Noah's p.o.v

"So is this person your girlfriend?" My grAndpa asked as I finished packiNg up for the picnic.

My face crimsoned

"No. Its a friend." I told him. "It was a guy."

Grandpa raised his brow, as a surprised look appeared on his face, and my kind began to race in panic. Was I too obvious? All i said was that it wasn't a girlfriend...shit I shouldn't have added 'it was a guy'

"Oh..." he said eventually. "Then is he your boyfriend?"

Words flew out of my mouth .

"No!No!No! We're not dating! I mean we haven't kissed or been on a date or anything! He's just a friend!"

He raised his hand in defense as he let out a little laugh.

"Okay, okay I believe you! Sorry, it's none of my business, I didn't mean to be nosy. I sincerely apologize. "

My face burned in embarrassment as my eyes fell to the ground. Next thing I knew, I said something i wasn't planning on saying.

"But....I'm in love with him."

A few moments of silence followed and I eventually looked up. He had a soft look on his face which turned into a small smile as he ruffled my hair.

"It shows on your face. So when are you going to introduce me to him?"

Happiness began to overwhelm me. I could introduce the person I'm in love with to my family.

"Why?" I asked trying to not sound eager.

"Because I want to meet the person who makes my grandson happy. " he stated matter of factly. "I'm willing to love anyone who you love. I'll give them respect as long as they treat you right. "

The warm bubbly feeling occurred in my chest and I nodded. l really did love my grandpa.I'm so relieved that he' s on my side.

On the day if the picnic, I woke up early and got dressed. I threw on casual clothes but the only thing that was out of place was my sweater. It was supposed to be really hot today and i tried wearing the lightest one possible but I was still sweating a little and I wasn't even outside yet.

As I waited, I watched t,v with my phone in my hand. I had texted him the address and a few minutes ago, he told me he was on his way.

Grandpa was in the kitchen, cleaning, and the wife was in their room. She then came out and as she walked by, she asked me if I was hot in my sweater. I simply shrugged.

Before I knew it, Eric texted me, saying he was outside.

I was excited to see him but also extremely nervous. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down as I grabbed the food and put on my shoes. I said goodbye to grandpa and he walked out of the kitchen.

"Bye, pumpkin. Remember, bring him over for dinner. Today, tomorrow whenever it's convenient for him "

"Okay," I smiled, tryjng to brush off the embarrassment as I walked out the door.

When I approached Eric's car, my mind raced and I tried to look calm. However this blazing heat sure wasn't helping. I didn't know how I was going to last all day in this sweater.

I climbed into the passenger seat, holding the food in my lap. As I put on my seatbelt, I was waiting for Eric to say something but he didn't.

"Hi. " I said and he responded with "ler's go," and he started driving.
