A week later, after multiple lunch dates and late night walks, Lisa and Jordan were studying together at the nearest library. After their study session, they walked out of the library and the sky was changing, it seems like the rain is about to pour anytime soon.
"Jordan, a moment please?", she said, he pulled his bag and walked closer to her, she stood against the wall and then she said, "My family is having a party tonight and I'd love it if you came with me", this time she allowed him to consider.
"Okay", he said shortly, she smiled and longed for a straightforward answer, "Okay? You're coming?", she asked, he chuckled and nodded, "I'll be there Lisa". She jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around him with excitement, she sighed with relief and said, "You need to get a haircut though, I mean the beard too", he smiled and nodded.
They got into his car and drove off.

It's later in the day, about an hour before it's time for Jordan to drive to Lisa's home. While he prefers his outfit for the night, he heard a knock at the door, he rushed to the door, he unlocked the door and opened it, "Stranger!", Theo said with excitement, he's brought a couple of drinks.
He comes in, Jordan closes the door and goes into his bedroom, "What's with the clothes?", he said, referring to Jordan's hundred racks of clothes on the bed. "I'm meeting Lisa's family tonight, so I need something perfect", he said with a nervous sigh.
Theo's jaw almost dropped, "Meeting the family?", he asked, Jordan chuckled and said, "Don't say shit, just help me pick out an outfit".
Meanwhile, Lisa is helping her mother, Samantha set up the table, she's nervously breathing, it's written all over her face, "You're good?", her mother asks with concern, Lisa breathes out and says, "I just want everything to go well".
Samantha chuckles and puts the cloth down, she comes near Lisa and she wraps her into her arms, Lisa exhales as if she's surrounded by her calmest aura. "Just make sure that he shows up on time, I think that him agreeing to come over is good enough for assurance, so stay calm, okay?", her mother said.
Lisa sighed and smiled at her mother, they carried on to set up the table.

Jordan parks his black car at the gate, he steps out of the car, bearing gifts, he's wearing black pants, a brown long-sleeved shirt. He walked into the gate, he walked to the door, he fixed his collar before he knocked, he knocked and waited for a response nervously.
A few seconds later, Lisa rushed to the door and opened the door, she jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around him as if she hasn't seen him in years. "You're here!", she said with excitement and relief, he smiled at her reaction to his presence, "I'm here, I'm nervous", he said.
She chuckled and gave him a quick kiss, "Don't be, come in", Lisa said and then she stepped aside for him to walk in. He walked into the beautiful big mansion, everything was in white, the walls, the kitchen, he took a deep breath and then he followed Lisa in her brown dress.
She led him into the lounge, where there was a man, a woman, her best friend and a young lady. "Mom, dad, this is Jordan, a friend of mine", she introduced him to her parents, her father put his glass on the table and approached Jordan, simultaneously with her mother.
"Hey son, I'm Samantha, nice to meet you", Lisa's mother said, shaking Jordan's hand, "Nice to meet you ma'am", he said nervously, there was clear resemblances between Lisa and her mother, she definitely got her beauty and morals from her mother.
"Oh, before I forget, I brought you something ma'am", he said while he handed her a bouquet of flowers, "Thank you so much son, this is very nice", Samantha said with gratitude. She walked back to the kitchen to put them in a vase of water, while Lisa's father made his introduction.
Lisa walked away, she joined the two young ladies on the couch.
"Jordan?", Lisa's dad asked, Jordan gulped and wiped his hand against his pants, "Yes sir, nice to meet you", he said and offered to shake his hand, "Okay let's make this clear", he said while he shook Jordan's hand with a tight grip.
"I can see that she cares about you, but if you dare make her cry, I'm gonna break your face. Understood?", Jordan nodded and made a deal with Lisa's dad, "Leave the child alone Donald", Lisa's mother said with a chuckle. Donald laughed and changed his mood, "Oh we're just getting to know each other my love", he said.
Lisa came to Jordan's escape and pulled his arm, "Come meet my sister", she said, she grabbed a glass of juice and handed it to Jordan, "Here, it seems like you need it", she said with a smile. He chuckled, "I do actually", he said with relief, she looked at him and fixed his collar.
They walked to her sister, they sat down on the couch nearby, "Jordan, this is Victoria, my older sister and you already know Zara". He shook Victoria's hand and Zara's hand too, "Nice to meet you Victoria", he said before he took another sip of his drink, she smiled at Lisa and said "I've heard a lot about you Jordan, my little sister here seems to like you a lot".
Lisa jumped out of the couch, "Okay! How about we go outside for air?", she said, Jordan laughed and agreed, they both stood up and walked to the garden. "This crib is really unbelievable, it's so big", he said as he looked around, she chuckled and said "What did my father say to you?".
He looked at her and swallowed his words, "Oh so you're not gonna tell me?", she asked, he chuckled and changed the subject, "Why am I hearing these good things that you feel about me from everybody but you?", he asked. She rolled her eyes and before she could answer, one of Jordan's skeletons walked in, Lovely.
Lovely, the same girl that Jordan met at a party after his fallout with Lisa, the same Lovely that he had sex with multiple times, what could she be doing here?
"Lovely!", Lisa said with excitement while she ran to her, Jordan couldn't believe his eyes, he just stood there with disbelief in his eyes, "Hey Lisa, I missed you!", Lovely said, wrapping her arm around Lisa.
After their reunion, Lisa held Lovely's hand and walked her to Jordan, Lovely almost bit her tongue when she saw Jordan, "Lovely, this is my boyfriend, Jordan, this is my half-sister", Lisa said with a smile.
Sister? Oh no..
