adelaide's point of view
today is the day. today is the day everyone meets colby. last night i forced my "family" out to santa monica pier so i didn't have to deal with them. a great decision on my part. but they came back around the same time i did. jack and josette were staying with me however jacks girlfriend, lana was not. weird.
i had just finished getting ready and josette and jack were still asleep in the guest room. i think lexi is awake too but i haven't gone to check yet.
i ended up walking over to madeline and mel's apartment to talk to them for a bit. i took a snapchat in the mirror in the kitchen, i was just gonna send it to colby to show him what i was wearing to brunch so he wasn't over or under dressed but it ended up being cute so i put it on my story.
an hour later
i finally told my "family" that they'd be meeting my boyfriend today. in all honesty, i wish my grandparents would've met him first but they're out of town right now. they're a lot more accepting
i know jo is going to freak out because she's a stan and jack won't care. lana hasn't said a word to me this whole time but i genuinely don't even want to talk to her. my mom is probably going to be a bitch about him and john will probably just agree with her.
i'm nervous right now but i also don't care about anyone else's opinions on him as mine is the only one who will affect our relationship.
i texted colby and told him we'd meet him at malibu farms in 25 minutes.
we've been in the car for 15 minutes already and josette has taken multiple digs at me for no reason. i just kinda shook them off knowing she won't expect colby to be there
"do you really have a boyfriend? he must be like a 2/10 if he's dating you." she
said. how does my mom not understand that she's just being straight up rude.
"he's actually insanely attractive, i'm sure you'd like him." i said glaring at her.
"i doubt it. i have higher standards." she said. i let it go this time, not worth getting yelled out for "sassing" jo.
we pulled up to the farms and i saw colby's red toyota corolla. by that i mean i saw his name on the back of his car. i assumed he already went in. i told them that i was going to go see if our table was ready before they came in.
i went and asked and they said yes so i called my mom and told them to join me. they came over and i noticed that colby wasn't sitting at our table yet. i was slightly glad as it would give us some time to get settled. i text colby and told him that we were there.
i soon saw him approaching the table i stood up to greet him as i heard josette gasp. i smiled to myself as i got up to hug him. he was holding a giant thing of white roses. my favorite.
he set them on the table as i introduced him to my family. "colby, this is my mom, katerina and this is my stepdad, john."
"nice to meet you." he said shaking johns hand and giving my mom a hug. they greeted him back.
"these are my step siblings, jo and jack and that's jacks girlfriend, lana." i said, jo was still star struck. she got up, hugging him, which made me insanely uncomfortable.
"oh my gosh. no. you're dating adelaide?" she asked him, releasing him from the hug.
he brushed her off, shaking hands with jack who was being pleasant this trip for some reason. lana also got up and hugged him which was also awkward but i guess everyone has a crush on him.
"these are for you, angel." he said grinning at me while handing them to me. i smiled and thanked him. i could tell josette was still mad that he wasnt paying any attention to her but i was beyond happy.
colby sat next to me, josette acrossed from him and jack on my other side. my mom was across from me in between jo and john.
we all just ordered our drinks, colby and jack are getting along pretty well. josette is trying to get all of colby's attention on her. colby isn't paying much attention to her but he also isn't being rude. john seemingly likes him but my mom doesn't pay him much mind. shocking.
colby and i have been holding hands the whole time, him kissing my cheek every chance he could get, josette would tense up at any sense of affection colby would give me.
we all had brunch and small talk before heading back to our cars.
"okay mom, i'm going to drive to the grove with colby, you can take my car." i said telling my mom the plan.
"okay i'll meet you there." she said hugging me and colby.
colby opened my car door and allowed me to sit down before shutting it
"thank you" i said grinning at him as he got into his side of the car.
"for what" he said smiling back at me.
"for ignoring jo and for being kind to everyone. i don't think you realize how much i appreciate how you made everything turn out today."
"baby, knowing that jo treats you like that is enough for me to not even want to converse with her. she's clearly so jealous of you and that's why she acts that way. i mean, cmon, you have 2 insanely successful youtube channels, you're living on your own, in your freshman year of college, studying what you love, and being around the people you love. not to add that you're insanely beautiful and kind-hearted. she knows that she will never be anything like you and that's why she treats you the way she does. you're so perfect and everyone can see it. everywhere we go, girls stare at you, in jealousy of how stunning you are and boys watch your every move because you're just that beautiful. not to mention that you dont even have it in you to hate someone. you may say you hate jo but you and i both know that she just gets on your nerves. don't let her put you down about anything, you're 10x better than she will ever be addi. you have a bigger heart than anyone i've ever met."
"colbs, thank you so much for that. that changes my whole perspective on jo. she's still living at home, piggybacking off of my moms money. i'm out in LA living my best life with my insanely anazing boyfriend and my best friends. doing what i've always dreamed of." i said back to him, smiling as we pulled into the parking lot of the grove.
colby and i continued to talk until we pulled into a parking spot.
we met back up with my family in nordstrom.
"oh my gosh i'm obsessed with this bag. it's so pretty" i said picking up this red velvet gucci bag.
jo, colby and i were all walking through nordstrom together, colby holding my hand.
"that's cute baby, you should get it. " colby said to me, admiring the bag while wrapping his arm around my lower back, pulling me closer to him.
"i really want it but i can't justify buying another designer bag." i said sighing as i set the beautiful purse back down.
we walked into the sun glass section when colby told us that he needed to pee. i continued to look through the sunglasses, none of them catching my eye. soon i saw colby approaching me again. he had a nordstrom bag in his hand.
"oh my gosh did you buy those gucci slides you were looking at?" i asked him.
"yeah i did, i got you something little too." he said grinning
i opened the bag, seeing the red gucci purse i had just been looking at.
"colby this isn't little, you need to return this." i said putting the bag back in the dust cover.
"no baby i bought it for you." he said grinning at he set his vlog camera down on the bench next to me.
"are you sure colby? this is just too much." i said still smiling at the purse.
"it's okay baby, really." he said ask he hugged me
i saw josette looking VERY jealous out the corner of my eye... shocking.
we continued around the mall. colby saw this super cool pair of sneakers but they didn't have his size so i secretively ordered them online for him since he's gotten me so much stuff.
after a couple of hours, we all met back up at the mall and decided to leave. lexi has been taking care of my dogs today so i wasn't worried about them.
"alright i'm going back to colby's house for a bit." i said smiling at them while handing my mom the key to my g wagon. the g wagon was courtesy of my grandparents as a graduation gift. did i mention in the favorite grandchild?
we separated and went to the separate cars. colby's birthday is in 2 months and i plan on getting him a new car because he's had his for quite some time.
colby and i ended up getting pressed freezery and heading back to the trap house.
