My girlfriend's brother

Meeting her family

Years passed by since i entered my second year in college. I have now a job that i absolutely love with an adorable crew, i met my girlfriend Mona... we've been together for a year, now. It all started by a nice friendship and it turns out we're a couple now.

Last year, we spent christmas with my dad and now is time we get to spend it with her family. The Uppercrust... that name is everywhere, for sure. When my father and Pete, PJ's dad, met one of them at the tennis game, that one brat from my college... and now my girlfriend! I mean, maybe this name is just famous. Like "Smith", "Brown"...doesn't mean they're all related!

We finally arrived in front of that big mansion that her family owns. Never knew they'd be so... affluent. She never actually mentionned how her family was rich. It's actually been a while for her since she saw them, actually. I park myself on their private parking lot.

« So... here we are, she exclamed!

- Wow... you sure it's the right address? Because that doesn't look like a regular family house to me, i ask.

- Yeah, i should have warned you about that but don't let yourself get frightened by how big it is! I'm sure my family are thrilled to meet you already. Come on! Let's get our stuffs out later.»

We go out of our cars to walk toward the stairs, leading us to that giant front door of theirs. Arrived in front of the door, she knocked. And we waited... until a butler welcomed us in.

« Miss Mona, he says. How pleasuring it is to see you again! And who is this gentleman with you?

- I'm Max, i smile. Maximilian Goof.

- Pleasure to meet you also. I will call out your-»

The butler didn't had time to finish his sentence that her parents were already there. They look really glad to meet me but they were also very happy to have their daughter in their arms again.

« Father, mother: this is Maximilian Goof. My boyfriend.»

They both went to check my hand. I felt welcomed.. but... weren't there supposed to be her brother?

« Mom, where is he?

- Your brother, she asks? He said he'd be a bit late. There was a traffic jam going on so he'd be approximatively just in time for dinner!»

Her father ordered the butler to take our luggages out of our car. I decided to help him out. Mona led us to her bedroom. It was all giant and so pretty. She made me visit her place, after this. It was my first time in such a big place like this... there was a beautiful and colourful garden, a big golf park and a tennis court... they had almost 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms... they had three cars- but not simple cars! Old collection ones... How come Mona never told me about all of this? Maybe it was too much for her.

After we spent our time riding bikes around the village, we came back to the mansion, as it was now 6:30 pm. I guess her brother finally made his way home. I hope he will be as friendly as his parents and sister.

« I'm glad you made it just in time, her mother says, seemingly talking to her brother.

- Well of course i'm right on time for dinner, he replied. I have also heard we were having a guest tonight.

- Not only for tonight, her father adds. He will stay with us for a while and we will be celebrating Christmas and the New Year eves with him. I hope you two will get along.

- Oh great... i thought it was only between our family.

- Well it is, adds the mother! He is your sister's partner.»

Her brother's voice seemed familiar. As i approach to the hallway, i suddenly felt chocked by his presence... i couldn't help but widened my eyes when our eyes met... for the first time in years... it was none other than that rascal i mentionned earlier... what was his name already?
