Into You (COMPLETE)

Chapter 35

CHAPTER 35:

Emma's POV:

Next morning, I wake up at 9 and get ready to go the mall.  I let Jeremy know what I am going to do and he agrees. He tags along and helps me pick gifts for everyone. He insisted on paying but then it wouldn't be a gift for them so I paid for everything, against his will. But he will get over it.

The get together is at 6 in the evening so I have plenty of time. So when we are driving back from the mall, I decide to introduce Jeremy to my parents. When I park in the drive way, I prepare myself to the worst. Jeremy paces his hand on mine, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"It will all be okay" he says reassuring me. I just give him a small smile and nod at his words. I keep the bags in the car and we stand in front of the door. I am nervous, one could tell that from the fidgeting and the clammy hands. Jeremy holds my hand and gives me an assuring squeeze, letting me know he is here. Just then, the door swings open and my mom is standing in front of me.

She smiles at me but it starts vanishing when she sees Jeremy.

"Hey sweetie, who's this?" She asks, confused as to why there is a stranger holding her daughters hand.

"Mom.. don't over react, but this is my boyfriend" I say and wait for her reaction.

"Thank god! It's high time you got one. Come in, make yourself at home" she says and walks inside. Jeremy looks at me with a smile and we follow her. I am somewhat confused by her reaction. What I am worried about is my father's reaction. Just on cue, my father walks down the stairs.

"Well.. well.. well.. who is this young man?" My dad asks as he enters the living room and takes a seat on the couch. I put my head down, embarrassed by his behaviour.

"It's Jeremy King, sir" Jeremy introduces himself and takes his hand out for a shake. Dad shakes his hand and looks impressed.

"Firm handshake. So, what are your intentions with my daughter?" My dad asks and scratches his chin, to look more intimidating.

"Dad!!" I shriek, not expecting him to say anything like that.

"He is my boyfriend, that's it" I say and don't let Jeremy answer.

"Okay.. do you like sport?" my dad asks.

"Yes sir.. I love watching and playing basketball" Jeremy says which must have even more impressive.

"Hmm.. good. So, what do you do?" My dad asks.

"Rob honey, let the poor boy be" my mom interjects. My dad can never say no to my mom. So, he just sits there. We talk about a few things like my father found about the king family and his interests. My mom was about to take out my baby pictures, when I stopped her.

"Mom! We don't have time to see those photos. I have to go meet his family in an hour" I say and give her a very sweet smile.

"Ma'am, don't worry. I'll be over soon to see those photos" Jeremy says and shoots a wink at me with a smirk. I give him a stinky eye.

"Emma, go get dressed and get there early to help out the family" mom says and I do just that. I go up and get dressed.

I decide to wear a white dress with net details and it's single strap and looks pretty decent. I decide to leave my hair open and keep my makeup to the minimal. Just then, I hear a knock.
