The blonde woman said enthusiastically.

I could feel two hands on my back guiding me into the houses. I felt a little nervous but tried not to think about it.

Ben said awkwardly". I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. He talks about me ? Why ? I looked confused at him and he just looked away and shrugged.

Mrs. Carpenter said as she bent down a little. and took my hand in hers.

I look at Ben and all I got was a shrug. I shook the woman's hand feeling very put on the spot. "I said awkwardly."Dumb ass cake ??? Really that's all I got .. I thought to myself.

She smiles

She said enthusiastically .. gosh she was such a happy person.. definitely not what I was use to.

I looked at Ben and waited for him to say something.

he said while pushing me in the direction of what I could only assume was the living room.

Elizabeth called out from the kitchen as I was pushed down the hall.

We got into the nicely furnished living room. It had this really comfy feeling to it. I watched as Ben flopped down onto one of the couches and grabbed remote off the table to turn on the tv that was in the room.

I sat down on the other couch and looked at him and grinned.

??? I questioned

He looked up at me and glared. He gave be the finger and told me to shut.

I said to bug him like he usually did to me.

he said while tossing a pillow towards my head, luckily I was able to move before I got hit.

I giggled and got comfy on the couch as Ben found something to watch. We ended up watching the Simpsons. About 20 minutes had passed and I could feel my stomach growling for food. I could smell all the spaghetti goodness coming from the kitchen and to say I wasn't excited would be an understatement. I tried to ignore my hunger and just focused on the show. A few minutes later I started hearing clicking on the floor and looked up to see a golden retriever pounding into the room excitedly. He ran up to Ben searching for loving.

! He said while scratching the medium sized got all over.

Rocket seemed to take notice of the new person in the room and took off towards me for pets. I gave him what he wanted.. he totally made me his ear scratching bitch.

." Ben said with a laugh.

"Ben got up from the couchHe walking towards the hallway and waited for me to get up and follow him.

I whispered while we walked towards the kitchen.

He shrugs.

We walk into he kitchen and see Mr and Mrs Carpenter talking near the stove.

Elizabeth said in an excited tone. Man she is really happy.

I looked up to to the very tall man and felt super nervous. I mean sure Ben was tall and it took me a while to get use to him but his dad was over 6 foot 3 at least.

i nervously stuck my hand out to shake his and felt my eyes bulge a little at the size of his when he shook mine.

He said in a very happy tone.

I gave a tight smile and looked away awkwardly.

Ben broke the awkward silence and pulled his fathers attention away from me.

he pulled Nicolas out of the kitchen and out side to where the garage was.

I was glad the awkwardness was over but Ben left me alone with Elizabeth and heck if I knew what to talk about. I looked up to her and could see the happiness on her face.

I nodded my head and smiled .

She guided me towards a metal stool that was at the island.

I climbed onto the stool and sat there looking around.

. She smiled and went to the fridge to get me some.

A few seconds later she brought me a cup full of apple juice and left me to go stir the pot of spaghetti sauce that was boiling on the stove.

I picked up the glass of juice and took note of the heavy glass making sure to hold with both hands not to spill.

I was starting to feel more comfortable and the small wasn't to scary with her.

She says before she sips at her wine.

I sipped my drink again.

." She took my hand and patted it a little

I said with a shrug

I smiled and thanked her for having me. We talked a bit more the topics ranging from movies to books and even some stuff about gardening I felt super comfortable and was really getting out of my shell.

When she turned her back to get the pasta started and the garlic bread in the oven I decided to look around the kitchen again to take everything in. I noticed a couple of odd things around but kinda brushed it off because I really didn't know them. But decided why not ask.

I asked with a half smile as I looked between Elizabeth and a high chair that look very new.

. Elizabeth response was quick as she went back to doing her cooking tasks. A few seconds later Nicolas and Ben came in from outside looking like they were excited about something.

I tried to brush off what she said .. maybe she was expecting ? I sat there in silence
