Written in the stars

Chapter 10

The day to meet his parents finally arrive and I am nervous as hell. I am dress in a simple long sleeves light blue sky dress that ends above my knees and I complete the look with a pair of flats. My hair is in a wavy style down my shoulders and stops till my waist.

Even though the AC is on in Christian's car, I feel hot. What if I mess up there? What if they catch our lie?

"Adonya", Christian's voice pulls me out of my thoughts. "Don't be nervous. Everything will go as we plan."

"What if they know that we are lying?", I question.

"They won't", he assures me. "If we go as per the plan, no one will doubt us. Remember, we know each other since six months and we just want to settle down together. That's it."

"And we met in a restaurant", I add and he gives me another assuring smile. "And it just clicked for us."

"See it won't be hard", he utters. "Just remember what we have already discussed about."

I take a slow deep breath and nod. Christian pulls up in his parents's driveway and lord, it's a freaking mansion and I instantly feel intimidated by it. The driveway itself looks sophisticated. There's a fountain in the middle of a roundabout. Soft lights illuminates everywhere.

Christian stops the car and gives me a reassuring look. He gets out and walks around the car to open the door for me. I get down and he holds my arm softly.

"You'll be okay Adonya", he looks at me and I find myself getting pull within his gaze. He looks so calm and in control. I find myself calming down because of him.

He closes the door and wounds his arm around my waist. I stiffen instantly and he leans down, closer to my ear.

"Don't look so tense", his voice is low only for me to hear. "Relax. And I will probably have to hold you inside just to make us look like a convincing couple."

I give him another nod and try to relax myself in his arm while we walk. My heart flutters when I feel him tightening his hold slightly around me when he rings the bell. The door opens after a few seconds, an elegant looking woman, wearing a classic beige dress who seems to be in her mid fifties appears infront of us with a bright smile.

"Christian", she greets him warmly and comes forward to hug him.

"Hi mom", he hugs her back and then looks at me warmly. "This is Adonya Miller."

"Hey darling", she moves towards and envelops me in a hug as well. "Nice to finally meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too Mrs Romano", I say while returning her hug gently.

"Just call me Liza honey", she smiles and urges us to come inside.

We walk inside and Christian once again pulls me closer to his side. "Are you okay?"

"I am okay", I assure him and just in case he's thinking I might mess things, I add, "I won't mess this up for you, I promise."

"I didn't mean that", his brows crease slightly. "I just want to make sure if you're comfortable."

"What a pleasant surprise to finally see you again son", an older version looking of Christian appears.

"Work has been keeping me busy dad", Christian hugs him.

Both of them are 6f4. Christian looks like a mixture of both. His eyes are like his mom, a beautiful green while he has the strong aristocratic look with a sharp nose like his dad. There genes are strong.

"I definitely can see what's been keeping you busy", his dad adds when he looks at me with smile.

I find myself blushing when I feel the spotlight on me. Three pairs are on me and it feels unerving. They look like royalty infront of me.
