Three months had passed. It was the middle of July. Riley and Jesse were dating. Tomorrow Riley and Jesse were flying to Arizona so Riley could meet Jesse's parents. Riley was at home waiting for Jesse to come over. The front door opened. Riley came into the living room. Jesse walked in.

"Hi Jesse." Riley said.

"Hi." They kissed. "Well don't you look beautiful tonight."

"Thank you." They sat down on the couch. "I can't believe next month we'll be back at school already."

"I know." "When I was a kid summer seemed to go by slow." "Now it seems like it's over before it begins."

"Did you hear from Courtney about the opening for the tenth grade science teacher?"

"Yep." "I got the job."

"That's great."

"I'm gonna teach science in the mornings until lunch." "Then I'll teach drama the rest of the day."

"You'll have the little girls swooning all over you." She said jokingly.

"I might but I'm only interested in the hot English teacher I've been seeing."

"Yeah?"

"Uh-huh."

"Are you hungry?" "I saved you a plate."

"You didn't have to."

"It was no trouble."

"I am pretty hungry."

"I'll go heat it up for you." She went to get up. Jesse stopped her.

"I'll get it." He kissed her and went into the kitchen.

They were upstairs in her bedroom. She was packing for the trip. The suitcase was on the edge of the bed. Jesse was sitting up by the headboard.

"Ok that's everything." Riley said. "Maybe I should check the bathroom again."

"We're only gonna be gone one day."

"I know."

"You're nervous aren't you?"

"Yeah."

"Come here." He moved over so she could sit down next to him. She sat down. "There's nothing to be nervous about." "Everything's gonna be great."

"I know." "I just haven't done this for a long time."

"Were you this nervous when you met your ex's parents?"

"I never met my ex's parents."

"Never?"

"No." "It was a good relationship but not a very healthy one."

"He wasn't abusive or anything was he."

"No." "It was nothing like that."

"Well let's see you're nervous." "I wonder what I can do to relax you?" He kissed her. She kissed him back. He laid her down underneath him.

"Jesse, honey." "We can't, not tonight." She said in-between kisses.

"Why not?"

"We have to get up early."

"Don't worry about that."

"Ok."

The next morning at around eleven Riley and Jesse pulled into the driveway of his parents home. They went into the house. Jesse's parents stood up.

"Mom." Jesse said. They hugged. "Dad." They hugged.

"Riley these are my parents." "Pam and Chris." "Mom, dad this is Riley."

"So this is Riley?" Pam said. "It's so nice to finally meet you."

"It's nice to meet you to." Riley said.

Later that afternoon they were all out in the backyard.

"Well what do you know." Jesse said. "There's Mrs. Garcia." "I haven't talked to her in a few years." "Come on Riley I'll introduce you."

"Ok." Riley said.

They walked across the yard to Mrs. Garcia's patio.

"Hi Mrs. Garcia." Jesse said. "Do you remember me?"

"Jesse."

"Yes." "This is my girlfriend Riley."

"It's nice to meet you."

"Nice meeting you to." Riley said.

"My daughter and her boyfriend are here." "You remember Nikki right Jesse?"

"Yes I do." Jesse said.

Riley heard the patio door open behind her. She and Jesse both turned around. Riley couldn't believe who she saw. It was John and a woman she recognized very well. Except she knew her as Nikki Bella not Nikki Garcia.

"Jesse it's been years since I've seen you." Nikki said. "This is my boyfriend John."

"Nice to meet you John." Jesse said. "This is my girlfriend Riley."

"Hi Riley." John said.

"Hi John." Riley said.

"I have an idea." Mrs. Garcia said. "Jesse, why don't you, Riley and your parents, join me Nikki and John for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds like fun." "I'll ask my parents."

Jesse's parents agreed to come. They were cooking so everyone was outside. It was now nighttime. Riley just wanted the dinner to be over. She was extremely uncomfortable. Riley was upstairs in the bathroom. When she came out John was waiting in the hall waiting for her.

"I need to talk to you." John said.

"No we have nothing to talk about."

"I love you." "I miss you."

"John stop it." "I have a boyfriend now." "I'm happy."

"Are you?"

"Yes I finally have the relationship I wanted." "One where I can actually meet my boyfriend's parents."

"You know why you couldn't meet my parents."

"Yeah because you love Nikki more then me."

"I love you Riley."

"John."

"Do you still love me?"

"No."

"No?" He came closer to her. Her back was against the wall. He went to kiss her. She pulled back.

"No John." "I'm not doing this again." She went downstairs.
