A Blinded Heart

Chapter 7

Anika's P.O.V

My parents are coming to fucking visit. It's barely been a month and they are already visiting. I really don't want them to meet Levi just yet even though I really value their opinion, I'm not ready for their judgemental eyes to pierce Levi's skin. Don't get me wrong I love my parents but they could be a little controlling sometimes they always said that it was in my best interest but I wanted to be free to do as I please without their meddling.

Also, the condo is not completely decorated and my room is in a complete mess. I planned to spend the rest of the day cleaning my room and getting some other items for the condo so it could at least look decent. They will be arriving tomorrow and I have to ensure them that I can handle these simple responsibilities. Hopefully, all goes well.

"Principessa are you ok?" Levi asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yh Yh I'm fine," I said, smiling slightly.

"Are you sure?" He inquired, pulling into the driveway of my house.

"I was just thinking about ideas for my new book, I'm alright," I lied, exiting the car.

He simply analyzed my facial expression looking for any hints to point out that I was being untruthful. He finally came to his conclusion and helped me carry my bags to the door. When he dropped my bags off he got a business call, he kissed me goodbye on my forehead and slapped my butt. I laughed out loudly and waved him goodbye.

I opened the door with a huge smile on my face but that smile was immediately wiped off when I saw the three individuals that were standing in front of me.

Shit

"Mom, Dad it is so nice to see you!" I exclaimed, hugging them trying to act as normally as possible.

"Oh honey, we missed you," Mom said, giving me a kiss on my cheek.

"How are y'all here already?" I questioned.

"We wanted to surprise you, we called Maia and told her about our plan and asked her to help, she was the one who picked us up from the airport," Mom explained.

I glared at Maia for not warning me about my parents' early arrival and she pouted and held up a box of baked pastries. No wonder she kept her mouth shut, shit I would too.

"Who was that?" and "Where are you coming from?" My dad asked, making my eyes open in shock.

"Ummm.... T-that was our maintenance guy," I stuttered, Omfg how am I gonna explain to my parents that I already have a boyfriend with only three weeks of being here.

"Do your maintenance guy always drive a Lamborghini," Dad asked, catching me in a lie. He glared at me and folded his arms

My father is a buff and intimidating guy, he owns a huge company and my mother is a thick, loving woman and she is a really good cook and baker. She works as a pastry chef and she owns the most famous bakery in Texas, Viv's Delight.

"Anika do you have a boyfriend?" My dad asked me seriously.

"Keith, let her settle in properly before you start bombarding her with questions," Mom said coming to my rescue.

"Ok but I still wanna know who that man was," Dad said helping me carry my bags to my room.

It was now two o'clock in the afternoon my parents and I caught up on life and of course, mom asked me about my dirty room and demanded that I clean it right away. Thankfully the topic about Levi was not brought up again and Maia apologized for not warning me but I told her that it was understandable because I would've done the same if mom's pastries were on the line.
