She blushed, sending him a look. "Please, Eli, it's not like you're the first Jewish guy I've ever met. This is Los Angeles for Christ's sake." She began driving back to the hospital.

Eli laughed, shaking his head. "She won't hate you. She won't be happy, but it's not like we're getting married."

She shrugged. "True." Though, even if they were, she thought it was a little old-fashioned it would be an issue. She pulled up to his van when they reached the lot. "I'll just follow you."

"Ok great!" Eli got out of her car and got into his van, blasting music and driving back to his place.

She followed after him, singing in her car, in a pretty good mood.

He pulled into his driveway, and waited for her to walk inside. "Remember, I didn't stay at your place."

She nodded. "Right." She wanted to take his hand, but wasn't sure if she should.

Eli led them into his house. "Ma? I'm home."
Eli's mother, Rachel, came out from the kitchen. "This is the friend you stayed the night with?" She asked, pointing a large spoon at Natalie.
"No! Ma, I was at my friend Bryce's last night. Natalie and a few girls were there too. I invited Natalie because I wanted you to meet her. Is Dad making chocolate chip pancakes?" Eli asked, poking his head in the kitchen. "DAD. Come meet Natalie."
Eli's mother smiled at Natalie. "Well. Eli hasn't brought a girl home before. It's nice to meet you." Eli's dad, Charlie, came out, wiping his hands. "Does she like bagels and lox?"
Eli looked at Natalie. "Do you like bagels and lox?"

"Yes. Love it." She answered automatically, with big eyes. She actually had no idea if she liked it, since she'd never had it. She did grab Eli's hand now, suddenly overwhelmed by the idea of meeting anybody's parents.

"Great!" Charlie exclaimed, smiling and heading back into the kitchen, Rachel following. Eli led Natalie to the living room where his brother Eric was watching tv and his younger sister was snuggling on the couch with her boyfriend.
"Hey all. This is Natalie. Natalie, that's Eric-" he pointed to Eric, who was clearly high as a kite- "my sister, Erin, and her lame-o boyfriend Dave." He plopped Natalie down on another chair.
"I'm gonna shower. I'll be back."

Natalie gave Eli a terrified look. "You--I--you're leaving me??"
David shot Eli a look, wrapping his arm tighter around Erin. "He tends to enjoy making things uncomfortable for people."

Eli laughed. "Just for like 5 minutes. I smell like hospital and sweat."
Erin rolled her eyes. "Go." And she moved towards the side of the couch as Eli left. "You're pretty. What the hell do you see in my brother?"

Natalie cleared her throat, shifting nervously as she stood awkwardly in the living room. "He's been nice to me."

"But he got kicked out of school. Because of pigs. Please tell me he told you that," Erin said, and Eric laughed.
"Erin quit being a cockblock." Eric threw a pillow at her.

Natalie blushed and nodded. "He told me. I thought it was funny. Stupid, I guess. But funny."
