A smile spread across my face as my boyfriend held the car door open for me. "Woah, what a gentleman," Richard remarked with a whistle. 
                          
"Only the best for my girl," Joel said with a wink. I laughed so hard because honestly only he and Richard responded with a gag. "Oh shut up, both of you," he said pointing at us. I grabbed the hand that he was using to point at us and intertwined it with mine. He gave me a cute little smile. 
                          
"Gaging, that's what I'm doing right now," Richard said faking a gag 
                          
"Shut up," I said leaning over to push him 
                          
"Ugh, we're going to be dealing with this for a whole two months," Richard said motioning as us. I gave him a pout. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding," he said with a laugh 
                          
"Haha," Joel and I said fake laughing with him. To which Zabdiel responded to by actually laughing. "I hate you guys," I stated 
                          
"You can't say that with a straight face, babe," Joel said kissing me on the top of the head. I dug my head into his shoulder and looked up at him with a smile. 
                          
"You right," I said sticking out my tongue. "Ugh, the food smells so good," I groaned 
                          
"Eso si," Zabdiel agreed as we all walked through the Pimentel house. We walked into the dining room and a smile formed on my face as I noticed how happy Joel was to be reunited with his family. I made my way over to my mom and kissed her good morning and then did the same with my dad. 
                          
"Buenos días mi niña," my dad said embracing 
                          
"Good morning papi," I said kissing his cheek. I felt a hand on the small of my back and I turned around to see that it was Joel's mom. "Good morning Patty," I said giving her a hug. 
                          
"Good morning gorgeous! How did you sleep?" She asked "You should've stayed over," 
                          
"I slept good, thanks for asking, I stayed at home because I didn't want to leave Zab and Richard there all alone and I was already going, it was late anyway," I said giving her a smile "what about you, also do you need help with anything, I'm sorry that we're kinda late," 
                          
"No, no you sit. You've done enough, you were such a big help with Israel's party. And I've slept better than I have in months knowing that my baby was under this roof," she said with such a cute smile on her face 
                          
"Awe, i could imagine, we've all missed him like crazy," 
                          
"Who have you missed like crazy?" Joel asked embracing me from behind
                          
"Renato," I joked and his mom laughed. She reached and cupped his face and blew a kiss at the both of us. 
                          
"I'm so glad that you're taking her on tour with you. You two really needed this," Patty said sincerely 
                          
"Me too," I said with a smile as Joel kissed me on the cheek 
                          
"Go grab something to eat," she said motioning is towards the kitchen 
                          
"Let's go baby," Joel said resting his chin on my shoulder 
                          
"Okay," I said grabbing his hand. We walked into the kitchen and ran into his cousin who said hello to us. "Ugh, everything looks so good, god bless your abuela," 
                          
"I know," Joel said grabbing us some plates 
                          
"I'm glad you ended up coming," I said leaning my face on his bicep. "I really missed you," 
                          
"Oh, I thought you missed Renato," 
                          
"Shut up you loser," I said lightly punching his back 
                          
"That hurt," he said with a pout
