"You're so pretty, baby. I really believe I've got the prettiest girlfriend in the whole wide world."
Quincy sighs, resting his elbows on the table then his chin in his hands.

I wipe my mouth with a napkin awkwardly.

"By all means, finish them. I'll buy you all the wings in the world, your stomach is a bottomless pit."
He sighs, pushing the platter towards me.

"Absolutely not. We have to eat too."
Derek leans over and snatches the plate.

I roll my eyes, satisfied anyway.

I love wings.

But not nearly as much as I love Quincy.

I didn't think it was possible for him to be even better than he was before but he proved me wrong.

These past few weeks, he's treated me like a queen.

We've went on plenty of dates but my favorite thing to do with him is watch him watch my favorite movies.

I like to see his reaction.

Yesterday we watched Umbrella Academy on Netflix for the first time together and we completely fell in love with it.

He was so excited that he couldn't stop hugging me, I loved it.

He's so amazing, I can't believe I'm this happy.

But also nervous.

Because his family is coming on Friday.

And although he's got a good 4 days to get mentally prepared, I can tell that he's still extremely nervous.

Even though when I talked to Lance on the phone yesterday he said that there's nothing for Quincy to worry about.

His parents miss him like crazy.

I just want him to be happy and enjoy his family while he still can.

I don't want him to make the same mistake as I did and hold onto something so silly.

And for him to not realize it until it's too late.

I blink when I realize that he's still staring at me with that cute little smile of his, seemingly in his own head.

I like it when he wears his glasses, they always get all crooked when he stares at me like this.

He's so cute, I can't take it!

"Ugh. You guys make me want to puke."
Brandon complains, looking from me to him.

"Quit hating. They're happy, that's all that matters."
Liv scolds, busy scribbling in her notepad.

She spends more time scribbling down God knows what in that thing than eating.

That's what James told me anyway.

James is a bit overdramatic.

"I just love him so so much."
I sniffle, grinning at him.

Everyone looks at me.

"Don't worry about it guys. She always gets emotional when she eats wings."
Quincy assures them.

Ruby rolls her eyes.

"Oh my God, guys guess what today is?"
Derek looks up from his phone.

"Monday! The worst day of the week!"
Ollie shouts with glee.

Baby Gia wiggles excitedly in her little baby seat.

"April."
Derek turns to Jenny, who is busy stuffing her mouth.
