It was really good getting a girl's point of view on meeting my boyfriend's family. Right now, Candy was over and was helping me choose what to wear. I usually didn't care what I wore, but I wanted to make a good impression. I usually just wear what's comfortable and what I like, but first impressions can set a lot into place.

"Does this look ok?" I asked her hopefully. I put on a black skirt than ended halfway up my thighs that Candy lent me, a plain gray sweater, tan/black tights, black converse and a leather cuff bracelet.

She gave a questioning look. "Turn around and face the wall," she commanded while placing one hand on her hip and spun her pointer finger on her other hand in a circle in the air. I did as she said and bit my lip. "Now face me again," she said. I turned back around and when I saw her face she had a smile. "You look great."

I gave a weak smile, "You sure?" She nodded and dragged me out of the room to the living room where Two-Bit was waiting to take me to his house. He stood up from the couch smiling when he saw me. "You look great," he said and smiled. I smiled back and gave him a quick kiss as we walked out the house to go over to his. His car was still in the shop, like it was every other week it seemed, so we couldn't take that. But it actually felt kinda nice walking.

It took about ten minutes to get to his house. I could feel my heart beat faster and faster in my chest as we walked up to the house. He took my hand in his and gave a reassuring smile, "You're gonna be fine." I smiled back a bit and he lead me into the house. "Anyone here?" he called. "In the kitchen!" someone, who I'm guessing was his mom, called from another room.

He led me to the kitchen where I saw the back of a woman who was a little shorter than him and had the same color of dirty blondish hair. She turned around and smiled at me. "You must be Rain," she said softly, still smiling. I smiled back at her and nodded. She shooed her son out of the room and motioned for me to sit with her at the small kitchen table. "I'm , but if you want you can just call me Lisa, that's my first name," she smiled.

I couldn't help but smile back. I just met her and she already seems like one of the sweetest people in the whole world. "My name's Raina, most people just call me Rain, but you can call Raina, if you want."

"That's a very lovely name… it feels so nice to have my son in a meaningful relationship with a girl like you, at least from what he's said about you."

"He talks about me?" I could feel my cheeks get pink and I prayed she didn't notice.

She chuckled and nodded. "Oh, yes. One night, he came home and kept going on and on and on about how wonderful you were and a whole bunch of good things."

We continued talking throughout dinner. She asked me about my schoolwork, my life with the Curtis', my interests, everything. I still felt kinda nervous that I would say the wrong thing, but I eventually eased up. When she started to ask me about what movies and music I like, she seemed kinda shocked that I said Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant, but not too much when I said Elvis Presley. "Keilah over here like Elvis Presley too," she smiled.

Keilah is Two-Bit's sister. She's ten and looks exactly like their mother. She has dirty blonde hair and green eyes. Two-Bit had practically helped raise her since their dad left. She didn't really remember him since he left when she was only two years old, but from what Two-Bit said, he didn't seem like a great guy.

Keilah put her hands up in defense. "There's nothing wrong with liking Elvis."

I chuckled and nodded. "I agree with Keilah."

Their mom chuckled. "I'm just kind of surprised that you like Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant. I mean, Bogie died back in, what? Fifty-six? Fifty-seven? And sure Cary Grant is still around, but he hasn't been in much lately other than that new movie of his Walk Don't Run, then before that was Father Goose from two years ago."

I shrugged and chuckled a bit. "I just really like their acting, I guess. Especially Bogie's movie Casablanca."

"Which I'm taking you to see," Two-Bit whispered in my ear and I smiled.

gave her son a look. "I'm not deaf, Keith… and will you be able to handle a movie like Casablanca?" I was kinda shocked to see he didn't cringe at his real name like he would when anyone else called him that, but then I remembered that this was his mother.

He sighed in annoyance, causing his mother to give him a warning look. "Why does everyone keep saying that? I can be serious!"

"Well, I know that. But that movie is very very serious. Not to mention a serious romance story and that it takes place during a horrible time when there were German officials everywhere and just complete chaos."

"Well then if I don't like it, then I'll stay for Rain."

I tried to bit back a smile than started to form and I knew my cheeks were probably a bright pink. I saw smile at her son, obviously proud of his response. Keilah rolled her eyes, obviously bored by the conversation now going on around her- which earned a scolding look from her mother.

After we all finished eating, wanted to talk to me again. "Keith, watch your sister while I talk to Raina." He nodded and she brought me into her bedroom where she knew we could talk without her two children trying to listen in. "Raina, you can't tell Keith what I'm going to say… alright?"

I nodded quickly as we sat on the edge of her bed.

She nodded. "Now I know he's known you and all those other boys who you two are friends with almost all your lives. And I know you've been through a lot lately. Now I know that he isn't the most responsible kid on the block, and that's partly my own life… but he can be responsible when he wants to. Usually when he would get a girlfriend, the relationship would last about a week or two, maybe a little longer- but never too long. Sure, there was that girl Kathy, but I don't know… I just didn't trust her, or something, I don't know. Something about her just bothered me. But you… you've changed him for the better and for the better."

I gave a small smile.

"I'm sure you know of his drinking habits, don't you?"

I nodded.

"He won't verbally admit to thiss, but it's because of his father. I remember when he first left, he kept blaming himself that he did something wrong, and even though I promised him it wasn't his fault, he didn't believe me. When he turned fifteen, the drinking started. I know in this town it's not hard to get into that habit but still… anyway, I tried to get him to stop but nothing worked. I gave up on his eighteenth birthday, cause he was legally an adult at that point. It's his own choice." She paused for a moment and sighed, obviously not happy with his choice. "But ever since you two started going out, he doesn't drink nearly as much. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen it happen since that night you two first went out. I think, from a mother's point of view- that he would drink to fill some sort of emptiness that his father created when he left. I know that sort of thing happens with families. But I honestly think, that you filled that space."

My mouth gaped open a bit. "I… I don't think I'd say that…" My voice was quiet.

She shook her head and put her hand on my upper arm. "Raina, sweetheart, listen to me… you've had a positive effect on his life and I know, that it's the same for you. I know this from women's intuition and you'll see that in the future," she chuckled, "but just think about what I told you, alright?"

I nodded and she smiled. She stood up from her bed and made her way to the door out the room, motioning for me to follow her. I did as I was told and we went to the front room. When we got there, Two-Bit was helping Keilah with something, I couldn't really make out what, but it was still the sweetest thing I ever saw. I had heard that other girls said seeing your boyfriend with little kids or helping with younger siblings would make your heart melt and I never knew if it was true until now.

cleared her throat and the two siblings looked up. She put her hands on my shoulders, "I think it's time you should be getting Raina home. It's getting late." He quickly stood up halfway through her sentence and walked with me to the door. "Oh! Keith?" He quickly faced his mother. She smiled, "You have yourself a very lovely girl." He smiled and looked back at me, "I know." He turned to open the door and winked at me. I gave a small smile, waved goodbye, and walked out the door.

"See? I told you it wouldn't be so bad," he smiled and wrapped his arm around me shoulders as we walked.

"You were right, Keith," I said in a teasing voice.

"Only you, Keilah and my mom can call me that… just not around the rest, please?"

I chuckled and pecked his lips. "I feel special… and fine."

He smiled in victory.

"You and your sister look just like your mom, ya know… except, you obviously look like a guy version."

"Is that good or bad?"

"Good."

AHHHHHH I'M ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH THE WATT PAD VERSION OF THIS! Anyway, is this story any good? I've had feedback on watt pad, plus my two friends who I actually trust in reading my writings both said it was good, I actually got their opinions on certain future things that are gonna happen and they freaked out cause it went along with the times (cause if you ask me, I've read some other fan fics on the outsiders, even dirty dancing- and they weren't really going along with the times and were more modern time stuff going on with the one character added in) anyway, I hope anyone reading this likes it!

Oh! By the way- Keilah is pronounced like the name Kayla… yes Keilah is a real name cause I have a friend with that name. I chose it cause I wanted to be one of those corny people where the two siblings had somewhat similar names, even if they don't sound the same.

Also, when I mentioned about how she liked Casablanca, all things about the movie are true. I actually love the movie and LOVE Humphrey Bogart, aka: Bogie, which is another thing I wanted to clear up. Bogie was a nickname for actor Humphrey Bogart who died in '57 and was married to Lauren Bacall (who died last year-2014-and was mentioned in the Academy Awards dedication to all the people of the Academy who died). Another reason I know that about his nickname is cause I watched the story behind making The African Queen (Which is amazerful and don't let anyone tell you different) and Katharine Hepburn was in an interview about it and she referenced to him as "Bogie" plus anyone else who talked about him also referenced him as "Bogie"… it was just his nickname

But helpful thing to remember- the characters of Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca were literally in love and that Elvis Presley and Priscilla had just gotten engaged around this time… cause you'll see it in the future

Wow that was a long author's note.

Bye! =^-^=
