The Setup

Part Fourty-One: The Confirmation

Lucy's POV:

—————— Dec 23 ——————
My family had been here for the past few days and things were good. My younger brothers just landed and we were picking them up from the airport. Jamie has a game today so he has been preparing. I see my younger brothers leave the terminal doors and I wave them down.

L: hey losers how was the flight?

Vinny comes in for a hug then Devin.

Vinny: it was good! I mean there wasn't a lot of turbulence and nothing was delayed which is good.

L: ok let's go! I'm sure y'all are hungry. Mama has food cooking at home.

Devin: so you do know this is going to be like the first time we're actually met Jamie right?

L: I do.

Vinny: are we supposed to be nice to him? Or mad at home for what happened?

L: get in the car and I'll tell you what happened and then you both can decide.

We all get I to the car.

L: ok so you guys didn't meet Jamie at the wedding I'll explain to you what happens. Jamie and I met and we hit it off really fast. Both of our ex's were toxic and honestly I had some trust issues and Jamie idk he reacted irrationally to my craziness. We talked about everything and I'm honestly really happy. It's the first time I've met someone who is there for me when I need them and understands the life I live and everything that I have been through.

Vinny: I get it. As long as you're happy I'm happy. But if he hurts you I will not hold back.

Devin was quiet.

L: hey dev you ok?

Devin: how do you know he won't go back to her if you guys get into another fight?

Devin has always been protective of me.

L: well that's a risk I'm willing to take to be happy rn

Devin: I guess I'm also on the same page as Vinny but it's going to take sometime to fully trust him.

L: understandable. I just hope the both of you will be polite and nice to him even if you haven't decided on how you feel.

Devin: of course siss.

We are almost at my house.

L: ok so since my guest rooms aren't finished yet you guys get to choose between my house and Connor's. If you guys stay here you'll have to share one of the guest bedrooms and I'll grad an air mattress.

Vinny: I'm cool with staying here.

Devin: well I'm only here for a night then I have to go to the hotel with the team for the game and stuff tomorrow so I'm cool with staying here too.

L: ok sounds good. Mama, and dad and uncle Rick and uncle Aaron are staying at Connor's so my house is mainly just kids.

Vinny: he must love that 😂

I laugh a little.

L: so Vinny you staying after Devin goes back on the road or are you going to go with him?

Vinny: I'll probably stay for a few days then meet up with him for NYE. If that's ok?

L: of course it is!

Vinny is Devin's childhood best friend. As Devin was getting bigger and bigger in the basketball world. Vinny was getting better at boxing.

Devin: so has mom fully met Jamie yet?
