Chapter 7
Smiling lightly as he headed downstairs, Matt still remembered the date. He couldn't help but feel warm all over due to the events of that evening. He remembered the kiss, the look in Jess' eyes and that made him smile even wider.
Reaching the living room he found his family all seated watching TV. The first family member was his father, Isaac Taylor, aged forty-three, with short dark brown hair and eyes, apart from hair colour Matt had taken after his father greatly in appearance. This could be seen in the old photos on the walls, his father had been a school football star too.
Seated next to him was a woman of forty-two with long black hair, the same colour as Matt, hazel eyes and the same dark skin as the rest of the family, Matt's mother, Michelle Taylor.
The final figure in the room was twenty-two year old Johnathan Taylor, Matt's older brother. Johnathan took somewhat more after their mother compared to Matt. Looking up Johnathan was the first to spot Matt as he entered the living room.
"Hey Matt." He greeted with a grin.
Their parents looked up and both smiled too.
Matt sat down, also smiling. "Hey, so…what's up?"
Isaac replied. "Nothing much, just finished the news, things seem quiet today."
Matt nodded. "Right..."
"So, how was the date?" Johnathan asked suddenly.
Matt couldn't help but smile widely. "It was great, we had fun."
Johnathan grinned as Isaac replied. "Great..."
"It's good you and Jessica are having such a great relationship." Michelle remarked.
Matt nodded; he counted himself lucky. He knew some of his friends had family issues, he was privately glad however, that he did not have those issues himself.
Sitting at the table with the rest of her family for dinner, Jess smiled dreamily as she thought back to the date. The others seated around her were her parents and siblings, one older, one younger. Her parents were forty-two year old Noah Riley, a man with the same blonde hair and green eyes as Jess, albeit slightly paler than she was.
Meanwhile, Amy Riley, her mother, was forty-one, with long dark brown hair, charcoal eyes and the same bisque complexion as Jess. Then there were her siblings, twenty-two year old Serena Riley, she shared her mother and younger sister's bisque complexion but was taller than Jess with chin length hair, naturally the same blonde as Jess, but she dyed it black, and hazel eyes, being the odd one out in the family.
She was smart yet quiet, timid but nice, somewhat sensitive but family centric.
The final family member was fifteen year old Daniel Riley, around the same height as Jess, with the same slightly paler skin than the female family members that their father had. He also had dark brown close cropped hair and charcoal eyes. He was sporty and athletic, a leader with some slight arrogance, but he was still a good team work, despite his slight immaturity.
Noticing Jess' expression, Daniel smirked.
"Oh, have fun on your date Jess?" He queried. "You certainly had a memorable time going by your expression."
Jess blushed but grinned. "Watch it Daniel, and yeah, it was fun."
Serena laughed. "Glad to hear it, you guys sure make a cute couple."
Daniel smirked wider and made kissy faces. Jess rolled her eyes while Noah shook his head.
"Alright you two, stop teasing your sister." He said before softening. "I'm glad you had a good time Jess, you and Matthew seem to be getting along really well."
Amy nodded. "Yes...well, um, he does treat you right…?"
"Oh God mom, please...Of course he does." Jess replied.
Amy nodded again and Jess relaxed. She knew her mother meant well, she was just a little too protective at times. But still, despite everything, she knew her family loved her and she loved them, and she wouldn't change any of this for the world.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
