Unknown P.O.V

I watched them through the window. She was telling him everything, and he vowed to protect her with his life. But even Carter couldn't stop what was about to happen.

I've been watching her. Ever since the day I met her, I became infatuated with her. I only wanted her. No one else.

"So, you are positive that this will work. I get my Carter and you get the girl?" Anastasia asks

"Are you doubting me?" I ask her

"N-no sir," she says

"Good. We already have the Randazza's onboard. Jake and I have agreed that you and him will have your fun with her and then she will be mine. As for Carter, I'd like for him to watch as Jake deals with her properly. I want to make sure he feels powerless. After that, then you can have your way with him." I say

"Ok, sounds like a plan," she says

"We've seen her. Carter really does care about her. Are you positive this will work?" Jake asks

"I know that Carter really cares about her you dumbass. Doesn't take a scientist to figure that out. And yes, I'm positive this will work. They will never see it coming." I say, looking at a picture of Steph

"Soon, Angel. Soon I will have you all to myself."

Carter's P.O.V

To say I was angry or furious would be the biggest understatement of the year. I promised her that I would protect her, and make sure that she never gets hurt again. And I was willing to live up to that promise.

Right now, it was early morning and she had fallen asleep in my arms after getting changed out of her work clothes. We watched a movie and shortly after she was fast asleep.

If anything ever happened to her, I don't think I would ever be able to forgive myself.

Steph's P.O.V

I wake up because the sun was coming in through the window, shining directly into my eyes. I look around for Carter, but see no sign of him.

I didn't bother changing out of Carter's sweatshirt and headed downstairs. I saw him in the kitchen in just sweatpants cooking breakfast. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist.

"Morning," I say

"Morning. You sleep well?" He asks

"Yeah. I did," I say

"Good, good." He says

"Where's Steve?" I ask

"I told him to take a day off," Carter says

"Ohhhh, ok," I say

We sit down at the table making small talk, trying to figure out what to do with our lives today. We decide on just watching movies and having a lazy day, because what else would two lazy ass people do with their lives. Halfway through the second movie, Carter's phone rings.

"Hello?" He says "Yeah I'm home," "Like right now?" "Later on today?" "How about 7?" "Yea sounds great." "Of course I'll bring her." You've met her before though." "Yep, love you too." "Bye"

"My mom wants us over for dinner tonight," with that, I almost choke on my water

"I'm sorry what?" I ask in disbelief

"Mi madre wanto to meeto youuuu foro dinnerito," he says adding o's at the ends of words to make it another language

"Uhhhhhhh, I don't know Carter. What if she hates me?" I ask

"How could she possibly hate you?" He asks

"True, I'm fucking amazing," I say with a dramatic hair flip

"That you are," he says with a chuckle "Now, go get dressed, we leave at 6:15," he says

"Aye, aye Captain!" I say with a salute. Jumping up to get to my closet. I decide to call Tara since she would be very useful in this situation.

"Hey girl!" She says

"Hey. So Carter wants me to meet his parents and I have no clue in what to wear," I say quickly

"OMG! Shut up. You're joking," she says

"Nope!" I say

"Ok, let me see what you got," she says

After about a million dresses and skirts, Tara finally picks which one she thinks would be perfect.

We decided I should wear this:

I left my hair out and went downstairs seeing that it was getting pretty close to 6:15.

Carter was wearing:

(I had to, I'm sorry. He's just so freaking perfect. Anyway back to the story 🤪)

"Damn. Looks like we had the same thing in mind," I says, noticing that we both had on leather jackets

"I guess we did. You ready to go?" He asks

"Yea, lets go," I say

We drive for about 45 minutes to Carter's parents' house. We pull up into the driveway and all I could say was that the house was breathtakingly beautiful.

Carter then knocks on the door and when it opens his mother quickly pulls him in for a hug.

"Oh how I've missed you son," she says kissing him on the cheek "And this must be her. Isn't she the girl from the office? I knew you two would end up together," she says

"You-you did?" I ask

"Well of course. Have you seen the way he looks at you? And he always finds a way to talk about you. This boy doesn't shut up about you." She says

"All good things I hope." I reply

"Yes, yes. Very good things. Now come in, come in," she says, opening the door wider for us to walk in

"You have a lovely home Mrs. Mason," I say

"Thank you, dear. And please, call me Isobel." She says with a smile. We follow Carter's mom into the kitchen where 2 other men and a woman are.

"Babe, this is my dad" he says pointing to his father "This is my brother Andrew and my sister Monica," he says

"Hello, nice to meet you," I say, my nerves getting the best of me

"Come, come sit down," his father says, pointing to the chair next to him.

When dinner was ready, I sat in between Carter and his father and Carter's other two siblings sat across from us with his mother.

"So tell us, dear, where are you from?" Carters mother asked

"Pittsburg, Pennsylvania." I say

"Very nice," she says

"Do you have any siblings?" His father asks, who's name I learned was William.

"Yes, a brother. He's in the army," I say

"Well thank you for his service then," he replies back

"So how did you and Carter meet?" His mother asks

"Work," I say

"She's my P.A mom," Carter adds

"Right, right." She says

After some more small talk, Carter's mother invites us to the living room, where we are greeted with multiple photo albums on the table.

"Now I have some photos of when Carter was young-," his mother starts

"Mom, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to see baby pictures. You must be tired Steph, lets go home. Ok bye mom and-," Carter says

"No,no I'd love to see what you looked like when you were a little baby," I say sitting next to Carter's mom.

After looking trough the albums and photos l, I couldn't help but be in awe.

"Awwwww, you were so adorable," I say

"Were? What am I now then?" He says playfully offended.

"Eh, you're alright I guess," I reply. The rest of Carter's family just laughs. Soon it's 12 am, and Carter and I get ourselves ready to head home.

"I had a wonderful time, Mr. and Mrs. Mason," I say

"It was wonderful meeting you, Stephanie. And please call us Isobel and William. Adding the Mr. and Mrs. makes us feel old."

"Will do, Isobel and William. Have a nice night." I say

"You too, dear," they say. And with that we walk back to Carter's car.

"I think they like me," I say

"Trust me, they love you," Carter says, giving me a quick kiss and starting the car.

The drive home was filled with the usual, music and laughter.

"So much for having a lazy day," Carter says, opening the door to the house.

"We can have one tomorrow, or today since it's after 12 already," I say

"Sounds like a plan," he says

After taking a shower and brushing our teeth, Carter and I head to bed, and soon after let sleep take over.
