Chapter 80 - Meet The Parents

After a long drive, we definitely arrived on time on their beautiful mansion.

I felt a bit anxious while staring at their black and expensive gate. I can really see how wealthy they are from here. I was imagining what will be the guest's reactions when I came there. I didn't want to be seen and I didn't want to be the center of attention of anybody..

I was just snapped back to the reality when Edward held my hand. He chuckled when he felt my cold hand on his. I blushed as he looked at me with an adoration in his eyes.

"Don't be nervous, you're the most beautiful girl in this party.." He muttered in his smiles..

I don't know if he's just saying that to make me calm or he's really telling the truth. I don't know either because I'm worried that they might criticize me..

"Relax.." He chuckled and he placed my hand on his arms.

I tried to be relax but I just can't..

"Do you think, people are nice here?" I asked, nervously.

His eyes turn to me and the shock on it was written all over his face. I didn't mean to offend him but this is what I'm thinking.

I was extra worried because of my face too. I have a trust on Gia that she made me look decent tonight but I'm still conscious about my look.

"Once they hurt you or even offend you, I'll take you out of here and I'll destroy whoever that person is.." He looked serious when he said that.

Damn. He can do that for me?

I swallowed hard when I noticed how serious he was..

"So trust me, okay?" He asked and it calmed me a little.

I nodded and we entered inside. The gate was automatic and it made me amazed by it more. When my eyes turn to the crowed, they're most of them are dancing on the center and the others are just sitting on their respective chairs while the others are just busy talking.

I can feel my hands shaking as I scanned them all. They all looked came from a prestigious family and I think I was just a poor person who got lost in their castle.

Fuck! What am I thinking!

Edward leads me towards them and even If I want to protests, I just couldn't do it here. It's too embarrassing. I don't want to ruin his birthday party.

When we're close to the everyone, their eyes turn to us. I bit my lip and looked away. I really hate being noticed.

I know some of them are looking at me like they want to kick me out of here and it makes me feel worried because of that.

"Edward!" An old lady walked towards him and hugged him. She's old but she still looked beautiful. "Happy birthday, darling!"

Edward hugged her back while laughing. When they pulled together, the lady turn to me and her eyes on our hands that I didn't know he held earlier. I'm trying to let go but Edwards held me tight.

Fuck! She might assumed that we're in a relationship!

"Who is she?" The old lady asked.

She scanned my whole body and her cat eyes was making me more nervous. I can't feel my body now!

"Uhm, she's my..friend," Edward looked a bit sad when he turn his eyes on me.

"Oh! Nice to meet you, darling. I'm Emily Evans, Edward's grandma," She held her hand to me. I looked at Edward and he just replied with a smile and nod.

I have no choice but to take her hand and smile too. "N-nice to meet you M-ma'am.. I'm R-raine Scott.."

Her smiles are so beautiful that I didn't know if it's real or not. Am I bad that I think of that?

"A-actually.." Edward interjects. He rubbed the back of his head and turn to me.

I didn't know what he wanted to say so I just raised my brow at him.

His grandma was exchanging her glances to us. She will turn to me and then go back to Edward. Damn.

"You two are adorable!" She laughs while looking at us.

I feel a bit shy when she looked at me with those amusement in her face. God, do I deserved this?

"I like her, but she seemed not to..like me." I gasp to what he said. Fuck!

My eyes widened at him but he just ignored me. I pouted and bowed my head. His grandma might think that I'm hurting her grandson.

But I'm surprised when she just laughed and hit Edward's arm.

"What's that for grandma?" Edward laughs.

"We didn't raised you to become a loser son, you have to win her heart of course!" She laughs again and turn her eyes at me.

"My grandson is a good man, Raine and if you give him a chance I'll be the happiest," She genuinely smiles at me.

Edward looked touched so he hugged her again and kissed her head.

"I love you," He said and his grandma smiles at us.

She left us there because she needs to entertain the new guests and I was stuck in Edward's side for a couple of hours now.

The whole crowed was looking at us everytime I looked to up face them. I can't deny that I was also amazed by Edwards look tonight. He's really handsome and a neat-looking guy. His attire was shouting for his good looks and the girls can't even take off their eyes at him.

Well, I can't blame them. He's extra handsome tonight.

He's busy talking with his guests and friends and they already know me because he always introduce me whenever there's a new comer.

"Do you want to eat?" He asked and excuse us to his guests.

I nodded. Actually I'm not that hungry, I just wanted to sit since everyone's looking at us nonstop especially to me.

It's so awkward to be stared like that..

He brought me to a place where it's not crowded. I felt comfortable now and I think I could eat comfortably.

"Why did you brought me here? We should've stayed there so people could see you," I suggests but I was happy inside because he brought me here.

He shook his head and offered me the chair so I sat on it. He stayed standing on my side as he looked at me.

"You don't want to sit?" I asked then I glanced at the chair on the opposite side of the table.

"Later, I want to get you something to eat. What do you like?" He asked and move over his face on me.

I was surprised by his sudden action so I didn't have the chance to move away. I was stunned while looking at his eyes..

"A-anything.." I muttered while still looking at him.

He smirked and moved away, I think I lost my breath!

"Wait for me, I'll be quick." Then he walked away.

I bit my lower lip as I remember how that became so sudden. I don't even feel anything, I was just startled and nothing else like that..

When he came back, he already had two plates on his both hands. My mouth parted as I scanned how he was careful on holding it. There are also two waiters who's walking behind him while pushing a stroller with lots of food also.

Damn. Am I going to eat all of that tonight?

He placed the plates on our table and the two waiters left once they put the stroller beside the table.

I saw some gifts on the table behind us, It was placed properly and I can't even think that I can put my small and not so expensive gift for him.

Actually, I just bought this a while ago, when he send off my work I immediately ordered a watch from online and I received the parcel before he picked me up.

I'll just give this to him later..

"I didn't know what you like, so I brought everything here.. Don't hesitate to tell me everything you want, okay?" He asked.

"Okay," I smiled at him and started to eat.

I eat everything that he puts on my plate. Edward is also sweet, he does everything that he can to serve me so I can't even say no to him..

We also eat their truffle deserts and it really taste fantastic! I want more but I prevent myself for demanding.. That's embarrassing.

"When we finish here, prepare yourself because we will go to the pool area where my parents are waiting.."

He wiped the side of lips with a tissue so I couldn't help but to blushed. He looks natural when he does that so I also did the same.

Some of the guests are looking at us even if we were here at the corner. I felt uneasy for that.

"Let's go?" He asked when we finished eating and drinking our champagne.

I nodded and accept his hand. We walked to the circles of crowd again and everyone that we passes by were greeted by him.

He's also polite. Hmm.

"Please let's all proceed to the pool are," He smiles at them and lead the way.

I suddenly felt nervous again as their two doors opened and their beautiful interior house surprised me. It was big and looked expensive!

Damn. Our house is just a one-fourth of their house!

"I want you to meet my parents," He winked at me but I stopped.

No. I can't meet them, they're his parents they would think that we have something..err..you know..

He smiles again then held my hand, "Don't worry, they're nice,"

He assured me but I just can't feel comfortable with this. I just want to go home now.

I pouted at him but he just chuckled and dragged me inside. When we headed towards to pool area, I was kind of amazed again because of the designs. The whole pool is surrounded with small light bulbs on it's top and the half of the pool was covered with glass which I think they arranged as the dance floor.

Wow.

That was exactly entered my mind when I stepped on its floor.

The guests looked expensive too. And everything here looked fabulous. His birthday is so beautiful.

"Mom!" I heard his voice and it just made me froze on my position.

Fuck! This is it!
