"I hate her!"Exclaimed Elaine Orton to her husband. The two of them were in the kitchen making coffee to take through.

"Come on hon make an effort, you're just upset because our boy's found someone who he might want to spend the rest of his life with"Bob Orton said with a slight smile.

"I told you they'd love you"Randy said with a smile sitting next to Maria.

"Are you sure your mother likes me?"she asked

"posotive, what's not to love"he replied

"aww your so sweet"she laughed.

Randy kissed her lightly on the lips just as his parents walked through,

There was a loud obvious cough from the door and Maria instanly went red where as Randy just smiles and put his arm around her.

"So what's been going on round here lately?"he asked

Elaine put the tray of dirinks of the table and sat on a chair looking at the couple.

Bob nudged Elaine, who forced a smile on her face.

"Oh the same old stuff really, Nathans doing great at school, and Becky's got herself a lovely new boyfriend"she said

Bob coughed and rolled his eyes"yeah Dan's a great lad"

Randy laughed"so we've got another one to scare off then"

"No you haven't"Elaine exclaimed while Bob was stood behind her nodding his head.

"So son what about you,what's been going on?"asked Bob sitting down next to his wife.

"I've been involved in a very dramatic relationship with this lovely lady here, who can't stay out of trouble!Randy told them with a grin and Maria felt the color coming to her cheeks.

Bob laughed"two pea's in a pod then, Randy was always getting into trouble, oh the stories we could tell you"

It was Randy's turn to go red.

"Oh really?"asked Maria"maybe i should hear these stories"

"Nah they're boring"Randy said casually.

"Oh like the time when we caught him..."Bob started

"Is somthing burning?"Randy asked cutting him off

"No"Maria said sweetly before turning back to Bob"so you were saying"

"Well would you look at the time, we should be heading off"Randy said jumping up.

"But we just got here"Maria reminded him.

"Well Maria you might want to get settled in your hotel"Elaine said

"Actually she's staying with me"Randy told them.

"Oh Randy we were going to ask you to stay at home for awhile"Elaine told him.

"Well Maria can't be in some hotel room alone, if she's Randy's girlfriend then she's family and family stays with us"Bob said putting his arm around Maria's shoulder.

"Oh i wouldn't want to be any trouble, i don't mind going to a hotel"she told them feeling embaressed.

"No you're staying here, no future daughter in law of mine is staying in a hotel"Bob declared

"We aren't engaged"Maria informed him.

"Not yet"he said winking at Randy who smirked.

"Well ok then..."she agreed.
