With everything going, on, my mom invited Kami and me to dinner along with Scott and Georgia. She wanted to meet the guy that I kept skating around when she asked. I just sucked it up and brought them to meet my parents. What could go wrong? Don't answer that.

We showed up, and I walked inside to hear music and singing coming from the kitchen, oh, dear god.

We walked in to see my parents singing and getting down while they were preparing dinner. This moment wasn't embarrassing at all.

Mom saw us standing there and exclaimed, "Welcome to our humble abode!"

"Mom, Dad, this is Scott and his daughter Georgia," I said, introducing them.

She wiped off her hands and greeted Georgia then looked at Scott, "So you're the guy that gave my daughter a night to remember."

"Mom!"

"Oh, you need to relax, he's hot, at least your babies will be cute," she said casually, as she turned and went back over to the stove. My mother has no filter.

"Why don't you girls go play outside for a bit?" Dad suggested to the girls.

"Okay, grampa," Kami said as she and Georgia went outback. We could still see them through the glass doors while they played.

"So Scott, I heard you're our daughter's boss," mom said to him.

"Yes, ma'am, she is one of my best employees," he replied.

"I also hear you're quite the boss in other areas," she smirked.

"Mom," I said as I gave her a look.

"Oh, you need to lighten up Lina. You're so tense," she said, waving me off. This dinner was going to be fun.

"Actually Lina has been amazing," Scott said to her. Now I was blushing.

"That's good because Lina can be a little prudish," mom said with a look.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Marni, you need to leave the poor girl alone."

"George, I'm just teasing her," she said as she turned and mouth, "no, I'm not."

I shook my head.

"So, Scott, I hope you're planning on marrying our daughter and not doing a wham bam thank you ma'am," dad told him, oh god.

"Well, sir, I do plan on something but not at the moment. Lina is very special to me, and my daughter adores her," Scott answered him. I couldn't help but feel my heart flutter at that comment.

Everything my parents threw at Scott; he answered them with grace and dignity. He handled their interrogation beautifully. I was starting to fall deeper and deeper in love with him.

We all sat down to eat while the girls giggled and ate their food. It was good to see them happy, especially Georgia.

"Scott, why don't you tell us a little about yourself," dad said to him.

"Well, I'm divorced with a daughter. I own several businesses, and I'm hoping to make things permanent with Lina one day," he said with a wink at me. I couldn't help but smile.

"What about your family, dear?" Mom asked.

"Well, I don't know my family," he shrugged, causing me to stop mid-bite.

I looked at my parents. I didn't know anything about this. We just looked at each other. I mean, what do you say to that?

Scott noticed the looks and finally said, "I never knew my parents. I grew up in foster care. When I aged out of the system, I had to work and put myself through school. I graduated from college at twenty-one and bought my first business from there. I worked my ass off and acquired other businesses. Then I met Victoria. Married her had Georgia then divorced her after I caught her screwing my business partner." I could hear the anger in Scott's voice. "Excuse me," he said, getting up.
