A Lifetime With You

Meeting the Parents

June 2017
Joe's POV
I woke up in bed and rolled over to kiss my girlfriend, only to notice I was alone. I quickly notice the smell of pancakes coming from the kitchen so I go downstairs and there she was, her hair in a messy bun, and in one of my t-shirts and a black thong. I sneak up behind her and squeeze her butt cheeks, causing her to jump. "Good morning" she said, wrapping her arms around my neck. "Good morning" I say, kissing her lips softly. "What if your parents hate me?" She hit me on the arm playfully. "Don't be ridiculous. They're gonna love you. You know how I know? Because I love you." She always knew how to bring a smile to my face. We're currently 8 months into the relationship and it's been magical.

Later that night—Taylor's POV
Taylor was getting some makeup on and getting ready to go to her parents' house for dinner. "How do I look?" Joe asked me. "Hot. Now would you please stop worrying? They're gonna love you. My dad will most likely pull you aside and talk to you, but that's normal. Just take a deep breath and calm down. It'll be great." We leave and go to my parents' house. I introduce Joe to them and we go to the table to eat.

Joe's POV
"So, where are you from Joe?" Scott asked me. "I was born and raised in London. Spent most of time in England growing up. Went to school and became an actor. It's my passion." Scott looked impressed by my answer. "So, when y'all have free time, do you and Taylor have any hobbies?" Scott asked. I say in my head Besides fucking all day? Not really? "We play scrabble, watch Greys Anatomy, play with the cats, go hiking, lots of stuff." He again seems impressed. We finish up dinner and I go to the kitchen to help Andrea clean up. "Joe, you wanna come outside with me for a while?" Scott asked. I followed him and Taylor helped her mom clean. "You seem like a really awesome man. Her exes treated her like dirt, but you seem so genuine. I would like to ask though...what are your intentions with my daughter?" I almost choked on my drink. "Well, sir... I see myself building a future with Taylor. She's such a joy to be around. She's so loving and caring towards other people. I see myself dating her for about 6 more months, then asking you for her hand in marriage. I wanna grow old with her. I feel like she really is the person for me." Scott nods, then fist bumps me. "Yep, you're a good one. Promise me you'll take care of her?" he asks. "I promise."

Taylor's POV
It was a little late and Joe and I were both a little too tipsy to drive so we were staying with my parents for the night. "That wasn't so bad was it?" He shakes his head. "I love them. They're so sweet." he said. "See! I told you." I lie down next to him and place a passionate kiss on his lips and turn out the lamp and we both fall asleep for the night. I'm so happy my parents love him as much as I do. I couldn't ask for more than this.
