      &quot;I'm thankful for the girl whom I had a crush on from the fifth grade and she is my girlfriend now, and for my friends who never left my side&quot; Theo disclosed and Lia teased Barbie.
      It was a pretty beautiful scenario to have lunch in our garden area where we ate lunch and dinner just twice in a year with family on Thanksgiving and Christmas but like last year, my dad couldn't make it so we didn't follow this tradition last year.
      As my mother was the busiest woman, she would enter the kitchen twice a year only. Sometimes I wanted to have an ordinary family where mom would cook the food daily and the rest of the members would happily eat while chatting.
      I would be lying if I said that I didn't love my mother's food but she never cared about my feelings so I stopped showing and expecting anything from her for as long as I could remember.

      &quot;Guys, you should come down now,&quot; Fiona yelled and all of us looked at George who shot us what-the-heck glare.
      When he realized that he was supposed to answer her, he opened his mouth, &quot;I'm going down. I don't want to piss my girl off, we had a good day with my parents so I don't want to spoil her mood.&quot; He jumped out of the couch and raised his hand in the air.
      &quot;Let's go, guys! Everyone is afraid of their girlfriends except Alex and me,&quot; my dad scoffed and we stared at him.
      &quot;Ash! You are a grown-up man, act like one or else I'm going to take girls outside for dinner. It's been damn three hours, do you realize that girls are hungry here?!&quot; My mother screamed out at the top of her lungs and all of us looked at my dad who had already started running down and we cracked up at his action.
      &quot;I'm the only

      &quot;Why are you so nervous, my boy?&quot; Barbie smirked and wiggled her brows.
      &quot;Of course, I'll be! It's my girlfriend's dad, and it's our first time meeting with them and that too, with the whole family. You know what I mean, right?&quot; I shrugged and sighed to calm my anxious nerves.
      I hated my mother but Kristen insisted on inviting everyone in my family including my parents and sister. At least, her mom cared about her love life and took some interest in that. My mom never asked me who the girl was, she ran into the restaurant that day. Mrs. Casano never cared for Barbie either, I didn't think she would even know anything about our lives.
      My dad finally came back home after one and a half years so I was super excited to spend this Thanksgiving and Christmas with my dad and girlfriend.
      &quot;Take it easy, Jay! Mom will be here so
