(Max POV)
All too soon it became dinner time. The kids and I have gotten along well with Fang's cousins, Angela and Nikos. We also have gotten along well with his grandparents (Yiayia and Papou) too. For some reason they've been smiling at me since I've got here. I guess that's a good thing but it's making me claustrophobic.
Apparently Fang's Yiayia wants us all to meet with the rest of the family. Angela told us that their family is very big. Let's just hope that they won't become a stampede and go right through us.
Like I said, all too soon it became time for dinner. The whole (and I mean whole) family came and were now standing and talking in the living room. If I didn't mention it before, than I'll mention it now. This house is so big that you could fit 10 or more full- grown elephants in here! That big!
There were more adults than kids in the family. All of the kids went to play in the back yard (including Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel) while Fang and I had to stay and chat with the rest of the adults. Of course I didn't have to stay with the "elders" but Fang practically begged me. I even pulled the "but I can't speak Greek so I can't talk to them" bit, but Fang said they all spoke English. Great.
So here I am, with my arms around Fang's arm, being dragged off to talk to relatives of the "Fang clan". Every time I said "hi" or "Yiasou" to someone, they would all smile at me and offer me food. I declined the food for now.
After the "reunion", I've learned that if your family is Greek, than they won't take "no" for an answer, especially when it comes to food. I've also learned what the words pretty and beautiful mean in Greek because the men and women said that about me and every time they mentioned it, Fang would blush. It's funny to see him blush because he doesn't show that much emotion, even around me.
About an hour later, we all took our seats at the dinner table. Again, the kids table was separated from the adults table but no one seemed to mind that much. The food was really good. It consisted of lamb, pork, Greek salad, and we all can't forget, feta cheese. It was so good that I was one of the ten to finish first, and there were probably about forty-five to fifty people here!
While waiting for the others to finish, Fang told me a story about how one of his cousins picked up an unusual nut from the ground. Once he picked it up, all of the squirrels started to come out of their hiding spots and chased him for the nut. They even threw stuff at him. One of the things they threw was an opened nut and it hit his cousin in the head. He fell down unconscious after that. At the end of the story, I laughed.
Now, when I laugh, I end up laughing really loudly so that everyone can hear. So of course they hear my horrible laugh and turn towards us. Before they were talking about who knows what. Now, they got their new gossip to talk about… me. And for some reason, they all start to talk about Fang and me. They looked at us and talked in Greek so I wouldn't know what they were saying. Luckily Fang did know so I asked him to translate.
"… they're talking about us… how they think we should get together… my grandparents said that they like you and think that we'd be a great couple?" Fang translated for me, his voice having a hint of surprise in it at the end.
"… Oh…" I didn't really know what to say to that. I mean I'm starting to like him more than a best friend, but I don't know what he thinks about me still. Maybe he just wants us to be friends or maybe he likes me back.
"Yeah…" He says uncomfortably.
After everyone ate dinner, all of the cousins started to leave. We said goodbye to them all. By the time they all left, it was dark out so I sent the kids (including Angela and Nikos) to bed. I was starting to get tired too so I said good night in Greek to Yiayia and Papou. They smiled and said good night back.
A little after I tuck myself to bed, Fang came and got into bed with me. Surprisingly he wrapped his arms around my waist, kissed my cheek, and said good night to me. Me, wide-eyed after what just happened a second ago, said good night back and then fell into a dream-full sleep.
I don't know if I should continue this story or not. It hasn't gotten any reviews in a while so PLEASE REVIEW!
