Wrong Place, Right time.

XXXXI

At least I'm not lying. I'm totally nervous about meeting his family. Our flight leaves tomorrow night.

His Dad is picking us up, and I'm okay with that since I've talked to his Dad over the phone before, but I'm still incredibly nervous to actually meet him in person.

With that being said, I'm even more nervous to meet the rest of the family. From what I understand, his family is very close with him.

He snaps me out of my thoughts with his calming but deep voice.

"For?" He asks.

"What do you think?"

He smiles and just shakes his head. "You have nothing to be nervous about."

"Nothing? What if your family hates me? What if I'm not what they expect? What if-" But I'm cut off as he quickly leans over and kisses me to shut me up.

I just groan into the kiss and he pulls back with a smile on his face.

"That's so not fair." I complain.

He smiles before his hand gently cups the side of my face.

He looks into my eyes and just whispers "You have nothing to be worried about." He assures me.

I frown gently as I look into his mesmerizing eyes.

Fuck. This is so not fair.

He knows exactly how to get me to forget everything and anything I'm worried about when I'm around him.

I just hum in agreement as I nod softly. He carefully leads my lips up towards his again as he slowly takes my lower lip between his lips.

He kisses me lovingly and softly, as if to tell me not to worry about anything. But I can't help it.

I've packed and unpacked multiple times and put way too much thought into meeting his family.

Even kissing him now, I'm distracted by my own fear. I've never been this worried about a first impression.

Maybe it's because of how we met, maybe it's because of the circumstances of his job that makes me extra nervous... or maybe it's because this is an impression I truly want to go well.

Maybe it's because I see more than just a future with Blake.

When his lips leave mine, the worry and doubts of before come rushing back.

Am I just going to be that girl they meet one time and never see again? Just that girl Blake brought back for Christmas once before they had to be forced never to see each other again?

I push the thoughts out of my head and lean my head against Blake's shoulder.

He just laughs at me and I can't help but smile as well. He can tell how stressed I am about everything, weather or not he knows the real reason behind it, he knows at the very least I'm stressed.

"You need to live in the moment right now, forget about the trip for now, okay?" He asks,

I nod and groan into his shoulder.

He just laughs and gently ushers my chin up with his thumb and index finger so I'm looking into his eyes.

"Look at me." He says softly. "You're here with me right now. We are in a drive in, watching Elf, a classic Christmas movie, and we are having a great time." He says.

I giggle and can't help but smile.

Once my eyes are locked on his, it's hard to think about anything else but him.

He's right. I need to stop worrying and just enjoy the fact that I'm with him right now.

I nod and take in a deep breath. "You're right. I'm sure I'll make a decent impression at worst." I say with a smile.

He just shakes his head "You're so weird." He jokes before kissing me again, this time the kiss is more passionate, making my skin tingle.

Damn, he really knows how to take a girl's mind off of things.

My hand instinctively goes to the side of his face as his arm snakes around my waist. He pulls me closer to him and I hum in satisfaction.

The kiss is amazing and I'm totally in my own little world with him up until my favorite quote comes through the speakers.

At the same time, we both pull away, look each other dead in the eye as we yell "Santa!! I know him!"

We both bust out in uncontrollable laughter as we do so. We laugh so hard tears come out of both of our eyes as we continue to laugh.

Of course we would both love that quote.

He just looks at me with a smile after we have caught our breath from laughing and sighs "What did I do to deserve you?" He asks.

I just smile and wipe away the tears of laughter "I ask myself the same thing."

He smiles and I gesture toward the movie "Maybe we should watch for once." I tease.

He smiles "Sounds like a plan." He says. "Or we can keep making out until the beef and cheese quote comes up." He jokes.

I laugh. "I would totally say that one too, regardless of what's happening around me." I tell him.

"Don't worry, I would too." He says.

I just smile as he turns his attention back to the movie. He grabs my hand once more and I lean against his shoulder until the movie is over.

There's one more movie left in the Christmas movie marathon, but we both decide to head back home.

It was a great date, and I'm always down for a unique adventure.

Then again, anything with Blake is a unique adventure.
