Elizabeth had told Andrew that she was waiting to introduce him to her father until their relationship was steady but she honestly just didn't know if she wanted him to know him. It wasn't that her father was a cruel man who didn't have a heart at all and mistreated his only daughter but he wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy. He was just the type of person who didn't express their emotions well and believed that the key to happiness is wealth. He always gave Elizabeth the best of the best because he thought that was the best way of saying that he loved her. She appreciated the things that he did for her, of course, but that didn't mean that she wouldn't have loved him to show a little affection.
She'd warned Andrew multiple times that this was not a simple 'meet the parents' thing but more of an event and that he needed to dress his best or her father would spend the whole time thinking that he was going to rob them. Yeah.. He was that kind of a person. Her stepmother, Diamond was going to be there obviously which was mildly concerning considering that she use to do playboy and she always flaunted her body so Andrew was going to have something to look at... Yeah, she still wasn't completely over the fact that he'd cheated on her the first chance that he got over the summer. Forgiving him had been the best choice that she'd ever made but she'd be naive to forget about the incident entirely. "Are you nervous? Because you shouldn't be! I mean.. It won't be that bad." She'd been rambling the entire drive to her dad's house and it had to be annoying by now.
It was actually like an hour long drive outside of the city so it was a long time to hear her nervously explain everything that was likely to happen during this dinner. She just hoped that it wasn't as awful as it was in her head... Maybe Andrew would even like her father? Stranger things have happened, right? Upon walking in the door of her childhood mansion, she was greeted by the butler who took their jackets and informed them that Walker and Diamond would be down in a moment but that Walker Junior was with the nanny in the formal living room if they'd like to see him. She actually kind of did and she knew that there'd be delicious food ready so it was a win-win.. Why not introduce Andrew to the cutest member of her family first? He was almost three so he was much more fun than Diamond and Walker as well... He immediately raced over to her when he spotted her leading Andrew into the room. "Who's that?" He asked as he pointed to Andrew with a curious expression.
"This is my boyfriend, Andrew.. Andrew, this is my younger half-brother, Walker." She lifted the little boy up before reaching for a cracker and caviar. Who doesn't love fish eggs? "Are you hungry, babe?" He'd probably prefer something like Wing Stop...
