Choices

30

Fayza and Wilfried both sit next to each other on one of the couches. Ethan and Sam have each had a PlayStation controller shoved into their hands by Kylian and are now playing FIFA laughing with each other.

I turn to my boyfriend's parents. "Would either of you like a drink?" I ask politely and they both smile up at me, Wilfried looking slightly taken aback for being asked by his son's new girlfriend.

"Yes, dear, I believe a glass of champagne suits the occasion, and my husband here will have the same." Fayza replies and she pats her partner's knee as she answers for him.

"Okay, I will be back with them in a minute." I give them one last toothy smile before hurrying out of the living room and into the kitchen where Kylian is checking the roast lamb.

He turns to see me and his lips turn up at the edges. "Hello, gorgeous." He greets and I turn my back on him to get the champagne as a hot flush smothers my face.

I take a deep breath before I face him again, now with a fresh bottle of an expensive-looking champagne. "Your parents have requested some of this to drink, would this be okay?" I ask and he nods.

"Of course it is." Kylian leans back against the counter and I admire him.

He is wearing designer, ripped, blue jeans, a black hoody that slightly hugs his shoulders.

"When you're done staring let me know." He chuckles and I snap out of my daze quickly hurrying to get two glasses for his parents.

I have my back to him again as I am trying to find a bottle opener but my breath is taken from me as two hands find my hips and spin me back round to face Kylian.

He begins moving us backwards until my lower back hits the counter forcing Kylian to close the gap between our bodies.

His fingers press against me and he rests his forehead against mine. Before I push my lips against his wrapping my hands around his neck.

His lips are soft against mine and I feel one of his hands leave my hip letting it fall down my bare thigh, his fingers dancing across my skin leaving tingling sensations. His tongue grazes against my teeth and I pull away giving him a satisfied smile.

His brown eyes have gone darker however still have the gleam. "Later." I whisper and he bites his lip as I move away from him, my heart racing in my chest.

Kylian opens a draw and pulls out the bottle opener that I have been looking for. "Here you go, sexy." He hands it to me and I smack his chest.

"Stop, your mum might hear." I tell him off and he looks me up and down seductively.

I pour the two drinks of champagne and I can sense Kylian's eyes still on me.

"When your done staring let me know." I shoot back at him and as I walk out I send him a smug look over my shoulder.

The living room is a lot colder than the kitchen and I shiver slightly as I hand the drinks to the married couple. "Thank you, Olivia." Wilfried thanks, taking a short sip of the alcohol.

The boys erupt in laughter and I go over to them, they both look up at me. "Do you two want anything to drink? I am pretty sure we have some coke or lemonade somewhere."

"Coke please." Sam waves me off.

"I'll have the same thank you." Ethan smiles at me shyly and I nod.

I go back into the kitchen and Kylian bites his lip. "How is it going?" I ask him and get two cold, glass bottles of coke out of the drink cooler.

"Going well, would you mind telling them that it will be about ten minutes?"

"Of course I can." I go to walk out put arms wrap round my waist pulling me back.

"Hang on, let me do this first." He spins me around and connects our lips for about five seconds before he pulls away.

"Kylian." I gasp and go all red, my heart fluttering uncontrollably.

"You're mine now, Olivia, so stop complaining."

My mouth drops at what he just said and he chuckles at how red I have gone. I make my escape and go into the living room feeling awfully flattered. "Here you go you two." I place each bottle onto a cup mat, on the coffee table.

"Cheers." The two boys say in unison and I go back over to Kylian's parents.

"Kylian said that dinner will be ready in ten minutes."

"Okay no worries, sweetheart." Fayza tells me sweetly.

This night has been crazy so far.

The roast is delicious and I sit next to Kylian his parents sat next to each other, Sam on the other side of me and Ethan next to his mum.

"So, tell me, how did you two meet? I mean I know you two work together, but tell me how you two got to this stage." Fayza chews down her lamb and gives me and Kylian an excited look.

I glance at him as I feel all the attention on me as they wait for either me or the boy next to me to answer. "Well," Kylian begins and I mentally thank him. "The first time I saw, Liv, was when she was helping Jacques out with the equipment for training, and she was the most beautiful girl that I had ever seen, even Ney could see that I fell in love that day."

My face goes red for the millionth time this evening and I put a potato in my mouth hoping that is a good enough excuse not to talk. "What about you, Olivia, what did you think about my son?" Fayza asks me, obviously trying to get me to speak and join in on the ever-so awkward conversation.

I swallow my food down and ponder back to that day. "Errr...I just remember feeling very nervous as he came down the corridor, I didn't really know what to think. He also walked me to my car after that day too, and it was like we had known each other for forever. He tried to get me to tell him whether I was taken but he couldn't get it out of me." I chuckle at the memories of the very first conversation we had and it was so sweet and innocent.

"Just like you, son, very forward. Trust you to fall for someone who was already taken." His dad jokes but I can tell that, that hurt Kylian as I see his smile falter.

"I think that it was lucky that he came along, Jack wasn't right for Olivia, anyone could see that from a mile off." Sam pipes up from next to me, standing up for Kylian.

"Actually, if it wasn't for this little one, I don't think me and Liv would be where we are today. He played cupid and pushed us closer together." My boyfriend reaches behind me and ruffles my brother's curly hair causing it to frizz a bit and he rushes to flatten it again.

"Awww, isn't that just so sweet. Tell us a bit about yourself, how did Sam come to be living with you?" Fayza asks a very difficult question and me and my brother exchange looks.

Kylian's hand goes onto my leg from under the table.

I hesitate and reach out for my champagne glass. I take a sip before answering. "Our family moved to Paris when my dad wanted to expand his business and he got this offer, the move tore my parents apart a bit as it put a lot of stress on everyone. I had exams, my mum had to relocate her job, Sam was young, and my dad wasn't coping with the expansion at the time as well as he had hoped. In the end my parent's got a divorce and mum went back to England with her new boyfriend and it was agreed that Sam would go with them, and I would stay here.

"Then back in November when I started the PSG job, Sam came to live with me because he didn't want to live with mum anymore. So now we are here. And I am so thankful that we are here."
