My Little Dove

Chapter 26

Doves POV:

"Everyone, this is my fiancé, Dove"

I scratch my arm with the sudden increase of attention. "Hi" I manage to squeak out

"Well, hello young lady" His dad smiled. His smile was identical to his kids.

Bucky kisses the side of my head and we sit down. Once again everyone stares at me.

"Is something wrong...?"

"That was Jaces' seat" Bucky whispers to me

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" I stand up, but Bucky sits me back down. "You sit here, Angel"

"But-"

"Jace has been gone for a long time, you can sit here. He won't be offended, up whenever he is. He'll be happy a hot woman too old for him is sitting in his chair"

I laugh and look back at everyone else. They were so obviously trying to not look at me.

"Does Ms. Makayla still work here?" He asks

"Yes, I do" A black woman, looking to be in her mid to late '50s sets down the plates of food. Steak, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and asparagus.

"How've you been baby"

"I've been good"

"Now! Who is this?" She stops as she looks at me

"This is my fiancé, Dove"

"James, you got a black woman?" She mumbles, looking like a proud mom.

"I did"

"And she's absolutely beautiful"

I smile and intertwine my hand with his.

"Now eat up before your food gets cold. Spent 3 hours slaving over a stove and you're gonna sit here looking at me" She shakes her head in disappointment and walks away

"Shes worked here since I was little" He whispered to me

"I love he-"

"So Jamie! What do you do again?" Jesslyn grins

"I'm a boxer" He answered, biting a piece of steak

"I thought we talked about no elbows on the table" His mother lectured. She had long brunette hair with a tinge wave. Her lips were plump and her brows her beautifully thick.

He slides his arms down.

"How did the lovely couple meet?" She adds

"She bumped into me, got coffee on me and it went up from there" He smiles, kissing me

"James"

"What? No kissing at the dinner table? You and dad had to do a lot more than that to get the three of us here"

I laugh but quickly cover my mouth.

"After dinner, do you have any plans?" Jaxon asks

"Yeah, we're gonna go...cuddle. It's very important to me and I won't be a happy man if I miss my time to cuddle"

He was not talking about cuddling.

"James, really? You must talk about sex at the table?" His dad lectures

"I said we were cuddling, you were the one to bring up sex"

His dad rolls his eyes and directs his attention to me. His gaze was just as strong as Buckys.

"So you met at a coffee shop? What happened after the coffee spill. Did he buy you another"

"No, someone made him a new coffee and he saved me from being fired"
