Finding 4

Chapter 31

Marley

He's my boyfriend. Callum Lynch is my boyfriend.

It's weird, because only a few months ago I couldn't stand him. A few months ago I was also with an absolute asshole, and now I'm with a guy that I'm completely certain would not even lay a finger on me if I asked him not to.

And now, I'm standing in front of a very large house in the countryside. Theres multiple cars in the driveway, which by the way is blocked off by a gate that you have to punch a code into.

When he said his grandparents were rich, he wasn't exaggerating.

"Calm down." He chuckles, squeezing my hand three times. "They'll love you."

"But what if they don't?" I look over at him. "What if they absolutely hate me."

"They aren't big on judging." He scrunches his nose.

I notice that his entire family does that, especially Maeve and Kennedy. I think it's cute.

"I-"

He shuts me up by placing a quick kiss on my lips. "They are going to love you."

He doesn't say anything else when he pushes open the front door to the house and we walk in. His family is already here because they drove separately since he had to pick me up.

"Callum," I whisper yell, and stifle a groan when we walk into the house.

It's even more impressive on the inside, with all types of decorating and architecture that's so nice I don't even know how to explain it.

"Is that you, Callum?" An unfamiliar feminine voice calls out right before an older blonde woman walks into the corridor. A smile immediately takes over her face. "Hey love."

"Hey Dellie," he smiles too before they go in for a hug.

God damn look at those back muscles.

I tear my eyes away from my boyfriend's very good looking body and look at his grandma, who's moving for me now.

"I have to hug you too," her soft Irish accent fills my ears. "I'm Edel, but you can call me Dellie."

"I'm Marley," I say as we pull away. "It's nice to meet you."

"Oh you're gorgeous. Just like your mother."

She knew my mom?

A large man turns the corner, and I'll be damned if that isn't the hottest older man I've ever seen. When he flashes his smile, I almost swoon all the way to my knees.

"You must be Marley," he smiles.

I mirror his smile and nod once, "That's me."

"I've heard a lot about you." He adds.

"Oh you probably already hate me then." I joke and he laughs.

"No I think the whole family is already in love with you." he shakes his head still chuckling.

"Let's go to the kitchen, yeah?" Edel says next.

About fifteen faces turn to us when we walk into the large kitchen.

How big is this kids family?

"Cally Wally," a dark haired boy smiles.

What the fuck?

"Conny Wonny." Callum matches his energy, and the two wrap each other in one of those manly hugs.

I just stare at the two confused, and when I hear someone snickering from next to me I look over at an equally dark haired girl.

"Sorry, they get weird when they're together." She says. "I'm Caoimhe."

I smile, slightly chuckling at her words. "I'm Marley."

"Callum being a fucking insestual prick and introduce us to your girlfriend." A blonde boy who looks to be about twenty says.

A blonde woman, who's definitely his mom, smacks him in the back of his head. "Watch your mouth. Tadgh, he's still taking after you."

"Sorry," Tadgh holds his hands up defensively, "it just means he's cool."

"Don't ever say that again." Flynn says to his dad.

Everyone chuckles and then Tadgh starts to name people off.

Theres Johnny and Shannon, who have Rory, Connor, and Caoimhe. Then there's Joey and Aoife, who have AJ. Then there's Ollie and his wife Scarlett, who's pregnant with their first kid, and Sean, who's still in university, but he has a girlfriend, Annie, who isn't here today.

Although, that's just his family. Apparently there's a shit tone of friends, and their kids, who are usually here. Luckily for my memory though, they aren't here today.

"What's it like in America?" One of the Kavanagh kids, Connor, asks a little while later when we're seated at the table.

"God you're stupid." Caoimhe mumbles, rubbing a hand over her face.

I chuckle but answer his question anyway. "I guess it's like Ireland, just different sports and words."

"So it's lame?" He asks.

This time I laugh "I guess that just depends on who you are."

"Did you play any sports?" Joey asks me.

I nod "I ran track."

"Oh, are you going to run at Tommen? I hear they have a good team." Aoife adds.

"I plan on it," I smile sheepishly. "As long as I make the team."

"Oh come on," Maeve says, "you will."

I smile at her and my phone buzzes. I look at it from under the table. Masons calling.

I press ignore.

For the next thirty minutes, he calls. I click ignore each time, but he keeps calling. He's even messaged me a few times saying something along the line of please answer, or I need you.

Even then, I still ignore him and the unsettling feeling in my gut. If he needs someone, he can call Emily. I'm sure she'd be happy to help.

A hand gets placed on my thigh, taking my attention from my phone. I look up at Callum, who's now rubbing his thumb on my thigh, his palm still pressed flat against it.

I smile at him to reassure that everything is okay, and then we go back to eating dinner, and catching up with his family.

They're really nice. I like them. They are also pretty funny, and from the sounds of it I can't wait to meet this Gibsie guy, because he sounds even more hilarious.

Just a filler chapter but I also wanted to involve the og boys of Tommen characters :)
