It's Complicated... - H.S

Chapter 35: Accidentally In Love.

MARIGOLD'S POV:

    I look at my house in front of me, knowing that everything is about to change within the hour.

    "Say the plan again." I mumble.

    "You get out, go inside, I go home, bring my parents over here, and we tell them we're dating, and have been since October...and hope they don't kill us." He stares too, and we both take a deep breath together. "Your dad is going to murder me..." He mumbles, and I shake my head.

    "It's going to be fine... Everything is going to work out perfectly fine." I shrug my shoulders, and he sighs.

    "You're lying to make me feel better.."

    "I am lying to make you feel better..." I repeat his words, and look at him. "It's now or never... Are you ready?" I ask, and he gives a short nod. "Alright... I'll see you in a little bit." I lean over the center console, and kiss his cheek right before getting out, and getting the bag I packed from his back seat. I walk to the front door, and go inside, hearing my mom cooking already.. Cooking for all of us, little does she know we might spoil dinner with the truth.

    "Mari? Is that you?" She asks, and I set my bag by the stairs, walking into the kitchen.

    "Hi mom." I smile, and walk up to her at the stove.

    "So why did you and Harry insist on a full family dinner tonight?" She asks, referring to his family as the full family per usual.

    "It's our first day back... Why not?" I ask, and she thins her eyes at me, knowing something is up. "We just wanted to see each side of the families, that's all I promise." I lie to her, and she gives me a quick look before turning back to the food on the stove.

    "You two better not be up to something... I swear you're always up to something... Last time you scheduled one of these dinners you asked us if you two could move into an apartment together..." She looks over her shoulder, and I shrug, walking away, hoping she doesn't see the sweat on my forehead. I am going to piss my pants.. Truly, honestly I think I might..

    "Hey darling!" I turn back around to see my dad walk through the back yard.

    "Hi dad, how are you?" I ask, seeing him kick his snowy shoes off.

    "Ready for dinner... How are things at the apartment? Everything in the city okay? Harry treating you alright?" He asks, and I panic.

    "Yea, of course he is, why wouldn't he be... treating me right I mean.." I speed through my words, and he furrows his brows.

    "Just making sure you're not arguing or anything like that.. I know how it can be when you live with your best friend.." He tells me, and I nod, realizing how dumb I sounded.

    "Yep, everything is great! Love you guys, see you in a few." I walk away, and close my eyes as I face palm. What the hell am I going to do? After a little while of me keeping myself busy I hear the door open, and I jump up, running from my room, pushing past both of my sisters.

    "What the hell Marigold, why the hell are you-" Dahlia stops talking, and opens her mouth. "Shit... Shit you're telling mom and dad aren't you?" She asks, and Jess looks in my eyes.

    "She so is telling mom and dad, oh my god, this is going to be the best dinner ever." She rubs her hands together, giving an evil look.

    "You two keep your mouths shut. Let us do the talking, do you understand me?" I point to both of them, and they nod their heads, crossing their hearts. I leave them, and walk down the stairs, letting them follow behind. I see Harry standing behind his parents, and he gives me a nod, playing it cool as if we're not together, and I hate this, but I also hate the thought of telling my parents too.
