"Hi."
His parents looked at me with wide-eyes, neither of them wanting to look down. Their mouths were open in shock, not knowing what to say.
"Why don't you get dressed and I'll make breakfast for everyone? Sound good?" Tom spoke awkwardly.
"Hey guys!" Harry burst through the front door.
"Mum?! Dad?! What the hell are you guys - oH mY gOD." He slapped a hand over his eyes once he saw me.
"I didn't see anything!"
"What are you - Mum! Dad!? What- COLE OH MY GOD!" Sam turned away.
I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment, not able to move. Tom came to my rescue and lightly grabbed my waist and escorted me to my room. He was going to stay but I just shooed him out and closed the door.
"So...fry up, anyone?" I could hear Tom offer.

I wanted to die. I wanted to fucking die. Why the hell did I do that?! Why were his parents here? I nearly fucking broke my ankle in those socks and embarrassed myself - not just in front of his parents, but his brothers, too. I was absolutely mortified. I changed in unusual silence, hearing the muffled conversations of Tom and his family. They were talking about me. I knew they were.
"So, you're dating your assistant?" Dom asked Tom, sitting down at the kitchen island.
"We uh...we had our first date last night." Tom gulped nervously.
"Well...she's a stunner- ow!"
Nikki slapped Dom's arm, "She didn't know we were coming. It's okay." She said soothingly to Tom.
"She's super embarrassed so no one comment on it or I swear to god- hey!"
I came out of my room and Tom nervously shouted 'Hey' at me. I changed into an appropriate outfit to meet my bosses and my...whatevers parents.
I clicked over in my heeled combat boots and gulped as I stood next to Tom at the kitchen island.
"I want to sincerely apologise for that. I didn't know that you guys were coming..." I avoided eye contact.
"It's okay. Trust me, I've been there." His mum laughed comfortingly.
I immediately calmed down and let out a small laugh.
"I'm Nikki," She smiled, holding out her hand.
I shook it, "I'm Cole."
"I'm Dom." I shook his hand with a smile.
"See? Water under the bridge." Tom kissed my hair next to my ear.
"So, are you two...a thing?" Nikki asked.
