A/N: ok sorry for not updating sooner. But here's the next chapter and for everyone who review it's a long one. Thank you for reviewing by the way. Enjoy!
Over 19 hours stuck in a car driving down to Florida was one of the worst moments of my life. We pull into my grandparent's house, which is where we will be staying.
"This, is a house?" Kurt asks.
"Yeah," I answer.
"It's huge. When you said big I didn't think it was this big, it's like a mansion." he says.
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you my family down here is kind of rich." I chuckle nervously.
"I can tell. So who all lives here?" he asks. As we are still driving down the longest driveway ever.
"Well, normally it's just my grandparents but during this time of year all my mom's family member come to stay. You will see when we get inside." I tell him as my dad parks the car and gets out to grab the bags. We each climb out and grab our own.
"Now, remember you're my-"
"Cedes, I got this baby." he says smirking at me as we walk up to knock on the door. I smile back as the door flings open after a few seconds.
"Oh it's so good to see you all, oh come in, come in." my Aunt says greeting us.
"So how is everyone and who is this fine man here?" she asks eyeing me. I blush under her gaze and just look at Kurt.
"Name's Kurt," he greets her.
"Is there a reason you're here Kurt?" she asks looking between me and Kurt.
"Becky, stop interrogating the kids would you and help me with these bags." my mom interrupts.
"That's my mom's younger sister she's only like 25." I whisper to Kurt.
"Fine but you're explaining everything when I get back." she says grabbing a few bags and carrying them upstairs
I walk Kurt into the kitchen where most of the commotion is. He looks around at all the women making food with wide eyes.
"The men are in there." I tell him pointing to a two double doors. That lead to the living room.
"Ok, but what are you going to do?" he asks getting close to me.
"I have to stay in here and help cook it's like a tradition the women cook and the men talk about sports or they go in the back to play sports." I tell him smiling at him.
"Come on son, let's get you with the men. The kitchen is a women's place." my dad says clamped his hand down on Kurt's shoulder. My dad smiles at me and Kurt just looks at him shocked.
"I'll take care of him for you." my dad says.
"I'll see you when dinners ready." I tell him.
"Ok." what he did next shocked me. He leaned down and captured my lips in a kiss. I returned it like we practiced and then he pulled away. We smile at each other.
"Go," I tell him.
"Alright you to enough I had to watch that the whole car ride, you can take a break form each other for a little bit." my dad says pulling Kurt away from me. He smiles as he gets dragged away. I shake my head laughing and when I turn around I'm met with a almost 16 pairs of eyes on me.
"What?" I ask walking over to the counter that I normally stand at."
"Nothing, nothing at all, just shocked that you have a boyfriend is all." says my nasty cousin Shannon with as much tone as she could.
"Why are you shocked, because I'm not a skinny thing like you?" I say back just as nasty as she was to me. She doesn't say anything she just scoffs and returns to her duties.
"Alright ladies enough. Mercedes, you just got here we don't need you starting trouble already." my Aunt Destiny says. Aunt Destiny is Shannon's mom so she's just as nasty. Shannon also has a brother named Nicolai. Aunt Destiny is married to my mom's brother who is my Uncle Luis.
"Listen Destiny, I'm sure Mercedes didn't mean any harm, so let's just forget whatever it was about and move on." my mom says walking in.
"Well hello Vivian. Nice to see you to" she says nastily. My mom just ignores her and walks over to stand by me.
"Don't worry about her. I know you don't really like my family that much but please try to be nice. I know it's hard cause I know Those two give you so much trouble. But that's why you have me and Kurt." she whispers to me as she starts to make food.
"When she mentions Kurt I look out the window with a view of the back hard where all my cousins and some of my younger uncles are playing football. I smile when I see my father walk out greeting all the guys and then he introduces Kurt. It looks like he's accepted right away and they re pick and thank fully he wasn't the last one picked. They begin to play and he's doing a good job of not caring weather or not if his clothes get dirty. I wince when I see my biggest cousin Rick who actually plays football tackle Kurt to the ground as hard as he can. It looks like Kurt is having trouble getting up at first but then he sits up. He has few dirt smudges on his face and clothes. He looks down and then up at the guys. They help him up and by the look on his face he is going to freak out, but then he just shrugs and starts to laugh.
"You should go out there with them I'll take your spot for a few minutes." my Aunt Becky come in and whispers in my ear as she watches out the window as well.
"Thanks." I whisper back. I walk out of the kitchen and to the back door. I walk out the back door and sit down on the porch steps and watch the game. Kurt's holding his own pretty well. The other guys are slapping him on the back when he does something right. He looks over to me after he gets up from getting tackled again and smiles. I smile and wave. He hands the football to one of the guys and runs over to me. I stand up and walk out into the yard a little bit.
"You're all dirty," I point out once he is standing in front of me.
"Yeah, I know I want to take a shower but if I complain then they will catch on and we don't want that do we." he says winking at me.
"No we don't, but I'll have you know they are all looking at us right now and some of them are smiling." I tell him looking behind him. He turns around to look and they nod there heads at him. Just smiles.
"Yo, Kurt hurry up man!" my cousin Dominic yells.
"I'm coming just give me a minute!" he yells back. He turns back to me.
"Ok I better get back over there, but can I possibly take a shower later after all this, because I can't stand being dirty for to long." he says rubbing his face.
"Yeah, you can there is a shower in every room." I tell him rubbing his face as well.
"Ok, so I'll see you later." he says leaning down to kiss me.
"Ok" I says smiling as we pull away. I turn around to walk back in the house, but I look back just in time to see my family slap him on the back congratulating him. I walk back in the house and into the kitchen over to my Aunt Becky to take back my spot.
"So what are we making this year?" I ask working beside her.
"Same thing as always. And I saw that move out there, you go girl. He's cute. Where'd you pick him up?" she asks nudging me with her elbow.
"He's my best friend from school, and we hang out together everyday all day and things just happened-"
"What about Sean? What happened with him, weren't you and he-"
"Yes, but things didn't work and Kurt was there when I needed him." I tell her.
"Oh, ok. Well at least you're happy. You are happy right?" she asks.
"Yeah, I'm very happy with him. And I think you'lllike him as well too." I tell her finishing cutting up the carrots.
"Oh, we went over room arrangements while you were outside. So all the couples are sharing rooms. And Kurt is with you." she tell me.
"How do they know about Kurt-"
"They all saw the show outside." she tells me.
"Oh," I look down blushing.
"Yeah, so your secrets out. Sorry." she says. Hear the doors open and all the older men walk in. my dad walks up and takes a carrot from over my shoulder.
"Hey! Those aren't for you." I complain.
"Yeah, they are and your boy seems to fit in quite nicely." he says into my ear. We then hear the chatter of all the younger boys fill the house. I can hear Kurt's voice over all the others and then they begin laughing. I guess he does play a good straight guy. I chuckle to my self before I feel arms wrap around my waist. I turn around in shock to find Kurt smiling down at me.
"Whoa, calm down baby. It's only me." he says laughing.
"You're not supposed to be in here I told you that." I tell him turning back around to place my knife down.
"Yeah, I know I just wanted to know where am I sleeping?" he asks.
"You are sharing a room with me. It's on the second floor and 4th door on your right. The number is 14. Ok." I tell him pushing him away from me and out of the kitchen.
"Ok," he says walking out of the kitchen.
"Sorry about that," I apologize as I return to cooking.
"How did you get a guy like him?" Shannon asks.
"It's none of your business, and he's my boyfriend so please try to contain your hormones." I snap back. Shannon is always trying to steal the others boyfriends. She's basically the slut of the family and her mom encourages her. Everyone knows that her and I hate one another so they try to keep us apart as much as possible.
"Mercedes, watch yourself." my mother tells me giving me a stern look, my Aunt Becky is trying not to laugh. While the rest are mad at me for saying that to Shannon. You see my family kind of hates my guts because I don't take crap from any of them and plus I'm not a size 2 like most of them. I normally hang out with the guys because I fit in better with them. My Aunt Becky is the only one of the girl I like. She doesn't care what I look like and she finds my bluntness really funny. Her and I talk all the time she knows most of the stuff about my life. I'm just glad I didn't tell her anything about Kurt or else my plan never would have worked.
"Sorry, mom." I tell her.
"Go clean yourself up alright Hun, I'll take care of things for you." my Mother tells me. I nod my head and walk out of the kitchen. I walk up the stairs and find my room. Kurt is just getting out of the shower so he has pant's on but no shirt. I stop in the door way and just stare at him.
"Everything ok?" he asks rubbing his head with the towel.
"Yeah, everything's fine just a little confrontation with the family is all." I tell him sitting down on the giant queen sized bed.
"Already?" he asks sitting down next to me.
"Yeah, already. My Mother told me to come up here to cool down.
"Ok, well you're up here you want to do something to take your mind off stuff?" he asks.
"Like what?" I respond.
"Well, what do girlfriends and boyfriends do when they are together?" he says leaning closer.
"Kurt! Are you suggesting we-" in the next second his lips are on mine and he's pushing me down on the bed and I can feel him smile on my lips. And I know this has to be a dream but it feel to real.
