“There you guys are.” Georgie said, back to her normal self, at least from the outside. Anybody could see from her red and swollen eyes she was sad.
“You ok Georgie?” I asked gently. Then a fresh batch of tears threatened to spill over. I gave her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek and she smiled at me.
“So what happened?” Jake asked sighing and lighting up a new cigarette. All 3 of us were sitting on the balcony.
“Names were thrown around; she blamed us kids for her problems. The usual.” She answered jadedly.
I realised they probably wanted to talk alone, about this secret they were all carrying. So I walked inside to find Nathan. He and Chelsea had yet to move, but I looked outside and Lesley was yelling at Martine.
“Hey.” I said sitting back down at the table.
“Hey...God what a horrible weekend.” Nate said.
“I get it. Every family has drama and shitty times. This is just a hard time for all of you.” I said and Chelsea laughed sarcastically.
“Paris every day is a crappy day when we’re around her. Nothing but shitty times.” She said and smiled apologetically at me, I returned the smile.
“Nate, I think maybe I should go. I mean obviously there is some family stuff that needs to be worked out. I can just get the train back.” I said.
“No, I am coming home too. Will just drive back together.” He said.
“I think maybe you should stay. Try to have a normal chat with your mum, as long as the rest of the family is here.” I said and Chelsea agreed, “Nathan you know she’s right. This needs to be sorted out while all of us are here.”
“I agree, but I am not letting you get the train home.” He said.
“Trains are fine. Seriously ill be home in two hours. You CAN drive me to the train station though.” I said.
He let out a loud sigh and I knew I would get my way, “Fine...trains come every hour so ill drive you.” He said pulling me in for a hug. I ran upstairs to pack my bags up and just get out. It had been an ok weekend, yesterday was amazing but I knew that I needed to go, so they could sort stuff out.
I said my goodbyes to everyone, and they all told me how much they liked me. Lesley gave me an extra tight hug and Jake too. Georgie told me she would see me in the city. Chelsea whispered thank you in my ear, I’m pretty sure it was for convincing Nate to stay a little longer.
We were sitting in Nate’s car waiting for the train, the silence was deafening.
“Are you ok?” I asked, he was unusually quiet and I knew he was upset but I wanted to know if there was anything I could do.
“I feel horrible, you’re just getting on a train home and you’ve had a crap weekend and argh I don’t know...” He said, not looking at me.
“Hey, it wasn’t bad. I loved your family and the wedding was amazing, and I understand that you need time with them Nate. I know you don’t want to talk about it, but it looks like the issues run pretty deep with all of you guys.” I said.
He shook his head at me, “God you’re amazing you know that, I...if this happened when Katie was around, well it would have been a million times worse.” He said. I don’t know why but I felt a little pang of jealousy, why did Nathans mum hate me so much? When she apparently just adored Kate... I obviously didn’t let Nathan see this or it would have made him actually feel a million times worse.
So I just kissed him and for the third time he told me he loved me.
The train pulled up soon after, and I left Nathan with a promise to call him when I get home and a quick kiss.

The Morning after the Night Before
I woke up in Nathans arms, just after 10 am the day after the wedding. He was still asleep and I was just replaying last night in my head. We got home around 1am, and went straight to bed. Lesley showed us where we are sleeping. The house was a beautiful two storey house; it had hardwood floors, and balconies that wrapped around the entire houses two levels and bushland as a backdrop.
“And you Nathan will be sleeping in here and Paris you’ll just down the hall.” She joked. I laughed.
“Ha, ha.”Nathan said sarcastically. I hit him playfully on the arm. Lesley chuckled.
“Ok well Nathan you know where everything is, so you can just show Paris.”
“Thanks heaps for having us Lesley.” I said.
“Hey no worries, we love having people here.” She smiled.
Nathan and I walked into the room and it took my breath away. It was a 4 poster bed, with white lace curtains around the frame, it was beautiful and the moon was shining through the window onto the hardwood floors. This house had lots of character and warmth; it was the house I could imagine Nathan growing up in. His mother’s house was cold from the inside out.
“Oh...This is so beautiful!” I said while touching the curtains.
“Yeah, it’s pretty nice.” Nathan said intently watching my fingers on the curtains.
“Nate, why didn’t you tell me you lived here growing up?” I asked.
He sighed loudly but he wasn’t angry, “It just didn’t come up, I...mum and I had problems lots and lots of problems Paris. So Lesley said I could stay with her, and I did.”He looked sad.
“I’m sorry Nate, you don’t have to tell me...I just want you to know, that you can talk to me about this, if you want too.” I said wrapping my arms around him.
He gulped repeatedly before speaking, “I can talk to you Paris. It’s just hard. There’s a lot...”He stopped talking before he finished his thought.
“It’s ok Nate.” I said kissing him. He kissed me back, and led my over to the bed.
We both got lost in each other after that. His hands travelled the length of my body over and over again, and his lips only left mine once to tell me he loved me...I don’t think he realises how special he is.
Nathan woke up about 15 minutes later and pulled me in for a kiss.
“Morning beautiful, how’d you sleep?”He asked.
“Actually it was the best sleep I have had in ages.” I answered honestly.
“Me too.” Nate said.
“Hmmm ok let’s get up, can you show me where the shower is?” I said.
“The shower is just there, that door.” He said as he pointed to the other side of the room.
I shook my head, “No...Can you show me?”I smiled.
He chuckled softly before untangling himself from the sheet and dragging me to the bathroom.
Nate and I walked down the stairs about half an hour later laughing at some stupid joke from the best man speech at the wedding.
“Hello you two, nice of you to join us in the world of the living.” Lesley said.
“Sorry, we were tired.”Nate said smiling at me.
“Yeah sure...”Lesley said with a knowing smile that made me go bright red, and Nathan cough loudly.
“Well Brad’s making breakfast and your mum, Belle and Matt, Georgie, Chelsea, Jake, West and Uncle John are coming over.” Lesley said, counting everyone on her fingers.
“Oh cool. Well I guess you’ll get a chance to meet everyone then.” Nathan said to me.
I smiled, “Guess so, I think I’m going to go see if Brad needs any help.” I said.
“Morning Brad, did you need any help?” I offered.
“Oh hello Paris, I would LOVE some help. Can you make scrambled eggs?” He asked.
“I can certainly try.” I smiled.
Half an hour later we were all sitting around the table, I was wedged between Nate and Georgie. Everyone was having a really nice time. Chelsea was nice but a little closed off just like Georgie said. Jake was a little serious but friendly. It was going well and Martine was keeping her distance. The newlyweds looked so happy, Matt was absolutely smitten with her, he looked at her like she was the only girl in the world. And then Martine decided to change the subject.
“Well this is lovely isn’t it? All the family together, oh and Paris of course.” Martine said. I felt Nate tense up, like he knew trouble was coming, I rubbed his leg under the table and gave him a smile, as if to say it’s all fine.
“It is lovely isn’t it?”Lesley said casually.
“So football season starts soon Nathan doesn’t it?” Brad asked, it’s like everybody knew when trouble was brewing and they all took on the appropriate roles to diffuse the situation.
“Sure does, I have training on Tuesday.”
“Oh well, won’t be able to have so much fun with Paris then?” Martine chimed in.
“Nope probably not, but will make time.”Nate said his voice light but his body was tense.
“Hmmm I’m sure you will.” She said angrily. At this point everyone had turned their attention to the intense conversation going on.
“Ok so who wants some more orange juice?” Chelsea asked, a few people said yes and the cups were passed around.
“So are you both planning to stay another night still?” Lesley asked Nathan and me.
“Yep if that was ok.” Nate answered.
“No worries. Happy to have you!” Lesley smiled.
“Oh so none of you are not going to stay with me tonight?” She asked her question directed at Nate, Chelsea, Georgie and Jake.
“Mum why would we? You treat us like crap for most of our lives and then you treat Paris like a stupid slut that’s just after Nathan’s money. WHY THE HELL WOULD WE?” Georgie screamed. I had definitely never seen her angry and it seemed like most of the table was shocked too.
“Don’t you ever speak to me like that. How dare you?” Martine yelled back. At this point the table cleared, Lesley grabbed my shoulder and we walked outside, followed by the rest of the family besides Georgie, Nate and Chelsea.
Jake grabbed my hand and steered me towards the garden. “Paris...I’m sorry, she...we’ve all been through a lot with her.” He looked exactly like Nate looked last night, extremely vulnerable and sad.
“It’s fine. Every family has baggage I suppose. I don’t know exactly what happened with all you kids and your mum but I’m sorry.” I said patting him on the back, while he lit up a cigarette.
“Stress smoking only.” He smiled.
We chatted easily for about 15 minutes, just sitting in the garden looking out at the bushland. Then we heard Georgie calling us up to the house, while we were walking back he said,
“Your good for Nathan, I can see why he likes you.” I smiled back at him and realised that all of family (besides his mum) were really genuine and kind.
“And you Nathan will be sleeping in here and Paris you’ll just down the hall.” She joked. I laughed.
“Ha, ha.”Nathan said sarcastically. I hit him playfully on the arm. Lesley chuckled.
“Ok well Nathan you know where everything is, so you can just show Paris.”
“Thanks heaps for having us Lesley.” I said.

Wedding Day
Georgie and I walked into the house to the bride’s house and heard a woman screaming and crying at the top of her lungs.
“Calm down sweetie it’s not that bad.” A woman said, I knew was Leslie immediately; I don’t know why I just knew.
“MUM it’s horrible, I look like a poodle!” The bride screamed.
“Hello.” Georgie knocked cautiously on the door of the room they were in.
“Georgie! I’m so happy you came, God you look beautiful. Your hair looks amazing.”Leslie said, which started a fresh batch of tears from the bride.
“Hey Belle, what’s wrong?” Georgie asked tentatively.
“My hair, look at it. I can’t let Matt see me like this.” Belle said crying and then she spotted me.
“Hi, I’m sorry you have to meet me like this, I’m Belle.” She said kindly.
“Hi, I’m Paris. Seriously it doesn’t look bad.” I said.
“Your Paris, wow you’re beautiful.” Leslie said kindly.
“Thank you. You must Leslie?” I said with a big smile.
“I am. I hear you have had a quite a time with my dear sister.” She asked.
I laughed and shook my head, “Yeah I have.” Leslie gave me a sympathetic smile and a look that said we will talk about it later. We turned out attention to Belle and Georgie.
“Georgie, who did your hair? I love it. That what I wanted the stupid hair dresser.” Belle asked.
“Uh well Paris did actually.” Georgie said looking at me.
“Paris? Please can you fix my hair? Please.” Belle asked virtually begging me, a fresh batch of tears threatening to spill over.
“Yeah of course, but you have to stop crying. It’s your wedding day, and I am sure your fiancée will think your beautiful even if you wear a garbage bag.” I said.
“Ok, I’m done.” She said laughing, her straight white teeth and her deep green eyes shining.
“Oh thank god.” Leslie said laughing. “Come on Georgie; help me finish the wedding favours.”
So I fixed her hair and we chatted easily, just as I was fixing her fringe she talked a little more seriously.
“So you and Nathan hey?” Belle asked.
“Yeah, me and Nathan.” I smiled.
“So you like him a lot?” She asked.
“I do, he is such a good guy.”
“Ok so I’m just going to get the awkward talk out of the way, blah, blah if you hurt him Ill hurt you...blah, blah, blah.”She smiled.
I laughed, “Don’t worry I promise I won’t hurt him. So you guys are close then?” I asked, trying to more information, Nathan only tells me the must know about his family and I wanted to know more.
“Well yeah, he lived with us for a lot of his teenager years. Didn’t he tell about this?”
“No he didn’t, he tends to be kind of...closed off about his family. I mean he told me all about your mum, dad, you, Georgie and Jake and Chelsea but that’s it really."
“Yeah that sounds like him. But you did meet his mum yesterday didn’t you?” She asked.
“I did, she was...she really doesn’t like me.” I said.
“That’s Martine. Look Paris don’t worry yourself to much about her, that’s who she is unfortunately.”
“Hmm I know. Anyway this is your day, so do you like your hair?” I asked.
She looked like she was about to cry again. “I love it, seriously. Thank you so much.” She smiled a genuine smile, and soon was enveloped in hugs by her bride’s maids who had just arrived.
The ceremony was beautiful and the bride was blushing, she wore this ballroom type dress with a fitted bodice and some high blue shoes which could only be seen when she lifted her gown. Her three bride’s maids wore this champagne coloured strapless dresses, they looked lovely too. The ceremony was in this open chapel, near bushland and there was this beautiful waterfall behind the couple streaming away.
The ceremony lasted for about 45 minutes and then we headed to the reception. Nathan and I went in the car with Lesley and Brad, Brad was really lovely very genuine.
“So are you two staying with us tonight?” Lesley asked.
“If that’s ok. Honestly one night with mum was too much.” Nathan said and put his hand on my leg and running it up and down my thigh, this boy didn’t know how much he affected me.
“No worries, Belle and Matt are staying in the hotel near town, and on Monday there going to Tahiti.” Lesley said.
“Oh and Nathan, we have decided we approve of Paris, she saved the day for Belle, she is smart and she is beautiful.” Lesley said.
“Well that’s good, because I kind of like her too.” Nathan said, nudging me gently.
The reception hall was beautiful, high ceilings and a white and gold colour skim. Belle and Matt looked so happy; they were smiling at each other and seemed untouchable and so in love. Soon after the couple’s first dance, I convinced Nate to dance with me. Just as Nate and I made our way to the dance floor and you’ve got the love by Florence and the Machines started playing.
“I don’t think I have told you how beautiful you look tonight.”Nate said with his lips close to my ear.
I smiled, “You look pretty handsome yourself.”I said laying my head on his chest.
“So Lesley and Brad love you, Les pulled me aside and said that you were perfect.”
“Really? Well I’m happy; I like them a lot to. I haven’t had a chance to meet your sister or brother yet.”
“I think Chelsea is staying at Lesley’s tonight too. But you can meet Jake tomorrow.”He said.
We danced for the rest of the song Nathan holding me as we could get to each other and for that song nothing else mattered.
“Paris?”
“mmm?”
“I...I love you.” He said, I looked up at him and he met my eyes for a second before looking away.
“Really?” I asked quietly.
I felt him gulp, at my response “Yes.”His voice was barely a whisper.
“Well that’s good. Because I love you too.” Relief flooded his body, and I felt him melt into me again. I pulled him down and he kissed me and it was one of the best kisses I have had experienced, so deep and arghhhh it was just amazing...
“Calm down sweetie it’s not that bad.” A woman said, I knew was Leslie immediately; I don’t know why I just knew.
“MUM it’s horrible, I look like a poodle!” The bride screamed.
“Hello.” Georgie knocked cautiously on the door of the room they were in.
“Georgie! I’m so happy you came, God you look beautiful. Your hair looks amazing.”Leslie said, which started a fresh batch of tears from the bride.
“Hey Belle, what’s wrong?” Georgie asked tentatively.
“My hair, look at it. I can’t let Matt see me like this.” Belle said crying and then she spotted me.
“Hi, I’m sorry you have to meet me like this, I’m Belle.” She said kindly.
“Hi, I’m Paris. Seriously it doesn’t look bad.” I said.
“Your Paris, wow you’re beautiful.” Leslie said kindly.
“Thank you. You must Leslie?” I said with a big smile.
“I am. I hear you have had a quite a time with my dear sister.” She asked.
I laughed and shook my head, “Yeah I have.” Leslie gave me a sympathetic smile and a look that said we will talk about it later. We turned out attention to Belle and Georgie.

Breakfast
Breakfast was awkward at best. I came downstairs about ten minutes later, I walked into the kitchen and it was evident that tension filled the air. It was also evident that I was the cause of the tension.
“Hey, how’d you sleep?” Nathan asked, obviously pretending we hadn’t seen each other less than 10 minutes ago.
“Not bad, what about you?” I said with a smile.
“Ok...”
“Morning Paris.” Nathans mum said barely looking up from her paper.
“Martine, would you like anymore coffee? Oh good morning you must be Paris?” Said a friendly looking man.
“Paris, this is West, my step-dad.” Nathan said, he forgot to mention his step-dad to me before, and so had Georgie...hmm.
“Hello, lovely to meet you.” I said smiling warmly at him, and he gave me a look I couldn’t decipher.
“So coffee Paris?” West asked. I nodded and Martine shot me a dirty look.
“So Paris what exactly do you do?” Martine asked.
“I work at Radiance magazine, I am an assistant for the editor but soon I start working as the beauty editor.” I smiled.
“Oh, is that the magazine all about sex?” She asked eyeing me up and down.
“Uh...well no, there are a lot of other things in there.”
“Hmm, so you think that somebody dating a footballer should be writing sex articles?” She said her voice full of hate.
“Mum –” Nathan said harshly.
“No Nathan, I want to hear what she has to say.” I said, I couldn’t help it, I hated confrontation but I wasn’t about to let her walk all over me.
“Well I am just saying, my son is in the public eye enough without you trying to gain material for stories, and I definitely wouldn’t want his contract to be put in jeopardy because his girlfriend couldn’t keep her mouth shut.”She said with a defiant smile.
“That is not an issue. And to be honest I don’t really like what you’re implying. My career is for me, it has nothing to do with Nathan...” I said honestly.
“Look love,” she said patronisingly “I just don’t want my son to used.”
“Well then, you have nothing to worry about, because he is not getting used by me...” I said I couldn’t help it. This woman really ruffled my feathers and I wasn’t about to be spoken to like I was some fame hungry whore. Not after last night.
“Ok, ok I think this conversation should end now...”West said.
Martine just walked about of the kitchen, giving me one of the dirtiest looks I have ever seen...
“I’m sorry Nate.” I said, suddenly angry at myself. That was my boyfriend’s mother; I should be at least trying.
“Hey, it’s fine, honestly babe. She deserved it.”He said kissing my forehead.
The rest of breakfast was pretty smooth, and soon me and Georgie were off to the brides house to get ready.
“Hey, how’d you sleep?” Nathan asked, obviously pretending we hadn’t seen each other less than 10 minutes ago.
“Not bad, what about you?” I said with a smile.
“Ok...”
“Morning Paris.” Nathans mum said barely looking up from her paper.
“Martine, would you like anymore coffee? Oh good morning you must be Paris?” Said a friendly looking man.
“Paris, this is West, my step-dad.” Nathan said, he forgot to mention his step-dad to me before, and so had Georgie...hmm.

“No Nathan, I want to hear what she has to say.” I said, I couldn’t help it, I hated confrontation but I wasn’t about to let her walk all over me.
“Well I am just saying, my son is in the public eye enough without you trying to gain material for stories, and I definitely wouldn’t want his contract to be put in jeopardy because his girlfriend couldn’t keep her mouth shut.”She said with a defiant smile.
“That is not an issue. And to be honest I don’t really like what you’re implying. My career is for me, it has nothing to do with Nathan...” I said honestly.
“Look love,” she said patronisingly “I just don’t want my son to used.”
“Well then, you have nothing to worry about, because he is not getting used by me...” I said I couldn’t help it. This woman really ruffled my feathers and I wasn’t about to be spoken to like I was some fame hungry whore. Not after last night.
“Ok, ok I think this conversation should end now...”West said.
Martine just walked about of the kitchen, giving me one of the dirtiest looks I have ever seen...
“I’m sorry Nate.” I said, suddenly angry at myself. That was my boyfriend’s mother; I should be at least trying.
“Hey, it’s fine, honestly babe. She deserved it.”He said kissing my forehead.
The rest of breakfast was pretty smooth, and soon me and Georgie were off to the brides house to get ready.

Mums the word...
*Hey guys make sure you read the post below first! I felt bad about no posting, so this week is another bonus post!?*
As we pulled up to the house, both Nathan and Georgie sighed.
“Ready?” Nathan asked while getting our bags out of the car boot.
“Don’t have much of a choice do I?” I said smiling at him, and then he pulled me in for hug.
“Come on you’ll be fine. She won’t be bad; she’s not mean until she knows you well.” Georgie laughed and gave me wink.
We walked up to the door and rang the bell, soon after his mum opened the door. I could definitely see where Nate and Georgie got their looks, but her face was harder than theirs, a lot more serious.
“Hello, well come here then.” She said pulling them both in for a quick kiss on their cheeks. “And you must be London?” She asked, the question directed at me.
“No mum, this is Paris.” Nathan said.
“Uh well hello, how was the drive then?” She asked, virtually ignoring my presence.
“Fine, it was easy once we got out of Sydney.” Georgie answered.
“Ah good, good. Well come in, I’ll show you to your rooms.” She said dismissively.
I realised I had yet to say a single word...this was not going well.
Georgie was shown her room first, despite the fact they had grown up in the house they were still shown were to go...
“Ok so you’re in here.” She said to no-one in particular. So Nathan walked in and I went to follow, then a hand shot across the door frame to stop me.
“Oh no, you’re not in here. You two will be in separate rooms.” She said harshly.
“Mum-,”Nathan began to protest.
“No Nathan, this girl is a complete stranger to me. You cannot expect me to allow some strange girl to play house with you, certainly not in my home.” She said severely.
“Mum do not talk about Paris like that. She is not some strange girl, why do you always do this?”He was almost yelling, I have never seen him angry before. By this time Georgie had wandered out of her room to see what was going on.
“No Nathan, No. You don’t know this girl; you have only been seeing her just over a month. For all you know she is just after your money or fame. At least Kate already had all of that, you are so naive Nathan.” She yelled back.
“NO mum, you don’t know her!” He was really angry now. They went back and forth for a while until Georgie interrupted.
“HEY, both of you SHUT-UP...Mum stop talking about Paris like she isn’t here, and Nathan what did you expect from her?” Georgie was angry now too, and frankly so was I. I wasn’t given a chance to defend myself, and their mum made assumptions about me that were not true! I was so livid that angry tears threatened to spill over. Instead of crying right there Georgie noticed my reaction and took me to my room, while I assume Nathan and his mum fought some more.
“I’m so sorry Paris, you didn’t deserve that.” Georgie said sympathetically.
“I just didn’t expect it, I...I’m not with Nathan for his money or whatever else she said...”I said confused.
“Oh sweetie, we all know that. She just says things Paris.”
“What the hell was that about Kate?” I asked bewildered.
“She loved Kate, I don’t know...Maybe because they were similar, Kate is not a good person.”
We sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the hush tones of the argument just down the hall. Soon Georgie left the room I was apparently staying in, and went to attempt to shut them up.
Nathan knocked on the door about ten minutes later, “Hey, are you still talking to me?” He asked cautiously.
“Yeah of course...” I said.
“I’m really sorry about that, she had no right.” He said, sitting next to me on the bed, burying his face into his hands.
“Hey, it’s not your fault...I just wasn’t really expecting it, I don’t want to cause problems Nate.” I said grabbing his hands and placing them in my own.
“To be honest either was I, and you are not causing problems, Paris. This is just who she is. I am so sorry.”
“Please stop apologising. Look tomorrow is the wedding and we all need to attempt to get along. Tomorrow is a new day ok?” I said.
“Ok, I don’t think she is going to let up on us sleeping in the same room. God it’s like where teenagers.”
“Come on, will just play by her rules. Plus it’s only for one night.” I said, standing up and giving him a kiss.
“Paris, you’re being so cool about this. It makes me feel worse.” He said, obviously trying to lighten the mood, but still visibly upset.
“Would it help if I was being a bitch about it?” I asked wrapping my arms around him.
“Yes.”
“Ok well I’ll tune into my bitchy side tomorrow, ok?” I said resting my head against his chest.
“Thank you.” He said kissing my forehead.
Suddenly there were three sharp knocks on the door, “Nathan, I don’t care how much you argue you will not be staying the night in there.” She said. Nathan walked out exasperated, and shot me an apologetic look.
Nathans mum was about to walk out after her son but first she coldly added, “I am sorry for how we met Paris. But my opinion still stands until I am proved otherwise.”
“I understand that, but I do really care about your son.” I said, as she shut the door before I had even finished. This was going to be a long weekend.
As we pulled up to the house, both Nathan and Georgie sighed.
“Ready?” Nathan asked while getting our bags out of the car boot.
“Don’t have much of a choice do I?” I said smiling at him, and then he pulled me in for hug.

The Drive
*Hey guys, I'm really sorry I didnt post yesterday! My internet company just decided to turn my internet off! I called and there like, yeah you've paid your bill...I was like "So...Whats the problem???" Anyway it's all sorted! So I will post again in a couple of hours, just edit the post!
So the wedding is tomorrow but I thought I should let you all know about the trip up here. Well it went really well, Georgie (Nathans sister) is awesome! Georgie and Nathan are really close in age, so it’s easy to see why they get along so well.
Nate came to my place after I finished work; I packed my bag the night before so I was all ready to go.
“Hey babe ready to go?” He asked using the intercom from the lobby to my apartment.
“Yep, I’m excited! I’ll be right down.” I said.
I was wearing just a boyfriend cardigan, with some dark wash jeans and I slipped on ballet slippers. I wanted to be comfortable for the drive while still looking like I cared.
“Hey.” I said walking towards Nate, he took my bag and give me a kiss.
“Hey, my sister is in the car.”He smiled.
“Argh ok, I’m nervous...”
“Don’t be, Georgie is awesome.”
We walked towards his car, and I saw her. It seemed good looks ran in the family.
“Hey, you must be Paris...It’s so nice to finally meet you. I have been hearing about you forever, seriously since you guys met and before he ‘officially dumped’ Kate...God she was awful, just quietly.” She was talking a mile a minute, but instantly I liked her. She was one of those people who just said it like it was, but what she said wasn’t mean spirited.
“Georgie, shut-up.” Nathan interrupted. “Paris this is Georgie, Georgie Paris.”
“Lovely to meet you, I’ve heard a lot about you too.” I said with a smile.
She grabbed my arm and began talking to me about everything (I mean EVERYTHING) as we got in the car, she offered me the front seat but I was happy in the back.
“I’m so glad you’re not like most of the magazine girls I know. Nathan told me you work at Radiance, that’s awesome. But yeah, I work in TV just as a junior producer and the mag girls I know are nothing like you.”
“Oh well that’s good I guess.” I laughed. “So, TV hey? That’s awesome.”
“Yeah it is, I really like it. I don’t know junior producer doesn’t have too much responsibilities but I still get my say, which honestly is all I’m ready for at this point.” She said honestly.
“I know what you mean...I just got this promotion at work, I wasn’t expecting it but I guess they are kind of desperate...Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m ready for it, but in this industry you just have to take every opportunities you can.” I said.
Poor Nate didn’t get a word in for the first hour of the trip; Georgie and I were just chatting non-stop the whole way. The chatting soon turned to the family I was about to meet.
“So I assume Nathan has given you the talk about our family, who to avoid, who to talk to, who to impress...”Georgie asked.
“Uh briefly...”I answered.
“Ok well you should know our mum isn’t pleasant most of the time...And uncle John will probably try to hit on you, our older sister Chelsea she’s awesome but she will take a little time to warm up to you, don’t take it personally that’s just how she is. Our brother Jake his cool but a little serious sometimes, hmmm who else! Oh Leslie and Brad they are awesome, and they will love you.” She said, I was glad she was telling me all this honestly, I wanted at least basic information on the family.
“Ok so now she’s all caught up can I speak?” Nathan laughed.
“Oh Nate, feeling all left out aren’t you?” Georgie joked.
“I’m sorry babe, but you were right, your sisters awesome.” I said putting my hand on his shoulder, he responded by grabbing it and kissing it. Aww, his so sweet.
“And you were right again Nate, she’s awesome too. Good choice.” She smiled.
The rest of the drive was fun, Nate told me tonight were staying at his mums, but Saturday and Sunday were staying at Leslies, because I have Monday off work.
When we got to their mums home, well my mouth dropped. It was a very modern home and pretty big and sooo darn beautiful. I was wondering how someone that was described as mean by her own children could live in such a warm and friendly house. Then I met her...

Meet the Family?
I met Nathan last night at a new fusion restaurant, in the middle of the city. After a VERY long day of dealing with Hally. Even though she didn’t want to be in the beauty section of the magazine, she still hated that I was being promoted above her; she made stupid snide comments at the meeting directed towards me and was a general pain in my ass ALL freakin’ day! By the time I got to meet Nate I was less than happy.
“Hey.” I said sneaking up behind him.
“Hey beautiful...You have your cranky face on. What’s up?” Nathan asked with concern.
“I don’t have a cranky face.” I said with a smile “nothing just Hally...”
“Oh, babe wanna talk about it?”
“Nooooooo....I’m done complaining. How was your day?”
“Ehh not bad. I talked to Leslie – my aunt- today, I totally forgot it was my cousins wedding on the 21st of August...Sooo did you maybe uhh wanna to come with me?” He asked, while playing with his napkin.
“Really? I LOVE weddings. I would love to go.” I said smiling and squeezing his hand.
“Well let me tell you, my family is not exactly easy a lot of the time...The wedding is like a two hour drive from the city, so we can drive up on the Friday and stay the weekend if you wanted?”
“Road trip! Yes, I’m excited! Do you think your family will like me?” I asked with a smile.
“Yeah of course they will. But seriously Paris, my mum she’s not really...nice.” He said with hesitation.
“What makes you say that?”
“Nothing, it’s just how she is...She isn’t easy to get along with. But Leslie is great and so is her husband Brad, and of course my brother Jake and my sisters will love you!”
“I’m excited! Thanks for inviting me...Big step meeting the family.” I said with an eyebrow raise and a smile.
“It is...” He said with a grin.
Our conversation was pretty light hearted after that. The dinner was amazing, and we chatted easily and had another great night together.
“So did you want to sleepover?” Nathan asked after dinner.
With my nod we went home together, and had our first really slow, romantic session in the bedroom! Ahhh this boy couldn’t be more perfect...I really hope his family like me.
“Hey.” I said sneaking up behind him.
“Hey beautiful...You have your cranky face on. What’s up?” Nathan asked with concern.
“I don’t have a cranky face.” I said with a smile “nothing just Hally...”
“Oh, babe wanna talk about it?”

Families
*Short post I know, I promise I will try to make them longer!
On Saturday I spontaneously to go home for the night, it was only about a three hour drive from Sydney and I hadn’t been home in a while and thought it was about time for a visit.
I went straight over to my sister’s house, I hadn’t seen her in about two months and she was entering her sixth month of pregnancy and according to my brother in law was becoming quite unpleasant with the pregnancy hormones raging through her body.
Grace and I were always close; she is two years older than me, she was married at 22 and fell pregnant at 24, Grace and Simon were high school sweethearts. My mum wasn’t particularly fond of the idea of her marrying so young, but she accepted it and her and Simon really do love each other.
Grace and I had a blast, we went shopping for some baby clothes, and she asked about the boys in my life I told her about Nathan, she and Simon followed football avidly and she knew all about him.
“Woah you left here like 3 months ago and already dating a football star...”
“I am not dating him! He has some issues he has to work out.”
“Ok, sorry not dating almost had sex with, has almost nightly conversations with AND is breaking up ‘officially’ with his girlfriend to maybe have a shot at a relationship with you.”
“Shut up; let’s go see mum and Ray.
So that’s what we did, mum and Ray are going to Europe on Tuesday travelling everywhere. Mum had been before, but this time they were doing it style. In my mind my trip home was spontaneous, but in mum and Rays mind this was a thoughtful goodbye which I had been planning for ages...
Everyone took turns at good-naturedly poking fun at me about Nate and my articles in Radiance. Mum had collected all of them so far; I decided I probably wouldn’t tell her about my upcoming debut in the sex section of the magazine.
We went out for dinner and had a lovely time, it was nice to be home I hadn’t realised how much I had missed everyone.
On Sunday I went home, I made mum and Ray promise to take a picture of every sign of the new city, I had so many pictures from when I went overseas I got a massive memory board and put all the photos on it!
I was so to be home on my own, but Audrey and I ended up watching movies and having girl time and soon enough Sydney felt like my home again.
