Finding Love

Mateo

"I got faith in you and I"

Rosalie slept over and I ended up asking her to move in with me. Sophia had left and there was no point in her staying in a double room alone. 

My mother planned for us to go to breakfast and celebrate my goal from yesterday, I agreed to go as long as Rose came.

She wasn't sure at first but after a little convening and a few kisses she agreed. I'm now driving us to the restaurant my parents were waiting at. I wore a basic white tee with blue pants while Rosalie had on a strapless black dress that stopped at her knee with heeled sandals

"I am going to a family brunch. I mean this is kind of scary Mateo" Rose ranted in the car. She's been watching my past two games with them and they all love her so I don't know why she was scared

The only one I could understand is my dad... he isn't the nicest at first approach. 

"Sweetheart, it'll be fine" I reassured him with my hand on her leg

"You're right, I'm overthinking this" she said staring out the window as I drove into the city. We arrived at a big building and I got out for the valet to park the car, grabbing Rosalies hand we walked in together

The restaurant was beautiful and I found my parents sitting in the chairs near the entrance 

"Ola, Mama" I greeted kissing her cheek as she smiled 

"You guys made it!" she interlocked her arms with Rose and pulled her to the table. I followed behind with my father, "how are you papa" I asked making conversation

"Good. Nice goal yesterday" he said emotionless. At least I got some positive words, If he wasn't yelling at me he was silent

"Catia, this is wonderful" I heard Rose praise my mom as we sat ot the outside deck near the water. My mother really outdid herself. 

"Please, it was an easy find" she said taking a seat across from Rose. My father sat besides my mother and I next to rose. There were two open seats that I assumed were for my brother and Nathalie 

"Your brother will be here soon. Nathalie's mom is babysitting the girls" my mother informed us. I nodded my head and started to skim the menu, "you see anything" I asked resting my hand on her leg. She looked away from the menu, "I think a mimosa sounds good right now" she answered placing her hand over mine.

I was slowly falling head over heels for this women and focused on Rosalie, I didn't hear my father clear his throat, "estamos em público" he said as my brother and wife walked to the table

"Sorry for being late" Nathalie apologized, but I couldn't process them because of my fathers words

"Papa, what do you mean we're in public?" I called him out as Enzo sat down and Nathalie took the chair next top me. He looked at me placing his menu down, "eu não quero fotos tiradas de nós aqui com ela" he said with disgust

Rosalie looked confused by the conversation and my mother tried to intervene but he had me fucked up, "Fale em Inglês... no need to hide" I spitted back getting irritated. What did he mean he didn't want to be seen with Rose? As if it wasn't clear enough she was somebody special to me

"Please, don't fight" my mother pleaded. I wanted to question him more but Enzo changed the subject quick

"Papa, they have cod. I bet it's really good" he said making my father loose interest in me. How could they act he didn't disrespect Rose? 

"Mateo, are you ok? Rosalie whispered in my ear as I glared at my father. This was supposed to be a nice family dinner so I shouldn't make a scene right now...
