BLSC #15 : The Dark Romance

Chapter 39 - You're The Best

Crystal Lemiere

I ran out from my house and waited for Lucas to get out from his car. He got out and smiled to me. I know that he's so nervous about this dinner. He looked so.. so.. pale and just nervous. I chuckled and hugged him.

"You're going to be okay.. Don't worry." I said and he just nodded at me lightly. I linked my arm to his arm and we walked inside the house.

"Mom." I called and mom went out from the kitchen with dad. I turned to Lucas and he looked at my dad in horror.

"Mr. and Mrs. Lemiere." Lucas said and shook their hands.

"Hello Lucas, how are you?" My mom asked.

"I'm good, Mrs. Lemiere. How about you?"

"Oh I'm good." My mom said and she elbowed my dad to say something.

"Come to the dining room." My dad gestured and they walked to the dining room first.

"I seriously need to talk to dad about this." I hissed and Lucas held my hand shaking his head.

"Don't. It's okay." He said and I sighed. We walked into the dining room and found my brothers here without their wives. I sighed, they planned this already. Me and Lucas sat right across my mom and dad.

Our maids put the food on the table and the tension suddenly rised up a little. I held Lucas' hand trying to calm him down.

"Let's eat." My mom tried to break the ice and I'm glad that mom's here. Today's menu is steak with mashed potato along with my mom's chicken salad. Lucas ate slowly and I kept looking at him completely worried.

"Sir.. Once again.. I love your daughter and I'm very serious with her. I wi-"

"I know. You told me that 7 times already. I know that so well and you proved me that." My dad cut Lucas as he looked at Lucas seriously.

"I'm just a father.." My dad sighed and he looked down to the table, "I will do anything to make my kids happy. Seeing my boys already have their own family makes me happy but seeing Crystal with someone breaks my heart. I mean.. I'm happy seeing her happy but still.. I just.. you know." This is the first time, I saw my dad being so fragile. He always shows us his strong side. I never seen him looking like this.. sad and just so.. fragile.

"3 years when you're gone. I tracked you down and found you but I didn't have the courage to tell her because I was afraid that he will leave me and my wife to go to you." My dad continued.

"When I caught you looking at my daughter, I want to be mad because you left my daughter broken hearted but on the other side.. I want you to break your promise and go back to my daughter and make her happy." I smiled hearing my dad say that.

"Now you're back, sooner or later you will come to me to ask my permission to have her. I already knew that and I was right.. you came to me and her brothers asking for permission." My dad sighed and then looked up to Lucas again.

"I hate to say this but I gave you my permission. I will hate you forever for taking down her last name to be yours.." He said and then my dad chuckled.

"Welcome to the family, Lucas." Matthew said and that made me smile widely.

"Thankyou daddy." I said and he nodded.

"Yeah.. Welcome to the family."

"Thankyou sir.. I mean.. Mr. and Mrs. Lemiere. Thankyou Matt, Dylan and Brandon." Lucas can't contain his smile. He's happy and he turned to me smiling so widely.

"But.. If you break her heart.."

"We will kill you." Dylan said and I glared at him.

"What?" Dylan looked at me innocently.

"You can kill me." Lucas said.

"Good to hear that." Matt said.

"Sorry for last week." Dylan said and I raised my eyebrows.

"Sorry?" I asked.

"Yeah.. Sorry." Brandon apologized too.

"Sorry." Matt said.

"Did I miss out something?" I asked.

"They kicked his butt off.. along with your dad." My mom said and my eyes widen.

"I can't believe you all did that!" I hissed at them and Lucas squeezed my hand. I turned to him and he shook his head signaling me not to talk about it.

"What did you do?" I turned to my brothers.

"We just kick his butt a little bit." Brandon said in a small tone and I punched his arm since he sat beside me.

"Hey!" Brandon protested.

"I will kick you all later on." I glared at them one by one.

"You can call us by our names, Lucas. Just call me Chloe, I told you this before right?" My mom said and Lucas nodded.

"Yes, Chloe."

"So.. Are you planning to take over Vecton?" Brandon asked suddenly and Lucas told me this before. His dad asked him to take over Vecton for 5 years because his brother is still 16 years old. Yes.. they're 11 years apart.

"Yeah, for a couple of years. My brother will go to business school and continue it after that." Lucas answered.

"So you will go to Seattle a lot?" My mom asked.

"Make time for Crystal, don't work all the time." My dad suddenly opened his mouth again. I chuckled and he looked at me.

"I love you daddy, you're the best." I said and he smiled.

"I know."

"Of course, Mr. Lemiere." Lucas smiled.

"Good."

Our dinner continued and we talked about a lot of things. I'm glad that my dad already open up to Lucas. I can't help but feel so happy. At last.. after a few months trying to talk to dad about this, his cold heart melted down now.

Lucas talked about his sister who passed away and talked about his family too. We talked a lot until we didn't realize that it's 11 p.m.

"Thankyou for the dinner, Chloe. It's really good." Lucas said and my mom smiled.

"You're welcome. You can come here anytime."

"Thankyou, Mr. Lemiere. Thankyou for letting me be with your daughter and thankyou for inviting me for dinner." Lucas said and my dad nodded.

"Call me Nicholas."

"Thankyou, Nicholas." Lucas said and my dad nodded. Lucas gave all my brothers a bro hug and then I walked Lucas out. We walked to his car and he held both of my hands suddenly.

"Thankyou."

"For what?" I chuckled looking at him.

"Everything." He said and I smiled.

"I'm yours now.. officially."

"You are mine forever." Lucas said and he gave me a peek on my lips.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked and he nodded.

"Bye babe." He kissed my cheek.

"Bye.. Call me later on." I smiled and Lucas drove away from my house. I walked back into the house and found my dad talking to my brothers. I walked to him and hugged him.

"Wow.. what's this?" My dad asked.

"Thankyou." I said.

"Such a brat." Matt said and I ignored him.

"Welcome." My dad hugged me back and he caressed my head.

"You're the best." I looked up to him and he smiled.

"I always am."

"Ugh.. Spoil brat." Dylan hissed. I turned to him and kicked his ass. He groaned in pain and I looked at Matt and Brandon coldly. They looked away avoidig my eye contact.

"I'm so going to get married tomorrow." I squealed.

"No!" All of them said in unison.

Weirdos..
