58. Dinner Joe paced around the bedroom that Lauren and he shared. It was the night that the two were going out to dinner with her parents. This was the first time Joe would be meeting them. Even though Lauren told him to relax, he still was panicking. He had to make a good impression or his relationship could potentially be ruined. He looked at himself in the mirror and made sure to fix his suit so he did not look sloppy. He then heard footsteps from behind him, and turned around to see what was causing the noise. It was Lauren in a pretty strapless purple dress that ended just above her knee. Her hair was up in a neat bun and she had glittery eye makeup on.
"Wow you look gorgeous." Joe told her before stepping closer and giving her a kiss.
"You don't look too bad yourself." She smirked and gave him another kiss. "However much I would love to stay and make out with you, we should get going or we will be late."
The whole way there, Joe continued to freak out and tried to make up excuses so he could leave, but Lauren knew him too well and told him that he was nuts and he just had to calm down. When they finally arrived at the restaurant Lauren walked up to the counter and told them she had reservations. The worker then led the couple to a table which was already occupied by an older couple. They smiled as they saw Lauren and both got up to greet the pair. Lauren walked over first and gave each a hug and a kiss. Now it was the moment that Joe had been dreading for the entire night.
" Oh! Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend, Joe." Lauren smiled .
Mrs. Lopez was the first to actually grasp it and smile. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lopez." HE then turned over toward her father. "And you as well, Mr. Lopez. This time the older man's grasp was a bit firmer than before, but Joe expected it.
Joe was now finally able to enjoy his dinner and relax. The four talked and laughed all throughout the dinner.
"It was nice to meet the both of you." Joe stated. Her parents agreed with him and went to say their goodbyes.
When Lauren went to hug her father, he whispered in her ear, "He's a keeper."
Lauren just smiled and whispered back, "I know."
20. Colorless Ever since Lauren and Joe's kids were younger, Joe had always been protective of them. Especially his little girls. This is why he sat completely colorless on the couch.
10 Minutes Prior
Megan, their oldest daughter, was 25 years old and had come over to visit her parents with her boyfriend, Troy. Even though they had been dating for three years, Joe still did not like the idea of the two dating. Yes the young man had proved himself and was a lovely and ambitious guy, Megan was still Joe's little girl. Today when the young couple had come to visit, they seemed to be a bit antsy and nervous though. The two sat on the couch across from Lauren and Joe. After talking for several minutes, Megan looked over at Troy and nodded.
"Okay, so Dad and Mom, we didn't just come over to visit with you. We actually have something to tell you." Joe nodded telling her to go on. Megan continued, "Well actually we wanted to tell you that…we are engaged! She smiled brightly and held out her left hand, showing off the sparkler on her ring finger.
Back to Present
This is how Joe became colorless. Lauren looked ecstatic and quickly jumped up to hug the couple. Joe just sat on the couch trying to take everything in. His mind raced back to all the memories he had with her. When he first held the cute little pink bundle, making sure not t break the fragile newborn. Or the times where she would cuddle with him when she was scared. Helping her to ride her first bike. All of thee just flashed in front of him before he heard his name being called.
Megan looked at him worriedly, "Dad, are you okay?" Joe got up and hugged her tightly.
"Of course I am, sweetheart. As long as this is what you want." When he saw the smile on her face, he knew this is what she wanted. He then went to shake the young man's hand. "Welcome to the family." Troy just smiled back and shook his soon-to-be father-in-laws hand.
