Claire was the first to recover. In three quick strides she sat down on the bed beside me and said in a really loud stage whisper, "Is that the Grit you were talking about? Wow! He is so cute." Did she have to be so obvious?

"Mike, Claire, Tasha, Douglas," my mom said, "Please leave the room now." Uh oh mom's mouth was set in a grim line. Damn, did my life have to suck so bad?

All of them made their way out sheepishly, keeping their eyes on the floor. Only Tasha had looked at me and gave me an encouraging smile before she left the room. My brother sure has good taste.

Just as my mom was about to open her mouth and say something, I beat her to it. I blurted out the explanation I had been rehearsing in my head ever since they came into the room.

"Look mom, dad, I know this looks bad but let me explain. I couldn't tell you about us cause he didn't…I was afraid you would object to us and all…He doesn't even REALLY want us together cause he is kinda on probation, but I, wait, listen! But I love him and he loves me and I SWEAR we haven't really done anything yet." I practically rapped this out in a single breath and was about to on when thankfully, Rob took over.

"Mr. and Mrs. Mastriani, I m on probation for a stupid thing I did before and I assure you I will never do anything so foolish again. But please, I have tried in vain to stay away from your daughter. If you could let me see her on a daily basis it would be my heaven on earth. And I swear I will never do anything to her against her will." God, I love him.

The thin line set on my moms mouth curled upwards and all prejudice against Grits forgotten, said, "All right, I admit defeat."

I heaved a sigh of relief; the biggest hurdle had been leapt, what about my dad?

"Son," he said." If you are going to date my daughter I think you might need this." He said as he took out his wallet and unzipped it. Curious, I leaned forward as he took out a OH MY GOD.

"Dad!!! What the hell do you have that for???"

After dropping the condom in Rob's outstretched hands, he said, "Why shouldn't I?"

Apparently, the shock of the condom had rendered Rob speechless, so I said, "Erm, and dad? Thanks, I don't think we will be needing it, but just in case, we'll keep it." I wanted to keep it just in case.

"I guess we'll be going to the restaurant without you then, well, have fun you two!" My dad said with a wink before heading out the door with my mom. I could totally tell Claire wanted see me, but me parents stopped her. Once we heard their footsteps fade away, Rob turn to me and asked why I had told them.

In reply to this, I stuck my tongue in his mouth and we slowly leaned back against his pillows.

That was how Mrs., Wilkins, her brothers and Just-Call-Me-Gary found us five minutes later. Embarrassed, we sat up right again and broke apart.

"Hey Rob! Looks like I ain't the only one gittin' hitched the year eh?" teased one of his freaking uncles, who I assumed must have been the one getting married, Randy. Following this remark, all those damned adults started making stupid jokes about us.

"Look Jess," Rob whispered into my ear. "I am all right now okay? So I want you to get out of here. I'll pick you up the day after next and 7pm, 'kay?"

"But -" I began, only to be cut off by him.

"Uh uh, Mastriani, out NOW!"

"Fine, but seeing as we are like officially dating now… do you have to call me by my last name?"

"I like it!" Rob said after he gave me a quick kiss. "Now get going!"
