As well as Taylor knew your family, she couldn't help but still feel shy around them sometimes.
Even though she knew that your family loved and adored her, being shy just doesn't go away at times. The family reunion would be taking place at your family's mansion, and it was something you've been really looking forward to.
Especially now that you were with Taylor. Although she has attended family gatherings with you in the past, this would be the first time spending overnight together in the home you grew up and with the family who raised you. Once you had arrived, you were warmly greeted by each family member who were already there before showing Taylor where you both would be staying.
Over a phone call with your mother, you requested that you and Taylor shared your old bedroom and it was agreed. When you took Taylor to get settled in your upstairs bedroom, it still looked the same as you had left it, everything that you left behind was still in place almost as if you never had even left. The bedroom was huge, you had a massive walk in closet with clothes still hanging on the racks on both sides of it, piles of shoes placed under it. At the end of the closet hall, there stood french like doors that lead to a good size bathroom. As you show this to Taylor, she really seemed in awe, pretty much mesmerized by it while looking around of the surroundings with widened yet, beautiful blue eyes.
"Incredible."
Hearing that couldn't deny the fact that her words made your heart flutter.
Taylor's reaction was far different, and one you'd prefer to have gotten over the ones you got from your former friends. After you had invited your former friends into your home, and kindly giving them a tour of your bedroom, they stopped hanging out with you not long after and started judging, gossiping behind your back. Saying the cruelest things they could come up, rumors that are just not true at all.
"If she's trying to make us feel broke and and homeless, she did a fine damn job at that." one would say.
None of that was true, what was true was that all of that was said just out of pure jealousy.
Up until you met Taylor, you were friendless and looking back in the past, you still couldn't believe where you are now, by Taylor's side and that's where you always want to be. You hadn't a clue in the world of any idea how you got so lucky, but all that matters to you now was the life you were sharing together. Taylor is a gentle soul with a kind heart, bubbly fun personality and words couldn't describe how good she was to you. As all of that was running through your mind, those thoughts were interrupted by Taylor.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, just that how lucky I am to have you."
The two of you smiled brightly at each other, though you could see Taylor's cheeks blushing a little as you said those words before Taylor starts to lean in for a kiss, leaning in until your lips meet.
You were both in such a bliss that it made you almost forget where you both were at. Right as the kiss started becoming more passionate than ever before, your door suddenly swung open, causing you both to pull apart quickly. The intrusion was completely unexpected, nearly frightening you and Taylor out of your skin. There in the doorway, stood your younger brother, (B/n), looking just as surprised and a little embarrassed as the both of you.
"Sorry... I didn't know I was interrupting anything." he starts.
You continue to just stare back at him, not saying a word as he takes that as sign to continue on.
"Um, mom has been calling for you guys. The rest of the family is here and dinner is ready."
Taylor looks away, clearly shy and embarrassed.
"Okay, we will be down there in a minute."
With that, (B/n) nods in understanding before heading back downstairs. You almost feel bad that (B/n) had witnessed the two of you kissing the way you did for the first time, but you couldn't help but find it funny as well.
This is going to leave a scar on him for a little while.
Taylor was not only embarrassed, but now she was even more shy than she already was.
It was enough that she even insisted on staying behind while you go back down to help out the last preparations for the family meal and activities for that night. Taylor started feeling guilty over the scene (B/n) had mistakenly walked into. Instead of allowing her to do that, you comfort and reassure her that everything would be okay, more than okay in fact. You also made sure to remind her just how much your family loves her no matter what, and that seemed to help settle her emotions as she agreed to follow you back downstairs to lend a helping hand. The evening really did turn out more than okay, you both were having the time of your lives as you participated in every activity, every game that had been planned for that night.
Taylor even pulled out her guitar and played a few songs on it, which everyone enjoyed. When the time had come to head back home, Taylor was no longer shy around your family, nor was she ever since.
Best family reunion ever!
