nini sighed as she walked out of her bedroom, adjusting her ponytail as the green and white ribbon fell around it, her green cardigan around her body over her white shirt with her light blue jeans

nini sighed as she walked out of her bedroom, adjusting her ponytail as the green and white ribbon fell around it, her green cardigan around her body over her white shirt with her light blue jeans.

"is this okay??" she asked, the woman turning away from the tv and to her niece with a small smile

"why are you so nervous?" erica chuckled

nini's jaw dropped "i'm not just nervous, i'm terrified! i'm meeting ricky's parents! do you know what that means-?"

"it means you're going to have to listen to boring adults talk about the whether?" erica grinned, folding her arms

nini gave her aunt a look before sighing "very funny."

"you need to relax," erica laughed "you'll be perfect. i'm sure of it."

the brunette girl took another deep breath calm her nerves before a knock at the front door was heard, causing for her to widen her eyes again

"oh my gosh, he's here!" she exclaimed "what do i do?!"

"answer the door?" erica said evidently, pointing at it as nini nodded

"right..." she mumbled as she made her way to the door and opened it up, seeing the curly-haired boy with a nervous smile on his face

"hey! you ready?" he asked

nini nodded silently, looking back at erica to bid her goodbye before taking ahold of her boyfriend's hand as they made their way out of the building and to his car

the ride was silent, nini looking out the window with her fingers still intertwined with ricky's while his other hand was on the steering wheel. the radio was playing music throughout the vehicle, it was only calming nini's nerves to an extent; ricky's hand in hers also helping but it still didn't prevent her anxiousness to rise.

when they pulled up in front of ricky's house, nini leaned forward a little in her seat to get a good look at it through the window.

it was quite an average suburban house; grey and white paint on the outer walls with wooden-framed windows and a wooden door. she felt like it would be those types of loving homey houses where the walls were decorated with family pictures and the rooms were always ready for each time of the season.

"hey," he said softly, snapping her out of her thoughts as nini turned to look at him "you know you don't have to be nervous right? they're just people."

"yes but...they're your parents...what if they don't like me?" she asked quietly

"not going to happen." he smiled, leaning forward to plant a light kiss on her cheek that made her heart flutter "you ready?"

nini nodded slowly as she took a deep breath and got out of the car along with ricky, the two walking towards the front door as nini looked down nervously at her cardigan
