Everything I wish for

Aurora's Pov

We arrived at the venue after about 2 hours drive. The drive was quiet but not awkward. Athena stopped the car in front of the hotel's gate and got out. I fixed my dress and was about to open the door when the door opened. I thought the valet did it but it was Athena. She has been opening my door since the club night.

I mean I ain't complaining, it feels nice. She held out her hand to me, I took it and got out of the car. Looked at her, and she gave a convincing smile and I felt my nervousness getting replaced by butterflies. She handed over the car keys to the valet and we walked towards the hotel gate. The weather was quite chilly, even my full sleeves were of no use. I tried not to show it too much, I can't throw tantrums here.

On entering the hotel the manager I assume led us to the banquet hall. Huge family, huge hall. While walking Athena interlocked our fingers together, and gave them a little squeeze. I looked up at her, and she bent down to my height and whispered. " If you don't feel comfortable, tell me alright, we can leave right away. Okay?" she looked right into my eyes, I couldn't trust my voice so I just nodded. She smiled again, Oo god!

Once the door of the hall opened, I was surprised to see so many people. I looked up at Athena and she was already looking at me. She smiled and nodded and squeezed my hand. That reassured me that Athena was with me, I had nothing to be nervous about.

" Oo! what took you two so long? Everyone has been waiting for you two." Athena's mom exclaimed. She pulled Athena into a hug and then me. The expression on Athena's face did not change at all, it made me wonder about the relationship she has with her parent. They seem like nice human beings. "Athena" a younger and cute squeaky voice interrupted us. Adam, Athena's younger brother was running towards us. He crashed right into Athena's tall legs, " I missed you" he said excitedly. Athena's face had become quite soft but not very noticeable. She just ruffled through Adams's hair. It is understandable Athena not showing emotion as she is not very expressive.

Not being very familiar with me Adam looked at me and just smiled and said Hello. We were led inside the huge hall. People present there were busy in their worlds they didn't notice us instantly. Athena was still holding my hand which was... Very sweet and my confidence at this time. I felt my hand move on looking at it Athena had moved my hand from her hand to her arms. I. Was. Holding. Her arms are like actual couples do. Oh my god, I am about to have a heart attack. She has such solid arms, I wonder what it looks like under these clothes. I was so busy thinking about Athena I didn't realize people were talking to us.

"You two look so good together, oh my god, perfect for each other," a young and beautiful woman said grasping her hand together excitedly. It instantly got me blushing. What the fuck, I am feeling hot all of a sudden. I was standing close to Athena and not willing to let her go at all. She was my comfort. " Come Aurora, join us," Michelle said. She was the wife of Athena's eldest cousin Ritik. She is a really beautiful and confident woman. She gave my arm a little pull but I unconsciously tighten my grip around Athena's arm. " Leave these Abels Children alone you will get bored here, come on," Mikey said, Mikey preferred They/them pronouns.

Athena put her hand on mine which was around her arm which made me look up at her. She was already looking at me, she slowly nodded with a reassuring smile. I didn't want to leave but it will be disrespectful if I decline them. I smiled back at her and let go of her arm. But before turning away she grabbed my wrist and made me wait. She took off her long coat and placed it on my shoulders and smiled. Aaaah! I want to be dead in her smile.

The sound of a throat clearing broke me from looking at Athena. " Now can we go," Michelle said and took my hand and lead me to the couch section where there were 3 to 4 girls whom I rather came to know were girlfriends of some cousins, yeah, I didn't like them. There were points in the conversation where they were saying how Athena was their type and if she was not married they would try on her but Michelle reminded them that we are married and they were already in relationships. I don't exactly remember a lot about the conversation because the scent of Athena from her coat kept entering my nose and thrifting my thoughts toward her. I tried looking over but she was looking the other way with the same stone expression that would scare away everyone but me, cause she does not give me such expressions.

It's just like the books where the stone-faced character becomes soft only one person. I felt my body heat at this thought.
