C20: Meet The Family

DEV POV

After an extravagant shopping spree that I could afford myself, and hours of just getting ready for Momma J's dinner. It was finally time to actually go. I'm nervous because Chris been acting really funny towards me ever since we left that jewelry place. I don't know what his deal is, I love the bracelet he gave me. I love the fact that he has one with my initials. I didn't even complain about him saying it was to convince his cousins. He came up with that on the spot I could tell. It is what it is though.

I fix my short purple babydoll dress, and slip on my heels. Casual and cute, it's a dinner, not a BBQ... I hope I don't look crazy. I walk out of Chris' room, where I guess I'm being forced to sleep and head down the stairs. Chris is at the door, wearing a white sweater, that has these black stripes at his lower torso, black distressed jeans, two gold chains, and this black hat.
If he asked me to marry him right now, I'd yes with NOT ONE ounce of hesitation.

"Like what you see?" He asks interrupting my staring session.

"Can't deny that you clean up really nice Christopher."

"You don't look so bad yourself Isabelle." He says looking me up and down. I finish down the stairs before walking over to him and straightening out a flaw in his sweater. I look up at him and smile.

"There. I think we're ready to go."

He opens the door for me and I walk outside, it's still bright out a lil bright out.

"Chris?" I say

He's about to open his door but stops and looks at me.

"Yeah?" He responds

"Let's take a picture?" I ask in a low tone.

I got this feeling he might say no, but instead he closes the door and walks over to me. He takes my phone and opens up my camera. He puts his arm around me pulling me close and kisses the side of my forehead while snapping a picture. I reach up and kiss his cheek and he snaps another.

"Good?" He asks

"Yeah thank you." I answer

"Don't mention it."

We both get in the car and head to Momma J's house.

CHRIS POV

"Come on. Everyone's probably waitin on us." I tell Isabelle who's getting real nervous all of a sudden.

I'm still pissed over that text from Will, but she's gonna get it after this thing with my family. I'm not gonna have Moms upset with me tonight.

"What if I'm overdressed? What if everyone thinks this dress it too revealing, or even worse that my ass shouldn't even be in this dress. I could not even deal with that!" I say

I grab her hands and get her to look at me. Even though I'm mad, I got to be considerate for her. Like I said, this niceness that's been goin on is temporary. She doesn't deserve my niceness.

"It'll be alright. It's just my family. And if you're overdressed, than so am I. I'm here for you, I got you, imma take care of you aight? Just chill the fuck out."

"I was wondering where that Chris was.." She says

"The irritated as hell one?" I ask

She nods.

"Just come on Sanders." I say pulling her up the steps and opening the door.

"AYYYYYE, CB IS IN THE HOUSE!" My cousin Jamal yells.
