DIANA
We were sited in Branden’s limousine, I was dressed in my black off shoulder and black heels, I kept my composure calm. Although I could hear my heart throbbing loudly, beads of cold sweat began to drip down from my hands. This is so much of a big deal to me.
“Are you ready?” Branden asked.
“I feel a little nervous” I replied.
“Nervous? don’t be, my parents are sweet people” he raised my hand and kissed it.
This was the very first time I was going to meet his parents, I’m nervous and self conscious, I can’t afford to say things that aren’t relevant or things to might seem weird to his parents.
They might as well examine my dressing and probably my use of english, rich people wouldn’t like their children to have uneducated people as their partners.
“No matter how much you kiss my hands and open doors for me to come out, you’re still more of a beast than a gentleman” I smirked, trying so hard to subdue the tensed atmosphere.
Well I was the only one tensed in the car, Branden would be the tensed person if he was to meet my parents. As much as it hurts that will never be possible.
I’ll never get to speak to them till the day I die and it hurts everyday, I felt so alone without them, I had my sister but it was never the same without my parents.
I wish I could bring them back but I can’t, meanwhile I’m stuck with this cocky hot man who arouses me at every chance he gets.
“What do you mean? How am i a beast?” he stared at me.
“My pussy still hurts Branden?”
“You should be happy your legs don’t hurt too, now quit whining and come out of the damn car” he stepped out of the car and opened the door for me. My heels married the ground firmly as I stepped out and walked away from the car.
Branden’s driver drove off and we stepped into his huge family house. I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing, his parents mansion was so luxurious and classy, the beautiful house really portrayed that of a wealthy family.
So many beautiful paintings, so many large and small chandeliers, so many interior design carvings. They were unique and out of this world. This mansion would probably cost a million dollar or maybe ten million dollars.
Seconds later we were at their hall where so many staff’s of theirs walked around serving and attending to everyone at the table.
I could see Sylvester, Branden’s dad, I assume. He is tall, has black long hair, handsome, almost like a carbon copy of Branden but an older version and beside him was Branden’s mum, average height, blonde and beautiful, she was dressed in a blue pale dress, she had similar facial features with Sylvester and a little of Branden. They were seated at the dinning hall and in front of them were different delicacies.
My heart began to palpitate, my hands felt clammy and my legs almost became almost immobile. We advanced further to the huge table.
“Branden!!” Branden’s mum yelled, her voice audible and loud. She rushed over to us and embraced Branden, her smile was visible.
“Diana this is my mother, Joyce Smith. Mum this is Diana”
“Diana, what a pleasure to meet you” she smiled and gave me a warm embrace.
“The pleasure is mine mrs Smith” I returned a smile.
“Please, call me Joyce” she smiled and walked us further to the table where Branden’s dad and Sylvester were sited.
“And this is my Dad, Walter Smith” Branden directed me over to his father.
“Diana, you’re welcome” Mr Walter says mildly.
“Thank you sir” I smile and shake his hands.
The atmosphere was friendly, calm and welcoming. Everyone at the table seemed very excited to see me except Sylvester who ofcourse tried so hard to take me from Branden but at the end of the day he failed and backed off. Although he doesn’t seem satisfied with his action, he must have done it to avoid troubles between him and Branden.
“And ofcourse you’ve met Sylvester my younger brother” Branden said, Sylvester forced a smile and waved at me, although I wasn’t convinced that he was happy to see me but I reciprocated the greeting.
“Come, sit” Joyce directed me over to an empty seat directly opposite her, Branden was at my right, while Sylvester was also at the opposite end.
“I’m so glad my son has finally decided to bring a decent girl home, she looks better than that lady you brought back home” Mr Smith said.
“Looks also lie, dad” Sylvester murmured while digging into his food.
“Sylvester! that was insensitive of you, don’t you dare insult our guest like that” Mrs Smith scowled at Sylvester.
” I’m sorry about that, don’t mind him” she apologized.
“So Diana tell us, what us about yourself” Mr Smith said.
“I school at Clifield University as a medical student and I’m 23, I live here in Georgia and I have a little sister”
“Oh wow, isn’t that the university Branden partners with?” Mrs Smith turned to Branden and smiled.
“Yes mum” Branden said.
“What jobs do you do?” Mrs Smith inquired.
“I retired her of all her jobs, she works with me now” Branden replied.
My eyes widened in shock, I stare at him nervously, he winks at me before facing his parents.
Well it was true that he made me stop my multiple jobs because he wanted to singlehandedly take care of my bills but he never hired me.
Facing down I had realized that I only took one spoon from my pasta, probably because I was nervous, I also didn’t want to seem like someone who eats alot.
“What about your parents?”
My appetite lost it’s hold inside me the minute those words went through my eardrums.
“Mom I think that’s enough questions for today”
“No it’s fine, they are no more, I lost them in a car accident when I was very young”
“Oh I’m really sorry about that dear” Mrs Smith apologized.
“Excuse me” Branden walked out of the dinning hall to receive a call.
“Thank you” I replied.
After several minutes at the table, Branden was no where to be found, the silence at the table made me anxious and I was getting worried.
“I see you’ve met Sylvester where did you guys meet” Mrs smith’s question broke the silence.
“We’ll have to go now” Branden walked back into the dinning room and pulled me gently away from the dinning hall.
“I had a nice dinner, thank you so much, it was nice meeting you Mr and Mrs Smith”
“Bye!!”
“Bye!!”
They both waved at me cheerfully before i ambled my way out of the house.
“And why did you have to pull me out like that? Why the rush?” I frowned at Branden.
“I have news, come let’s go” he pulled me into his car and I no time we were on the road home.
“How was the dinner? I’m really sorry about the awkward questioning, my parents are unbearable sometimes” he said.
“You don’t think Sylvester hates me do you?”
“No he doesn’t, I guess it just bothers him that you’re with me”
“So what’s the news that made you rush me out of the dinner?” I glanced at him, curious and expectant.
“That wasn’t the reason I rushed you out, I could see that you were tensed and I didn’t want them saying insensitive things to you” he said.
“Your family is actually very nice, I don’t know why you don’t talk about then that much. And who was the indecent girl you brought home before?” I questioned and glanced at him.
“The stripper girl” he replied coldly.
A loud laughter erupted from my belly and out of my mouth, I laughed uncontrollably and when I noticed his bored look, I laughed even more.
“You brought a stripper to see your parents? What were you expecting her to do? Strip for your parents?” I laughed again before pulling myself together.
