Chapter 86- Taking Her To His Parents
I was currently pacing around as I waited for Cole, my hands were sweaty and my mind was thinking the worst.
“ You know with the way you keep pacing you're giving me a headache,” Bella said with a groan,
“ I've told you everything will be alright, just calm down," she said and I sighed before I walked to the couch and sat down with her, careful not to wrinkle my dress.
“ I'm trying to keep calm but my heart just won't stop beating,” I said and as if to prove my point I rested my hand on my chest.
“ Breathe Anna,” she said as I took deep breaths in and out.
“ Good," she said before she took my hand and squeezed in encouragement.
“ How do I look?" I asked her, I've asked her this same question countless times. I had decided to wear a red knee length dress that had net sleeves. I got it last Christmas during the discount sales but I didn't end up wearing it. Cole sent me a red dress too but it was too extra. I want to be me when I meet with his parents, I don't want his father to think if his son doesn't spend money on me I wouldn't look good and classy.
“ For the hundredth time you look beautiful, let's hope Cole is strong enough not to do something wild on the way before you get to his parent's house. You don't want to go there smelling of sex," she said and I couldn't help but laugh.
“ We wouldn't be that careless,” I said.
Just then I heard the sound of a car outside and I knew that it was him.
" He's here, he's here, this is really happening,” I whispered to myself.
" Yeah it is,” I heard Bella say.
A knock came on the door and I adjusted myself before I stood up.
" Rita,” I called for Bella's nurse who was in her room making her bed and she quickly rushed out.
" Yes Miss Frederick,” she said. I have already told her to call me Anna but I guess she wasn't comfortable with that yet.
“ I'm leaving now, please take care of my best friend,” I said,
“ I will ma'am," she said and I squeezed her hand before rushing to the door. As soon as I opened the door my breath was knocked out of me because of the man standing in front of me.
He was fucking handsome.
“ Damn," I heard him whisper as his eyes raked my body.
“ I feel like taking you to the altar right now and making you my wife," he whispered as he took my hand and dropped a kiss on it.
“ Stop playing, let's go, we don't want to be late," I said and he chuckled before taking my hand and leading me to the car.
“ I'm not joking you know, I've imagined making you my wife several times and I'll do that one day," he said as he opened the car door for me.
“ Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" He asked,
“ You didn't but your eyes did enough of that,” I said,
“ You look absolutely beautiful my angel, let's go before my mind starts thinking other things," he said and I laughed before entering the car and he closed the door as I watched him turn around to the driver's side and got into the car.
“ Are you ready?” He asked,
" Yes, I'm ready,” I said as he nodded before starting the car and driving off.
" I noticed you didn't wear the dress I sent, you didn't like it?” He asked,
" No, it's a lovely dress, you sure have good taste, I just wanted to be as simple and me as possible, if you get what I'm saying,” I said,
“ Yeah, whatever you wear is beautiful, I just thought you didn't like it," he said but I shook my head.
Cole took my hand as he dropped a kiss on it, while driving. I'm sure he was nervous about this dinner but he looked determined and I couldn't help but smile.
It felt like every prep talk Bella gave me flew out the window the moment we drove into the gate of a huge mansion.
The mansion was one of a kind, it was just a reminder that Cole was of the upper class and was way out of my league. The mansion was a blend of classical and modern design, with towering, creamed colored stone walls that caught the light giving the structure a golden hue.
There was a large fountain, sculpted with the statue of an angel, its water cascading in rhythmic splashes. All in all the mansion was beautiful and I instantly felt out of place being here.
“ Hey, hey, look at me," Cole said as I started tapping my feet anxiously, whatever happens tonight will determine where our relationship was headed.
“ Everything will be fine, trust me okay?” He said and I nodded,
" Do you want me to kiss you?” he asked and once again I nodded, he didn't need to ask any more questions, he claimed my lips as he kissed me lightly.
“ Do you feel better,” he asked as he pulled away and I nodded with a smile.
" That's my girl,” he said before he opened his own door and then he turned around to mine as he opened the door for me, stretching his hand to help me out.
I took a deep breath as the night air blew through me calming my raging nerves.
As soon as we stepped into the house, we were met with Cole's mother and she smiled before walking to me and hugging me.
“ Thank you for making my son happy, come on look at him," she said with a smile as she moved to her son and hugged him.
“ Let's go, you know your father hates to wait," she said and my heart couldn't help but skip at the mention of his father.
Cole held my hand as he led me to the dinning table where his father was already seated. The moment his eyes met with mine I thought I was going to cower but I was surprised that I maintained contact with him before his eyes moved to Cole and then our hands that were joined.
“ What is going on here?"
“ Uhm, I think I might have skipped the part that you were bringing someone home," His mother whispered and I knew that this was gonna be a long night.
