The First One...

Chapter 31

"Ben...ohh..Sammy dear, Welcome." Ben's mom Maria hugged me at the door.

"Hi..how are you Maria?" i asked.

"I'm good dear. Please come in." she said and escorted me towards the living room. Ben followed me.

I looked around. It was a big mansion. It looked so classy. There was a huge living room with high class interior. On the center was a big sofa and some chairs. They all were beautifully placed under a big chandelier. It was a two storey mansion. There were stairs at both the corners of the living room leading to upside floors.

"Sammy!! You're here." Mr. Sawyer called entering through the stairs. I waved him smiling. He came near me and hugged.

"So nice of you to be here tonight."

"The pleasure is all mine Mr. Sawyer."

"Ohh comeon call me Joseph."

I nodded smiling. I noticed Ben was with me the whole time but he didn't speak anything. I looked at him. Why is he so quiet?

"What is it?" i asked whispering.

"Nothing. Will you excuse me for a moment?"

"Sure." i said. Something is definitely wrong.

I looked at Ben's parents.

"Seems he is jealous that you are getting all the attention." Joseph said kidding and we all laughed.

We sat on the sofa chatting about work and my parents. They seemed very nice. They were very open to me. I saw Ben joining us again.

"Hi..sorry i was away babes." he said sitting beside me.

"It's fine. Are you alright?"

"Yeah i'm fine. Everything is fine." he said thinking about something. I raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"Ben dear how was your day?" Maria asked.

"It was good mom, except for dad harassing me till noon." he said sarcastically.

"Ben!!" i said giving him a hard look. He mouthed a sorry to me and shrugged. Maria let out a laugh looking at us.

"Sammy i must say you handle him very well."

"Ahh..that's true. I agree Maria." Joseph added winking at me. I blushed and looked at Ben who was giving me that look. I looked away avoiding his gaze.

"Ben..why don't you show her our house. I'll see the arrangements for the dinner by then."

"Sure Mom." Ben said standing.

"Come Sam." he gave a hand for me. I took it and we went upstairs.

"Our house is two storey. We have in all ten bedrooms, a study, a kitchen and a playroom where we have indoor games. There's a gym upstairs. Come I'll show you everyone's rooms first." he said.

I saw Ben's parents bedroom then Jake's and we stopped at Emily's bedroom.

"Is she there?" i asked.

"Yeah..but i don't think we should go." he said shrugging.

Before i could say anything the door opened.

"Sammy.." Emily said looking at me blankly.

"We were just passing by. I was showing her around." Ben said.

"It's fine bro. Come on in."

We went inside. Her room was spacious and looked like she has all the antique pieces collected in one room itself. Ofcourse she is a designer, she must have designed it. Still it looked nice..
