Navya: The Fire (Completed)

Chapter 6 - First Good Meeting?

NAVYA

I held Liam's hand while we entered the LAX airport and he opted to carry Ranveer in his other hand. Ranveer has already warmed up to Liam that on the way home the plane, he fell asleep in Liam's arms and it made my heart melt like butter.

We reach the baggage claim area and Liam gave Ranveer to me and I took him in my arms. Liam grabs our suitcases and so do our family members.

Leo catches up to us with Ivy trudging behind him. "Mom and Dad are here," He tells me and my heart stops. This is it. This is the moment where everything will go right or wrong.

Liam puts his hand around my waist and looks down at me. "Baby girl, don't get tense. Everything will be alright. As long as I'm with you, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." He kisses me on the forehead.

We walk outside and sure enough, a couple was standing outside three Cadillac vehicles. The tall man had black hair and brown eyes and just like his sons, he was also handsome and built, even though it didn't look like he has a father of three grown sons and a daughter. The woman next to him was also beautiful with dark brown hair and green eyes, and she was shorter than the tall man.

"Our children are finally home," the tall man extends his arms and hugs his sons and daughter. After that, he hugs his sons' and daughter's mates as a proud father. Seeing them made me think of my father. Whenever I came home from school, he would proudly hug me because, in his words, I was his prized possession.

But ever since the incident that happened two years ago, I have become nothing but a memory to my father and he will most probably never want to see me again.

"Who is this?" I look up when the woman asks the question and looks at me.

Liam walks back to me and smiles. "Mom, Dad, this is Navya. She is my mate." He answers and they didn't say anything for a couple of minutes.

"Mom, Dad, you'll love her. She's amazing. She's even a fashion designer," Lily starts.

"Yes, I have seen her on TV before. In fact, I am wearing one of her designs," the woman points towards her clothing and indeed she was. She is wearing a teal solid-fit flare dress that stopped at her knees and the sleeves were flowy and had a drawstring at the top where you can tie into a bow to accentuate the look.

"Well, welcome to the family, Navya," Mr. Mummah welcomes me. "Thank you, sir."

"Please, call me Lucas. There is no need to be formal."

"And you can call me Ivory."

Liam's parents introduced themselves as Lucas and Ivory Mummah and I nod at them with a smile. "Um these are my friends: Tony, Terrell, Nia, and Mara," I introduce them.

"Nice to meet you," Lucas nods at them.

"Likewise. Mr. Mummah, since Navya is Liam's mate, we know that she has to move in with you, but if you do not mind, we would like to move in as well. It is important for the four of us to stay with Navya," Tony says, showing his protective side.

"I don't--" Lucas starts, but Ivory stops him. "It's alright, honey. They must have a tight-knit friendship. It's ok for them to move in. We do plenty of room in the house and the development."

Lucas smiles and kisses his wife. "You're right. Very well then, you four can stay with us in our home and we have space. Speaking of home, I think we should be on our way. Logan, don't forget that you have an appointment tomorrow to try on the suit for the wedding," Lucas reminds Logan.

"Yes, Dad. I remember."

It sounds like they respect their father and mother, as they should be and it makes me so happy. But my concern is that Lucas only knows my name, not my full surname, and when he finds out, there will be chaos for sure.
