"It's nice to meet you" I said, pushing alex away."
"It's a pleasure to meet you too. And feel free to call me Clara or mom ok. We are family." Mom said smiling while I stood there looking like a bimbo."
"Bending my head a little, look at the woman front of me. Suddenly I zoom out. Looking at only their her mouth moving. Even though I can hear the words coming out, I can't seem to make anything out. Soon I stopped hearing anything.
"Pleasure? is it because of we just flirt in their front. That's why she said pleasure meeting you?."
"Kitania, what do you think?." I heard someone say but I am far too gone with my thinking."
" What if they think am a gold digger trying to pry my way into their life."
"Kitania? Are you okay?"
"They"ll probably sue me if I mess their name or break their sons heart. But no I won't back down because they simply say so."
"Kitania...!!!!, And that's all it takes to snap me out of my world. Looking around I found concerned faces."
"Am sorry mom, I didn't mean to get lost in my thoughts." I said bending down embarrassed and disappointed at the impression am leaving for them to remember me. But cla....no i mean no stood up making her way towards me. Grabbing my hands. And she said those words that made me trust them."
"Don't feel sorry dear we understand the pressure we put on you. To be honest I didn't think Alex would be this caring after what that girl did to him. And I know you are the right choice for my son. I can see it just promise me you won't leave him like that girl, cause I don't think he can stand that much pain he just a boy. And we will always support you and if he does anything bad to you. Come tell us we are always here ok.
"I promise. I said as I hug her."
"Apart from Kate they were the only people I trust._
"Enough with the mushy talks and hugs. And mom why do you make it sound like am a fragile person?, And what do you mean am still a boy, am a grown up man. Right Nia?
" Your mom is right, you are fragile sit at home so you won't break." I said turning my head a little to look at him and he gasp dramatically carrying his hands to his chest
"It hurts, oh my it hurts. We both looked at him and roll our eye drama king"
"Dad how can you seat there watching them gang up against me, say something my heart is hurting."
"Now come to think of it, I totally forgot someone was still there. Turning my head a little. Wow I have been turning my head a lot today. I saw a calm and collected man sitting but his appearance might scream power making him look unapproachable. But if you move closer he looks normal. I was expecting him to say something harsh but what he said left me speechless.
"Common son I thought you were more stronger than this with the way the public labeled you. You are supposed to be intimidating as they say but you are here crying dramatically over a few words from your girlfriend. If the media saw you now they will be speechless."
"And you he said pointing to me , I took deep breaths to ready my self for what he has to say. I like you you prove yourself worthy and like my wife said if he ever hurt you come to us or me we will support you okay. I nodded like a lizard. This family hardly knows me and they trust me I won't let them down."
"Am your child you should support me." Alex said scoffing and signing dramatically. I freed myself from his mom's hold and went to hug him pecking his lips, making him start grinning. Happy?. Yes."
"And katania we are having a party to celebrate her 30th anniversary. Hoping you would attend."
"I will surely attend, and can I bring my friend Kate."
"Of course you're free to bring anyone you want."
"Actually Kate is the only friend I have, or true friend you might say."
"Don't worry dear you have us."
"Thanks and I'm happy I have her in my life. But 30th?. I said pointing to Alex and she giggled."
"We wanted to have some fun, you know before bringing anyone to the world." She said wiggling her eyebrows and I immediately understand what she meant. After that they left the office."
" Right now am in my office smiling when Kate came in. I didn't even know she was staring at me until she spoke up."
"I have never seen you smile before, not even for your birthday."
"Guess what. Alexander asked me out and introduce me to his family."
"No way."
"Yes way and they are super nice, I tell you the rest once we're at home."
"Am so happy for you."She said crying and on cue Alex step inside making her step on his foot leaned near his ear and whisper but it is enough for me to ear. if you ever hurt my friend I will make sure to cut off your ball for breakfast clear. He nodded and I laugh silently
"You know you're just like my girlfriend stepping on people's foot like you don't care."
"Good cause anytime you see your foot you remember me and the amount of pain I can make you go through if you hurt her."
"But you are my sister's boyfriend not my boss so we are friends now see you later."she said heading out living in there dumbstruck
"I looked at the letter Kate dropped for me. Glancing at it and tearing it from an unknown person." Then I saw those words written in bold letters."
"LEAVE ALEXANDER OR DIE" I screamed and Alex grabbed the paper from my hands looked at it and curse before hugging me, whispering in my ears, don't worry everything will be alright
"Who could it be." I sobbed
"Who is threatening me?"
