeting you Oliver" Steve said and I agreed.

After being interrupted by all the arriving guests and being introduced a hundred times, we finally found Karen standing with Mr Pollcy by the barbecue.

"Ali!" her dad said as we approached. Alice let go of my hand as she was taken into a tight hug from her father. He had the black hair that Alice had inherited but blue eyes. Alice was quite a mixture of her parents.

"Hey dad!"

"Who is this?" he asked as he looked at me.

"Dad, this is Oliver" she said returning to my side and taking my left hand in her right.

"Nice to meet you sir" I said and held my hand out which he took with a firm grip.

"Greg. Nice to meet you son. I believe you already know my wife"
