CHAPTER SIX

I felt like I was going to be sick. What if my parents kicked me out and never wanted to see me again after telling them the truth about the man sitting by my side?

“Hey,” Cash took my hand in his and ran his thumb over the back of it. “If you decide you can’t tell them this weekend, I’ll happily play your friend instead. I don’t want you doing anything you’re not ready for.”

I nodded because I knew he would, but I never wanted Cash to think I was ashamed of him.

“I’m not hiding. It’s time they learn who I really am, and if they don’t like what they hear, then I’ll have to learn to deal with it.” Even I almost believed what was coming out of my mouth.

I sat staring at my childhood home for another few seconds and then snapped out of it. If I waited any longer, my parents would come out and pull me from the car. Taking a deep breath, I let it calm me before I turned off the ignition.

With my hand on the door handle, I nodded my head, prepared for anything that might come my way. “Are you ready to meet my parents?”

“Yeah,” he chuckled. “I didn’t think I’d ever do this again. I kind of thought I’d be alone for the rest of my life. Plus, growing up, most parents didn’t use to like me.” He humorlessly chuckled.

Turning in my seat, I cupped the side of his face. My thumb brushed his full bottom lip and the stubble on his chin. “Well, my parents will love you. At least until I tell them that you’re my boyfriend.”

“Maybe we can wait to tell them Cami’s my sister?” He gave me a forced smile. “I don’t think that tidbit is going to win me any brownie points.”

“Probably not. They’re not her biggest fan.” Swallowing roughly, I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car. I was desperate to take Cash’s hand in mine for moral support, but I knew that wasn’t the way for my parents to learn about who I was dating.

As if sensing my need for him, Cash walked by my side, and every few steps, his fingers brushed against mine. “You’ve got this,” he murmured as the front door swung open.

“Honey, you finally decided to get out of the car,” my mom greeted me as I pulled her into a hug.

“I’m sorry. We were just talking. It’s good to see you, mom. Is dad home yet?”

She pulled back and kissed me on the cheek. “He got home about twenty minutes ago. He’s already camped out in front of the television, watching the news.”

I wasn’t surprised my dad was watching the news. Every day when he came home from work, he watched the news for an hour and then went about doing anything my mom wanted from her honey-do list.

“Mom, this is my friend, Cash. Cash, this is my mother, Margaret.”

She smiled warmly at him. “Please, call me Maggie.
