Looking up at him, as he came to the table, he put the plate in front of her, along with a knife and fork.She still had a glass of milk, and she took a long sip.George had a large glass of milk as well.
“You went grocery shopping,” Larissa said.
“Yeah, when I got here and Jonah told me how to get inside, I checked the fridge and freezer, saw that you only had a ham sandwich for dinner tonight, so I went and stocked everything up for you.”
“I bet that was an experience.”
“I’ve gone to the grocery store a lot over the years.”
“You have?”
“Okay, not recently, but I used to go all the time for my parents, as well as for the club when I was prospecting.”
“Prospecting?”
“Earning my place at the club.It’s not an automatic entrance.You have to prove yourself, and I did.It’s a lot of hard work and humiliation, but the reward was totally worth it.Speaking of my parents, this Sunday we’re going to dinner there.”
“We’re going?”
“Yes, I would like you to meet them.Is that cool with you?”he asked.
“You’re asking if I would go?”
“I would appreciate it if you did.It would help me a lot.I know my mom is pissed at me how all of this has happened, but they would love to meet you.”
She already knew his mom and dad, but they hadn’t been formally introduced.
“Okay,” Larissa said.
Her father was still going to be away.
Dinner at George’s house.It seemed like a recipe for disaster.
“Great.My brothers are going to be there and so are Harlow and Hunter.”
“Oh,” Larissa said.“It’s not just going to be with your parents?”
“Unfortunately not.They’re taking the whole relationship with their kids to a new level,” he said.
“Okay.”
Was she okay with that?
“Don’t worry.I won’t leave you on your own.Unless you want me to.”
“You’re the oldest, right?”
“Yes, It’s me, then Callum, Michael, Bernard, Erick, Jude, and then little Harlow.”George smiled.
That did not sound overwhelming at all.
“Where are you going to sleep?”Larissa asked.
“I’ve already set up the guest room,” George said.“Where Raven stayed when she lived here.”
Larissa nodded.This was fine.It was going to be a piece of cake.
George was going to be around, and she was going to have some help around the house.Ava was going to find another employee, it was all going to work.Although, she did have doubts.
