The doorbell rang and Hunter ran to open the door.

"Excited to see me?" asked Skylar Ortaz with a smirk.

"Riding want you to have an awkward meeting with a family member before me," said Hunter.

"Ah, an awkward moment with you?" asked Skylar.

"No, uh, okay never mind . Let's ignore what I say, sounds good?" Hunter asked.

"Okay," chuckled Skylar.

Hunter looked at her girlfriend. She was wearing a shirt-sleeved, black dress that reached her a little bit below her knees that was paired with black combat boots. Wrapped around her waist was a green plaid shirt that Hunter was pretty sure belonged to him. On her head was a green headband.

"Is that my shirt?" asked Hunter.

"I think it belongs to me now," said Skylar. "Are you going to invite me in?"

"Right," said Hunter as he let Skylar in. "Get ready to meet the family."

Sooner rather than later, Skylar was standing about to say hello to the Evans family.

"Everyone. Meet my girlfriend, Skylar Calli-"

"Sky is enough, Hunter," said Skylar, glaring up at her boyfriend.

It was after brunch and Skylar was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone until two certain girls got her attention.

"Skylar," said Petunia as she sat down beside her brother's girlfriend.

"Sky is good enough," said Skylar Ortaz as Lily sat on Skylar's other side.

"Well then, Sky, how old are you?" asked the redhead.

"Twenty two," answered Skylar.

"Recently twenty two or twenty two turning twenty three this year?" asked Petunia.

"Twenty two turning twenty three," clarified Skylar.

"One year younger than Hunter," said Petunia. "What are you majoring in or what do you do for work?"

"I majored in computer science," said Skylar.

"Interesting," nodded both Petunia and Lily.

"Is this the payback for Hunter interrogating your boyfriends?" Skylar asked the two girls.

"Maybe," said Petunia.

Skylar laughed. "Good payback idea."

"Why thank you," said Lily. "I'm the mastermind."

"And I'm her fashionable, great accomplice," said Petunia.

It was almost sunset and Skylar announced that she had to leave or else her mother would worry and her father might just match up to the houses to kill her boyfriend Hunter.

No matter how old Skylar was, she was an only child and her parents cherished, adored, and were very careful with her. Even if she was twenty two year old, her parents still were worried about her wherever she was.

"Next time, you have to meet my parents," said Skylar as her boyfriend walked her to the door. "I can't promise that my grandparents won't be there."

"Your parents might pull them into it?" asked Hunter, raising an eyebrow.

"They just might," said Skylar, as she reached her hand up and ruffled her boyfriend's hair.

"Leave the hair," said Hunter with a chuckle as he side stepped away from his girlfriend's hands. "What has this hair ever done to you?"

"I'm your girlfriend," said Skylar with a shrug. "I have free right to touch your hair whenever I want."

"I feel like my hair is my property and I have to give you permission," said Hunter.

"Yeah, right," said Skylar. "I'm your girlfriend, Dufus."

"Topic of the hair away," said Hunter as he opened the door and walked out the door with his girlfriend. "I'm sorry for my family."

"Why? I felt they were nice and comfortable to be around," said Skylar.

"Sky, it's me. You can be honest."

"I am honest, Hunter," chuckled Skylar. "Your family was great. Hell, I actually enjoyed Petunia and Lily interrogated me. I just need one favor from you."

"What?"

"Stop threatening their boyfriends," said Skylar.

"No can do. I'm the man of the house."

That made both of them laugh.

Skylar grabbed her skateboard and started putting on her protection gear.

"I repeat," said Skylar. "Don't threaten their boyfriends."

"I repeat," said Hunter, mimicking his girlfriend's tone. "Nope. I'm the man of the house."

"Stop it, Dufus," said Skylar, chuckling and rolling her storm gray eyes at her boyfriend's acting. "See you later."

With that, she skated off. Hunter watched as she skated away until she was no longer in view.

"I like her," said Lily. Hunter turned around and looked at his sister. "She is much better than that bar girl. You have to cry at your wedding, got it?"

Hunter started chasing his youngest sister. It felt like they spend the rest of the day running. It was as if they were kids again, Hunter chasing Lily with laughs that sounded sweet as any melody you hear.
