We’re at my apartment right now and Spencer is trying to talk me into going over her house tomorrow for Sunday dinner. She really wants me to meet her dad, he sounds nice but I really don’t want to go to this dinner.

“You promised you’d come.” She says moving away from me on the couch.

“I did not. I promised I’d think about it, and I did. My answer is no.” She doesn’t say anything just stares at me, its making me real nervous. Another minute goes by and she still hasn’t said anything, I can’t take it anymore. “Spence?”

“Ashley can you please do this for me? Please.”

“Why do I have to go? Your family doesn’t even know were together.” We’ve been dating for two weeks now and no one knows. She’s not ready to come out now and I’m okay with that, I’ll be here when she’s ready.

“Is that why you don’t want to go because my family don’t know were together? What you’re not going to come till they know about us?” I move so were I’m sitting right in front of her. She knows that’s not what I meant she’s just trying to find something to use to make me go, so she’s trying to twist my words.

“Come on Spence. You know that’s not what I meant. Its just I’m not good with parents, I don’t want them to think I’m crazy or something and not want you to hang out with me anymore.” I tell her truthfully. She takes both of my hands and hers and intertwines them and puts them in her lap.

“That’s not going to happen. My mom already likes you, and my dads the nicest man yall ever meet. And what my brother thinks really doesn’t matter. So…Will you please come to dinner tomorrow?” She’s right her mom is always nice to me when she comes to pick up Spencer after work, so I guess I can get through a dinner with the women.

“Okay, I’ll go t…” Before I can finish what I’m saying she’s tackling me onto the couch in a hug. “Does a kiss come with this hug?” She smiles at me before giving me a quick kiss then and getting up, to start getting her stuff to go home.

“My mom should be outside in a minute. Walk me down?” I get up and walk over to her and give her a kiss on the cheek.

“Of course, I should be getting my car pretty soon. Then you can stay over later and I’ll be able to take you home.” I say while we walk to my apartment door.

 “Yeah, can’t wait till that happens. Now kiss me before we go down to meet my mom.”

I didn’t have to be told twice. We shared a nice goodbye kiss then I walked her down to her mom’s car. She told her mom that I would be joining them for Sunday dinner.

“That great, you’ll finally get to meet more of Spencer’s family instead of just her crazy mom.” Her mom says with a big smile on her face.

“Well from what Spencer tells me, they sound just as nice as you. So I can’t wait.”

We talked for a minute longer before her mom’s say it’s getting late. Spencer got into the car and we all said our goodbyes. I watched them drive away before I went into my apartment to get ready for bed. All I could think about was the dinner I will be having with Spencer’s family and how I hope her Dad is as truly nice as she says he is. Well I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
