Chapter Nineteen ~ Getting to know you

"He's very serious looking isn't he?"

"I think he's handsome."

"You do?"

"They didn't make them like that when I was at school."

"You're terrible." 

"I wonder if they're together." 

"It would be so nice for her to start dating and find a nice guy."

"He's very fashionable isn't he, look at that shirt he's wearing. I wouldn't mind a shirt like that, think it would suit me?"

"Hm, not sure sweetheart. It's more for someone that isn't so......rotund."

"You saying I'm fat?"

"I'm saying you've got an adorable stomach, very manly sweetheart."

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?"

The two curious parents spun around from their vantage point at the kitchen window, their daughter standing before them with wide eyes and hands on hips.

"Hey sweetie, was just saying to your father how handsome your boyfriend is."

"He isn't my boyfriend, he's not even my friend." Y/N rolled her eyes.

"Then why is he standing outside on the porch waiting for you?" Her mom questioned with a smirk.

"You're incorrigible, he's a new guy at college and we're getting to know each other." 

"Is that what you kids are calling it now." Her dad asked with a playful nudge to his chuckling wife.

"DAD! SERIOUSLY STOP!"

"Why didn't you invite him in?" Her mom asked with a cocked brow.

"It's weird, he doesn't really know me well enough to start meeting my parents so stay inside and don't be embarrassing." 

"I can't believe our daughter thinks we're embarrassing, after all we do for her." Her dad fake gasps and places a hand over his chest.

"Okay.....I'm going to pretend that didn't happen. I'll see you guys later, I won't be long." Y/N grabbed her camera, taking steps toward the door.

"Where are you two going?" Her mom shouted out.

"Just going to the woods for a hike."

"Awwww, that's adorable." 

"MOM STOP!" Y/N whisper yelled as she reached the door, turning around to see both parents standing in the kitchen doorway watching her with amused expressions.

"I'll see you later."

"See you later sweetie, enjoy your date."

"No outdoor shenanigans." Her dad added causing a fierce blush to spread across her cheeks.

"You're unbelievable!" Y/N quickly exited the house as her parents laughed.   

Taehyung's POV

I couldn't help but smile, the interaction between Y/N and her parents was adorable. I was tempted to embarrass her further, maybe knock at the door and introduce myself but decided against it.

"Sorry about that, was just letting my parents know I'm going out." Y/N approached me with a sweet smile, camera around her neck.

Cute.

"It's okay, was just texting my brother."  I pushed my phone inside the back pocket of my slacks, looking down at my outfit. "I'm not really dressed for a hike, mind if we stop at my place first so I can get changed?"

"Sure, where do you live?"

"Not too far, about fifteen minutes away from here if we drive."

"We can take my truck."  Y/N motioned to the drive and my lips curled up at the sight.

"Nice."

"Hey, don't be mean to my truck. I know she doesn't look like much but she's yet to fail me."

"I never said anything mean and did you just call your truck she?"

"You didn't have to say anything, I could tell from your ridiculous smirk and yes Daisy is a she." Y/N smiled fondly, patting the hood of her truck.

"Full of surprises aren't you." I chuckled, pulling open the passenger door.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" She got behind the wheel, placing her camera on the seat behind.

"Good, definitely good." I responded honestly, pulling at the belt and clicking it in place.

"You mind listening to music?" She asked, nervously fiddling with the steering wheel.

"Of course I don't mind, what do usually listen to?" 

"I enjoy all kinds of music, usually old school rock or jazz."

"You like jazz?" My curiosity was peaked with this, it wasn't everyday someone shared my taste in music.

"Yeah, I find it relaxing."

"Do you have a favourite jazz artist?"

"Yeah, I like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker."

"Chet Baker is really good too." I added, smiling when her eyebrows shot up.

"You like jazz too?" She asked with a smile that made my heart race. 

"Yeah, I play the saxophone too." I hadn't played it for weeks, usually it sat in the corner of my room.

"That's awesome Taehyung, you should play for me sometime." 

"Yeah, maybe." I smiled, wanting desperately to lean across and kiss those perfect lips she kept smiling at me with.

"Okay, you'll have to direct me to your place." The engine roared to life, Charlie Parker's 'My Old Flame' gently drifted through the truck causing me to smile.

With ankles crossed and my knees leaning against the center console, I watch Y/N as she focuses on driving.

Stunning.

I'm not sure if you'd say she was classically beautiful but her large eyes held such an intelligence and serenity that it was impossible for me not to be held prisoner by them. Her cheekbones weren't especially high and her nose was a little too long to be perfect, but there was undeniable symmetry to her features and perhaps that's what held me so captivated.

"What's your favourite colour Taehyung?"

I was suddenly snapped back to reality, a chuckle leaving my lips at her question.

"My favourite colour?" I asked, amused at her topic of conversation.

"We're getting to know each other right? So, we should start with the simple things like favourite colour and tea or coffee."

"Okay." I smiled, finding it adorable that she was blushing. "Favourite colour is purple, don't really like coffee as it's too bitter but tea isn't too bad."

"Why purple?" 

"I don't know, I just like it."

"I like green." She informed with a smile.

"Why green?"

"It reminds me of the woods, nature and trees....I love trees."

I want to love you.

I froze, those words floated around in my head mocking me. It was my wolf, he wanted nothing more than to make his claim on Y/N but I wasn't ready for that. I pushed him back, told myself to lock those words away for now and looked out the window.

One step at a time Taehyung.
