"Hey." I whispered as Lloyd came in.
"Hi." He said. I was putting in an earring.
It was Thanksgiving. And I was bringing my boyfriend to my family dinner. And I was shitting my pants just thinking about it.
He moved to peck my lips. I smiled, wiping off the lipgloss from his mustache.
"Careful now."
"Mhm. You look lovely."
I sighed. "I feel like shit." I whispered. I went to grab my perfume, spritzing some on.
Not only did I not want to show up to this dinner, but I had a cold. I just wanted to lay in bed.
I had a sweater and some nicer jeans on. I really didn't care about dressing up.
"Okay. You ready?" I asked.
"Mhm."
I think I was high off of DayQuil. If that could even happen.
I got Lassies leash on. We were staying the night. Unless something went wrong. But they lived an hour away.
Lloyd moved to grab my hand as we walked out. I gave him a little smile.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"No. I have that cold still."
"I'm sorry." He whispered. He was sick the week before.
I was so nervous for this. My parents knew I was dating someone. They just didn't know who. And even if sometimes I didn't wanna talk to them, I always wanted to please them.
"Hey. Let me drive. You don't seem too good."
"I'm fine." I said.
"And I'm driving."
"You know Lassie will be in the back."
"Sounds good."
I smiled, squeezing his hand a bit. He kissed my head.
"I know you're nervous. But I promise you, I'm on my best behavior. I'm sober. One hundred percent."
"Thank you. I'm not."
"What?"
"You may have left your vape here. And I took a couple hits and now I'm very buzzed."
"Hoping you've had nicotine before."
"I went to college once Lloyd." I said as I put lassie in the back.
"Okay. Well, if you need it."
"Strawberry is a good flavor." I mumbled as I got in.
"Oh!" He said as he followed in. "Good to know."
I turned up the heat a bit. It was getting very cold here.
"Hey. This is gonna go well. And I cannot wait to see your childhood bedroom."
"I hate you."
"I know."

Lloyd and I walked up to the house. My parents ended up being good with their money my whole life. So they had a nice house. Not mansion house like Lloyd, but a nice enough house to give me and my siblings a room to ourselves, without it being crowded.
"Nice place." He said.
"Mhm."
"Hey. We're gonna be fine."
He had the dog and our bags. He was so good.
I walked in with him. The house was bustling already.
I heard little footsteps. Jack and Max came running in, their little cousin Marley following.
