It was one week later. Jace has been extremely umm… friendly. We were inviting his family over for dinner tonight. My sisters were coming home from college tonight to, so they got to meet him. Pray for me guys. A mom that can embarrass me. Three sisters that can ask and do stupid things. And four brothers that can question him to death. I'm going to have a fun night! Insert sarcasm here.
I was pacing around the kitchen. Although it was only an hour before he came, I was pacing. "What's wrong with you?" Blake asked as he walked in and got a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. "Jace is coming tonight. Here in our house, in this kitchen. With all of us around." I exasperated to him. He started doubling over in laughter. Don't laugh at me this a serious matter.
"Well Cammi we can't just let the guy in and eat. I mean come on it's our house." he told me and pulled me over to the kitchen table and sat me down. He sat down next to me and put on his serious face. I could tell he finally got why I was pacing. Thank you Jesus! "You like him don't you Cambrey?" he asked. Uh oh seriousness and my first name in the same sentence! He must really get it. I didn't say anything. I put my arms on the table and layed my head on them then nodded. He was right I did like him, a lot.
"Don't freak Cams everything is going to go smoothly." Yes everything will go perfectly fine after they interrogate him! Keep dreaming buddy! "We won't interrogate him, I'll talk to Landon, Chase and Devon ok?" he told me. He knew what I was thinking. I nodded my head again. "Thank you." I said and hugged him. "Anytime." he told me and walked out of the kitchen.
I was sitting in my room just staring at the ceiling when the door bell rang. "I'll get it. I'll get it. I'll get it. Nobody else move I got it." I yelled as I ran. "Hey everyone I think Cambrey's got it!" I heard Landon yell from the living room and everyone else snicker, as I opened the door. "So hear you got it." Jace said and smiled. Ok more like smirked. "Hi." I told him. "Did you get it yet Cammi?" Devon yelled through the entry as he walked towards us. I rolled my eyes. "Shut up Devon." I yelled back at him as I let Jace and his mom in the house. His mom and dad were divorced to. His brother and sister lived with his dad in Colorado. "Let the fun begin." I said and Jace heard me because he smiled.
Him and his mom met everyone and we were at the table eating. "Can you pass the potatoes Chase?" Lydia asked. He handed her the bowl. "Here Chase." Lydia said and held the bowl out to Chase. "Why can't you put them right there?" he asked cockily and pointed to a spot right beside her arm. "There isn't enough room, idiot." "There's plenty and don't call me an idiot." I turned to Jace and just like everyone else at the table he was looking at them. "Remember how you said you liked big families?" I asked him. "Yeah." "Hang onto that." I told him and he started smiling.
"Bye I'll see you at school Monday!" I said as I walked them out. "I'll text you when I get home." he told me. We had swapped phone numbers. He said he had something to tell me on Monday after school. We had arranged for me to go over to his house and study. Lauren was going to pick me up later. My sisters were staying for two or three weeks. I had a good time at dinner tonight. I hope he still liked big families after tonight.
