'"Wait, Alex, don't leave, I have to say something'
'What'
'I never knew what love truly was, I never had felt anything- for anyone really, I can't figure this all out- hell, I cant figure myself out, never mind figuring love out, its weird, you drive me crazy, and give me butterflies, I can't help but smiling when I'm around you-and I'm sorry that I messed up, I just figured this whole love thing out, but I love you and only you and I'm so sorry that I messed up. I love you, you drive me insane, but you let me know what love was, and I'm thankful for that you did'"
"So 7:00 at Ruth's Chris Steak House?" my mother said sweetly. "I think it's on...Summer Street, right?"
"School Street," I corrected, rubbing my head.
"Well we'll see you at 7:00."
"Yeah. I love you," I sighed.
"I love you too. This is so exciting!"
"Yeah. Bye mom."
She hung up, and I looked at Milan.
"What the fuck did I just get us into?" I practically cried.
"A dinner with your family. I don't understand why it's so bad," he shrugged.
"They're my family, that's why! Oh...no. This isn't gonna go well," I sighed. "I just know it! I know it."
"Calm down, Dax," he rolled his eyes.
"Calm down...obviously you've never met my family," I muttered.
"No. That's why we're doing this dinner. It'll be fine...I hope. Any tips?"
"Yeah. Don't cuss, be polite, and um...my brother's a Montreal fan," I blurted. His eyes widened.
"Oh shit."
