Y/n pov:

As I stood nervously behind Jude, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. It was the first time I would be meeting Jude's father and brother, and I was worried about whether or not they would like me.

I clutched the baguette of flowers and box of chocolates tightly in my hands, hoping that they would make a good impression.

Jude led me into the living room, where his parents and brother Jobe were already waiting.

Jude's parents and brother turned their attention towards us.

Denise's face lit up in a bright smile as she greeted me warmly. "It's so nice to see you again, Y/n," she said, giving me a hug.

"I'm so glad you could join us for dinner tonight."

I returned the hug, feeling the tension ease slightly. I had been anxious about meeting Jude's family, but Denise's friendly demeanor helped to calm my nerves.

I presented Denise with the bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates I had brought as a small gesture of gratitude for welcoming me into their home.

Denise's eyes sparkled with delight as she accepted the gifts. "Oh, how sweet of you, Y/n! Thank you so much," she said, her smile widening.

No wonder jude is beautiful. He got it all from his mum. I wonder how Denise looked in her teenager times.

"no it's nothing. I have to thank you for the invitation ." I returned the smile.

"Y/n, this is my dad, Mark and my brother, Jobe," Jude said, introducing me to the rest of his family. "Guys, this is Y/n."

I gave a shy wave, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes on me.

Jude's dad, Mark, stood up from the couch where he was sitting and shook Y/n's hand, welcoming me "It's great to finally meet you, Y/n. Jude has told us so much about you," he said with a friendly smile.

"like wise. I hope just good things." I said joking with him. "Oh trust me dear. Just the best things" Mark smirked at Jude while turning to me again and giving me a sweet smile.

Jobe, Jude's brother, was next to greet me. "Hey, I'm Jobe. Just a little lip I'm better brother. And nice to meet you," he said, offering a handshake.

I returned his handshake. "Hey better brother. It's nice to meet you too."

As wr settled into the living room,

Jude's family began asking me about my life showing genuine interest in getting to know me better.

After a while of talking Densie went to the kitchen to warm up the lunch. I quickly stood up to follow her.

Jude gave me a questionable look but I ignored it and walked to the kitchen. "Densie let me help you. What should I do?"

"very sweet of you, Y/n, but let go and sit down and wait for dinner," Densie said as she chopped vegetables for the pasta sauce.

But I stood my ground, crossing my arms over my chest. "I want to help you, Densie. I don't want to just sit around while you do all the work."

Densie sighed, but couldn't help but smile at my stubbornness. "Alright, then. Grab the plates and silverware and let's set the table together."

I eagerly complied, pulling dishes out of the cupboard and placing them on the dining table while Densie finished up the sauce. Once everything was ready, I called out to Jude, Jobe, and Mark to come to the table.
