“What movie do you want to watch?” I asked, grabbing the remote and started flipping through the movie channels while Ames poured us some wine.

He shrugged, “Choose whatever you want.” He said, handing me the glass.

I grinned, “I’ll choose something girly.” I teased him

He laughed at me, “Doesn’t matter. I’m planning on making out the whole time anyways.” He smirked as he removed the throw pillows from my couch onto the floor, “How many damn pillows do you need?”

“Says the man with the bachelor pad.” I joked as I pulled back my hair.

“Technically I am a bachelor.” He smirked, trying to get a rise out of me and he did. I narrowed my eyes at him, but he pulled me in closer and kissed my lips softly, “My baby is so possessive…” He whispered against my lips.

I laughed lightly, “I can’t help it… I just got you, I don’t want any other b.itch to have you.” I pouted.

He kissed me again, “I’m all yours… What are you going to do with me?” He grinned as we set our wine glasses down and he pulled me into his lap.

“Ames…” I bit my lip as he leaned in, kissing my neck.

“Yes?” He asked.

“I have no idea…” I breathed out, trying to regain my thoughts.

“Mhmm.” I could feel him grinning against my neck.

“Ames…” I said once more, trying to regain my thoughts.

“That’s my name.” He laughed, making me giggle.

I pushed him away with a smile, “I feel like we’re two high schoolers fooling around.”

“How about a little under the shirt action?” He wiggled his eyebrows and I could tell he was joking.

“Okay.” I laughed, pulling my shirt over my head and tossed it to the side, “Your turn.” I winked as he processed it all and then quickly pulled his shirt off and showed off his amazing body. I wanted to run my tongue all over his perfect abs.

“Happy?” He asked.

I nodded, as I pulled him into a deep kiss and he pushed me onto my back, hovering over my body as we started making out like two kids in heat. His hands ran all over my body as it landed on my bra covered t.its, “Is this okay?” He pulled away and asked me.

I nodded, “Ames, we’ve had sex. You can touch them.” I laughed.

“I’m just making sure I’m not breaking any of your rules.” He said cautiously.

I groaned, “F.uck the rules Ames… touch me…” He groaned, catching my bottom with his teeth as he cupped my breasts in his hands. My breath became ragged as I moaned louder.

“You’re so damn sexy Milena… I never want to stop touching you.” He groaned as he slid one hand under my bra, teasing my nipple.

“Oh god, don’t stop…” I moaned out loudly.

“MILA!!!” I heard a voice, and everything in my brain started to focus on what was happening. I felt like I was about to die. Yes, this was the time in the history of the universe where someone was going to die of embarrassment.

We both turned out head towards the doorframe and saw my parents, standing there with the worst look I had ever seen on their face.

“Oh my god, mom, dad! What are you doing here?!” I yelled out as Ames pulled away from me while he tossed my shirt to me.

I fumbled to get it on, “Ames?!” My mom asked in a shrill voice.

“Hi…” He said slowly as he couldn’t even look the two of them in the eye. Holy sh.it, was there any explanation to what they just saw? No, it was exactly what they saw and I was about to die of embarrassment.

“WHAT THE F.UCK?!” I heard my dad yell out loudly, “WHAT IN HOLY HELL IS THIS?!”

Shocked was the understatement of the year. My dad was beyond pissed, he was… nuclear.

“Dad! Mom! What are you doing here?!” I said in a screech.

It was like neither of them had blinked, there were standing there shocked, “Ava Milena Schon, what is going on here?” My mother used my full name.

My mouth went dry, “Mom, what are you guys doing here?”

“She is your mother goddamn it. You answer her, not vice versa!” My dad yelled.

“Dad!” I yelled back, furrowing my eyebrows.

“Answer her young lady! And goddamn Ames, put your f.ucking shirt on.” He yelled once more.

“Dad! STOP!”

“I’M NOT ASKING AGAIN! WHAT IS THIS?!”

“Sir-“ Ames spoke up but my dad shot him up quickly.

“Say one more word, and I’ll kill you.” He spoke with a fire in his eyes, “Ava Milena, tell me what this is.”

“Not until you calm down.” I told him, standing up. He shut his mouth and tried to control himself, “Okay… so this was not the ideal situation to tell you… but Dad, Mom, Ames and I are dating.”

“Dating?” My mother asked.

“Dating?!” My dad screamed out, “Are you kidding me? You piece of sh.it! You get close to my family and my daughter and then you f.uck her?!” Dad said, his fists closing, ready to punch.

“DAD! STOP!” I stood between him and Ames, “Ames is not using me! Ames is my boyfriend! He’s not using me.”

“His hand was under your bra. That’s not using you?” He glared.

I shook my head and rolled my eyes, “Have you ever thought that maybe I wanted his hands to be there?! Newsflash Dad, I’m not a virgin.”

He groaned as Ames spoke up, “Mila, why?”

“Are you on his side?” I asked, turning to face him.

“Okay, enough!” My mother spoke up her voice overpowering all of us, “SIT! EVERYONE!” One thing I knew not to do, was not to go against my mother when she was like this.

“Harp…” Dad started but Mom pointed to the couch with a glare and he buckled.

“I trusted you with Mila. Over and over again!!” He said, fighting his anger through his teeth.

Ames nodded next to me, “I know that.”

“Of course we trust him Miles, we used to babysit him!” Mom told him as she shook her head, “Do you guys really think this is a good idea? This isn’t like dating just anyone… our families… they’re connected for life.” She said.

“How long?” My dad snapped at the two of us.

“About a month.” I told him seriously as I glared back at him. I needed to be an adult with him and he wasn’t budging.

“Mila, what are you thinking?!” His shook his head at me.

“What was I thinking?!” I asked him, “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe that I wanted a man who finally respected me for one? Someone who has his life together and wouldn’t treat me like sh.it?"

“Oh yeah, he looked like he was respecting you when we walked in.” He glared at Ames as he groaned next to me.

“I had to beg him to do that!” I exclaimed.

“Mila.” Ames whined out, shaking his head.

“What? Do you want them to think you’re just using me?!” I asked.

He shook his head, “I’m not using her.” He turned towards my parents, “I’m crazy about her. I have been for years. I know I’m no where near good enough for her, but I will treat her well."

I grabbed Ames’ hand and looked at my Mom and Dad, “I’m going to be with Ames and there’s nothing this family can do to stop me. For the first time in my life, I’m so happy with him. He treats me better than any man before… He’s perfect for me. Despite what he thinks.” I gave him a small smile, “Mom, what’s the difference between him and I and Ben and Camille? Nothing. Ames is an amazing guy. He’s smart, funny, responsible and treats me perfectly.” I sighed, “You’re my parents and I love you two and I want you to be behind me, but if you’re not, then oh well.”

“Do you understand that if you break up, what this could mean for our families?” Harper asked the two of us.

“I don’t plan on us breaking up!” I told them, trying to reason, looking into Ames’ eyes.

“I’m crazy about your daughter. I don’t want to break up with her either.”

“The two of you are young and irresponsible.” My dad scrubbed his hands over his face.

I scoffed, “You knocked up Mom when you were 26. Ames is 30 and I’m almost 26. I’ve made it this far without getting pregnant.”

“A man breaks your heart every couple of months Milena. Maybe it was your mother and I’s fault, but you’re fragile. We coddled you-“

“I’m not fragile! I’ve made mistakes… Dated guys that I shouldn’t have, but I learned! Don’t you understand that I want to be with him! Ava and Corey are happy for us, why can’t you two?”

“Ava and Corey know?!” My mother asked.

I nodded, “We begged them not to say a word. We wanted to tell you ourselves. Not this way, but you get the gist.” I shrugged.

“And they seriously think this is okay?” Mom asked.

Ames shrugged, “I don’t know what they think exactly, but they do know that Mila and I are adults and we’re going to make our own choices about dating. Ava’s known I’ve had a thing for Milena for years…” He said and I looked at him with the biggest smile on my face.

“You mean that Milena had a thing for you.” Dad retorted, “You knew she had a crush on you. You knew it and you took advantage of it.” Dad balled his hands up in fists.

“I swear to god Dad, keep insulting my boyfriend and I’m kicking you out of my apartment.” I told him seriously, defying my dad. I didn’t do it often, but when I did, I meant it.

“I tried to ignore how I felt about her.” Ames interjected, “For years I did, but the way I feel about your daughter? I’ve never felt about anyone. I don’t know if we’ll last forever. I can’t tell the future, and I know we’re taking a risk with our families being so close… but if it does last… if it does work out.” He looked at me and reached for my hand, “I just want to make her happy.”

I practically melted inside.

“Oh god Miles, they’re in love…” My mom looked shocked as she gasped out.

We all snapped our heads in her direction, “What?!” We all exclaimed at once

“We’re not-“ I started as my checks warmed up.

“We just started…” Ames told her as my dad shook his head.

“They don’t even know what lov-“

Mom held up her hand to stop all of us, “We just want you to be happy baby.” She gave me a smile, “Despite how angry your father gets.” She shook her head, “It’s mostly because he was an as.shole and knows how guys minds work… but, and no offense baby, but Ames does have it a little more together than we did when we got together.” She told him as my dad had a look on his face that was indescribable. I tried not to laugh, but it was hard.

“And you trust her?!” Dad ignored Mom, asking his own question.

She sighed, “What do you suggest we do Miles?! Drag her back home and force her to do something that she doesn’t want to? She’ll hate us. Do you want that?” His silence was enough to tell me that deep down he would be okay with us, “This is the part where the two of us, step back and hope that our children make the right choices. Doing this, Miles, will only make them hate us.”

“Thank you Mom.” I gave her a smile and hugged her. I knew she would be supportive.

“And Ames, if you do hurt my baby… Mama bear will bring her claws out.” She smiled at him, making him laugh.

Ames nodded, “If I ever do, you’re welcome to do that.”

“So what, we just go on like nothing is different?” Dad asked, still angry.

I shook my head, “No Dad. Things have changed, but for the better. Please trust me to know I am making the right decision. I won’t feel right about this until you back me…”

“I will never be equipped to give you away Milena.” He sighed, “I want to protect you until the day I die. I’m scared you’ll get hurt.”

“Sometimes I have to dad… It’s just a way of life, but I trust Ames. You know he’s a good guy! You wouldn’t have been so welcoming to him if he wasn’t! Please Dad…” I pleaded with my father.

He sighed, “It’s going to take me a while to get used to…” He trailed off, “And if you ever disrespect my daughter, I will hurt you.” He glared at Ames.

I giggled, “Thank you.”

Dad sighed, “I’m going to need a lot of alcohol to get the image of you two out of my head."

“That’s good babe, teach your daughter that booze is the way to recover.” Mom shook her head and I bit my lip to keep from laughing.

“You’re lucky your mother has a better head on her shoulders than I do.” Dad reached out for her and pulled her into a kiss.

“Miles!” She objected.

“Hey, I got more than an eyeful, they can watch us kissed.” I groaned trying to push thoughts out of my head.

“I’ve seen more than that…” I grumbled under my breath as Ames turned towards me and tried not to laugh.

“Come on.” Mom dragged Dad out as they waved goodbye, shutting the door behind them.

I sighed, “Wel… that could have gone better…” Ames trailed off, making me laugh.

“It could have gone worse too.” I told him, sighing once more as I leaned in to kiss him softly, “Thanks for being great.”

He gave me a smile, “I didn’t do anything."
