Straight Into The Fire

Charlize Theron as Khalid's mother Olivia Knightly. 

{Chapter Eighteen} After dragging me against my will to his parents house, we sat there in the car in silence. The whole ride was awkward and somewhat tensed. He knew that his mother and I don't go along, and it's not because she didn't want me for his son or she was evil or anything, it's just that she doesn't want me to hurt his son. She had a hard time when Khalid was in his destructible state, and she doesn't want that for him again.

"Please Winter, for me?" Khalid grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze as he stared at me with those hypnotic eyes. I sighed deeply and nodded my head as he turned off the engine, and we both got out of the car.

He took my hand in his and walked up the house path, stepping in the porch. He rang the bell and my nervousness appeared, my stomach started to feel uneasy and I turned suddenly green. "I don't feel good."

"You're exaggerating." He said thinking I was being dramatic but I really, really didn't feel good at all. I shook my head at him repeatedly and turned to the side, shit. Now, she really, really has a motive to hate me and hovered over a big vase on the side, vomiting all my stomach continent.

"I told you." The door open and I leaned up, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand and put up a forced smile. "Hey, come on in." Her mother greeted us both cheery and mentioned us to get in, closing the door behind us. She was wearing a nice dress with wedges on and an apron over it. "Dinner is almost ready, your father is excited to see you."

I looked at Khalid who gave me a worried smile and breathed in and out from my mouth. "Yes, I'm excited to see him too. We'll be right back." He kissed her mother's forehead and walked with me to the bathroom, locking the door.

"Your mother is going to hate me, I threw up in her favorite vase." I sighed deeply and slumped against the wall. He rolled his eyes at me and I shot him a glare. "Last time, you say I was exaggerating and I threw up in your mother's vase. I know what I'm talking about."

"She's not going to hate you, can you stop saying that?" Khalid said with a frown and a shook of a head, making me sigh. "Come on, you're going to feel better after rinsing your mouth. I think." He added at the end with a smile and I rolled my eyes at him this time.

He opened the mouth wash for me and poured me some. I leaned my head back and poured the blue liquid in my mouth and added water, gargling. I spit in the sink and washed my mouth, closing the tap and dried my mouth.

"Feel better?" I thought for a second and nodded my head, I was feeling better-ish but it was something right? "Okay, let's go."

"Wish me luck, I'm not sure tho. Well, I'll just vomit on you then." I shrugged one shoulder and grinned at him when he looked at me incredulously. "I was joking-ish." He bumped his shoulder into me with a roll of an eye and I ughed at him when he pulled me into him.

"You know you want to." He kissed my forehead and unlocked the door, getting us out of the door. The whole dinner went smoothly, his father is such a sweetheart and talkative. Everything went well, well almost.

"When are you guys going to give me a grandson or granddaughter?" His father asked with a smile on his face and raised eyebrow, making me choke on my food and cough loudly. Khalid patted my back as he gave me some water.

"Honey, she can't. The pregnancy would be too dangerous for her, she could die." His mother replied to his father, taking his hand in hers as she gave it a squeeze. My face fell and I sucked on my trembling lips as tears started to blind my vision which I tried to ignore by blinking away but it only made them fall.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Khalid's mother asked defensive and confused, I know she didn't mean it in a bad way because it was the truth. That was the first thing Leah and Philip told me, that I couldn't get pregnant. It was too dangerous and risky.
