It was Friday, tomorrow would be the family get together of the Vega and the Johnson families. Trina was currently a nervous wreck, while Leo, while nervous was trying to calm her down.
"Trina please, relax, it's not that bad".
"No that bad, I've never met anyone in your family apart from your parents, what if they don't like me?"
Leo smiled and kissed her before responding.
"Well, that's their problem then".
That was enough for Trina to relax slightly. Tori smiled and spoke.
"So guys, who's going to be at this little gathering".
Leo smiled and explained.
"Naturally my Mom and Dad, my Aunt Luda, Uncle Monty, they run a butcher shop together. My uncle Charlie, he's a Korean War Veteran, oh yeah my cousin Tommy might be there along with his girlfriend Malorie".
"Cool".
There was a brief silence and then Leo spoke again.
"I should probably tell you guys just now, Tommy was born with this strange disease, it's ruined his face and he can't speak".
"Oh, poor guy".
"So, how does his girlfriend and others know what he's trying to tell them?"
Leo smiled.
"He either uses an electronic keyboard that talks for him, sometimes his expressions make it easy to understand, or he writes down what he wants to say...Despite that he's always been the life of any party he's been at".
"Can't wait to meet him".
Leo smiled.
As they spoke Tori's phone rang, she answered it.
"Hello, hi Andre...Yeah we're talking about that just now, okay, I'll see you later then".
Tori turned back to them and smiled, Leo then asked.
"So, what's your family like".
Trina's smile widened.
"Well, likewise, you've met our parents, I think our Aunt Mary and Uncle Donny will be there".
Trina looked over at Tori who thought.
"Aunt Rachel, our cousins Francis and Declan...I think Grandpa's coming too".
"Cool".
Leo smiled.
"They sound nice, what are they like?"
Trina continued to explain.
"Mary's a leading fashion designer, Donny's a tailor, Rachel's the life of any party, a bit like your cousin".
"Cool".
There was silence for a moment and then, Leo noticed Tori's expression.
"Something wrong Tori?"
"I was just thinking, about Grandpa, I'm just glad he changed his life around, otherwise it would be pretty awkward for me to tell him I'm dating Andre".
Trina nodded, understanding, Leo however was confused, Tori continued.
"Our Grandfather used to a member of the KKK".
"Oh...Wait, used to be?"
Tori nodded and explained.
"Yeah, he was in a car accident, his car caught fire, he was saved by two African American men. When he realized who had saved he broke away from the Klan and changed his life around completely, became an activist for civil rights and has been against Racism ever since".
"Wow".
Tori nodded, eventually, after talking about their families a bit more Leo prepared to head home, after kissing Trina he left and after that Trina noticed the way Tori was smiling at her.
"What?"
"I've just gotta say, you've changed Trina, I mean, you used to be vain and all that, but look at you now".
Trina nodded.
"Yeah, it's just...I noticed the way was acting and I realized that I had to change, otherwise I was just gonna push everyone away for good, so I had to say to myself enough was enough, I had to stop caring only about myself".
"Look what it's done for you though, you're about to get married".
"Yeah, here's hoping everything goes well when we met his family though".
Tori nodded still smiling, she was sure that, no matter how nervous Trina was, there was nothing to worry about, everything would be fine.
