Blake and I get out the taxi, he's holding his suitcase tightly trying to calm himself down. His heart is racing because he's meeting my family for the first time and he wants to make a good impression.

"Why am I nervous?" He says force laughing as the wind hits his face causing his hair to block his view

"You shouldn't be my family will treat you like their own" I reply stroking his upper arm to calm his nerves

"Shall we go?" I laugh as we've been standing here for like 5 minutes in the freezing cold, the goosebumps forming on my arms as I cuddle into my coat

"Oh shit yeah" he laughs following me as I walk up to my front door and opening it to reveal nobody there

"Hello?" I say closing the door behind us, he puts his suitcase in the hallway as he slowly follows me around

"Is anybody homeeee!" I shout and hear a loud bang, next thing I see is my brothers daughter Pandora running down the stairs wearing a knitted costume with ears on and a huge smile across her face

"LILLLLIIII" she screams excitedly jumping off the last step and runs towards me, I kneel down and pick her up

"Hey baby girl" I say squeezing her tight as she wraps her arms around my shoulders

"So this is Blake, say hello to Blake" I reply and she puts her hand up and waves to him "hewwo Blake"

"Hello darling" he says and she gives him a cheesy smile and leans into my shoulder to hide her shyness, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I see my mum walking down

I put Pandora on the floor and go and run up to my mum and give him a big hug, I'm not going to lie I do miss her whilst I'm at uni.

"Hey mumma this is Blake" I say introducing my family to Blake...fuck he's only met my mum and my niece yet he still has to meet many other people. He still needs to meet my brother, my brothers fiancé and my dad.

"It's lovely to meet you hun" she smiles and which he returns "it's lovely to meet you too"

It's currently 7:30pm, we've been talking to my mum for an hour and a half about what it's like living together and how uni is.

"Okay were going to my room because we're so tired from travelling all day but I'll be down in about an hour" I smile and she nods. It may seem rude but I already told her I'm just going to get Blake to settle upstairs before throwing everything at him because having small talk with your friends mum isn't fun at all, Blake carries both of our suitcases and follows behind me to my bedroom

"Come down if you want food, It needs to be eaten because we'll be away for a few days and we don't want it all to go to waste" my mum says kindly I shout an 'okay'

I open my bedroom door revealing my grey and white bedroom, I run and flop onto my king size bed...damn I've missed it here.

I hum into my pillow, I could literally fall asleep right now.

"You cosy there?" Blake asks laying on the side next to me, I nod in response and he lightly laughs leaning back on the pillow

After lying in bed with Blake for a few hours I go downstairs to go and talk to my mum since I literally came home and took a nap then woke up to Blake watching 'the dirt'

"Hey mum" I sit on the kitchen counter and watch her make some dinner for us, the smell of the baking lasagna fills my nostrils causing my stomach to rumble

"Hey gorgeous I've missed you being at uni, I just need my baby back" she pouts, she's always treated me like a baby because I'm the youngest, everyone in my family calls me 'bubba'

"I'm back now and we're going to be in Bali together though, I still can't believe Jake is getting married" I laugh at the thought, I don't even know how someone has fallen in love with him he's such a idiot.

"So how have you been doing? I mean like the whole Dylan thing" she asks, she already knows most of how I feel because I called her and cried to her for 4 hours the other day

"I'm doing better I guess, but Blake has been there for me and he's probably the main reason I haven't had a mental breakdown yet" I chuckle thinking about him and how much he's done for me, he's genuinely one of the kindest souls ever. He can tell when I'm sad so he always gives me the best cuddles which make me feel safe and listens to me rant about stupid problems, he's literally the reason why I'm alive.

"Speaking of Blake are you guys like you know..."

"No no of course not we're just friends" I wave my hands as leans on the counter with the kitchen towel tucked into her pocket

"If you did date him I would approve he seems like a nice lad" my mum smirks, this happens every time I have a boy around. She assumes we're dating or have a crush on each other but girls and boys can we friends without wanting to be in a relationship.

"Well we're not...wheres panda?" I jump off he counter and start to walk around the kitchen trying to get myself out of the uncomfortable situation

"I think she went upstairs"

"Oh okay shout me when foods ready" I reply running up the stairs and checking my brothers room but she's not there. I hear shushing sounds and laughter from my bedroom I turn on my heel and walk towards my bedroom

I see a giant lump under my blanket, I tip toe over knowing it's Panda since I can hear he laughing and shushing whoever is under there with her

"I wonder what could be under this blanket?" I say as I pull the blanket up revealing Blake and Panda both laughing, Panda squeals and snuggles into Blake, I guess she really likes him.

"Ah you found us" Blake says in his baby voice, my heart melts at the sight of him playing with my niece.

"I did I found you guys" I laugh and Panda stands up and grabs my hand pulling my on top of the bed, I climb over blake and go and sit on my side

•••

After eating our dinner we decide to go back to my room to lie down since we're in food comas, the dinner wasn't awkward considering when Dylan first met my parents it was deathly awkward I even contemplated to jump out of the window

My dad and my brother are currently out getting his dads suit altered since the wedding is in a few days and it wouldn't look good my dad wearing a baggy ass suit

"I think I'm sweating lasagna" Blake mumbles putting his arms over his eyes, my tv lighting up my bedroom which is still too bright for us to handle.

I have become one with the lasagna" I mumble rubbing my stomach to try and ease the pain

"What?" his voice filling the room leaving tingles running through my body...what is this feeling? I guess it's just my body trying to digest the food.

"Yes Blake I am now lasagna you may address me as miss lasagna" I blurt out, when I'm tired and in a food coma I just say the most random shit
