Chapter 31

Chapter 31:

We were just now pulling up to Kendall's parents house with many cars were in the huge drive way. Kendall squeezed his car between two huge Dodge Ram trucks with Kansas and Georgia license plates. "I'm gonna throw up." I mumbled as we got out of the car. I waited as Kendall grabbed my purse out of the back seat for me as smiled at me.

"Drama queen." He teased. We had already checked into the hotel dropping off our one suitcase, so I had no excuse not to go in. We walked up the driveway which lead to a huge yet modest house, I felt a lump in my throat as I threw my purse over my shoulder and held onto Kendall's hand. We made it to the front door which then opened before Kendall could knock.

"Kendall!" A similar blonde boy exclaimed. His hair was spiked up in the front very much like Kendall's, but he was much shorter than Kendall. He opened the door wider and stepped aside. We got into the entry way, when the guy turned and hugged Kendall.

"Kevin, it's been what a month or two since I've seen you last?" Kendall greeted.

"Yeah I know! Hey, stop being rude and introduce and take your lady's coat little bro!" Kevin instructed Kendall to do. Kendall helped me out of my coat as I rubbed my left arm nervously.

"Kevin, this is my girlfriend Roberta. Bobby for short. Bobby this is Kevin my older brother." Kendall said taking off his own coat. Kevin reached out his hand and shook mine.

"Nice to meet you Kevin." I smiled.

"Wow nice smile. Nice to meet you too Bobby. Cute nickname." He winked. Then once we were good in the empty entry way we were then introduced to the first section of people, mainly being men.

"Dad!" Kendall exclaimed running up to an older gentleman. "Dad, this is my girlfriend Roberta." He said hugging me from the side as his father reached out his hand and shook it gently.

"Nice to meet you sir." I smiled. He nodded. He wasn't really the talking type it seemed.

"Nice to meet you as well Roberta." He smiled back.

"Oh please call me Bobby." I told him. He nodded. We went around meeting plenty of Kendall's family when it came to the one meeting I had dreaded most. His mom. We had barely walked into the kitchen when an eruption of excitement broke out.

"Oh my! Kendall! Bobby! You're here!" A short blonde and grey haired woman exclaimed. She made her way through the group of women around her and hugged Kendall. "Hi Bobby." She said pulling away from her son and smiling at me. "I'm Kathy, Kendall's mom." She smiled at me. I reached out my hand to shake hers but she brought me into a hug. "It's so nice to finally meet you!" She said holding onto my shoulders looking into my eyes. "Karen come look at Bobby's eyes. She has gorgeous eyes, just like Kendal! And they're matching!" She said to a woman whom was smaller and more petite than Kathy, obviously named Karen.

"Hey I'm Karen, Kendall's aunt." She smiled at me. Everyone was so nice I didn't know what to do with myself. Kendall however was in conversation with another male in the room.

"This is my brother Kenneth, Kenneth, this is my girlfriend Bobby." Kendall announced. I nodded and shook his hand as Kathy soon stole my attention again.

"Here! Let me go get you something! I have a line, you'll love it." She smiled hobbling out of the kitchen. Kendall could tell I was a bit overwhelmed and pulled me aside to the kitchen table where no one was seated until we sat down.

"You okay so far babe?" Kendall asked sitting me down. I nodded. He smiled and squeezed my hand as a flash went off. Kathy was there with a phone like Kendall and mine taking a picture of Kendall and mines private moment.

"Sorry kids. Oh, here Bobby. I have something for you." She said handing me a red box. I accepted it and slowly opened it. It was a dog tag, I'm assuming a Choose 180 dog tag. I picked it up and looked at it it read: 'Find your passion and run with it; anything is possible. -K3'.

"That's my quote. It's my moms brand, but I had a little bit to do with this tag." Kendall said. I smiled and put it back in the box. I hugged Kathy.

"Thank you so much. I love it." I smiled at her.

"No problem dear." She smiled back at me. Something about her made me think of my own mother, which was pretty amazing, and which made me want to stay close to her.
