"Hello this is Margaret Green , who is speaking ?"
"Hello ma'am , I am Edward Anthony Masen Jr. I was wondering if Miss Aurora is free to talk?"

"Of course young man"

Edward smiles to himself , patiently waiting for Aurora to answer. " Edward?" Aurora cooed . " Hello darling , how is your day?" He asks while grinning . This has been their 4th conversation over the phone , but this time her mom answered . Her mom never met or heard about Edward. "Great but you talked to my mother?" She questions while glancing at her mother who was looking at herself through the mirror . "Yes , she seems like a lovely woman. I wish to meet her. " he said , he was trying to meet her family . "How about tonight?" "Tonight?" "Tonight" she confirmed . "I would love to " he admits . They were falling for each other , and they knew it .

Charles Green , Aurora's father was helping his wife set up the table . "Honey, do you like Edward?" Charles blurted causing Aurora's eyes to widen at her father's question. "I believe so father " she admits , trying to ignore her hot red cheeks . Margaret laughs at her daughter . Although her parents are mostly never around , they make sure when they do it, it's worth the wait. Their heads snap to the door when they hear the doorbell ring . Aurora runs to the door and opens it to see Edward holding two bouquets of roses . "Hello Aurora" "Hi" she giggled . "Come it" she said while stepping to the side . He accepts and walks inside . Margaret and Charles say their 'hellos' , Edward shakes Charles hand firmly . "Nice grip young man" Charles compliments. "Thank you sir , Mrs.Green these roses are for you " he says while handing her one of the bouquets. Margaret blushes and says thank you , Edward turns around and give Aurora the other bouquet. "Thank you Edward" "Anything for you"

Dinner was going well , sharing life stores , jokes and words of wisdom . Soon the laughters die down , Edward begins to talk . "Mr and Mrs Green , one of the reasons I came her was to ask permission for me to court your daughter . I promise I will love her " he glances at Aurora who has tears breaking her brownish/blue eyes . " I will protect her , i don't think I can live without her" he finishes while grabbing Aurora's hand . She smiles and wipes her tears away.

"Welcome to the Family , Edward"
