Somebody to Love
Chapter 15
The time has come for Marc and I to meet each other's parents and I had to admit that I was a nervous wreck. I have no idea how he is feeling about meeting mine, but I shouldn't worry too much about that. We're heading to Quebec early tomorrow morning, then late Christmas Eve, we'll fly back to Pittsburgh and drive to where I grew up.
"Bella?" he asked as I finished packing my suitcase.
"Yeah?" I said turning around to face him.
"Are you nervous?"
He must've noticed my facial expression and the way I was speaking.
"I'm a nervous wreck actually."
I was a little shaky too. He noticed this and pulled me into a hug.
"There's really no need to be nervous."
"I know. I just can't help it."
"Do you wanna sit down?"
I nodded before proceeding to sit and take a deep breath.
"Feeling any better?"
"A little, but I'm still nervous."
"Just remember that my mom's excited to meet you."
"I will."
The following morning, we're aboard a plane that would make the short flight to Quebec. I leaned my head on Marc's shoulder and quickly fell asleep. I felt my shoulder being shook minutes later, which irritated me because I hate being woken up by others.
"What?" I grumbled.
"We're here."
I woke up, rubbed my eyes and we grabbed our belongings and headed off the plane.
"Your sister's picking us up, right?" I asked as we made our way down to where she would be.
"Yep."
It didn't take us long to find his sister and she waved once she saw us.
"Marylene, this is Bella. Bella, this is Marylene."
"Nice to meet you." she said shaking my hand.
"Nice to meet you too." I said with a smile.
"It's off to a good start. You two like each other." Marc said.
"Are you surprised?" Marylene asked.
I laughed.
"No, but..."
"Marc. Shut up."
I kissed him on the cheek and he blushed.
"You two are adorable."
The trip to their parents' house went relatively fast. My nerves had calmed the fuck down and I was feeling completely better to both Marc and I's relief. After we walked inside, I noticed his parents in the living room waiting for us.
"Mom, Dad, this is Bella."
I lightly waved as we moved into the living room.
"Nice to meet you." his dad said, shaking my hand.
"Nice to meet you too."
"Pleasure to meet you." I said, shaking her hand.
She got up and hugged me and greeted me.
"Pleasure to meet you as well." she said after we stopped hugging.
I sat down on the love-seat beside Marc across from his parents and his sister.
"So Marc, how did you two meet?" his mom asked.
"I met her when I brought season tickets to her house. She lives in the same neighborhood, actually."
"Really? That's so cute." she responded.
"Did that happen by chance or..." Marylene asked.
"Actually, my best friend, who actually doesn't like hockey, set it up and tried to act surprised when I told her about what happened that day."
Everyone laughed. Marc squeezed my hand and gave me a smile.
"So, Bella, how long have you lived in Pittsburgh?" his dad asked.
"Since the beginning of September. I moved because of a new job."
"What's that?"
"An elementary music teacher." I said with a huge smile.
"Sounds like you enjoy it." his sister said.
"I love it. I couldn't ask for a better job."
After about ten minutes of conversation, Marc and I went to put our belongings in his bedroom that I was excited to see.
"How are you feeling?" he asked as we sat down on his bed.
"Pretty good. Your family is amazing."
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"I told you that you had nothing to worry about."
"I know. I was just being weird for some odd reason." I said shrugging.
"That's okay."
"Are you nervous about meeting my parents?"
"Maybe a little bit. Why?"
"Just wondering. Anyway, my brother is so excited to meet you, especially since he didn't have a chance to meet you when he came up to visit me with his girlfriend."
"I'm excited to meet him too."
I kissed him on the cheek and he blushed.
"I love you." I said.
" I love you too."
A couple hours later, we ate a nice lunch while we went for a ride around town. After we got back in the car, my phone vibrated; I wondered who would be texting me during this visit. I opened up my phone to find a text from Ally, which caused me to smile.
Hey girl.
Hey. What's up?
I heard that you were coming home tomorrow, so Marc can meet your parents. Is that true?
I silently laughed.
Yes. It's true. lol. Do you miss me?
Of course I do! I can't wait till tomorrow! YAY!!
You are hilarious! I love you.
Thank you. I love you too.
Um... I'd love to talk to you, but I'm going around town with Marc and his family.
Oh...ok. See you tomorrow!
See ya! :)
Marc nudged me.
"Sorry. That was Ally. She heard that I was coming to visit tomorrow."
"She would text you at this time, wouldn't she?"
"Yes. She's so predictable."
"Who's this Ally girl?" Marylene asked.
"She's my best friend from back home. She's the one who got me season tickets."
"Cool." she said with a laugh.
I just laid my head on Marc's shoulder as we drove around for a while longer. By the time we got back, it was time for an early Christmas dinner since Marc was home. I was a little sad that after tonight, we had to leave, but I was happy at the same time. I fixed myself in the bathroom before sitting beside him at the dinner table. He kissed my cheek as everyone else sat down; I blushed.
"You need to stop being so sweet." I said giggling.
"I don't think that you'd enjoy that very much."
"You're right."
He smirked. I playfully hit his shoulder.
"Are you excited about tomorrow?" his mom asked him.
"Very excited, actually."
I smiled.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah."
I nodded.
A few hours after dinner, Marc and I changed and laid down at the foot of his bed. I was busy thinking about how tomorrow was going to go.
"Are you anxious?" he asked.
"You can tell that by just looking at me?"
"I know by your body language."
"Yeah. I can't stop thinking about tomorrow. It's driving me crazy."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" he said looking straight at me.
"I don't know."
He thought for a second then kissed me.
"Does that help?"
"A little bit. How about another kiss?"
He kissed me again before we sat up at the top of his bed and I sat in his lap. A few kisses lead to a serious make-out session, but I knew that we wouldn't let it go any farther than that.
"What's on your mind now?" he asked with a smirk.
"You and those gorgeous lips of yours."
He blushed slightly.
"You wanna go to sleep?"
"I do. I'm exhausted."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
After bidding goodnight to one another, we fell asleep rather quickly for the long, interesting day that was ahead of us.
"Bella?" he asked as I finished packing my suitcase.
"Yeah?" I said turning around to face him.
"Are you nervous?"
He must've noticed my facial expression and the way I was speaking.
