"We're heading off now Ma, thanks so much for dinner." I said as I hugged her.

"You don't need to thank me honey, I'm just glad you came and brought somebody with you… It was nice to meet you Jeff."

"It was nice to meet you too; dinner was incredible, thankyou so much. I'm gonna give my Dad you're number so you can give him some pointers with his own cooking."

"Aww you just do that hun."

"See ya Daddy." I said wrapping my arms around him tightly.

"Happy Thanksgiving Champ," he said to me as he hugged me tightly.

"Thankyou for the invite Mr Green." Jeff said as the two of them shook hands.

"It was nice to finally meet the man who beat up my daughter in the ring a few times." Dad chuckled.

"Bye Nanna, bye Grandpa me and Jeff are going now."

"Ooh are you it's nice to see you have a boyfriend Riley." Nanna in her totally oblivious world said to me.

"Nanna he's not my boyfriend." I told her

"You just make sure he looks after you Ri…"

"Yes Grandpa, I will. I'll be down to visit you soon." I told them both before giving each of them a kiss. Jeff shook hands with them both.

"See you later then squirt." I said to Jake along with a hi-five. "Be good for Mom won't you."

"Yeah I will be. See you later Riley… Bye Jeff."

"See ya later man, good to meet you."

"Bye then everyone! See you all soon!" I yelled as we headed out to my car.

"Bye!" my mom yelled, waving frantically from the front door.


"You're family are real nice Riley, thanks for inviting me…"

"That's alright… Thank you for coming." I said to him with a smile as I turned to him, taking my eyes from the road for a second.

"I would have like to have spoken to your brother a bit more than I did though."

"My brother? Which brother?"

"Ryan…"

"How come?"

"Well just from seeing him for the little time that I did and having the conversations I had with him showed me immediately the connection that you have with him! its so strong its incredible, it was really nice to see that."

"Connection?"

"Yeah don't you feel it?"

"I dunno, I guess so I've just never really thought about it."

"Even when I was speaking to him when you were in the room I could feel it, its obvious how close you are to him. I'd really like it if I could hang out with him more and know what I'm learning is more and more about you."

"Wow getting real deep there Jeff." I interrupted with some light sarcasm. "You and you're brother are close though right?"

"Oh yeah definitely, real close. What me and Matt have is strong because of our wrestling; it's different to you and Ryan. It's as if the two of you are one person."

"You say that as if it's a bad thing?"

"What a bad thing? No way! I guess you aren't understanding my way of thinking are you? I do tend to do this…what I'm trying to say is that the relationship you have with your brother is really special and you wouldn't believe how much I want to get to know you Riley. I suppose getting to know the people around you who are most close to you gives me another piece to the Miss Immortal Jigsaw Puzzle; I'm really enjoying getting to put it all together."

After that little speech I was suddenly stuck for words, probably one for the first times ever! What Jeff had said to me was beautiful; know one has ever in my life said anything quite like that to me before. I glanced over to him, he looked like he was waiting for some kind of response- I had no clue how to give him what he was waiting for though. There was no way I was going to be able to think of words to say to reply to that s instead I just took hold of his hand and rested it on his thigh- we held hands in silence for the rest of the way home, it was perfect.

A/N: This chapter goes on for much longer- you're gonna L.O.V.E it! But I like it so much and it's a big part of the story I thought it should be in its own chapter. So when it is finally up here just to let you know that 'really' its still part of Thanksgiving Pt.2.

Love to all xxxxx
