Bound To Be His

Chapter 4 - The First Meeting

  The doorbell ring again and I went to open the door for our guests. I saw Mr and Mrs rae at the doorsteps and greeted them good evening. Mr rae gave me a side hug and complimented on my look which I accepted with a thankyou. Mrs rae gave me a warm smile saying you're more beautiful than what I've heard of Little daisy. I smiled back at her and welcomed them inside. Dad and mom soon came and greeted them with hug and some small talks.
     It was said to be a whole family dinner but I think their too good of a son couldn't make it here.
     As if sensing my thoughts Mr rae turned back and said Augustus is on the phone outside... will be here right away. As he said that he looked at my father and both of their faces formed a huge grin.
   I just nodded my head and smiled back at him.
Like seriously.. Its not like I was eager to meet him or anything. If anything I was just curious as to how he looked like. They totally misunderstood.

   They immediately immersed into their own conversation and went towards the dining room. I was on my way too when I heard the doorbell ring again. Honey.. Can you get the door please my mom cheered from the dining hall. Sure Mom I replied and went to the door. I don't know why but my heart was thudding.
          Just as I clicked the door open the lights went out. Uh.. Huh.. Talk about awakard!! There he was one hand in his jeans pocket and another on the doorside. I could only see his tall form in the dark.

Umm.. Hey!! I said. He chuckled lightly and said hey in his rough voice. Okay... His voice is hot.
Well.. This is unusual. The power never went out before please come in
I smiled a little not that he can see. So your saying its probably because of my appearance. No No... I defended myself rather soon to which he just chuckled again. Relax.. I'm just kidding he says and I actually laugh.. I feel myself at ease. Well the atmosphere is lighter now.
I could use my phone torch but my phone is in kitchen.
Well if your asking me to open my phone torch then sorry to disappointed you my phone is dead right now.
Oh... Okay. Its not like I need it. I know my house like the back of my hand. I was laughing when I say that and I actually forgot there's one step of stair down the floor in which I stumble and lost my balance. Shit...!! I'm a lost cause now. I closed my eyes and was anticipating the fall but what I felt was strong muscular arm around my waist. And I forgot to breath for a while.
          Yeah like the back of your hand right.. He says and chuckled again. What's with him and chuckling. This person is so annoying but I don't hate it. He slowly brings my arched body up and closer to his. Damn he even smells good. Like really really good. Our faces we inches apart when the lights were on. Then I finally saw it... His face. But what shocked me most was his eyes. His light ocean blue eyes which I had seen in my dreams. The same eyes that had me waking up early in the mornings. But how can it be?? I have never met him before. So why see it in my dreams.
    He chuckles again and my focus shifted from his eyes to his face. He was gorgeous. Bad boy kind of gorgeous. His lips forming into a smrik when he sees that I am staring at each part of his face. At this moment my face was red as a tomato and I take a sharp intake of breath... He just kept his eyes focused on me. On my parted lips..... I didn't know what to say and stupidly I blurted out "Hey". He laughed a little laugh this time not leaving my eyes and said Hey. I was actually embarrassed but he feels warm and comfortable.

Where did you guys go?? Dinner is ready. Come to the Hall!! My moms voice boomed from the kitchen and I backed myself away from him. To which he seemed a little annoyed. I ignored it and went to the dining room and he followed suit.

       We were soon seated on our seat and having dinner. While in the dinner I kept feeling his eyes on me, His light blue eyes. He was seated just in front on me which didn't help my self consciousness at all. I stirred uncomfortablely in my seat and eat with my head down.
               Our parents were busy having the talks of their life unaware of the constant staring he was giving me. Somewhere in the middle of the dinner I met his gaze and raised my eyebrow to which he just gave an amused smile and kept staring still.
         His gaze was too intense for me to handle. Soon I stand up from my seat excusing myself from everyone and went to the kitchen. I kept my plates in the sink, washed my hands and when I turned to leave. He was there just 3 steps away from me.

               My breath got hitched in my throat. I didn't know what to do or say and stupidly yet again I said.. Hey. He chuckled again taking a step closer to me and said Hey. I just took a step back in return and come into contact with the sink. I looked up to his face. His face had an amusing glint in his eyes. He was about to say something just then my mom entered the room. He didn't take any action to step away from me and as he was standing only 2 steps away from me I took it upon myself to go a little farther from him. I really don't want to give my parents any false hope like we might be into each other and eventually marry each other. That would be a lot to take.

     Augustus... You must be bored. Daisy dear why don't you show Augustus around the house hmm. You guys are the young ones so just go around... Have some fun, get to know each other. Okay..!! My mom says with a happy smile on her face.
               Yeah sure I would love that Mrs. D says Augustus. Oh please call me aunty son. My mom voiced. Sure aunty was his short and happy reply.
  Both mom and Augustus looked at me with anticipation. Yeah sure just throw me into lions den mother.🙄
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It must have been rude but looks like Augustus didn't mind because he just chuckled.... Again.
   Is the garden fine with you?? I'll show you around after we return.. Or we can look around first and then go outside..i said not sure what he would like.
      Garden is fine. I could use a little walk and fresh air to digest the heavy meal I just had.....He gives a smile.
I just nod my head... Look at my mom once and proceed to walk out to the garden knowing he is following right behind.
