Entangled Unwillingly

Lunch with the Blacks

  We went to fancy Italian restaurant, the type of aesthetics that Grace loved. We were escorted towards our private setting, and it was much more beautiful with everything proper and elegant. It was a three seater arrangement with beautiful curtains. I tried to remove Damien's hand from my hand to take a seat, but it was tightened and eventually I was ushered towards the corner seat across the wall as Noah moved the chair away from the table for me to sit on it. As we settled on the table, a very beautiful lady came to our table with the Menu and offered us their welcoming drink, to which I ordered simple water. "What do you wanna eat love" Noah asked, while I was going through with the food Menu. "I will just have Spaghetti with Meat balls" I said simply, least interested in food right now. "what about dessert love" He asked as if he is the waitress.
"I guess tiramisu" I said slightly excited to eat the coffee flavored sweet.
"Anything else love" Noah asked. "I think that would be sufficient" I said looking in his eyes as lovingly as possible. He smiled at me. Today is a very important day, I have to be very discreet and probably being all lovey-dovey might do the trick. 
The waitress returned back with our drinks. She put down my water while gave whatever fancy drinks the brothers ordered. Noah gave our orders as I went through news feed, a bad habit I have developed over the period of time. I feel my phone going out of my grip very swiftly, I looked up to see my phone in Damien's hand "No phone on table babe" he said. I just nodded my head, while my heart started beating since my phone was in Damien's hand and if he wishes to go through it, I wont be able to snatch my phone back for the life of me. Shit there might be something or the other which could create a disastrous situation. What if Grace messages me. Why the hell haven't I put any security lock on my phone.
I looked away from my phone which was still in his hand "We are having a family dinner today with my sister and her kids and also with our other brother, We will pick you from your house by seven in the evening" He said keeping my phone on the table. I would have to leave from the office by 4 in the evening, since I would need at least need an hour to get things done. I might have gone into a trance because I heard Noah's hand slightly shaking my hand "You alright Love?" He said voice laced with concern. "Yes, I am alright" I said nodding my head. "The thing is I don't want to be rude and reject tonight's dinner of yours but I have promised Anna I will be going with her to her best friends birthday party" I said making a lie without thinking much about it. "No issues love you can tell us that you wont be able to come, but when does the party starts" Damien asked. "I think it starts by 6 in the evening" I said, I will leave early with this excuse. "That's great, The birthday wont last more than 3 hours, So we will come get you by 9 at night, our brother is a busy bird you can just meet him for some time tonight, he is traveling again tomorrow" Noah said. "Yes this sounds better" Damien chipped in.

The waitress was back with the Food. I had no appetite now, I will just puke whatever I eat right now with the amount of twist and turns my stomach was taking in this stressful situation. I need to be out of the state before they know I am out of the state. By the time they get to know I am missing they will create a havoc, probably block the airport and get higher security on the outgoing planes and things will get difficult if I would still be in the state. "You guys can just pick me up by 9 today from my place, we all can join in for a late night party. I will spend some time with Anna too. We can get her favorite Choco chip ice-cream too." I said hoping I get to save  precious couple of hours.
"No problem love, do you want us to forward it to tomorrow. You surely should spend some more time with Anna. You might meet her less once you start staying with us." Damien said as matter of fact. "Why would I meet her less she is my sister, I can meet her anytime I want. What we have is different, but that doesn't mean our bond could stop me from meeting my own sis..." I was cut the of before completing my sentence. "Babe what we mean is, we all might travel somewhere or the other and that may keep you away from Anna."
Noah Said. "Alright I understand but they are my family and I need to be there for them." I said. "What do mean by that?" Damien said squinting his eyes. "I mean, I wouldn't entirely leave my grandma and Anna to come live with you. I may have to be with them at least three to four days a week " I said playing my food with the fork.

"We won't let you go" Damien said as if there could be no further discussion on it. I looked up from my food to see Noah nodding his in affirmation. "I will go" I said just to spite him up.
"You can always try love, but that will be a punishable, we are mates, love we need to be there with each other for every single day and what you are saying is you want to be away from us for half the week. So yes that would be punishable and I think you can hardly go through Two of punishments a year. So the rest 154 might get little difficult for you." Noah said with a smirk. I looked at him speechless. And why the hell am I discussing with them when I am going to leave today evening. What's wrong with me. "Besides you might just don't want to leave us yourself " Damien said. "I seriously doubt that" I said with a laugh unconsciously and immediately realized as I could see the turn of their face expression to a more serious one.
I laugh a little more awkwardly to tame the situation "Don't worry, I am not clingy, and besides you guys would need your own space" I said trying to lighten the mood.
Damien kept both his knife and fork down looking at me and wiping his hand on the cloth. He took a hold of the base of my chair and pulled me towards him "Love, we would never need space from you. You are the light of our life now, we love you and it's getting worse." I was looking at his plate trying to not be in the moment. He gently lifted my chin towards him only few inches from mine. "We know you don't feel the same right now, but once we mark and mate you officially then I know you will start to feel the same." He said kissing my lips holding onto the chin.
I can never feel any love for them. Not now not ever

      I looked at my plate that was now a bit far away. How will I eat with my Plate so far away, I was unable to find courage in getting my chair back to its original place where my plate was aligned with the chair. I was lost for words on what to say now. Damien got up from his chair and got behind my chair lifting it and putting back to its original place. "Don't stress love, For now lets eat" He said lightly kissing my upper part of the cheek. I was flustered but also very relieved.  

  We started eating in silence, I could not think properly. My head was a mess. I have to write a letter to Grandma and tell her about the financials. what if they know I am on a run before me getting in the flight. What if some one on the airport recognizes me. 
 I took a deep breathe. I realized my hand was catching the fork and not eating anything for a while now. 
Calm down Ezra, First get out of the Black brothers hold then will do one thing at a time. 
I started eating the food calmly. 
One thing at time.
Cant draw any suspicion now.

Keep Calm and Vanish.
