"I think I'm finally ready for you to meet my parents." Ronnie said to Isabella as they were at lunch

"That's great, but may I ask why did it take so long?"

"I wasn't sure in the beginning how they'd react to you being mixed and who your family is, I for sure thought they wouldn't accept it and think of it as some school crush but you mean more to me than that.
They finally took notice when I got my summer job and saved up my money to buy you that charm bracelet I've been wanting to get you. You must be pretty special if I'm willing to spend ninety dollars on anyone."

"I honestly wish you wouldn't have spent that much money but I do love the bracelet very much, I wear it everyday because I know you got it with love." She smiled as she glanced down at her bracelet

"I know my parents will love you, just like I do."

"And what if they don't? Then what?" She asked as he heavily sighed

"I don't know, but I don't see any reason not to like you, you're smart, beautiful, rich, what's not to like?"

"My background unfortunately, but I don't let that change who I am. I'll forever be proud to be Isabella Reneé Andolini, the hottest Afro-Italian girl you've ever seen in life." She smiled as he laughed

"I can't deny, you are pretty hot."

"I'm glad I could make you laugh. Listen, whatever happens, just know that I love you very much and nothing will ever change that and let's not worry too much about it, we'll go with the flow."

"Alright, deal. I won't stress about it any longer." He said as she took his hand and held it


"Could you please put something else on, you'll embarrass me." Ronnie said to his little brother, Bobby, as Ronnie wanted him to change shirts

"I would hate to embarrass you in front of your girlfriend, but this is my favorite shirt. I'm not changing." He insisted as Ronnie scoffed

"Fine, but don't say anything. I don't want to hear a word from you." Ronnie said as he heard the doorbell and he flew down the hallway
"I'll get it!"

He took a deep breath and smoothed his shirt down as he opened the door to see Isabella in a dark blue dress with her dark brown curly hair perfectly framing her face. "Wow." He whispered as she smiled
"You look beautiful."

"Thanks, aren't you gonna invite me in?" She asked as he realized and quickly stepped to the side and closed the door after her

"Oh sorry, come in."

She giggled, "I told you don't be nervous, everything will be fine if you'd just relax a little. You look nice, so just be calm."

"I can't help but to be nervous, the closer this day got the more anxious I've become." He said as Bobby came out of the room and smiled once Ronnie locked eyes on him

Isabella noticed as she turned around and smiled, "Hi Bobby, you remember me?" She asked going towards him with her arms stretched

"Oh wow," He said eyeing her body as she grinned and gave him a hug.

"I know I look a little different than the last time you saw me, but you too have certainly grown. You'll have yourself a girlfriend in no time."

"Don't encourage him." Ronnie said as his parents came out of the room and Ronnie went and stood by Isabella
"Mom, dad, this is my girlfriend, Isabella, these are my parents; Melinda and Daniel."

"Hi, nice to finally meet you." Isabella said shaking their hands

"Same to you, we've heard already so much about you." Melinda said
