I start feeling more nervous as we get out of the car, after all i am meeting Mr. Brightwood for the first time.
Kian extends his arm again and just as i reached out to hold onto him, Kellian puts his hand on Kian's back pushing him forward "hurry up, im hungry."
I scoff, does he think I'm trying ti use Kian to get money from him or something.
I wouldn't be surprised.
With a sigh i follow behind them.
The restaurant looked unreal, as i walked in i kept walking around, almost losing Kian and his brother.
"Mother!" Kian opened his arms.
She responded with a hug "Kian, darling. Where is Mirabelle."
Kian scoffed and broke the hug pretending be hurt "now you don't even love your own son?" The woman just smiled and nodded to him "Mirabelle is all you-"
"Ah Mirabelle darling!" She shoved Kian softly away making me almost let a chuckle out.
She hugged me tightly and moved her body left and right "i have missed your presence for so long!"
I smiled not daring to break the hug.
"Honey, that's enough you will squeeze the poor girl to death." I heard a chuckle, it sounded...rich...
She sighed with a smile on her face and pulled away from the hug, "im sorry dear."
I shake my head with a smile, "thats fine."
"Darling, this is Mirabelle." She stood beside me, facing her husband who just stood up.
He extended his arm "You have grown so much dear."
I shook his hand smiling, still a bit nervous. "Yeah..a lot of time has passed.."
Fuck i just really dont know how to socialise.
The man chuckled yet again, "that is true, come take a seat everyone."
Okay now im sure that Kellian is adopted.
They all took their places leaving only one seat free, and my smile faded a bit.
"Take a seat darling!" Mrs. Brightwood was a bit too enthusiastic.
I made sure no one noticed my sigh as i made my way to the chair near Kellian.
I didn't look at him but i could feel him smirking as he looked down.
"So how did the overboard business go?" I looked at Mr. Brightwood a bit startled, his voice was stone cold now, nothing like a few seconds ago.
"It went well." Kellian responded with a nod, his tone was serious as he held eye contact with his father.
Shit. Maybe he isnt adopted after all..
"Charles!" Mrs. Brightwood squeezed his hand that was resting on the table.
"Right sorry-" He looked at his wife and his gaze changed in an instant, he was all warm and sweet with her now.
"No business talk." Mrs. Brightwood finished her husband's sentence.
Mrs. Brightwood asked me how im doing and if i was having difficulties in my classes.
We talked for awhile, the atmosphere became warm.
I forgot Kellian was beside me as he almost never said anything.
"Kellian," Mrs. Brightwood spoke looking at him, "since you're older and more mature than Kian-" Kian furrowed his eyes at his mother-his mouth full of the delicious steak.
"-you have to take good care of Mirabelle." She said with a nod.
"Oh, yes i will." Kellian grinned slightly at his mother and i turned my head towards him so fast i thought i broke my neck.
He put his hand on my bare thigh.
Even though i was smiling at him my eyes screamed 'what the fuck are you doing?'
"Mirabelle darling,"
I turned to face Mrs. Brightwood with a smile as i put my hand on his and tried to push it off "hm?" i thought if i was to say something I'd scream.
I breathe in sharply, feeling my heartbeat quicken as he squeezed it.
"If you need anything you can always rely on Kellian, hes very responsible."
I nod my head smiling, though i didn't pay attention to what she said, my attention was on this jerk's hand that moved up to my dress's line.
I looked at Kellian "is that so?" I grit my teeth and raise my eyebrows as i still struggle to push his hand off.
His elbow resting on the table he puts his face in his palm as he looks at me, his eyes no longer cold and icy but an...unusual expression on it?
"Ask me if you need anything and you'll see."
Is he enjoying this right now?
"Finally you're getting along." Spoke Kian turning all of the attention on him, giving me a chance to pinch Kellian's hand.
As i do so he pulls his hand away.
As the others talk about us, Kellian glares at me and i put my hands covering my thighs, in case he tries something unfunny again.
A small smirk spreads on his face and he lays his hand on top of mine.
Okay hes asking for a fist in his face.
"Did you have trouble with Kellian dear?" Mrs. Brightwood glares at Kellian as she asks me.
He puts the hand that was on the table up trying to look all innocent.
Then she looked at me, oh how i wanna tell her everything.
"We had a little missunderstanding at the beginning." Now that he removed his hand i was safe, i could breathe again, i put my hands away to sit more comfortably.
I try not to make my glare too obvious "right?" I nod my head at him.
