He pulled up into his driveway and the butterflies tripled in my stomach. I clutched my purse in my hand and nervously bounced my leg.

The sun was high in the sky, casting it's warm heat down onto the earth creating a nice summers day. The trees picked up every now and then, creating a calm wind to cool me down when the suns heat was beginning to get too hot.

When I looked at their house I couldn't help but smile a little, it was a calm little cottage house, with a beautiful front garden and trees providing shade from the growing heat. The garden held a range of bright coloured flowers that lit up the rest of the street. It resembled the little family house that women grew up picturing. The house itself was a calm yellow and the whole scenery seemed to make my butterflies leave my stomach to go join the ones fluttering around the flowers. My smile pulled into a grin and Daniel put his hand on my lower back. I turned and faced him to show him how much I loved his house, "this is so beautiful" I told him before facing the house again. He chuckled and it sent my heart into a flutter, skipping a beat from its excitement. Now that I had finally admitted my feelings for him to myself, I found myself nervous and giddy around him.

We hopped out of the car and a wind picked up, ruffling my dress. I was wearing a white and purple skater dress with a thick black strap wrapping around my neck. I matched it with a pair of black flats and my hair was up in a high ponytail.

"Come on, I want you to meet my family" he guided me through the white gate and down the stone path. All the while my eyes roamed over the front garden. It was magical. I was expecting a fairy to pop out any minute now from how calm and beautiful the garden was but none ever did. I let Daniel guide me to his front door where he stopped to get his house keys.

My heart suddenly stopped and all breath left my body, like I had been punched in the gut. I couldn't do this. I can't meet his family. This isn't me. I don't meet the parents. How can I stand there in front of his mother and be a lady?

"Hey, Annie, it's going to be okay" He soothed as he stuck the key into the door and pushed it open.

"Wait" I wheezed out smashing my hand against his chest to stop him from going in. He looked at my hand and then me, "what if she doesn't like me?" I whispered so that she didn't hear me.

Daniel gave me a soft smile that warmed my insides, he grabbed my hand from his chest and lightly squeezed it. "She's going to love you" he said and just like that all of my fear washed away.

I smiled back at him and nodded, letting him know that I was good to go. He stepped in and I followed behind, the whole time holding tightly onto his hand. He closed the door and I looked around. His house seemed to calm my nerves. It looked very homey, with soft colours. It's like an old lady lived here who baked a lot.

"It used to be my grandmas but when she passed away she gave it to my mum so we moved in" he explained and I saw many photos of his family. I smiled, they looked close.

"Marco!" A male voice screamed from what sounded like upstairs.

"Polo!" Daniel suddenly cried out making me jump. He laughed at me before I heard the other guy scream marco again. Daniel replied polo until a guy came crashing down the stairs. Daniel ran up to him and they smashed into a hug.

"Brother! I missed you so much! How was your journey my young one?" The guy asked as he pulled away and I watched intrigued as Daniel laughed and roll his eyes. I couldn't really see who I now know as Daniels brother.

"Good, I have brought home a lady" Daniel stated in the same olden day accent and I couldn't stop the smile that spread along my lips. I found it amusing to see him like this.

"A lady?!" The boy cried out.

"A lady!" Daniel confirmed.

Daniel stepped out of the way and when I saw his brother my jaw dropped. Talk about being twins. They were exactly alike. Except for the fact that the boy had greeny blue eyes unlike Daniel who had gorgeous blue eyes.

"How are you my fair lady and what might your name be?" He asked as he took my hand and brought it up to his lips to place a kiss on it.

I raised my eye brows and slowly took my hand back. "My name's Annie"

He straightened up and opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a little girl crying as she ran down stairs, "Tom, Clarissa took my teddy and hid it somewhere and she won't tell me where it is!" The little girl who had a head of gorgeous raven black hair and was wearing a fairy costume looked up at the boy who I'm guessing is now Tom. She then noticed Daniel. "Danny your home! You can beat up Clarissa for me" she said as she grabbed Daniel's hand and dragged him upstairs.

I watched as Daniel sent me an apologetic smile before following his little sister upstairs.

Tom turned around to face me, his greeny blue eyes roaming over my body before he smirked. "So, are you his girl?"

My heart skipped a beat, why does everyone feel the need to ask that goddamn question? I shook my head, "no, we're just friends" I stated roughly, hoping he wouldn't pry any further.

Tom smirked as he stepped forward, "that's a real shame for Daniel then but, very exciting for me"

I raised an eyebrow at his actions, I looked him up and down, he wasn't as toned or as big as Daniel. Actually the more I looked at him he looked nothing like Daniel. I shrugged, "nah I'm good thanks" I gave him an innocent smile.

He just smirked, "Aw come on, I could make it worth your while" he sung.

I smirked and looked down at where his dick is before looking up at his eyes, "doubt it"

His jaw dropped and my smirk turned into a grin. Before he could reply Daniel interrupted us. "Tom leave her alone"

Tom looked me up and down and before leaving he quickly winked at me. "Guess you'll have to find out then sweetheart" he muttered before walking off.

Daniel sighed, standing at the foot of the stairs, "sorry about him, he can come off a little strong" he explained and I waved him off with a small laugh.

"It's fine really, I don't care" I gave him a reassuring smile and he smiled back.

He then waved me over and gestured upstairs with a nod of his head, "come on, I'll show you around". I walked over to him and we walked upstairs together. My nerves were back and I could feel my hands actually shaking. Suddenly Daniels hand brushed against mine before he slowly entangled his fingers with mine. I took a deep breath and tried to control my heart before slowly tightening my fingers with his. I gulped down the lump in my throat and let him lead me upstairs. He opened a door and it looked like some kind of living room. "This is the game room" he explained and when I stood at the door 3 pairs of eyes landed on me. "And these are my sisters" he explained as the girls stood and came over to us.

"Alright, girls this is Annie, Annie that's Clarissa" He gestured to a girl who had similar black hair to Daniels and the little girls, it was pulled back into a high pony tail, she had dark blue eyes and pink pouty lips. She was as tall as Daniel, "she's my older sister". She gave me an awkward smile and I returned it. She wore an oversized white shirt with a red rose on it and black tights with fluffy pink ugg boots.

"This is Sarah, she's younger then me" he explained and I checked Sarah out. She surprisingly had red hair that looked natural. Her skin was paler then her siblings and her eyes were a strong emerald green that hid behind thick black glasses that were almost hipster like. Half of her hair was pulled up into a ponytail leaving the other half spiralling down her shoulders. Her ears were covered in piercings and she wore multiple stone necklaces. She also wore a purple and white dyed dress shirt that came down to her mid thigh. I noticed she had a tattoo wrapped around her ankle and I looked at Daniel confused.

"I'm adopted" she suddenly said and I looked at her frozen. My eyes went wide and my cheeks flushed. She chuckled and shrugged her shoulders, "it's all good bro breathe" she gently slapped me on the shoulder. She sighed and looked at Daniel and the other girls, "alright, I'm off" she said before she gave me a smile and headed out. I was still trying to gather my thoughts and embarrassment.

"I'm Lilly!" A little girl suddenly cried out breaking me from my spell. I looked down and saw the little girl that had referred to Daniel as Danny before. Her hair curled down past her shoulders and she had sparkling sky blue eyes. She held a doll in her hand and she held it up for me to see. "This is Angel, I got her for my birthday"

I looked at the doll, it was dressed in a little dress and had wings on the back. "She's very sweet" I commented. "I'm Annie"

"I know" she shrugged, "Danny said he would be living with you for a bit" she explained and I nodded. Suddenly there were voices from downstairs, "mummy! Daddy!" Lilly squealed out and rushed downstairs. My eyes went wide and my heart skipped a beat.

Oh god. The parents!
