A Time For Love

Confusing

* Steven's POV *

As we were heading downstairs I heard people talking. I was taken aback as I saw my mom and dad in our dining area.

I don't know their reasons but it seems suspicious. They would never come here just to visit me. They were very busy with their business. Specially my dad he has a lot of people in New York to do his job for him.

Maybe I'm just overthinking. But I got more suspicious when they both seemed happy and not surprised when I introduced them the girl beside me, Chloie Louise Williams.

I'm feeling nervous about this. Don't tell me they want an arranged marriage or something? I feel uneasy when I think about Chloie leaving me for someone but arranged marriage was not my thing.

My parents would never cross one continents to the other just for paying me a visit. I know they were hidding something.

I can see from my peripheral view that Chloie seemed uneasy and held my hand even tighter. I'm worried about her and curious what my parents up to. As if they sensed what's running in my head. They broke the silence.

"So you two are dating?" My mom beamed, seemed excited at the thought of me and Chloie dating. Then she continued. "Oh I'm glad that my son were now dating Victoria Williams's daughter. One of my favorite designer."

Her words are speaking in full joy and excitement. I don't know what to say.

Chloie is just silent the whole time. When I was about to ask my mom what she meant by that. I suddenly hear my dad's voice.

"How are you?" He stood across me,his presence radiating dominance and power.

"If you're asking for my well being I'm fine as usual." I said each word lacing with disdain. I took a few steps towards the exit before he spoke again.

"I actually don't mind you dating Victoria Williams's daughter. In fact I'm happy to see you getting serious with your life. Just continue whatever it is you're doing." He encouraged. He walked to my direction, patted me on the shoulder and walked out with that stupid smirk plastered on his face.

I was stunned. This I never expected. It felt like he'd given me something of good value in advance, expecting something in return. Then I realized there's always a catch with my father.

I tried thinking of a reason as to why he's so eager about this. I should be cautious.

It's not normal for my father to show up out of nowhere for something like this.

I've dated tons of girls and not a single one of them did he took the liberty to pay attention to. I just had to figure out what it is. With that I'm back to my tracks and realized I forgot about Chloie, my mom dragged her away from the kitchen, its better though.

I immediately snapped at the living area after hearing my mom's laughter.

"Wow." I said while taking a seat next to Chloie." This is great! I mean my two lovely ladies are having a good time, so what was that about?" I turned to Chloie and I saw her blushed. I was about to say something to her when mom interrupted.

"Oh...I was telling her that you two were lovely together." My mom beamed.

My heart leaped. My mom really fond of Chloie? I can tell that she really likes her. Well I can't blame her. Chloie is a very nice person. She's innocent and it makes her more beautiful. She's simply breathtaking. Everything about her is incredible.

"Anyway I'm planning a dinner on Saturday night. You know...to get to know her well." Mom said smiling from ear to ear then turned her head to Chloie.

"Oh my pleasure." Chloie replied in a cheery tone. She seemed happy and excited.

"I'm looking forward to it." Then mom bid us goodbyes.

I can't hide the fact that I'm smiling like an idiot. It's the first that my parents paid attention for the girls I've dated. Though technically Chloie and I are not dating and far from being in a relationship yet.

But who am I kidding? I have this urge feeling to protect her and be with her all the time. I just don't know what's taking me so long to admit my feelings towards her. Maybe because I'm afraid she doesn't feel the same way as I am to her. Though she admitted she likes me doesn't mean that it's beyond friendship. I don't want to assumed things.

I want to take it slowly but surely. I want to take care of her every now and then. I want to be part of her life. And this time I'm sure of everything.

'I really like her'
