You nervously pace around your bedroom, anxiously waiting for your girlfriend to come out of the bathroom. Normally you wouldn’t be getting so nervous about a date, especially to the point of changing your outfit three times, but this wasn’t just a regular date. It was Christmas, and in give or take twenty minutes, you were going to meet Gwen’s family… How exciting.

Finally, after what felt like torturous hours of waiting, Gwen stepped out of the bathroom, ready to go. She was beautiful, sporting a black, off-the-shoulder crop top with green and blue floral patterns and gold trimming, a pair of jeans that hugged her figure a little too tight, and a white pair of sandals. It was almost enough to make you forget how nervous you were. Almost.

She laughed softly as she approached you, giving you a once-over to make sure you looked okay, fixing any tiny anomalies she found. She smiled at you, practically able to hear how nervous your silence was. You were only meeting your girlfriend’s family on Christmas, what’s so scary about that?*

“Ay, mi vida, breathe. You look like you could crush diamonds with your ass. Just be yourself, and it’ll go just fine. Te van a querer tanto como yo, I promise. Also, try not to stare at my ass, unless you want my abuela to cuss you out.”
