Your getting ready for dinner with Chris family.
You wanted to look nice so you put on a dark sage/green lace dress.

You stand in the bathroom putting in some earrings, when you notice Chris looking at you. He stood by the door leaning up against the doorframe.

"What ?" You ask

"Nothing you just look-" Chris was literally speechless
You stand there blushing

"I wanted to look fancy for dinner " you tell him
Chris walks up to you holding your hips

"We should definitely skip dinner and go straight to dessert" he says attaching his lips to yours

"As much as I liked that, we have to go" you say to Chris as you fix the collar of his shirt "I want to meet them" you add

"I know" he smiles. Chris looks deep in your eyes as you look beep into his ocean blue eyes. "You look beautiful" he says

"Thank you" you tap one last kiss on his lips before you two say bye to dodger and get in the car.

The drive there was silent. Some music playing on the radio.

"I'm surprised there have not been any camera men spotted yet" Chris says breaking the silence.
The car stops at a red light, exactly then you and Chris notice cameraman/paparazzi capturing pictures of you two
You try hiding you face with you hand while Chris puts on a baseball cap.
"I spoke to soon" Chris says

"Shit, so much for keeping this between us"  you say
The light turns back to green.

"Sadly this is something you must get used to, they'll do whatever to get a picture" he says "I'm sorry if your uncomfortable if I could stop this I would-"

"Hey it's fine don't worry about. You warned me about this, plus it's not like there asking any questions. Just rumours" you smile

"Yeah just rumours" Chris rests his hand on you thigh
The light turns green.

< Lisa's house 📍>

You guys get there and stand outside the house

"Ready ?" Chris asks holding your hand

You smile and nod

Chris rings the bell

Oh shit here we go, there's no going back.

The wooden door opens
"Ohh hello Chris" Lisa hugs her son "and you must be Y/N !" She says hugging you even tighter then she hugged Chris.

"Hi it's very nice to meet you" you say as Lisa is still hugging you. You awkwardly tap your hand on her back

"Ma, let her breath" Chris says

"Oh sorry sweetie. Please come In" she says

"Thank you I brought a little something for you" You hand her a try of freshly made tiramisu that you made earlier with Chris- he wasn't a big help tho he just licked all the spoons clean.

"Oh thank you, it looks absolutely delicious" Lisa puts it in the kitchen
While you and Chris sit down in the living room.

Her house was more old and vintage, it felt very homie and cozy.
There were Bunch of pictures of the four siblings hanged on all the walls in the house.

Lisa joins you two in the living room
"Chris I would ask you about Italy but I'm more interested in getting to know Y/n " he admits

"I don't mind" Chris says

"Tell me Y/n how do you like Boston so far ?" Lisa asks

"It's nice, very different from the small village in Italy" you admit "so far so good, and Chris makes me feel very safe here" you smile

"That's nice, And what do you do for living ?" She asks

"Well I'm an artist" You say

"Ma, you should see her art it's beautiful" Chris adds in.

"Wow that's amazing I'd love to see some of your art" Lisa says
The conversation was great everything was going smooth.

"So where is the rest of the family ?" You ask, because right now it was only You, Chris and Lisa. You thought his sisters and there kids would also be here.

"Oh yeah they'll be here any minute" Lisa says exactly then the bell rings. "Perfect timing" Lisa gives you smile and walk toward the door.

You look at Chris nervously, now you were going to meet his sister

"Everything's fine right ?" Chris says

"Yes it's great" you quickly sneak a kiss on his lips before anyone could see.

His older sister Carly walks in first with her three kids.
The boys were screaming at first but when they saw you they got quite shy.
The two boys looked like they were 10 and 7 while the little girl, who was sleeping in her mom's arms looked like she was 5.
(I don't know there real age's but this is just what I feel like fits in the story)

"Oh look at you two just perfect together" Carly whispers because Stella was sleeping

"Thanks, how are you ?" Chris goes up to his older sister hugging her then he takes the little girl from her "I'll put her in bed" Chris says leaving you there with his family

You stood there awkwardly

But Carly was very nice and friendly "hey Y/n" she Hugs you tight.
Very huggable family
"You are even prettier in real life" she says "boys say hi to Y/n" Carly says

Ethan and miles walk up to you both very shy "hello" they say

"Hi" you awkwardly say. Somehow it was more stressful to talk to kids then adults.

Chris comes back

"Where's your other sister ?" You asks him

"Oh she's out of town, right now" Chris explains

"Dinners ready !" Lisa yells as everyone sits by the table.

You and Chris sit side by side.

"I've made some chicken, fish, lamb, pork and some vegetables" Lisa says "I really don't know what you like so a made everything" she says clearly exhausted.

"Wow you really didn't have to. All this looks and smells amazing" you say

You all eat- talk- laugh and just have a great time you really liked his family and it looked like they really liked you to.

After a long night you Chris get back home.

"The dinner went great" Chris says removing his shirt

"Yeah, your family is amazing" you say as you put your hair up in a bun and start removing your jewellery and lipstick.

Chris walks in the bathroom shirtless, he puts his clothes in the laundry basket "do you have any dirty clothes ?" He asks

"Yeah you can clean your clothes now I'll just do my laundry later" you say. This was all very new to you, you were so used to doing everything for yourself and for James, so it's wired how Chris offers to do this small things for you

"It's fine I can do are laundry" he says "just put what ever you need to clean in the basket"  he kisses you on the cheek then walks out the bathroom.
