Sarah is feeling nervous, which is an unusual occurrence for the normally unflappable young army officer. She is with Alan outside his house right now. He's going to introduce her to his mom and dad today. This is a very important part of their relationship. She hopes that they won't frown upon her due to the age difference. He assured her that they are going to be fine with it since he already told them how much she means to him, but she is still concerned. Alan just gives her a warm smile and tell her to relax, and let him handle most of the talking. He knows them very well, since he is their son.
"Trust me, baby. They will warm up to you once they can see how much we mean to each other," Alan promises her with a little smile. "And even if they do not approve, I already belong to you. I will follow you wherever you go." He leans up on his tip toe to kiss his taller girlfriend's cheek reassuringly. "If this goes well I'll do anything you want in the bedroom today." Of course, Alan already pretty much lets his girlfriend do anything she wants to do to him, but his words provide the extra incentive she needs and she regains control of herself.
When they get inside the room, Sarah finds herself face to face with her young boyfriend's parents. She sees that they are looking at her a bit sternly, turning red for how nervous she is. "So," Alan's mother begins. "I assume that you are Sarah, the girlfriend Alan mentioned." Sarah nods. "Well, I must say that he wasn't exaggerating when he told us all about how beautiful you are. But you are older than him, aren't you? Why are you not with a guy your own age?" The woman's husband shoots her a swift look, warning her to take things slowly.
Sarah doesn't blame her for feeling so protective of Alan. He is the kind of boy that gets taken advantage of by women, being so cute and submissive. But he can also rise to the occasion and defend someone he cares about. "Mom, I want you and dad to know that she is only five years older than me. We met after I already turned 18 so there's nothing wrong about our relationship. We are both consenting adults and that is that. There is nothing else to discuss." Sarah feels so proud of him for standing up for her but she also knows that this is a battle she has to fight herself too.
Alan's mom sighs. "I wasn't asking you for your opinion, Alan, but thanks for offering it anyway," she tells him curtly. Then she turns back to face the pretty officer. "Go on. Tell me. Why should I approve of your relationship with my teenage son?" Alan is about to tell her that he would leave home if she won't accept the relationship, but decides to wait and listen to his girlfriend's reply first. He watches Sarah's face as she thinks of the best reply possible in this circumstance. It isn't as easy as Sarah thought it would be when she first set foot into his house.
Finally, she says "I do want you to like me and approve of us dating, but he is an adult now and I respect his decision making. He wants to be with me and I also love him, so I will hold his hand and never let go. I respect you but I can not and will not let you come between our love." Then she holds Alan's hand in hers, squeezing it in a reassuring way to let him know that she is going to stick by him and will never abandon him when things start to get difficult. He could feel his heart expand with the love that is inside.
Eventually, his mother sighs and nods, and everyone in the room exhale with relief. "Okay, you convinced me. I now believe that you really care about my son," she says to the appreciative Sarah who is smiling thankfully at her. "But don't you ever hurt my boy. I know you do boxing. My son told me. It won't save you from me though. If you ever hurt my son it will be the end of you. Got that?" Sarah has never been one to scare easily, and going through West Point made her feel near invincible, but even the army officer has to admit that the protective mom is intimidating her.
Now the boy speaks up again. "Mom, I can take care of myself now. I'm not a baby anymore. No need for you to be so overprotective." He sighs, before giving her a small smile. "But thanks for being okay with us. I promise, I wasn't lying when I told you that she is really good to me." He turns to kiss Sarah on the lips. His mother sighs, just accepting it like his father does. The two of them are watching the young lovebirds and thinking of themselves when they were younger and in their own whirlwind romance.
"Your mother is just looking out for you and so am I," Alan's dad speaks up for the first time since Sarah got there. He walks over to pat his son's shoulder in a kind way, before turning to look at the tall, muscular woman. "You take good care of my son, okay? He is yours now. Like my wife said, just don't hurt him and we will be fine." They sit down to eat together, enjoying the warm meal. It is rare for their family to have another person at the table, but since she is Alan's girlfriend, the parents now make an effort to get to know her.
Alan is grateful for them caring about him and he lets them know this. He and Sarah tell the two everything about how they met and got together, except for the spicy details. Both agree that it wouldn't be right to tell his mom and dad about those parts about how easily she got into his pants, despite how he told them both that he is still waiting for marriage. Everything seems to be going great. It's all perfect. They can accept the age difference and all that. And then something incredibly crazy happens right before their eyes.
Andrea enters through the front door that was locked. "I made a copy of the key you gave me before returning it," she says to Alan. "That way I can come by whenever I want to." Then she sees Sarah sitting there with Alan and his parents. "Who the hell is this bitch? Is she like your relative or something?" Oh this is going to be really good, Alan thinks to himself, feeling sweat forming on his forehead. No, it isn't going to be too bad or anything. He is sure that he can fix this, before it becomes a total clusterfuck.
"This is Sarah, my girlfriend that I told you about before, several times in fact. You never believed me because you did not think anyone would be interested in me, but you were wrong," Alan says. He then faces his older girlfriend. "She is the cheating ex-girlfriend that I told you about." Andrea is shocked and also pissed off to see that Alan didn't make his new girlfriend up. She could see that Sarah is hotter than she is, being taller with a prettier face, longer hair and much bigger boobs. Andrea can't hold a candle to her at all.
