I spent the rest of the day with the girls. Each of us had spent so much time with Toby, Niall and Phil that we really hadn't seen each other. So today we went to shop and tonight I would stay at Toby's ready to meet his parents.
"So, let me get this straight." Allie started. "You've been seeing this guy for a week and you both decided that you were in it until we went home and now you're meeting his parents?"
"He nearly cried, Allie. What was I going to do?"
"Well, if I were you I would never be able to let go after this week." She said.
"Yeah, Naomi. Isn't this becoming a little complicated?" Eleanor said.
"I want this. We want this. It's not going to work if we keep it any longer than this week. So we're making the most of it."
As much as it hurt me to say, it was going to be hard to say goodbye. It was getting harder every day to imagine leaving. Especially since most "relationships" don't take this step for a long time.
But I dressed conservatively and Toby picked me up that night. I was so nervous about meeting them, even though I would be meeting them once. When we arrived at the house, his parents were already inside. Gryphon greeted us at the door and ran back to the living room where his parents sat on the lounge. I took a seat on the opposite one with Toby. I crossed my legs and tried to pull my skirt lower down my legs.
"Mum, dad. This is Naomi." He said. I greeted them both with a smile.
"She's lovely!" His mum said.
We carried on with small talk until Toby decided I should go and help him in the kitchen with dinner.
"How are you feeling?" He said, giving me a pat on the back.
"Not too bad. I haven't met a boyfriend's parents before."
Toby looked at me. I looked at him. I can't believe what I said.
"Boyfriend, huh?" He said, going back to making the hamburger patties.
"No, I… uh… didn't mean it like that."
"It's fine" He slightly turned to face me. "They think you're my girlfriend anyway."
"Really?"
He nodded.
"What will happen when I leave?"
"Who knows… I'll tell them it didn't work out."
He gave me a small kiss on the cheek before placing the patties in the fridge and walking back to the lounge room.
After dinner and a few drinks, Toby's parents went to bed, leaving us to clean up. We washed the dishes together and went to bed ourselves. Since his parents thought I was his girlfriend, there was no need to sleep on the lounge. He held me as I drifted off to sleep.
In the morning, I woke up alone. Toby was in the lounge room playing games so I made myself a coffee and watched for a while. When he was finished, he went to wake up his parents and we were going to have breakfast. This was my second last day in LA. We were leaving tomorrow night. So when Toby's parents left around lunch time, we were going to make the most of our time together.
Toby went to drop his parents off and I stayed at his. When he returned, he said he had amazing plans for tonight. We each got ourselves ready for our night out.
I stepped into the lounge room from the bathroom. I'd just finished my hair and make-up and put my dress and shoes on. My dress was baby blue. It was strapless, like a majority of my dresses and came in just around the bust. It dangled over my hips and fell halfway down my thighs. I had silver heels and clutched my tiny silver handbag with both hands.
"You look amazing." Toby said, getting off the lounge.
"I could say the same to you, Mr. Turner!" He did a little twirl and bowed.
He did look amazing. He had dress pants on and a black button up shirt. He looked very smart. Though he still wore heelys.
"Ma'am." He said, gesturing towards the front door.
