25. You are enjoying this, aren't you?

I love Devin and Andi's car. We didn't start driving until late in the evening so it's dark outside, but I have the most amazing view ever. They have this big sunroof and I can see how beautiful the sky looks, all the stars shining and the moon so bright that everything is lighten up.


I am sitting in the middle of the backseat with Riley holding onto my arm, resting her head on my shoulder. I wish she could feel what I am feeling right now, because it's very romantic the way it looks outside. So beautiful, just like the girl next to me. 


I lay my hand on the inside of Riley's thigh and she shivers as I squeeze, which makes me chuckle very low. I don't want to bring attention to ourselves.


Riley moves back, letting my arm go as she wrinkles her nose, god, how much I love seeing that.


"What are you doing?" She whispers, but don't take my hand away from her.


"Nothing." I whisper back as I lean in to taste her lovely lips. My heart weakens as she sucks on my lower lip, but then I feel the car break hard and Riley bites down, making me wince in pain.


"Not funny, mom!" Riley says annoyed as I suck on my lower lip, which is bleeding. Devin and Andi are both laughing and I watch Riley wrinkle her nose again.


"Are you okay?" Riley asks, worried as I move my thumb over my lip.


"I think so." I smile as I lay my head on her shoulder this time.


"Did you get hurt?" Devin wonders worried, looking back for a moment before her eyes go back to the road.


"No, I'm fine." I promise and lay my hand back on Riley's thigh, stroking her with my thumb. I can still taste the blood in my mouth and feel the wound she gave me. 


I close my eyes for a moment, just to relax until we get there. I am so nervous about meeting all of those people. Her grandmothers, uncles, aunts and her cousins. It's so many people in her family. 


Andi has three brothers and one sister and then there is their partners and children. Ethan and Nathan are twin brothers, they are adopted and they are older.


Ethan is a lawyer and has a daughter named Lindsay, who is nineteen. She is the only child he has. Apparently, Lindsay's mother left after she was born and Ethan hasn't really found someone after that. 


Riley told me that he cares so much about Lindsay that he do not want anyone else to take his attention away from her, which sounds very adorable.


Nathan has two children with his wife, Judith. Autumn she is at the same age with me and then there is Lucas who is twelve. Nathan and his family lives in the city, so he will not come until tomorrow.


Jace, Andi's twin brother was a drummer for this band, but now he produces records for other bands, which sounds like an awesome job. He has a son, but the boy's mother won't let Jace see Cato. So Jace struggles everyday just to see his ten-year-old boy. 


Alex the youngest of them all has an eight-year-old girl named Katlin with her boyfriend, Edwin. I'm glad Riley told me all of that, so I know and am prepared for what is coming.


I chew on my lower lip as I squeeze her thigh again, making her move uncomfortable.


"Stop." She chuckles, trying to remove my hand, but she is too weak.


"No." I whisper in her ear. Then I kiss her on the nose as she wrinkle it again. It's so cute to look at her, when she is trying to hide her irritation.


"You are beautiful." I whisper to her, she crinkles her nose once more, but the shy smile comes on her face. Showing me my favorite dimples. I cup her cheek and plant a hard, long kiss on her skin, but I wince by the wound on my lip.


"You okay?" Riley asks worried.


"Yeah." I smile.


"Babe, calm down." Riley chuckles, which makes me roll my eyes.


"I am calm." I say annoyed as we walk arm in arm up to the front door.


"No, you are shaking." She smiles.


"You are enjoying this, aren't you?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. Riley sucks on her lip to hide her grin.


"It's going to be fine." She promise me with her warm smile and a kiss on my cheek. Her lips make me take a deep breath to relax, but I know I am not the only one that is nervous. 


Devin is almost shaking, just as me, but she is better to hide it. It's funny to know it is not just me that is sacred, but that the woman who frightens me is almost freaking out. Andi opens the front door, but give Devin a kiss on the cheek before we step inside.


I can feel the tension flowing through my body once we get into the warm big house. I look around, seeing how cozy it is. The walls with a nice white color filed with pictures of the family. It's not very much light on, except for the candles that are almost everywhere.


"Drew?"


"Hmm?" I say and watch my girl.


"Are we just going to stand here?" She chuckles and I snort as I roll my eyes of myself.


"I was just looking around," I lean down to kiss her temple.


"I'm ready." I whisper and start walking with my girl towards the sound of laughter and joyful voices. Once we come into the living room, they all stare at us. 


My cheeks turn red right away. I wish I were the one that couldn't see now. I don't know what to do. Riley is the one that has to do something. This is her big family. 


I think it is her grandmothers that are sitting next to each other. One of them with the youngest girl on their lap, which must be Katli.


Alex and Edwin's daughter is sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace. Then I see an older guy which must be Ethan and the girl next to him must be Lindsay his daughter, she has brown, light hair.


"Hello." Lindsay smile to us.


"Hello." I say shyly, holding onto my girl's arm for dear life. I am trembling and I know Riley knows.


"Come and sit." One of Riley's grandmothers says, patting on the seat next to her. I take a soundless breath as I start moving Riley and me towards them and sit down.


I shake hands with most of them that are close to me, except Alex and Edwin, but I smile to them with a nod. I sit here holding onto Riley's arm. She is my safety right now. Shit, I forgot our bags in the car. I guess I can get them later.


"So Drew, how are you?" I look at Skylar, Riley's grandmother and next to her sits Hunter her wife.


"I'm fine." I smile to her and she nods.


"That's good, maybe Riley can show you the way to your room." She says and I look at my girl who nods right away. I stand up with Riley and l leade her back to the hallway where the stairs I saw before.


"I need to go out to the car and grab our bags, is that okay?" I ask her.


"Of course it is." She chuckles. I kiss her forehead before grabbing my shoes and step back out to the coldness. The first thing I am going to do when we reach our room is to jump under the duvet and get the warmth in my body. 


I open the trunk, taking out things and find my way back inside to my girl, who still standing there waiting for me. I smile as I take her hand in mine.


"You are cold." She complains, which makes me roll my eyes.


"I know. Is it upstairs we are going?" I wonder, but she shakes her head.


"No, on they make this place for me down here, because the stairs have been an issue to me." She shrugs, sadly. I nod to myself as I squeeze her hand.


"It's further down the hall, if you can see it?" She wonder.


"Okay." I smile as I start walking with her and our bags over my shoulders.


"Is it the first one or the seconds on to the left?" I ask and she answers the second. She follows me inside and I notice that this is not really a bedroom, but a TV room.


There is a couple of mattresses on the floor for us, which is completely fine. It's nice. I lay our bags on the floor and then grab my girl by her sweater, taking her with me on our cozy bed.


"Drew!" She laughs. I hold her tight in my arms and kiss the top of her head.


"Just lie still." I say nuzzling in her hair, listening to her chuckles and feel her kiss my cheek. This feels so good, just to know that this girl is in my arms. I move my hands down her waist and then grab her butt.


"Drew!" She shouts my name and I laugh.


"Sorry, I just want to touch you." I smile, squeezing her butt harder.


"Stop it." She chuckles and slap my shoulder.


"Never." I whisper, causing her to wrinkle her nose.


"It's my butt." She says, causing me to grin.


"Yeah, but you are mine, which means this," I squeeze her one more time.


"Is mine." I explain, making Riley laugh.


"Who said I was yours?" She asks which takes the smile away from my face.


"Um, I-I..."


"I was kidding, Drew." She reach out her tongue to me, but I just roll my eyes annoyed.


"Can we lay here until tomorrow?" I wonder, begging. I am too tired to move and I don't want to talk to anyone, but to the one that is lying above me. Riley yawns as she nods.


"Good." I smile and kiss her forehead.
