Snippet #2083136

Kate smiled as they drove down the private road that lead to the cabin. As we pulled up she couldn't help but lean over and kiss him gently on the lips before running out of the car. "Alright...I can get the bags." Jace chucked running his fingers through his hair.

Quickly making her way inside, "Hello?" she called gently smiling at the memories that assaulted her from the familiar cabin. "Mom? Dad? Anyone?" she laughed as her mother came from the kitchen nearly tacking her.

"Katelynn sweetheartI have missed you so much." she said hugging me tight before pulling away to look at me. "You look amazing baby. Darling come here, come look at our daughter."

Kate internally rolled her eyes at her mother but still smiled, "I missed you too, mom. A lot." she said hugging her father as he walked in. "Hi daddy."

He chucked at her. "Hi princess. You look extra happy to be home." he said looking at her blinding smile.

She nodded, "Yeah, I am but there something else I am really excited for. I have a surprise-" Hearing someone on the stairs she turned to the side gasping, her smile becoming nearly impossible. "Phillip!" she said all but running halfway up the stairs and hugging her best friend. "I missed you most of all I have to say. Strange even though we're in the same state for college." she said pointedly, to the fact that he was always either studying or with some girl and rarely had time to see her during the school year.

"Baby, I have to say I am pretty lucky most girls pack 7 bags extra. You just have-" he stopped seeing everyone in the room. "Oh I thought everyone would be-" he stopped turning a twinge pink before clearing his throat . "Hello, Mrs. Madison, Mr. Madison and..." he said trying to excude he normal confidence but Kate could hear the nervousness as he spoke to my parents and the jelous tint to his voice as he looked at Phillip and myself.

She smiled sheepishly seeing her parents looking at her for an answer as to who this was in their cabin. "Mom, Dad, Phillip...this is my boyfriend Jace." she said walking down the stair grabbing his hand. "I kind of invited him to stay with us."

Her father looked at the boy with guarded eyes. "Katelynn don't tell me this is your-"

She smiled nodding. "Suprise!" she said sheepishly with a smile before leaning up and kissing Jace's cheek to ease his nerves. "Everything will be fine." she whispered.

He looked at all of them looking at her, "I am sorry if I suprised you I really thought you all knew." he said rubbing the back of his head.

Mom shook her head smiling. "No it's fine we all were really quiet suprised. Let me show you where to put your things." she said leading him away not before looking back to her daughter and winking. "He's cute." she mouthed walking upstairs.

Kate's father sighed shaking he head muttering something about needing a drink as he went into the kitchen.

She looked at her best friend who's expression was unreadable at best as he stared at her. "So.....?" she said with a raised eyebrow hoping to know what was running through his mind to cause such an expression.
