Families gathered within the famous beach house, each enjoying a drink and a light chat. Adults consumed in their own conversations, to distracted to notice your eyes trained on Brianna. She blissfully ignored your looks, focused on her sister as she spoke about her children. She had invited you to prove to her family that she has 'friends'. They were delighted to hear the news, Brianna has friends, it came as a shock. She neglected to inform her family that this 'friend' happened to be the 'girlfriend'. You spent the majority of the day indulging small talk, remarks about Brianna and the occasional questions. You may have avoided telling lies but deceiving the family wasn't on the list of conversations.

When her father cornered you in the kitchen, you believed it would be the end. He dragged the silence out, waiting for Sol to be by his side. Bouncing on the balls of your feet, your nerves began to grow at the thought of being caught. Brianna would kill you if she discovered she was outed to the family. When Sol arrived it was like a breath of fresh air, you were finally able to get this over and done with. However when Robert began mentioning a young man that works within his office, the air turned sour. Even though the father's were unable to pick up the connection between you and their daughter, they were ready to steer you towards a potential partner. Robert spoke highly of this unknown man, his work ethic, his traits, his hobbies and how they would match yours. They went to the trouble to already book a restaurant for the date they had set up, it didn't sit well with you. You felt trapped and all you could do was offer a pleasant thank you and warm smile. It was enough for them to plead their case and leave you with your thoughts. In a hast, you marched towards Brianna, politely excusing her and pulling her towards an empty room. You shut the door, locking it behind you for privacy. Brianna quirked her eyebrow at your actions, a small smirk upon her lips.

"With the family downstairs? I didn't know you had it in you" she swayed towards you, slinking her arms around your waist. You were quick to wriggle out of her grip, slipping past her

"What? No! Your dads just set me up on a blind date" Brianna's eyes went wide, she let out a bellowed laugh. For the initial idea of sex and for the look of utter shock on your features. Brianna could have lots of fun with this.

"Ooh really? Who is it? Do I know them?" She inquired, an amused smile replacing her smirk. She noticed how your body changed, your hands tensed and you went stiff.

"Brianna take this seriously"

"Oh come on, it'll be good" you could feel the anger rise to your chest. The way she was nonchalant about the situation, you couldn't entertain this idea. You had hoped she wouldn't either.

"I don't know about you but I'm not interested in going on dates with people who aren't my girlfriend"

"Babe, it won't happen" she gently placed her hands in yours, the most tender she's ever been with you. She looked you in the eye with certainty, squeezing your hand for reassurance. She placed a kiss to your forehead before letting go of your hand. She made a move for the door, unlocking it. She tugged you out into the hallway, which made you stop abruptly.

"What are you doing?" You questioned, confused by her sudden actions.

"We're going to show my family, that I'm the only one that gets to date you" her voice was stern and honestly it did wonders for you. All you could do was nod your head and go with the plan, following close behind her.

"Hey everybody!" She shouted over mixed conversations, gaining the attention of those around her. "No more setting my girlfriend up on dates. She's mine and I would like it to stay that way" the room collectively dropped their jaws. All that could be heard was the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore.

"Good for you, honey" Frankie raised her glass in celebration of the abrupt announcement. Slowly everyone followed raising their glasses high, looking to each other for guidance. Brianna extended a nod towards Frankie, before continuing her day. The rest of the visit was awkward as the family adjusted to the surprise news. By the end, they had initiated you into the family. Robert even apologised for his efforts to match you with a bachelor, offering the date to you and Brianna.

"No more awkward family announcements, I can't take another one" you laughed on the drive home. This is definitely not how you pictured the day to go.

"Oh hell no. I'm all out"

"Thank god" you both reminisced on the shock on their faces, the awkward conversations and how you were nearly auctioned off on a blind date. On that drive home Brianna swore that she would make an effort to show you affection, even in the smallest of ways.
