The Beauty In Earth

-18-

I was in a rush since It was now 2, and everyone was coming around 6. I had a lot to do, starting with cleaning. I gave Erik a quick house tour and then directed him to his room to unpack, But he didn't want to.

I walked into the kitchen to clean it, but he followed me.

"I don't want to though," He smiled against my neck as he was hugging me from behind with his arms tightly wrapped around my waist.

I turned around and sat up onto the counter beside the sink.

"Of course you don't," I rolled my eyes as I rested my arms on his neck and wrapped Them around his neck.

"If I help you clean will I get unlimited cuddles?" Erik narrowed his eyes.

"If you Help me clean you can have a better chance of my father liking you," I pushed him away and laughed.

"Finee, i'll start with my new room," He walked away as he rolled his eyes.

I got off the counter and Did the dishes.

It is now 4pm and Erik and I just finished cleaning.

"Hey, do you like Chicken Alfredo?" I asked.

"Ya, of course I do," He laughed.

"Ok," I said.

Erik got up off of the couch and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then helped me cook.

At 5pm Erik watched the food as I showered and got ready for dinner.

I wore a tight Black dress, that ended right above my knees and with a small slit.

Then I blow dried and curled my light brown hair.

"Hey You can go shower and get ready now," I Informed Erik as I walked out of the bathroom.

Once Erik looked at me his jaw dropped.

"You are so beautiful," He Reminded me.

Then he got up and kissed me before he went to the bathroom to get ready. Right when he got into the shower I Quickly slipped on a pair of shoes and quickly walked over to My dads house.

I just walked in without knocking.

"Tori!!" I shouted.

"Ya?" She said as she stepped out of her room wearing A dark red dress that ended right above her knees.

"Is dad home?" I asked.

I was in a rush.

"No, But I have extra clothes and suits for guys here if that's what you looking for," She informed me.

I ran into her room and went through the pile of dress shirts and pants.

I grabbed a white dress shirt, Some mens perfume stuff, deodorant, Dress shoes, and some dress pants. Then I ran back out of the house and back to Erik.

I slipped off the shoes I was wearing.

"Babe I have stuff out here for you," I exhaled.

I put the stuff on the dining room table and went to my room.

As I was waiting for Erik I picked out a pair of black heals and some jewelry.

20 minutes later Erik came out of the bathroom and walked up to me as I was spraying My perfume.

He put his hand on my waist and turned me around.

Then all of a sudden I'm being pulled into his embrace. He hugged me tightly.

Then we heard everyone walking into the house. I looked up at Erik and smiled as I leaned up onto my tippy toes and gave him a quick kiss. Then I walked into the living room Greeting everyone with a hug.

Not long after, Erik came out of the bedroom doing the same thing.

"Breaaaa," A young little girl said with excitement.

"Hello Erica, How's my favorite little sister?" I asked while I picked her up.

Erica is only 2 years old, She is so smart and adorable.

"Good, but mommy said daddy is gonna be late," She said with a big smile on her face.

"Is that your boyfriend?" She asked, while pointing at Erik.

Her voice was so high pitched it made her question sound so adorable.

"Ya it is, you wanna go say hi," I chuckled.

"YAAAA," She shouted, which caught Eriks attention.

When he saw me laughing at Erica his face lit up, he looked so happy.

I gently put Erica down so she could go say hi to Erik.

Erik went down onto his knees to talk to him.

God he is gonna be a good father one day.

"Brea come here," Erica begged.

"Ok ok, I'm coming," I laughed.

Erica,Erik, and I talk for 20 minutes until The door opened.

"Hi sorry, I'm late," My father apologized.

Erik and I immediately stood up and looked at each other. He looked kinda nervous, But I know my father will love him.

"Daddyyyyyy," Erica squealed. She ran up to her and he picked her up and hugged her.

"Hi sweety, how's everything going," He asked me and Erica as I approached him.

"Good!!" She nodded and said full of excitement.

"Everything is going good," I laughed. I then gave him a side hug and smiled.

Me and my dad Have been getting closer since he has been here. I guess coming down to earth did some good for us all.

"Who's this young fella behind you?" He asked.

"Oh uhh, this is Erik. You might remember him from when we were just kids?" I trained off hoping he remembers him.

My father stood there trying to remember.

"Oh right! Erik smith, the son of The ex leader up in space," He trailed off. "I'm so sorry for your loss," He offered Erik his hand.

"Thank you, it's been a rough couple of years but everything is slowly getting better," He said after he shook my fathers hand and smiled.

Then he looks down at me.

I'm so short he has to look down at me.

Then he slipped his hand into mine and smiled at me.

"So are you guys dating?" My father asked.

" Ya," I said as I blushed.

For the rest of the night We ate dinner and then sat down on the couches and talked. We acted like one big family, we are missing a feel of people though.

" Dad, when can everyone else Move down here?" I asked.

"How about we send down some people with Tyler and Tori to go get everyone?" He suggested.

Tyler,tori,Erik, and I all looked at each other with excitement.

"Ya that would be perfect!!" I shouted.
