Nobody Loved Me Like You Do

💋CHAPTER 24💋

Callan Anders' POV

In the middle of the game, my phone rings. I pull it out from my pocket and I view the caller ID. It's my father. What does he want? It's not anything good when he calls. It's usually some business event he wants me to attend.

"Hey dad," I answer.

"Tomorrow evening we're having a family dinner at my house. We would love to see you in attendance," he says.

"Uh.." I trail.

"No declining," he admonishes.

"I wasn't going to decline dad," I assure.

"Good". He cuts the call.

I walk over to Kashmere who ask's, "What's next in the game?"

I love how she's enjoying learning and playing the game but I'm exhausted.

"I think that's enough for today," I say before proceeding, "Also, my family is having dinner tomorrow night and I'd love it if you would be my date".

Her mouth hangs wide before accepting, "sure".

Kashmere Lynn's POV

Oh my god, did he just ask me out on a date? Oh no, let me not conclude things just yet. Before leaving, Callan asked me if I needed a ride back home but I declined.

I head over to Giselle who is behind the bar arranging the glasses on the shelf.

"Hey," I greet as I take a seat on the stool.

She looks back for a second as she responds, "Hi. What's up?"

"Tomorrow evening is Callan's family dinner. Guess what" I say.

"What?" She faces me fully.

"He asked me to be his date," I reveal and we both caper in excitement.

"Bitch, what are you going to wear?" Giselle ask's as she fixes herself up.

"I don't know. I'll see if I can find something in my closet," I say.

"This is vital. You're not going to just any dinner but you're going to meet his family. You have to look elegant," she advises as she locks up the bar.

We both head to the lockeroom to change into our normal clothes.

"So, what was up. I saw you running around the field and let me tell you that was funny," she says as she takes off her blouse, exposing her perked breasts.

"Damn, you were watching us?"I ask amusedly as I dress up.

"Can you blame a girl? I was chuckling throughout," she enlightens.

After being done, we head out towards the exit.

"Norman is coming to pick me up," she says.

5 minutes later, he arrives and Giselle gets into the car.

"What are you waiting for? Come in," she insists but Norman glares at me.

The last encounter I had with Giselle's sugar daddy wasn't good, so I understand the hatred he harbours for me.

"Oh," I say and get into the car.

The following day, I prepare myself for this evening. It's currently 5:50pm. Callan said he would pick me up at 6pm. I do last minute touches and then head out my door when I espy Callan's car pulling up in my yard.

I open the passenger's door and get in. I am surprised to see him dressed casually. Am I over dressed?

We drive into a gated community then after a while, turn into another gate where a mansion stands. This must be his family's home. He pulls up and they're already other cars parked.

We get out of the car and stalk towards the entrance.

"Are you ready?" He ask's and I nod.

At first, I was chill but now, the jitters grip me. Im nervous to meet his family. We make our way in as I look around the opulent interior.

We then are met with 2 individuals, a man and a woman. They must be his parents.

"I'm glad to see you son," the man says.

"Who is this?" The woman ask's.

"Oh. Where did my manners go? Mom, meet Kashmere," he introduces. The lady looks young. She is slim with brown hair and has tanned skin.

"You can call me Savannah," she says as she extends her hand to shake mine.

"Kashmere, this is my dad". He is brown in complexion. I guess that's where Callan got his genes from.

"Hi". With the widest smile, I extend my hand out but he doesn't shake it.

My smile slowly disappears.

All he does is just nod before he opens his mouth, "What is this Callan!? Why did you bring her with you?"

"What do you mean dad. She's my date," Callan answers.

"And what about Valencia? I heard you broke up with her. Do you know what you have done!? I was this close in finalising the business deal with her father until I found out you did something stupid," He scolds.

"It wasn't stupid dad. You don't know anything. I made the right decision," Callan responds.

"So you mean being with this fat pig was the right decision!? You leave a beautiful woman for this atrocity!?" He questions.

His father thinks we are in a relationship...

"Gerald.." His wife holds his shoulder.

Oh my god. I'm nearly this close in breaking down. I don't think I'm welcome.

"That's enough dad, you will not disrespect Kashmere. I'll be with her whether you like it or not! If she isn't welcome here, then I'm not welcome either," Callan fires back.

Wow. Is he putting a label on our relationship? Does this mean that we're in a relationship?

Callan takes my hand to leave but his mother stops him, "please stay, don't mind Gerald".

"No mom. I can't sit and watch-" Callan stops talking when a pretty, slim lady with blonde hair appears.

"Hi Callan," she greets.
