I waved at them again. “Nice to meet you all.” It warmed my heart when Nash told his family that I was someone special in his life.
I went to claim a seat and waited for Nash to talk to his parents.
I strolled through my social media accounts and smiled at some comments I got. Some men were so thirsty that it made no sense. I shook my head at them and went on TikTok. During my free time, I liked to watch other people color too. As much as I wanted to start a colortok page, I didn’t. That would be too much on me.
Nash came and claimed a seat next to me. “Are you good? Do you want anything to drink? We have soda or even wine coolers if you want that.”
“I’ll take a soda. Since I haven’t eaten anything, I don’t want to drink alcohol on an empty stomach.”
He nodded. “Fair enough. The food should be ready soon. My family eats as a family.”
I waved what he said off. “I’m fine and am okay with that. I’m okay with waiting.”
While we waited, Nash’s sisters came and talked to me.
“How long have you and our brother been talking?” Dalesha asked.
“It’s been a month now.”
Her eyes widened in shock. “What? Really? That’s a short amount of time, yet y’all look so cozy together.”
If only she knew we’ve been more than cozy with each other. Hell, he ate my box out of the frame. Heat tinted my cheeks at the thought that ran through my mind.
Nash got up and left me to talk with his sisters. He was wrong for that, but I could handle my own. They seemed like nice women.
“Yeah, your brother is very nice and caring. Since getting to know him, I’ve never had to question how he feels about me.” Although we weren’t in a relationship, Nash and I grew very close fast. I could see us getting into a relationship very soon too.
Talesha smiled. “That’s our brother. No matter who he meets, he’s always friendly. Everyone likes to be around him.”
I’d been seeing that too. Nash was a man many people liked, which was a good thing.
Nash came back with the Coke and gave it to me. It was too cold for me to drink right now. I couldn’t stand to drink a beverage that was too cold. It gave me chills even if it was hot outside.
When his parents finished with the food, we all sat at the long table with all the food in front of us. All of it had my mouth watering. I couldn’t wait to dive in.
“What is it that you do for a living, Kenzlee?” Nash’s mother asked me.
“I’m a veterinarian,” I stated proudly.
Talesha shook her head. “Oh no, ma’am. Animals and I don’t mix at all. I couldn’t.”
I chuckled because Farrah had said the same thing before.
Dalesha smacked her lips, reaching for a dinner roll. “You’re only saying that because we’re allergic.”
Talesha mean mugged her sister but said nothing.
“Is the work hard? Do the animals bite?”
I nodded. “Yes. Some do bite, but I have a way of calming them down.”
They all stared at me as if I spoke another language. Nash had a small smile on his face as he ate.
“For real?” his father asked in awe.
I only nodded.
“Do you handle stray animals too? I have a lot of raccoons around my house that need to get the hell away.” His mother pouted.
