A/N Just a little disclaimer that may be obvious but still. I do not own Glee, I do not know personally anyone mentioned. This is purely a fiction exercise. Also because English is not my native language you may have to excuse some mistakes I may write. That being said I hope you enjoy it. :)
So... After some torrid moments with Grant you two are enjoying your time in New York. Grant said he loves you and you told him you love him too. Sweet.
Sunday you did some more sightseeing and you met up with your friend Ashley and her boyfriend Will for a dinner at their place. She was thrilled when you told her the news. Even Grant pulled her aside and thanked her in private for her help. On Monday, you visited some museums, done some shopping, more strolling around and a romantic fancy dinner. This felt like a honeymoon to both of you. Sex included. (Early) Mornings were especially prolific in what sex is concerned. Both of you seemed to have the highest level of sex drive after you wake up, even though nights were great as well. Sometimes it was just foreplay but it was great as well and it didn't stop you two from making each other come.
Tuesday morning. You are with Grant in bed. You are just being lazy, enjoying your post-sex time. Grant notices you're a little distant, almost tense. "Anything wrong, sexy girl?" He caresses your hair, kissing it softly.
"No." You sigh. "It's just that we're leaving..."
He smiles at you. "You knew that. It was basically just a couple of days here... That is not really what is bugging you, is it?" He talks like he knows already the answer. And he's right.
"Isn't it?" You look up to him. You know it isn't. Well, not alone anyway.
He shakes his head. "No. What is bugging you is not the fact that we're leaving New York. It's the fact that we're leaving to go to Norfolk. Where you'll be meeting my family. Is that right?"
You smile. He already knows you so well. "Well, yeah. A bit."
"You have nothing to worry about." Grant hugs you tight. "They will love you just like I do." He kisses your forehead softly.
"They think we're just friends, right?" You look up to him.
"Well… Yeah, except my brother. He's also my best friend so… I told him."
You giggle, remembering that your sister knows it as well. "Right."
"Well, I told him not to tell anything to my parents or my sister because at that time we had been dating each other for a day so…" he chuckles, "but honestly I see no reason not to introduce you as my lovely girlfriend. Besides I don't know if I'm gonna be able to keep myself from kissing you, hugging you…" he squeezes you and kisses your lips, "And all those other amazing things…" his hand rubs your buttock.
You can't help a chuckle. But you know he's right. In fact you agree with Grant, but it doesn't make you less nervous. "Yeah, you're right. After all our friends know too… And it's not like it's a secret anyway…" You just feel that you'll be on the spotlight and more analyzed by his family than if you were just a friend.
"Well, friend or not my mother is already thrilled to meet you after all the good things I told her about you… so if I tell her now that you are also my girlfriend I'm sure she will be more than happy."
You chuckle nervously. "Oh dear. What 'good things' have you told her about me?"
"The truth. That you are amazing, great, smart, sweet, funny, nice and I also told her how much you helped me with the Finnick role. And because of that Twitter picture she was already thinking we were dating each other, so…" He grins happily.
You crawl on top of him and you kiss the tip of his nose. "She won't think I'm stealing her baby boy away from her?"
He laughs loudly. "Hahah! Seriously, babe, you have nothing to worry about. Honestly, I'm way more worried about your father than you should ever be about my mother…" He looks deeply into your eyes like he's waiting for you to say something about it.
"Oh…" You blush. You haven't still talked to him about that, about what will probably be expecting him when he meets your family. You don't even know that Ashley, your friend, has already given him the heads up about that matter.
"Oh?" He chuckles. "Is that all you're saying? Your father won't like me, will he? No matter what I say or do, right? And it's not because of me, Thomas Grant Gustin, it's because I'm a guy wooing his daughter. And in a way I understand him. I would probably do the same if I had a daughter like you. So beautiful, amazing and great. You deserve only the best." He kisses your lips softly.
"You really need to stop saying those things, Grant. You spoil me." You smile shyly.
"Hahah! I told you, there is no spoiling you. Besides, it's true. You're all that. Do you want me to ask your father to see if he agrees?" He laughs amused.
"Oh well. He'll probably be a little… hummm… not nice. But it's like you said, it's nothing against you, nothing personal. You must keep that in mind. Any other guy and he would be the same. And… you know… after that thing with Trevor he didn't get any better, on the contrary. He has this idea that I pick the wrong guys. Even if it was that one time… "
"So, I'm gonna have to prove him wrong, correct? Prove him that I'm the right guy for you. The one and only." He smiles.
"Are you?" You tease him.
He pretends to be hurt. "Ouch! Do you doubt it? I can still tickle you, you know that?" It's not just a threat. In a second you're wriggling because of his tickling.
"Ahhh, stop, Grant!" He doesn't stop at all. "OK! You're the right guy for me! The one and only!" You try to make him stop by saying he's right.
He finally stops. "Hahah! Of course I am. And you're the right girl for me. That I'm absolutely sure of." In no time he turns you around and gets to be on top of you. He starts kissing you neck, moves to your collarbone and further down to your breasts. You sigh pleased as you run your fingers through his hair. "Mmmm," he moans. "I think we need to finish this in the shower…" You two have to get ready to leave for the airport and catch the plane to Norfolk.
You giggle. "Right. Let's go, right-guy-for-me." You tap his ass.
"Oh! Teaser!" After some more tickling torture you two finally hit the shower.
The flight to Norfolk is not very long, less than two hours, after all the distance is not that big.
You two get there at around 1PM. Grant said his brother Tyler was picking you two at the airport. Now you really start to get nervous. The time to meet his family has finally come.
You and Grant are coming through the Arrivals way. "Look, there he is!" Grant waves to a guy about your age, his brother. Next to him there's a younger blonde girl who you also recognize from the pictures Grant showed you before. It's his sister, Gracie.
"Oh, my crazy sister also came along. Something tells me she's eager to meet you…" Grant laughs.
You giggle nervously realizing Gracie was staring at you. "Oh, why would she? I'm sure she's just missing you..."
"Right." Grant giggles as he puts his arm around your shoulders and kisses your forehead.
At the same time Gracie slaps Tyler's arm while she looks at you. "Oh… You didn't tell me she was this pretty…"
Tyler laughs. "Hahah! You saw the same picture of her that I did. Guess Grant wasn't really exaggerating, uh?"
"Well, we couldn't really see her properly in that picture where she was kissing Grant's cheek… OH!" she exclaims when Grant kisses your forehead, "Aw, so sweet! Look at them both together. She and our foolish brother seem like they jumped out of a magazine cover. And they are just friends?! Right. And I'm Lady Gaga!" She giggles.
"Shsh!" Tyler elbows her as you and Grant approach them. "They're coming."
"HI!" Grant immediately hugs his siblings, taking each one of them under each one of his arms.
"Brother!" They hug him back tight.
"What a reception, uh?" Grant jokes when they finally let go.
Tyler pouts apologetically. "Sorry. She was determined to come. I couldn't persuade her to stay at home." He looks at his sister, teasing her. "Fortunately I did persuade her not to drive, otherwise we wouldn't still be here for sure." He laughs loudly.
"Oh, asshole!" Gracie exclaims slapping Tyler's shoulder.
"Teasing runs in the family, I see." You mumble amused to yourself.
"What?" Grant giggles frowning at you. But he quickly changes the subject. "Anyway, guys…" He asks for Tyler's and Gracie's attention. He introduces you by saying your name and adds, "my beautiful and amazing girlfriend."
Tyler smiles, it's not really a big surprise to him. "Hi, I'm Tyler. Nice to finally meet you. He's been raving so much about you…" You blush a bit because of his words and you shake hands with him.
Gracie has her eyes open wide but she's also smiling. "HA! I knew it! Stupid!" She slaps Tyler's arm again. "You knew they're dating and you didn't tell me! Or you, Thomas Grant!" She scowls at Grant pretending to be hurt.
Grant just giggles. "Right. I'm sorry. Anyway, don't be rude, Gracie." He tilts his head towards you.
"Oh sorry." She giggles. Then she smiles friendly at you. "Hi. So nice to meet you! I'm Gracie, the young silly sister, as I'm sure Grant has already told you." She steps forward to give you a warm hug, which takes you by surprise. Then she releases you and quickly adds, "he just forgot to tell ME that he had such a pretty girlfriend. Or any girlfriend for that matter." She pokes her tongue out at Grant.
You can't help but laugh as Grant steps forward and clasps her around the thighs, lifts her and puts her over his shoulder. "Enough, you spoiled brat. Maybe, and I say maybe, I'd have told you if you weren't such a whining little brat." He teases her.
"HA! Put me down!" She squeaks as she punches his back repeatedly.
"No, not before you apologize. And if you don't I'll carry you like this to the car for everyone to see you're just an obnoxious child."
"Haaa! Ok, I'm sorry! Put me down!" After some more pleads Grant finally releases her and puts her down.
Tyler shrugs, rolling his eyes at you with a smile. "Welcome to the crazy world of the Gustin family."
You smile, you think they are adorable. "Not crazy. It's sweet."
Grant and Gracie join you and Tyler. "What's sweet? You?" Grant asks, and then he holds your hand and pecks your lips.
"Aww!" Gracie squeals grinning excited and you blush a little.
Tyler giggles. "Lovely. Can't wait to see Mom's reaction."
Gracie shrugs. "She suspects it already. We were talking last night and she was precisely saying that for Grant to bring someone over she had to be more than a friend. I mean, Grant visited us for my birthday three months ago when he was dating that Hannah girl and he didn't bring her along, did he?"
You blush and both Grant and Tyler look at Gracie intensely when she mentions Hannah's name. She quickly understands and looks at you with an apologetic smile. "Sorry. What I was trying to say is that it's obvious my brother is crazy about you. And rightly so, you're so pretty…"
Grant chuckles. "Right, she is." He turns to you. "You are. And watch out for my sister's sweet talking. I'm sure she just wants to annoy you with all sorts of talks about make-up and such… She'll probably even ask you to do her make-up…"
Gracie flushes. "Oh, stupid!"
Grant laughs. "See? She doesn't deny it."
You smile friendly. "Not that she needs any make-up at all, she's a natural beauty, but I'll be more than happy to tell or show her whatever she wants."
Gracie smirks smugly at Grant. "See, she's nice." Then she turns to you with a smile. "Thank you! I'd love that. Honestly I don't know how a nice, cute girl like you can stand my stupid brother. He's a dork. An adorable dork, but still a dork." She jokes.
Grant laughs and hugs his sister. "Hahah! I missed you, little sis."
Gracie hugs him back. "I missed you too, brother."
Tyler shakes his head laughing. "Right. Let's go. Mom must be impatient already, waiting for us." He grabs your suitcases and starts walking.
"Oh, is Mom home already? I thought she said she was working during the week." Grant comments surprised as you all start walking out of the airport towards the car.
"Yeah, she is, but she took today's afternoon off so she could greet you guys properly. I told you, she's all excited." Tyler chuckles amused.
Gracie nods also very entertained. "Yeah, she must be cooking and baking all sorts of stuff for dinner as we speak. When we left home to come here to pick you guys she was going to the supermarket."
Grant grins. "Yeah, she's thrilled all right. Told you so." He winks at you.
"Oh dear." You giggle and praying inside for his mom to like you.
"Also, dad, grandma and grandpa are joining us for dinner," Tyler informs then he teases Grant, "yeah, family reunion just to welcome you! Hahah!"
You look at Grant opening your eyes.
He shrugs apologetically. "Sorry, looks like the entire Gustin family will be there to meet you…"
They all laugh and you just blush taking a deep sigh. "God help me."
A/N Initially I was gonna do the whole Norfolk visit in one chapter but it would be just too big, so I decided to split it. Surprising revelations to come…
