"We're having dinner with my parents tonight," I say into the phone, tugging at my short hair, "remember?"

"Don't worry, Ven," Grant laughs, "I've met them before."

"I know," I sight, "but we weren't even dating then."

"We sure acted like it," he reassures, "Your mom loves me, and your dad is chill."

"Fine. Just don't forget to--"

"--dress decently. I know, sweetheart, we've been over this."

"You're the best boyfriend ever."

"Man, one month of dating really changes your opinion about me."

"Shut up, Grant. I was trying to be nice."

"Babe, I appreciate it," he softly says, "I'll see you tonight, okay?"

Grant laughs at a story my mom is telling about me when I was younger. I bury my head onto my boyfriend's shoulder several times, but it doesn't help that he's enjoying my torture.

He leans into me once my mom finishes, "You sounded adorable as a kid, m'lady, I wonder what happened."

"You're a jerk," I grumble, pushing him away, "but you're lucky you're cute."

"Handsome, in fact," Grant smirks.

I can't deny that statement. He cleaned up very nice for dinner, wearing a fitted button down with a black tie. He looks ravishing, even with a simple outfit.

"So, Grant," my dad addresses, "What do you plan on doing with your life?"

We still have senior year to go, but my dad appreciates people who have somewhat of an idea of their future. It reassures him.

"I want to be an architect." Like Annabeth Chase. I guess I'm Grant's Percy Jackson.

After a few more trivial questions, my parents finally let loose and joke around with the two of us. This August night turns out amazing, in my opinion.
