Falling Into Place (Jaime Preciado) (*PTV* Fanfic 1)

71. "Ma... Ma... Si Ma but... MA!"

*JAIME*

"Ma... Ma... Si Ma but... MA!" I sighed, throwing myself on my couch groaning to the ceiling about my mom jabbering in my ear for the past half hour about nonsense.

Since we were home for a few days to pack for Chicago, i brought Laney back here to get settled in and help her unpack and get her anything she needed.

We even just got back about an hour ago from buying her a new Mustang since Dane had claimed hers as his when she moved to London and she felt bad about taking it back.

She was still unpacking her photos and things upstairs, as I was trying to make lunch, but then my mom called and started her usual jabbering.

Talking to my mother on the phone was absolutely horrible.. like seriously.

I love her and everything, but she was so talkative and in my business about anything and everything. Like right now in this moment she is scolding me for not bringing over Laney to meet the family yet.

Honestly, I haven't because I didn't want to scare Lane away.. and yes, i'm pretty sure Laney would be out the door before she stepped foot in the house... i know how my family is.

maybe i'm over exaggerating, but still.

Preciados are crazy motherfuckers.

And plus it was a complete surprise that she came back when she did, I obviously didn't mind, but apparently thats not a good enough excuse for my mother.

"Mi hijo, you bring her over tonight... you're coming anyways." my mother argued.

"i am?"

"you better... its our monthly family reunion that you haven't attended since you've been on tour and you're going to be busy with your fancy schmancy record since you leave in 2 days for Chicago.."

I looked up and saw Laney come down the stairs, her nose in her favorite book, Beautiful Oblivion, as she grabbed a glass of water and sat on the couch bringing her knees to her chest, never taking her eye off the pages. I smiled, loving how perfect she looked no matter what she did.

"Mi Hijo?"

I broke out of my train of thought, nodding to myself "yeah okay." I sighed, finally giving into my mothers request, rubbing my temples with my fingers.

I hope Lane doesnt kill me over this.

I heard my mom clap excitedly, "Jaime está trayendo a su novia todo el mundo!!!" (tr: Jaime is bringing over his Girlfriend everyone!) my mother yelled.

I face palmed and shook my head "bye Ma." I said and set my phone on the counter I looked over to the living room and felt a smile on my face as I saw her still there, hiding her face with her book. I walked around the counter and jumped over the back of the couch to plop next to her.

I laid down and put my head on Laney's lap, nuzzling my face up between her book and her nose, kissing it softly.

She scrunched up her nose and giggled "so, who was on the phone, Hime?" she asked, setting her book down and started twirling my hair in between her fingers as I laid back down across her lap. I shut my eyes and smiled, leaning into her touch.

"my mother." I said almost falling asleep from her touch.

"what did she say?" she asked, continuing to twist my hair with her fingertips.

I opened my eyes and looked up at her, "i have to go to a family reunion tonight to please my mother." I nodded , watching her face to see if she knew what i was getting to.

"well thats fun, i'm sure I can find something to do tonight." she smiled, picking back up her book and flipped back to her page, continuing to play with my hair with her tattooed hand. everytime i look at her tattoos i find something else new and mesmorazing.

i broke out of my stare ot her arm and I pushed down the book and shook my head, gazing up at her, "come with me."

I felt her stiffen and saw her raise an eyebrow at me. "you want me to meet your -Whole- family?"

I just nodded, "The whole crazy Preciado Clan.." I sighed,

she nodded, kissing my cheek "i'm uh.. going to get ready then." she said, closing her book and sliding away from me to trot up the stairs to our room.

I watched her go up the steps, sighing to myself.

I knew she didn't like being thrown into these kinds of situations. I tried to get out of it.. I really did.. its hard arguing with a 4 foot 6 inch Guatemalan lady... seriously... its darn near impossible to win.

I climbed the stairs after a few minutes, opening the door to the bedroom seeing her throwing clothes everywhere out of her suitcase that she has been too lazy to unpack, mumbling to herself as she threw everything everywhere.

I crouched down and sat behind her, bringing her back to my chest. Feeling her shaking like a chihuahua made me sigh and kiss her temple.

"I d-d-don't l-like th-this Jaime.." She mumbled out, breaking each word as she shook in panic.

"babe.. breathe." I said, tangling our fingers together on her stomach. I felt her chest rise and fall slowly as she did what I told, relaxing her body back into me, "are you nervous? Why are you nervous?"

Laney turned her head to look at me "i've haven't had a good experience with parents, Jaime... Ever... let alone had a whole family... too many people to please, what if they hate me? I can't lose you... Wgat if you're parents hate me? What if they dont-"

"Shut up." I cut her off by shaking my head, "You're crazy for thinking those kinds of things..." I nodded, kissing her temple again. "If they don't like you then to hell with them.. we'll move to Idaho and have a moose farm in the hills of Seattle." nodding confidently, but chucking at my own statement.

"3 things wrong with that Hime... Seattle is in Washington.. not Idaho, Moose don't usually live in the United States.. and Seattle is flat." She let out a quiet laughed, turing her head to look up at me.

I rolled my eyes "alright miss master of all Geometry.."

she blinked a few times, "Geography, Hime.. Geography."

"You know I only have a high school education Miss Master's degree in everything."

She rolled her eyes at that one with a laugh, "yeah okay Hime.."

I smiled and kissed her cheek, you still want to go tonight?" I asked, playing with out hands that were still tightly wound to one another.

She took a moment before she nodded "yeah... But I have a slight delema as to what I'm going to wear... " She said, looking at the clothes that now covered the hardwood floors.

I got up and looked at all over her clothes strewn over the ground, picking up random articles and huffed, "you know you're asking for fashion help from the guy who wears flip flops with skinny jeans right?"

she laughed and shook her head "who said I asked for your help and who said I didn't like your style?" she winked as I picked up a pair of pitch black skinnies, with a grey and pink heavy lace tank top out of her suitcase, throwing them at her with her grey converse.

"Thanks babe." she said as she got up, quick changing into them and nodded at my selection on her body "not bad."

I shrugged, having already put on a clean Rebel8 Tee and fixed my less-spiky quif, "not bad," I remarked, as I took her hand a pulled her close, kissing her temple before bringing her to my car.
