~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~January 5th, 2012 Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Harry's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was adorable to see how nervous Kristina was. She was in a light green blouse that brought out the green flecks in her blue eyes. She was also in a pair of black slacks. Her brown hair was curled. The only reason I knew she was so nervous was that she kept rubbing her hands down her thighs.
"You're going to be just fine Kris. You've met my mother and sister already." I said.
"I know but that was at Christmas and everyone was there. This is just the four of us. I'm terrified." Kristina said.
"You'll be okay I promise you." I said. Kristina didn't say anything else but looked out at the scenery. We pulled up into the house that had been my childhood home. I was glad to just see my mom and sister's car. If my mom had invited anyone else I'm sure Kristina would have come out of her skin. I shut the car off and we got out. We walked up to the door and I smiled at her before I opened the door and walked in.
"Mom?" I called. Kristina swallowed as she followed me in. I smiled at my mom as she walked in.
"Harry, it's good to see you. How are you Kristina?" Diana asked.
"I'm okay. I've been Lily's shoulder a lot lately. Between her big brother not talking to her and her boyfriend being a bit crazy." Kristina answered.
"Well at least yours is still talking to you correct?" Diana asked.
"Yes. I couldn't do it without Kevin." Kristina answered. We had left the entry way and moved to the living room. I nodded at my sister.
"Hey Kristina." Georgia said.
"Hey." Kristina said. I sat down next to Kristina as we sat on the couch.
"So we never really got the chance to talk about your family at Christmas though they were there. What did your parents do?" Diana asked.
"Mom is a former Miss Virginia and Dad's a sportscaster. Sports was in our blood which explains why Kevin and I got into what we did." Kristina answered.
"You ever do beauty pageants?" Georgia asked.
"I did a few. It just wasn't in the cards for me like it was for mom." Kristina answered. I learned something new about my girlfriend.
"When did you start?" Diana asked.
"Um. You ever seen the show Toddlers and Tiaras? Yeah that was me. I started at like three and went until I was seventeen." Kristina answered.
"You do well?" Georgia asked.
"If by well you mean getting the high titles every time almost then yeah I did well." Kristina replied. We talked about what ever came to mind. We had dinner and it was good to see Kristina lighten up a little. Soon dinner was over and we were just hanging out and talking about anything that crossed anyone's minds. I had my arm looped over Kristina's shoulders. It was when she leaned her head onto my shoulder that I realized she was getting tired.
"Hey I think it's time I get her home. She's been on the road and she's roomed with Lily who doesn't sleep anymore." I said.
"It's fine. She looks like she needs the rest." Diana said.
"It was nice getting to know you guys better. I really am sorry." Kristina said as I helped her stand.
"No problem see you later." Diana said. We waved before we walked out the front door.
"So how is Kevin's relationship with Alexsandra?" I asked.
"They're a happy couple. Alexsandra's pretty understanding that Kevin will be a daddy in the near future." Kristina said.
"Well at least some couple is happy in this family." I said.
"There are at least two happy couples in the family. Lily's is the only one who has a relationship that's on the rocks." Kristina said.
"Yeah well there thing is rather off and on." I said.
"Yeah depends on when Maxine is being stupid or not." Kristina said. We had settled into the car and I was driving toward my house. She'd been there before. This would save her a plan ticket and I would get to spend more time with her.
We didn't spend that much time considering we both worked our own wrestling schedules.
"You ready for a good night's sleep?" I asked.
"Yes." Kristina replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kristina's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had figured that dinner would be horrible but honestly it wasn't that bad. I mean it was sort of really laid back. It was sort of like family dinners we had at the house. Sure they weren't the most orthodox most days with us getting into the occasional yelling match, but it was all in good fun.
I mean I got into scuffles with my brothers all the time. We'd end up rolling around on the floor and beating each other up.
"You don't think I screwed up tonight did I?" I asked.
"No Krissy. They love you." Harry answered.
"Well at least I didn't screw up our relationship." I said.
"Krissy you couldn't screw it up if you tried. Even if my mom and sister hated you I still would have gone out with you." Harry said.
"Yeah but it would have created a riff and I don't like doing that." I said. I'd had a few relationships in the past where that happened and it finally got too much for them and they ended up dumping me. I didn't want to do that with Harry. I really really liked him. Wait maybe like wasn't strong enough for me. I loved him. I don't think I've ever felt that way about another guy before.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell him or not. It would change the relationship for the worse or better. I hated the questions. I wanted to be sure, but I never would be. I wouldn't be sure until I said it out loud. I wasn't sure I wanted to. We were at his house. We got out and headed in. I took my shoes off and we walked up to his room. I wasn't sure it was our room yet. I had sat on the edge of the bed while Harry got ready for bed. I was tempted to lay down on the bed, but I knew if I did that I would fall asleep.
I wanted to stay awake because I wanted to tell Harry. I was hoping that this relationship wouldn't turn down the wrong path. I needed this relationship. I needed to keep this small shred of sanity in an otherwise crazy world.
Harry came back out and I looked at him.
"Harry can I tell you something?" I asked. Harry sat down next to me.
"You can tell me anything." He said.
"I-I love you." I said.
