Are you stress yet?

J: Soo actually..... Yeah What I wanted to say was.... Okay, I don't know how to ask you this, but ...

I was speechless.

Jackson finally asked me, "I was thinking, well we've been together for a while now... I was wondering well if you'll like to meet my parents..."

I was silent ......

**In my head. Wait, what just happened?**

I looked blankly at Jackson.

Jackson was concerned.

J: But I mean if you're ready and if you want to... I mean Ugh what Am I saying... It's too soon. I know it is. I'm sorry for even asking such a stupid question! Okay, now it's just awkward.... I'm sorry Baby. Just forget I even said anything ok?

I finally answered him, after realizing what he was asking.

Me: No no baby, It's fine. Like really, it's fine. I was just a little surprised. Lol. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it for you to take it like that. I would love to meet your parents.....I mean if you're ok with it? But like... When?

J: Okay, well that's good because for a moment there, I was worried. Lol You should have seen your face. Haha you gave me a scare.

Me: Sorry, but no no, I would love to meet them!

J: Okay, that's great cause... they were asking about you?

Me:....Oh reallyy? Like in a good way or bad way?

J: Well, haha here's the thing, so you remember after your graduation party and how we took those pictures. I thought it'd be nice to set that picture on my desk at home and of course my grandma being my grandma she comes into my room and sees it. So yeah she took it downstairs and showed my parents and for the past few weeks they've been asking and been bugging me to see well why I haven't told them about you yet. I mean I was going to, but you know with school and everything I just haven't been able to and well yeah they've been bugging me..

Me: haha, aww grandma seems very cute... It makes me miss my grandparents

**Side note : Ori's grandparents passed away when she was 3-7 years old, so she doesn't remember them much

Me: But baby, I'll love to meet them. I mean it, it'll be great! I can't wait to meet the ones who raised my wonderful boyfriend, (I reached and touched Jackson's face) who is wonderful inside and out.

Jackson smiled... But slowly pulled away.

Me: ?? What's wrong... Did you not wan....

Jackson cut me off.

J: They want to see you tonight.. like right now.... like after we're done here?

Me: WHAT? (I paused....staring blankly at Jackson...)

**Freaking out moment in my head!! A million thoughts runs to me! Ummm like okay, this is great, but now!? Like NOW NOW? NOW? I like to be prepared for things and this is unexpected... like F**K, do I look ok? How's my hair? Umm first impression matters? Are they going to think I'm weird? What if they ask questions? What do I say??? Is there still ice cream on my lips? Ahhh??**

Jackson smiled and said to me, "Are you stressed yet?"
