Taming The Devil

20. Meeting Parents

Anamika's POV

After Alex left the room, I looked at the mini alarm clock on the nightstand. It was past 11 and I'm just too tired to get up and walk around so I tried to lay myself in a comfortable relaxed position. And that was when I felt a towel below me. I reached to grab it and keep it away so that I could finally get comfortable.

This is probably the one Alex was wearing earlier. As I was about to keep it aside, my eyes caught something. I bright red bloody stain on the towel.

I narrowed my eyes and made up my mind to definitely question Alex regarding this.

And then soon after, i drifted back to sleep as my body was too tired to do anything else.

After I woke up from my deep slumber, I realised that I was wearing one of Alex's shirts. I looked at the time and it was half past 5. Feeling hungry, I made my way to the kitchen, only to find Alex sitting and looking at his laptop. His face was quite serious but as soon as his eyes landed on me and his expression softened immediately.

I felt him type something on his laptop as I made my way to the kitchen. I looked around and was shocked to see rice with aaloo matar? (Potato and peas)

I looked at him shocked, but he was no where in sight. Confused, I was about to turn to look for him when I felt a pair of hands around my waist, my body relaxed when when the familiar smell of his cologne infilled my nostrils.

I felt his lips gently kissing on my neck and a soft moan escaped my lips. He chuckled as he said "you must be hungry, sit on the table while I serve you."

My eyes lit up as I heard food. I looked at him with my Sparkly eyes as I asked, "who made this?" Pointing towards the aaloo matar.

"Well that would be your personal Indian cuisine chef, Me." A giggle escaped my lips at his outrageous declaration. My personal Indian cuisine chef?

I mean how many of total Indian dishes names does he even know? But he made this himself? That's something amazing.

"Sooo, how did you actually made this?" I asked as I tasted it. And damn. I didn't expected it to taste this good.

"Well, i followed a recipe online." He said as he took his seat opposite to mine. Looking at me devouring the food he made with a smile on his face.

Although half way through I ditched the spoon and started to eat with my hand. I mean, you can't be indian if you don't eat Indian dishes with your hands. That's how we've been thought since we're kids. Atleast in most of the families. Eating with spoons and forks are English culture that only happens when we go out in restaurants to eat.

After I was finished eating, Alex and I sat cuddled up on the coach while watching movies.

After two rounds of movies and six rounds of calls for Alex, I heard him say "Soooo...my parents wants to meet you. Next weekend. They're coming back from their trip to Bangkok. And if I don't take you home myself, my mom threatened me to come here herself, take you with her and won't let me see you for a month. I absolutely can't live a day without you. So you can't really reject. But I can postpone it to another time if you're not ready to meet them yet. I mean they will understand."

Okay. What??? He told his parents about me??? And now they wants to meet me?? Wait but when did we confirmed our relationship?? I mean we did do 'that'. But we haven't confessed to each other yet.

But what if he mom comes here and doesn't like me? And thought I don't want to meet her?

"Hey hey...stop overthinking things." A deep voice of Alex brought me out of my over thinking.

I looked into his eyes. The most gorgeous deep blue eyes. I know it's hard for us to be together. But I do want to live with him for the rest of my life. I know he has said many times that he loves me. Indirectly, but yes, he said that. I leaned over him to kiss him. At first he was shocked but after a moment, he deepened the kiss. It was passionate but gentle and loving. I broke the kiss, catching my breath when he murmured against my lips "I love you...I really really love you, my angel."

I know now the is time. I pulled back and looked into his deep blue ocean eyes as I said "i love you too Alex. I love you." A smile made its way on my lips as I said those words. I giggled when I was him freez into his place and his eyes widened.

I felt his hand on the back of my head pulling me into another kiss. And after that he put his forehead on mine and said holding my face in his hands "you've made me the happiest man today."

"So you coming home with me or should I ask them to reschedule it later?" He asked again with a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"I..I have a question regarding that..why.. why did you tell them soo soon?" I asked not knowing how to answer that question.

"Well.. they've known for quite a while that I've fallen in love. And when I talked to them earlier in the afternoon when you were asleep, they asked me if i manage to make you fall for me and I said yes. So they want to meet you and want to know the girl who made me fall for her after being emotionless for more than thirty years. And told me to bring you home next weekend." He said with a small smile on his lips.

Wait. Emotionless?? And more than thirty years?? Now that I think about it..i don't even know his age. I mean he looks pretty young. But still.

"Um..Alex...I want to ask you something."

"What is it, Angel?"

"How old are you?" Well that question earned me a hearty laughter from him. My cheeks heated up in embarrassment. I should've asked about that way earlier.

"Well I'm thirty one, princess."

"You're five years older than me??" I asked shock evident on my face.

"Apparently. Now enough with you avoiding my question. Now tell me you're meeting them or should I accept the blind dates?" He said with a serious face.

"What? What do you mean by blind dates?" I said as my eyes again widened with shock.
