You're the one that I want ch2 – Introductions
The next morning I woke up before my parents; I was nervous, I have never had a boyfriend or even invited a boy back to my house, I know it's silly but I can't help but wonder if this is all too good to be true. I stayed in bed for a while and read my book. I was reading for about half an hour when my parents got up. I looked at them "Good morning, did you sleep well?" my father nodded "Yes, thank you dear" I smiled "Are you ready for today daddy?" he nodded "Yes, I cannot wait to meet this boy" my mother looked at me "Are you ready for today dear?" I shook my head, my mother sat up and came to sit beside me "You have nothing to worry about, I was nervous to bring your father home for the first time too".
I hugged my mother "How did my grandfather take it?" my mother laughed "Your grandfather looked at your father, and your father nearly fainted" I giggled "So daddy was afraid to meet your father?" my mother nodded. My father laughed too "Well what can I say? The man scared me" we all laughed and got ready for breakfast. I kept watching the clock after breakfast was over. I kept my eye on the time, I looked at it and it was twenty minutes to one. I had twenty minutes until Danny showed up. I looked at my mother, she smiled softly at me "Don't panic dear, everything will be fine" I nodded. I decided to pack my bag for the beach as I thought that would help me relax. I checked the clock again Danny would be here any minute now. We made our way out of our room and down to the lobby. We all sat down at the small table in the hotel lobby, I had my back to the entrance of the hotel, and my parents were sitting facing it.
I was lost in my own world until I heard my father clear his throat; I looked up, my mother inclined her head slightly to the side, I looked around and Danny was making his way towards our table. I blushed slightly and my father chuckled under his breath. I stood up and fixed my dress; Danny smiled and hugged me, I hugged him back and then I turned around to my parents "Mother, Father this is Danny" my parents looked at him, my father stood up "Nice to meet you, have a seat son" I took a breath to relax, I looked at my mother who smiled at me, Danny sat down and then it began. My father took a breath "Tell me something about yourself son"
I looked at Danny and nodded, he replied "Well sir this not much to tell, I've lived here all my life, my father runs a garage and my mother is a housewife" my father nodded "Well that is very interesting, so what are your plans for after you graduate?" I looked at my mother and she nodded at me, Danny continued "I have a few options sir, I will probably help my father for a while and then I will probably find a good job" my father nodded again. I looked at my father who smiled at me "One last question son, what are your intentions with my daughter?" my eyes went wide with fear, but I decided to keep quiet I looked at Danny who then looked at my father "Sir, I like your daughter very much she is a very sweet girl, and I would do nothing to hurt her" my father nodded "Well you two have my permission to spend the rest our time here together". I smiled at my father "Thank you daddy" he nodded "Off you go, have a great time" my mother whispered something into my ear before we left, I nodded.
I met Danny at the reception desk and we made our way to the beach. We talked for a while; I looked at Danny "I have to admit I was nervous" he looked at me "Why?" I shook my head, not wanting to explain the fact that I had never had a boy come to meet my parents or that I had never had a boyfriend before. He nodded understanding I didn't want to talk about it. The days came and went until it was time for me to leave. We said our goodbyes and he walked me back to the hotel so I could pack my bags. I kissed him on the cheek "I am going to miss you Danny" he nodded "I'll miss you too" I went inside and made my way to my hotel room. When I got there my parents told me they had some news, my father explained "Sandy dear, we are going to be staying here permanently, I got offered a job to work here, isn't that good news" I nodded not knowing what to say I would miss Australia. I guess I better say something "Where are we going to live?" my mother spoke up "We bought a house this afternoon once your father found out, and our new neighbours have a daughter who is your age, and their daughter offered to walk with you to school tomorrow morning" I nodded getting excited. This means that I might see Danny again someday. How wonderful I looked at my parents "Let's go move into our new house"
