Alex's POV
We rang the doorbell and in a few seconds a tall man with green eyes and dark brown hair answered the door. Behind him was a lady with dark brown eyes and brown hair.
Silence filled the room before Vanessa greeted, "Hello Father, Hello Mother."
"Hello Honey." Vanessa's father said before pulling her into a hug.
"Hi darling." Vanessa's mother said.
"Mother, Father this is Alexandria Allard.. my girlfriend."
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Valentino." I greeted them while reaching to shake their hands but Vanessa's mom pulled me into a hug instead.
"Hello it's been a while since Vanessa has formally introduced us to one of her lovers." Vanessa's mom said.
"Yes it has been but hopefully you live up to our expectations because if not-"
"Let's go inside." Mrs. Valentino joked.
"Is that man getting the luggage from the car your bodyguard or someone trying to steal?" Mr. Valentino joked.
"The name is Greg." Greg introduced.
"Well Greg I'll help you with the luggage then." Mr. Valentino said while we walked inside with Mrs.
"I'm sorry but you look so familiar to me Alexandria."
"She's an actress and singer mother."
"Oh yes.. were you in the greatest showman?" She asked.
"Yes I was Mrs. Valentino. I played Anne Wheeler."
"You and that boy Zac were fantastic in that movie and the soundtrack was fantastic, might I add."
"Thank you very much for the kind words Mrs. Valentino."
"Enough with all that nonsense, call me Skylar."
"You can call her Skylar but until I decide if I like your or not call me Mr. Valentino still."
"Oh Tony, be easy on the girl, she seems lovely."
"She is.. lovely mom." Vanessa said.
"What happened to your leg?" Mr. Valentino asked out of the blue.
"Uhh." I froze for a second and Vanessa grabbed my hand and intertwined her fingers with mine.
"Don't answer If you don't feel comfortable." Skylar said.
"No no I'm ready."
"Était-ce un accident de moto ? Avez-vous sauté dans la rue pour de l'argent ou êtes-vous tombé dans l'allée de quelqu'un pour de l'argent ?" [Was it a motorcycle accident? Did you jump into the street for money or fall on someone's driveway for cash?] Mr. Valentino joked or well I wasn't even sure if he was joking at that point.
"I got hit by a car while I was jogging one night and I got flung into a tree. Which caused me to tear my tendon but hey at least I'm still alive right?" I said.
"My goodness I'm so sorry!"
"Did they find the person?" Mr. Valentino asked.
And he whispered something along the lines, "I don't want a hit man targeting my daughter.. for all I know someone could be hiding in the bushes."
"No it was a hit and run but I have my lawyers talking to the police."
"Who are your lawyers?"
"Griffin Dior." Vanessa said.
