(Esther's Point of View)
I woke up with a jolt. I quickly began to pace, crying as quietly as I could. A few minutes later I heard an "Oh shit." Nate stopped my pacing and held me. I cried into his chest as he rubbed my back. As I calmed down, Nate picked me up and sat down with me in his lap. Once I stopped crying, I looked up at Nate. "Esther, What happened?" I said softly, "I had a dream that I embarrassed myself and you at the party, and you were so angry at me. I woke up and thought you were angry with me so I just started crying." Nate shushed me and said, "Trust me, if you embarrass us, I'll one up you, just so we can laugh about it later. It's a family party, it's gonna be your family soon." I smiled at him. He knew just what to say.
Hours later, we started getting dressed. I got in a red dress with a black belt and a black sweater. Nate got in a red ugly Christmas sweater and black slacks. He also put on his glasses.
Once we got there, we were greeted by a nice blonde woman. "Hi! My name is Vienna, I'm Leo's wife, but just call me Mom!" She hugged me and then her son. We went in and next we greeted Nate's dad. After his dad, we met his younger sister, Irina. She squealed and tackled me in a hug. I learned she is very talkative. "I have my big brother is being good to you, not goofing off too much is he?" I told her that he was the perfect gentleman and helps me. While Nate spoke to his sister, I walked into his brother.
"Hi, I'm George, Nate's younger brother. I'm so glad that he has you. He seems so much happier than last year. Nate deserves the job, I don't. He's been preparing most of his life." I nodded in understanding. Nate comes over, wraps an arm around my waist and says, "Everything okay over here?" George immediately shut down. So I said something. "Nate, your kind brother was just introducing himself and said that you seem happier." Nate smiled and said, "Oh, well thank you Georgie. Love you bro. Angel, I'm gonna get us some drinks." Nate gave me a kiss on the cheek, then walked off to the kitchen. I turned back to George and he shrugged. "Why did you get so quiet?" George just shrugged and walked away. I went and spoke with Irina. Nate came by and gave me a cup.
We played a few games, then we sat down to eat. "Momma, there's no seafood in anything, correct?" His mom smiled and assured him. "Nathan, my sweet boy. You reminded me 22 times alone today, I assure you, nothing is seafood related or was near anything that contained seafood." I rubbed Nate's leg as he blushed. After we finished the meal. Everyone gathered in the living room. Nate's mom ushered me to her. "Now, I would like to make an announcement. Esther, we know that you are coming into our amazing family. Nathaniel will be my first child married, so one of our most important heirloom will go to you. I want to present it tonight. She took it out of the box and presented it to me. I gasped. It was absolutely beautiful. I teared up and she hugged me.
An hour later, I was ready to go, so I told Nate.
We said goodbye to everyone, then Nate drove us home.
Once we got home, I was so exhausted I didn't go to my room to change. I took some of Nate's clothes. I got changed and went straight to bed.
(Nate's Point of View)
I went into the bathroom to change since Esther was changing in the bedroom. I came out when I finished and saw that she was already in bed. I looked at her and realized she didn't take off her makeup. I took a makeup wipe and took it off for her. I threw them away, then crawled in bed myself, took her in my arms, and fell asleep.
