Chapter 6

It's monday morning and today is the day of the home visit. They are already on their way here and I'm pretty nervous. I know we will probably be fine, but I can't help it. Then I heard a knock at the door, so I run to go open it.

"Good Morning Julia, is Anna home?" The woman asks.

"Yes! I'm here!" Anna says as she comes to the door.

"Well, shall we get started?" The woman says.

"Of course, where would you like to start?" Anna says

"Just a tour of the whole place should do"

So we walk around the house and Anna shows her bedroom and the kitchen, and the bathrooms. Then we get to my room and Anna explains how Cayenne would stay in this room and we show her the bed and the clothes that we got her. She doesn't say much while she walks through, which is a little intimidating but I think we'll be okay. Once we finish showing her around the house we all go into the living room, and Anna tells me that I should just go wait in my room. I tried to object but she can be pretty assertive sometimes, so I go to my room.

After about thirty minutes of waiting and texting Jacob of how nervous I am they are still talking. He is telling me not to worry and that they would let Cayenne come because there isn't anything wrong with the living situation. I believe him and I know he is right, but there is still a part of me that will always freak out.

After about ten more minutes I hear them start to say goodbye, so I decided to go out so that I could also say goodbye to the woman, thinking now I never got her name.

"Bye Julia, it was nice meeting you." She says.

"It was nice meeting you too, hope you have a great rest of your day!" I say

Then we close the door and I look to Anna to try and see on her face if it was good or bad news. He face was expressionless.

"So? What did she say?" I ask

"WE PASSED!" She said.

I let out the breath I didn't even realize I was holding and I run to Anna and give her a huge hug. Then all of a sudden I started to cry.

"Why are you crying Julia?" Anna asked.

"I don't know. I'm just really happy. I need to go tell Jacob!" I say with a big smile.

I ran to my room and called Jacob to tell him the good news. He was so excited for me and asked if he could come over when Cayenne comes, and I told him yes and that he should come over tonight to celebrate. He agreed and said he would be here at five.

It's almost five and Jacob text me and said he was on his way, so he should be here any minute. I'm really excited, I haven't seen him since our date. Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock at the door, so I went to get it and there he was. I hugged him and invited him inside. Anna wasn't home, she went to the store, so she said that he isn't allowed in my room until she gets back. We go and sit on the sofa and just talk for awhile. I told him about Cayenne and all the stuff we got for her and when she was coming so he knew when to be here, which will be Wednesday afternoon. I also told him how I was nervous to go back to school after winter break, but he assured me that there is nothing to worry about.

After a while it seemed like Jacob was getting nervous and he was acting a little weird and I had no idea why. After a few minutes he said that he had something to ask me.

"What is it?" I asked

"Well, we have cared about each other for a long time, and you know that I love you, so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my girlfriend." He said.

"Ummm, no." I said. He was in shock of what I just said and just stared at me.

"I'm just kidding, of course I would!" I say

He let out a sigh of relief and we hugged really tight, and when he let go, he looked into my eyes and softly pressed his lips against mine. Just as this happened I heard Anna's car pull into the driveway so I slowly pulled away and said, "Anna's here."

"Man, she really knows how to ruin a moment." He says as we both laugh.

We helped her bring in the groceries and all had dinner together and Jacob and I talked for a while and just enjoyed our time together. I never thought in a million years that I would ever have a boyfriend, but if it were to be anyone, I'm glad it's him. I love him.
