ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Chapter 24

Fenna

The drive to Nolan's mansion ain't long. Lucien is on the wheel with Amir at the passenger seat.

Nolan and I take the back seat together with Ralph.

I'm freaking out already. I've never been in a company of cops leave alone some who carry guns. I feel like I'm in military camp!

Nolan notices my nervousness and he does the only thing which can make me relieved. He snakes an arm over my shoulder and rubs my neck softly.

However, he doesn't say anything.
I lean back on the seat and let my mind wander into a million thoughts.

I can't help but wonder how he has managed to hide such information from me and we've been together for over three weeks. It feels like I've known him for ever. He makes my life complete.

“Babe, we're home!”

I snap from my reverie.

The door is wide open and Ralph is holding it for us. I rub my eyes continuously to enable me to see the sight before me well.

I step down as Nolan follows behind.

My mind is agape in awe. I thought I had seen it all....
His parents' house is like a castle but Nolan's house is more of a palace than a mansion.

I'm fixed at the spot, my legs too heavy to move. I think I'll Falk anytime.

I can hear Nolan chuckling beside me. If he weren't holding my hand, I'd have fallen.

His cars are parked in a garage like parking. I can make out several modes but the cutest of all is the Mahindra XUV300.

I can make out a Lamborghini amongst them and an Audi too.

“Lets get inside honey!”

He says as he leads me towards the huge house.

Fenna...you've seen it all in life!

He gently makes me sit on one of the couches in the vast living room whose decor is out of this world.

I trail my fingers on the cosy leather couch and I can't help but marvel at their texture. They're seemingly soft and I suddenly fall in love with them.

“Love that?”

Nolan's voice startles me. He has been seated beside me all along but I hardly noticed him.

My heart is doing some summersaults. I think I'll move in with him...he doesn't need to ask anymore!

“Mmmmh. Yeah. They're cute!”
I manage to murmur.

“Good afternoon sir, good afternoon ma'am.....welcome home.”

A middle aged lady is standing in front of us, looking all respectful and humble.

“Good afternoon Leah! How have you been?”

“I'm fine sir. Lunch is served sir.”

The respect she accords Nolan is out of this world.

She seems humble and down to earth. I hope we'll get along well.

“Okay dear. We'll be at the dining table. Meet Fenna, my girlfriend...Fenna, meet Leah, my cook and household manager!”

Great! I love how he has introduced her. It's obvious that he respects her too.

“Welcome ma'am. Feel at home!”

“Thank you Leah....”

Nolan helps me on my feet and leads me to the huge and round dining table. He pulls a chair for me and makes me sit, as he pulls his and sits next to me, not letting go of my hand.
