Messy Love (Ed Sheeran)

Meeting His Parents

"And that's where I remember getting high for the first time," he pointed as we drove, I let out a laugh even though deep inside I felt like vomiting from nervousness, not from morning sickness. Still haven't gotten that. Whoot whoot.

"Turn left and destination is on your right." The gps voiced. I did as it told and parked at the corner of the street..

"We're here!" I clutched the wheel in nervousness and looked at Ed who looked at me suspiciously. He scanned my face before reaching for my hand, and i watched as concern washed over him

"Your hand is so cold," I made my fingers into fists and laughed a bit.

"Just a bit nervous that's all. Don't even worry about it," I waved him off as I turned off the engine. And just as I was going to pull off my seat belt he stopped me.

"Wait, let's kinda settle down before..." He trailed off and I just looked blankly before nodding. Was he going to set down some type of code system on what to and not to do around his parents? Because that would be helpful.

"Okay," I finished before we sat in silence for a second.

"Barbs, can I ask you something?" He said lowly. I turned to look at him softly.

"Yes?"

He looked down at my hand that he pulled towards him, and his eyebrows furrowed as he thought.

"What did... Your dad do?" He asked before his blue eyes looked up at me. I froze, completely thrown off by the question.

"Um, my dad?," I said oddly, looking away out the window as I contained my overflowing thoughts and memories of things I never wanted to remember...why would he ask me-

"Wait, you overheard my mom didn't you?" I realized and I shook my head, disgraced for having Ed feel like he wasn't accepted into my family. Of course he was, I just... My mom had never replied like that before.

"Well, yeah.. I'm sorry," he said before sighing.

"Never mind, forget about it, let's just go meet my mum and dad," he faked a smile while there was a dying tint of curiosity in his eyes.

I nodded, for now let me just focus on not throwing up.

Ed held my waist as he stood beside me and rung the doorbell.

You could hear stammering of feet and conversations and I guess that made me a bit more edgy about how I should act... Are they loud? Fancy English people? I don't know.

"Edward, love. I missed you!" The older lady looked at her son. Her smile genuine and happy. She hugged him tightly before looking at me and her eyebrows rose with surprise.

"Mum, I want you to meet Barbara." Ed said softly as he turned to me, his smile cheek to cheek.

"Is this the sweet girl I've been hearing about everywhere?!" She laughed and I smiled, when deep down inside all you here on gossip shows is us and our... Intimate moments..
O
"Oop, you're such a sweetheart!" I looked at Ed and he smirked, raising an eyebrow before laughing. Did I do something wrong?

"Anyways come in come in! We've been waiting for you guys!" Eds mother pulled away and walked into the living room. The house smelled like tea and had an earthly Aroma to it.

Ed laughed and grabbed my waist, pulling me close to him. I gave him a look of confusion- I'm still wondering what's wrong.

He shook his head and pointed ahead, where his dad sat in the dining table, a smile on his face.

He stood and Ed pulled away again to hug his dad before pulling away and extending his arm to me.

"Dad, this is Barbara, " he nodded and greeted me, and I awkwardly shook his hand.
