Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Four

Amara's POV
It has been about two weeks since mine and Remington's first date. We have gone on little lunch dates here and there and he has visited me at work every time I have a shift. Currently, I am talking to one of my co-workers, Ally. She's a girl around average height, with short dark blue hair, and pretty blue eyes. She thinks that Remington is going to ask me to be his girlfriend, but I think it's still too early.

"Girl, he is always coming in here and taking you out to lunch. He is so going to ask you to be his girlfriend! Actually, where is he? Your shift is nearly over."

"Oh, he told me that he and his brothers had to go to the studio today but that he'll stop by my house after they are done." While I did think that it's still too early for him to ask me, I kind of want him to. I really like him. I may even love him. I continue working, stocking shelves and putting books back in their correct section. Soon enough, it's time for me to clock out and go home.

Once home, I put on a pot of water for tea and change into some comfy clothes. I grab a mug from the cabinet and put the tea and sugar in it before pouring the water. When it's to my liking, I take the mug with me into the living room where I sit and put on some Netflix. I'm halfway through the first season of Supernatural, again, when I hear a knock on the door. Now any logical person would just go to the door and open it. But not me. I carefully, as to not be seen, crawl over to the window to try and see who it is. Looking carefully out the window, I am happy to see the silvery-blond, spiky hair that belongs to Remington. I walk over to the door and open it.

"Hey Rem. How's it going?" I say to him as I open the door wider and move to let him in. "Hey Amara. I'm better now that I'm with you. Ooh, that sounded less cringey in my head," he says with a laugh. "Haha, it's fine. How was the studio? Get a lot of work done?"

"Yeah, we did! Really just messed around with some sounds. Still trying to get the lyrics right and whatnot."

"That's great! I know you guys are going to make some kickass music! So do you want to come and watch some Supernatural with me? I'm only halfway through season one."

"Well actually, I came over to pick you up."

"What do you mean? I thought we were just going to hang out here tonight. Where are we going?"

"Well uh, my brothers and mom want to meet you so they invited you over for dinner. We have to be at my mother's house in two hours." I am completely speechless! We aren't even "official" yet and he wants me to meet his family. I may have already met his brothers, but not in such a personal and private setting. "What do I have to wear? I don't know if I'm ready to meet them. What if they don't like me?"

"Calm down. Just wear something nice like you always do. And they will love you. I just know it." After I calm down, I go and get dressed. I am wearing a tight shirt with an leather vest over it, black tights, and some platform boots. I kept my hair down and did a basic smokey eye makeup. Remington was lounging on my bed the entire time I was getting ready. We finally leave my house, my nerves very high. Remington drives for about half an hour before turning down a winding dirt road in a wooded area outside L.A(AN: I don't know if there is a wooded area outside of Los Angeles because I don't live there but for the sake of the story pretend there is). We pull up to an iron gate that opens when we get closer to it. Behind the gate is a beautiful, three story stone manor.

Remington parks the car and gets out. I go to open the car door but Remington beats me to it. What a gentleman. Sebastian better watch out. Remington might come and steal his branding. Together we walk up to the front door. Instead of knocking, Remington just opens the front door and walks in. "I'm back and I'm not alone!" He shouts out. I stand in place and take everything in. The living room, which is what we walked into coming through the front door, has beautiful cream wall with amazing photographs hung up. The floors are hardwood and there are plush chairs and two sofas surrounding a glass coffee table. There is also a beautiful stone fireplace with more pictures on the mantle and two bookcases, one in either side.

"We are in the kitchen!" I hear a feminine voice call to us from a room over. "I hope Sebastian isn't cooking. At least not any potatoes we may be having."

"Why is that? I ask, a bit puzzled. As we are walking into the kitchen, Remington says, "Because he always burns them. But he'll say they're not not burned but roasted." I then hear a door say, "They're not burned, they're roasted. They are supposed to look like that."

"See what I mean? They are not supposed to be black." He says while shaking his head. "Shut up Remington." Sebastian says walking up to us. He's wearing his typical suit, this one a nice, cool grey. "You must be Amara. I'm Sebastian."

"I know. I'm a fan of Palaye." I smile at him and I look to my right and see Emerson sitting at the counter, drawing. He was wearing a semi see through, three quarter sleeve shirt, a red plaid vest with matching pants, loafers, many necklaces like usual, and his signature hat. He looks up and says a quiet 'hi' before going back to his art. I don't mind though because I know he is a quiet person and he puts a lot of attention and detail in his art, which I love.

"Oh! Remington, you're finally her! And is this her?" I hear the feminine voice again and I turn to see one of the most beautiful and graceful women ever. She is tall with chocolate brown hair, kind, brown eyes, and a warm and friendly smile. This woman just radiates kindness, peacefulness, and love.

"Yes I am finally here. And yes, this is her. Mom I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Amara." Remington says.

"G-girlfriend?!"

"Yeah, are you okay with that?" He asks me.

"Yes!" Remington smiles wide and kisses me. We break apart and I look at his mother. "Thank you for inviting me into your home Mrs.-"

"Just call me Stephanie or mom, it's up to you. Now why don't we head into the dinning room, dinner is ready." She says with a smile. The five of us sit around the table and proceed to eat eat a delicious meal of of homemade eggplant Parmesan. We make small talk and continue to talk even after we have finished eating and Stephanie made Sebastian clean up. Rem must have noticed how tired I was getting when he decided it was time for us to leave.

"It was very nice meeting you Amara. And Remington don't forget, you and your brothers have an important meeting tomorrow. Don't be late." Stephanie tells us while giving us both hugs. "I won't mom." We say our final goodbyes before leaving and heading back to my house.

Once we are back at my house, I sleepily change into my pjs while Remington just strips to his boxers. We both climb into my bed and I am asleep before my head hits the pillow.

Hello all! First off I just want to say thank you for the 100 reads!! I didn't think my story would get even 10 let alone 100! Thank you so much!! And also, what would this story be without the incredible Mama Royale? That woman is just amazing! I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Final Boom show I went to and she's ever bit as nice and wonderful as her boys say she is. She is also even more beautiful in person. Gah I love her so much!!! I tried to get her as close as I could to how she is in real life. I also tried to put some more humor in this chapter and I hope I succeeded. One last thing before I go, I don't know how long it takes people to make it "official" in relationships, so I apologize if it seems a bit rushed. Don't forget to vote and comment! Let me know what you think! 😊💜
