The Billionaires Big PHAT Secret

Chapter Thirty- eight

Sure you want me here with you? A day like this should be spent with the people that care about you" I voiced uneasily beside.

We were

standing outside the front door of his parents house. "So what are you trying to say? That you don't care for me?" He said coming close. A little too close for comfort. "Speechless now, aren't we" he said with a smile tugging at a corner of his mouth.

Our lips were so close I could feel the warmth radiating from him. At that moment the door came open. "Aw, Joshua why are you just standing out here?" She pulled him into an embrace. "Happy birthday dear." She said planting a kiss on each cheeks. He returned her gesture.

I was mortified and at the same time I could see his jaw clenched, probably from annoyance.
"Great timing mother." He looked over at me. "Mother this is Samantha Jones, Samantha this is my mother, Val O'Connor."

"Its nice to meet you Mrs. O'Connor" I said getting ready for a hand shake but instead she pulled me into a huge. I was startled at first then finally returned the hug.

"Welcome dear." She said releasing me. "Well come inside, dinner is about ready"

All of a sudden I felt nervous, As if I would run off at any minute. Joshua must have saw the nervousness, for he gave me a assuring smile.

His mother turned into the house, with us following behind her into a very large living room were everyone else was seated.

"Father!" Joshua said to an older looking version of him. He was lounge in a large seat with a glass of what looked like alcohol in it.

"Son, long time no see. The man stood up from his seat, "Are you eating well, you look a little on the thin side" they both exchanged a hand shake

"Yes father, I have been well" He returned. "Father this is Samantha Jones, Samantha this is my father Edward O'Connor" he pulled me into his side, gesturing at the older version of him except his hair was brown but he still had the same jade eyes as Joshua.

"A pleasure!" He said with a hand over his chest and a slight bow of the head.

"Samantha, this is Marcel O'Connor, my youngest brother and only sibling"

"The better half ma lady" He said taking my hand in his and placing a kiss atop it "such beauty" My face immediately heated and my head felt like it was about to pop from all these complement."

"Nice to meet you" I said trying not to show too much teeth. His accent was as thick as Joshua's.

His hair was the same color as Joshua's, he was a little below his brothers height with golden brown eye's, the same as his mother's.

I was knocked from my line of thoughts when Mrs. O'Connor announced that dinner was ready. "This way dear" She said pulling me to the dinning room. "Here sit next to me, it's not often we have other females here........ apart from friends that is"

"Ok" I said taking the seat next to her.

The table was lined out with a variety of food in dishes. Mrs. O'Connor started to dish out the food.

I had to stop her when she was about to pour win into my glass. "No. Could I just have some water instead?" imagine the embarrassment I would create on myself, here, in front of Josh's parent and brother.

"Mother, she doesn't drink.....well cant drink that is." Joshua said his face unreasonable. He could have just finish at the "can't drink "part.
