New One, New Love | Rhea Ripley | Book 1

Meeting The Family

Chris's P.O.V.

Demi and I catched the 11 am flight to New Jersey. Surprisingly there weren't too many people on bored, maybe 100 or so. The plane could hold around 30p so it wasnt that bad. Demi took the seat near the window while I took the ile. She looked nervous and scared. I wrapped my arm around her body, kissing her cheek.

"Dont worry. The only one who knows about you is Grant. I told him last night." I said

Demi smiled, kissing my cheek. She seemed to calm down a bit, but I could tell that she was still nervous. Demi didnt have much confidence in herself and she struggled with people thinking badly of her.

It sucks because I always tell her she means the world to me. I always try to help her with these situations. However I think it's a problem that she can only fix herself. I'll be here the entire time to support her as well.

***3 hours later***

Demi and I landed in New Jersey, around an hour away from my Mom's house. She seemed happier now which made me happy too. I live seeing her smile, it's just beautiful.

We made it to my mom's house. I parked a block away so Demi could mentally prepare herself for meeting my family. I knew it still bothered her even when she denied it several times during the flight here.

I grabbed her hand, rubbing it softly. She was nervous as all living hell, that was clear. We got out if the car and made our way to the house.

Grant was outside and spotted us. He ran over to us.

"Hey man, glad you could make it." Grant said

"Wouldnt miss this for the world. Uh Grant this is my girlfriend I told you about, Demi."

Grant extended his hand to Demi and they both shook hands.

"Demi Bennett, nice to meet you." She said

"Grant Denton, and same here. The family is gonna like you. Cmon I'll get you guys in."

Demi and I followed Grant as he led us into Moms house. Everyone freaked out when they saw me.

"No freaking way!! Chris." Bryan said "And I see you've found someone."

"Yeah. This is my girlfriend Demi. We work together in WWE."

"Hi. Nice to meet you all..." Demi replied

"Aww shes so cute." Rene said

Demi blushed, looking to the ground.

"How old is she?" Sidney asked

"I'm 23..."

"Gosh your so beautiful. How did Chris get so lucky with you."

"Haha...we both were gonna ask eachother out after we won our titles. We both had the same idea."

"Yeah then we started to date. I've never been happier with another girl before. Demi makes me happy all the time."

"Look at you. We thought you were going to be single forever." Billy said "Then you find your future girlfriend at work? That's incredible."

I wrapped my arm around Demi, pulling her to the couch nearby. She leaned her head on my shoulder while I talked to Bryan, Billy and my Dad. All 3 of them genuinely liked Demi and thought she was a good match for me. It was great to get the validation from my Dad. He never really gave his opinion on older dates but it's good that he realizes Demi is special.

***Later That Night***
Around 12 PM

Demi and I lay on the sofa, with eachother in arms. She smelled amazing in my arms. Out of nowhere, she started to kiss my neck.

"Woah..." I moaned "Shit Demi."

She continued to kiss my neck, making her way up to my lips. She stopped for a second, looking directly into my eyes, before placing her lips onto mine. We kissed for a solid 5 seconds before I pulled away.

"Whyyy...." She squealed

"Because its bedtime. Cmon."

"Where will I sleep?"

"Uh..with me I guess? Well you dont have to..i mean.."

"Hey Chris...relax. I can sleep with you."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah I want to."

"Ok let's go then."

I grabbed her hand and let her to a guest room near the kitchen. I opened the door and led her to the bed. She got under the blankets while I took off my shirt.

"Damn..." Demi whispered.

I smiled as I made my way over to the bed.

"So did you enjoy yourself today?"  I asked as I went under the covers.

"Yes. I love your sisters." She said as she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close.

"I'm glad you like them. I think there really annoying."

She laughed placing a soft kiss onto my lips.

"Such a dork" I said while kissing her cheek.

"I'm your dork." Demi replied

"Yes you are."

Demi layed her head on my chest.

"Ugh I dont wanna leave tomorrow...I just want us to stay here."

"I know...me too." I reply kissing her lips passionately

"We have a job to do...if we dont do that, theres no money coming in."

"Your right. Dont worry it will be fine. But we should get some sleep. Goodnight Demi."

"Goodnight Chris."

We kissed one last time before we drifted to sleep.

I told you they would love you, didnt I Demi?
