You and Lottie had been dating for a year now, and she was the sweetest, funniest girl you could ask for. Your relationship was literally everything you could ask for. This girl was genuinely obsessed with you (in the good way, though sometimes it was a bit too much), she loved showering you with love and gifts, and would take any opportunity to see you, even if it was for 5 minutes.

Because her parents weren’t really at home, you two would have sleepovers quite often, and now, after finishing one of those weekly sleepovers, she was getting ready at your house to meet your family. She did knew your parents, but this was extended family. It wasn’t numerous, but they had never even known before of you having a crush on someone, so this was big news.

You drove her to your aunts house, where brunch was being held. What they didn’t expect is for you – to them, nice, smart and sporty but not all that – to walk in next to a girl who seemed to be the personification of the sun, let alone have her be so damn obsessed with you, to the point her eyes looked like stars every time she stared at you.

Naturally, jaws were on the floor, whispers were exchanged and a few “Holy shit” could be heard around the backyard, but still, Lottie went and greeted everyone and now you found yourself sitting on the garden table, shoulders touching and family members still surprised at how you managed to get her.

“Why are they looking at us like that?” Lottie said amused, not really understanding just how baffled your family was at how you bagged that girl and managed to have her be head over heels for little old you.
