I fixed my earrings while I plaid my skirt as I stand in front of my mirror. It was our family's Christmas Eve dinner and as a family ritual, we always have to look good for dinner. I want to look good cos Nick is joining us tonight. He even helped mom with our foods for tonight and I was also at the kitchen trying to help.

My mom seems to be fond of Nick which was a good thing since my mom is so hard to please while my dad wasn't really talking to Nick that much. Cameron didn't do anything ridiculous at all while Ingrid keeps teasing me about Nick.

My phone vibrates.

I'm outside your room. - Nick

I quickly ran to my door and opened it. Nick stands there before me, wearing a white polo shirt paired with a black skinny jeans and white sneakers. His hair was always perfectly coiffed and I could smell his manly perfume from where I was standing. I fixed his collar as he looks down on my mouth.

I smile. "Looking good."

"You too." He says.

Then we hear someone clearing his throat. I moved my head to my side and found Cameron standing right across us. Nick quickly pulled himself away from me while he glances at Cameron.

"Mind both of your actions, will you? We're in the same house." He says to us.

Cameron walks away and all of a sudden Nick steals a kiss on my cheek. "Your brother is such a pain in the ass."

I smiled.

"Let's go downstairs. It's almost dinner and dad usually puts up fireworks." I say.

Both of us stumbled our way downstairs and headed out to the backyard where everything was set up. The table was there, the foods were prepared well and cooked beautifully on top while the wine stand was ready too. Both of us joined my parents while they were already sitting down on the table. Nick pulled out a chair for me while he sits down right next to where I am.

"You look lovely my dear." Mom compliments me.

"Thanks mom. You too." I say.

"And wow! You look very handsome Nick." Mom complimented him too.

"Thank you Mrs. Canterbury. You as well." Nick smiled.

"Ahh! Let's eat. I'm famished." Dad says.

All of us started eating the foods before us. Mom and dad starts talking about their experiences while I was away and how things were inside the house when I was in WSU. They asked me how college was and how my studies are doing. They even asked Nick about his and I was impressed that he gets high marks too. He says he's aiming for a company next semester to start for his internship. I was hoping my dad could've offered him but he didn't even do or say anything.

"Well how long have you been single, Nick?" Cameron asked him.

I gave him an eye to warn Cameron.

"Eight years." Nick answered.

Mom seemed shock. "If you don't mind, how old are you?"

"I'm already twenty-four, Mrs. Canterbury. I went to college at the age of 20 cos I needed to save up for it." Nick answers so calmly.

My father's eyebrow shoot up while he takes a sip from his champagne.

"And you haven't had a girlfriend for eight years? Why? What happened? It's hard to forget the last one?" Mom asked.

Nick smirked. "Kind of. A little bit."

"Or maybe you're not what you are and you're hiding something." Cameron is starting being an ass.

I looked at him to warn him again but Nick was holding my hand to calm me down.

"What does that mean?" Dad asked.

"Nothing dad." I say right away.
