"I'm so nervous." Gleyber admitted quietly from my passengers side. I was taking him to meet my parents. We have been dating for 5 months now and things are going great, so I really wanted him to meet my family, which he agreed to do.

He placed his hand on my knee, rubbing it gently as he hummed to a song on the radio. I don't know if the hand on the knee was an attempt to call him down or myself.

I was a little nervous. My whole life I've always been my dad's little girl, so I'm kind of worried that he isn't going to approve of Gleyber. He has expressed his disinterest in Gleyber's profession and his lack of presence, but I knew getting into a relationship with Gleyber that he couldn't be around near as much as I would like him to.

But none of that matters to me because Gleyber and I are extremely happy together. I leaned over the console and kissed Gleyber's cheek softly as I approached a stop sign. He gave me a warm smile, which I returned.

I turned onto the street where my family lived and started turning into the driveway. Gleyber squeezed my knee out of nerves and I turned off the car, placing my hand on top of his. "Baby, my parents are going to love you. You're an amazing guy and you're perfect for me, okay? You have nothing to worry about." I assured him and he nodded.

He placed his hand on my cheek and I leaned into his touch out of habit. I kissed his palm and he leaned in and kissed me slowly. I pulled away and smiled, opening my car door. "Time to go in." I told him and he started fidgeting with his hands.

He stepped out of the car and I held his hand as I walked to the door. I knocked and then let myself in and my ears were filled with the barks of my beloved dog, Cassie. "My baby!" I yelled, bending down to pet her. She kissed my face all over. I hadn't seen her in about a month.

"Typical Maggie, is more excited to see the dog than her family." My mother's voice appeared and I smiled, giving her a big hug. "Hi, mommy. This is Gleyber." I told her, gesturing towards Gleyber who squeezed my hand. "Hi honey! It's so nice to meet you! I'm (Y/M/N), you're even more handsome in person than you are in pictures!" My mom gushed causing me and Gleyber both to blush.

My mom engulfed Gleyber in a hug, causing him to lose his balance but he immediately hugged her back. My mother is an incredibly kind and welcoming person, so it's no surprise she gave him such a warm response.

"Hello son, it's nice to meet you. I'm (Y/D/N)." My dad gave Gleyber a look over and gave him a strong handshake, Gleyber clearly growing intimidated. I introduced him to my younger brother Wesley and they immediately engaged in a conversation about baseball which caused me to smile. Wesley didn't believe me when he first found out I was dating the Gleyber Torres.

I started catching up my mom over what had happened in the past month that I didn't already tell her. Then before we knew it, it was time to eat.

The dinner went really good. My brother was practically drooling over Gleyber the entire time, I've never seen him so kind and helpful in his life. After it was all over, I stood up to help my mom with the dishes. I was loading the dishwasher when I felt arms around my waist. I turned around and found Gleyber smiling down at me.

"Go sit down you two, I'll take care of it." He told me and I shook my head. "Babe, we've got it. It's no big deal." I assured him and he shook his head. "Nope. You two pretty ladies need to go sit down and put your feet up." He told me and I smiled. "Okay, I guess." I groaned jokingly and he smiled, kissing my cheek.

When I saw my dad get up to help Gleyber, my heart quickly raced. I was worried he was going to say something to him and scare him away. I figured I would ask Gleyber when we left.

So once we got in the car and we departed my parents driveway, I asked him. "What did my dad say to you? Did he scare you away?" I asked him and he shook his head. "Nope. He was definitely scary, but he didn't scare me away." He told me and I shook my head.

"Babe, I'm so sorry," I started and he shook his head. "Maggie, it's no big deal. Seriously. He's just protective over you, it's okay. Nothing will run me away from you, quite honestly even if your dad told me I couldn't be with you." She told me, placing his hand on my thigh. I laughed at his statement.

No matter what anyone thought, we're Maggie and Gleyber. We can make it through anything.
