Jessa’s POV

Oh gosh, tonight’s the night. Zayn’s actually meeting daddy and the guys. This is going to be so crazy.

I looked into the mirror and looked at my body, my clothes. My jeans and band tank expressed who I really am while my brain went crazy. I ran my fingers through my waist-length hair that was straightened and watched it fall.

“I’ve always thought you're hair was beautiful.” My moms voice startled me.

“How long have you been standing there?” I asked seeing her walk in and close the door.

“Not very long.” She shrugged. “I want to say sorry for the other night. I was acting rude for no reason.”

“It’s okay.” I took my phone out of my back pocket and sat down next to her. “I had a nice time the other night.”

“That’s nice. Did you…?”

“No, I slept on the couch.” I shook my head.

“I know that I have no say in what you do but please just be careful, okay?” She watched me nod as she stood up. “And by the way, you look great.”

“Thanks mom.” I smiled at her as my phone vibrated, I saw that it was Zayn so I answered it. “Hey.”

“Hey, I’m almost to your house.” He sounded nervous. “Will you come out so I don’t have to knock or be awkward?”

“Sure.” I laughed standing up. “I’ll be right out.”

I hung up and slipped my Van’s on while my mom watched me. She moved out of my way after I grabbed my phone and started for the door. I ran down the stairs and walked outside as he stepped out of his car. He walked over to me with a bouquet of roses.

“You look nice.” I complimented him.

“Thanks. You look great.” He leaned down and kissed my cheek.

“Thank you.” I smiled and headed for the door but we stopped on the porch. “You have nothing to worry about, dad and the guys have already had a beer so they’re in a good mood and my mom’s in a great mood.”

“I’m still nervous but thank you.” He smiled and fixed his shirt.

“Ready?” I asked and got a nod as an answer. “Let’s go then.”

I opened the door and he closed it when he was inside. We both took a deep breath and then saw my mom come downstairs.

“Hi, you must be Zayn?” She smiled at him. “I’m Chelsea.”

“It’s nice to meet you, these are for you.” He offered her the flowers and she took them with a polite smile.

“Thank you. Come on, let’s go to the kitchen.” She led us to the kitchen where we found Jaime cutting veggies for salad.

“Hey Spike.” He turned around as I spoke. “Zayn, this is Jaime. Jaime, this is Zayn.”

“I would shake your hand but my hands are dirty.” Jaime chuckled. “But it’s nice to meet you.”

“You too.” Zayn smiled as I took his hand.

“They’re all outback if you want to go, I’m gonna stay and help Jaime.” My mom rolled up her sleeves and started helping him while I led Zayn outside.

I took a deep breath as I held the door handle. This is it. I opened the door and walked out with him following me. Mike was working the grill while my dad and Vic sat at the table.

“Hey guys.” I got their attention and they all stood.

“Tony.” My dad said as he shook Zayn’s hand.

“It’s nice to meet you, I’m Zayn.” Zayn sounded nervous.

“I’m Vic and that’s Mike.” Vic shook Zayn’s hand while pointing to Mike and he waved.

“Can we get past all the awkward introductions so I can give him a tour of the house please?” I asked trying to break the tension.

“Yea, go ahead. We can talk at dinner.” My dad waved us off.

“15 ‘til dinner!” Mike called as we walked back into the house.


Tony’s POV

“I like the kid.” I laughed out before taking another drink of my beer.

“Yea, me too.” Jaime agreed with a smile.

“He seems a little too perfect.” Chelsea’s words were slurred; she was smashed.

“I’m with her on this.” Vic was always protective of Jessa. “He just seems too nice.”

“Maybe if you give it more time and get to know him, you’ll see that he’s a good kid.” I shrugged standing up. “More beer anyone? Wine?”

“Yes!”

I walked back into the house chuckling and found Jessa and Zayn doing the dinner dishes. He was washing while she dried and put away.

“Hey, you guys don’t have to do those.” I closed the sliding glass door behind me. “leave those for us to do tomorrow and come hangout with us outside.” I threw the beer bottles in the garbage.

“Mom’s too drunk to be good company.” She rolled her eyes and looked at me. “It’s embarrassing dad.”

“I know but she’s just having fun. You can have a few tonight if you want.” I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a few more beers and the wine bottle.

“Sweet! You get to see me drunk.” She laughed turning the water off and handed the towel to Zayn. “Let’s go outside so I can drink.”

“This should be interesting.” Zayn mumbled drying his hands off.

“Grab a beer if you want one and Zayn, you can have one too if you want.” I opened the door and walked back outside.


Jessa’s POV

“So, what’d you think of him?” I asked picking up the beer bottles that were all over the backyard.

“I like him, he seems like a good kid.” My dad shrugged.

“Dad” I got his attention. “Do you approve?”

“Yes, I approve.” He smiled as I started jumping up and down. “And so do the guys.”

“Yay!” I cheered making him laugh.

“Sis, you're drunk and you have work in the morning; get some sleep.” He took the bag from my hand and set it down. “Seriously, go to bed.”

“Fine.” I sighed wrapping my arms around him. “I love you.”

“Love you too.” He mumbled into my hair. “Now go to bed.”

“Goodnight daddy.” I waved skipping to the door.

“Goodnight Sissy.” He kept laughing as I walked inside.
