Girl of my dreams

Unexpected guest

After my mother left I changed into new outfit because like my father said we will have guests today which means that I need to be dressed better. I can only think which spoiled idiots will come today I just hope that it will be someone who's normal and by normal I mean someone with who I can talk normally not only about money or business.

Max's POV
When I come home from work I saw my parents sitting in living room and talking something I couldn't hear what they were talking but I saw how serious they were. I could only guess that they were probably talking about new business deals because that's only reason why they are serious.

"Hey mom, dad..."

"Oh hi Max. How are you baby?" My mom asked and stood up from sofa where she was sitting and come to kiss my cheek like she always do when I come back home from work.

"I'm okay a little bit tired but I'm okay, what about you and dad? And why are both of you so serious?"

"Oh it's nothing honey we were just talking how we will go today on one dinner for some business you know?" My mom asked me. But to be honest they become so boring and annoying with that so I just stopped listening to them.

"Now go take a shower and go dress better because we're going to meet our business partners soon in their house. And you will need to behave yourself. And I also heard that they have a daughter about your age so maybe we can do about that too." My mom said and she had a weird face expression which made me confused now because I wasn't sure anymore are we going there because of their business or because they want me to have a girlfriend.

"Mom can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead."

"Why are we actually going there?"

"What do you mean Max?"

"I mean are we going there because of yours and dad's business or because you two want to find me a girlfriend?"

"To be honest love it's both. Right now more about our business but why not take a chance for a good relationship with a rich girl and no like your last one."

"Okay whatever mom. I will go take a shower now." Few hours later Portman family was on their way to Rivera house. When they come they ringed a bell and heard sound of footsteps behind the door.

"Welcome you must be Portman's I'm Bill Rivera. It's nice to finally meet you." Nicole's father said.

"Come inside make yourself like you're at your house. My wife will call us when everything is ready and I will go upstairs to call my daughter. Excuse me for a moment." Nicole's father said and went upstairs to call Nicole out. When he was upstairs he knocked on Nicole's door.

"Yes, who's it?"

"It's me honey guests are hire come downstairs please."

"Okay I'm gonna be soon down." I said and my father went downstairs. So did I after him, when I come downstairs I saw a small family but something was weird there. When I come closer to them I freeze, there was standing Max the guy which I saw today in the caffé with Amy.

Nicole's POV
I'm in a big trouble now... This isn't good at all. Why out of all people and families he needs to be here? Ugh God what did I do to you to punish me like this?

"Nicole don't be rude to our guests. Go and introduce yourself, you aren't baby anymore who needs to be introduced by your daddy." My father said and tried to be funny and make a joke, so I fake laughed just to hide how angry and embarrassed I was.

"Hi... Am well I'm Nicole Rivera I'm 18 years old and well that would be all I guess and it's nice to meet you." I said and tried not too watch in those green eyes which burned my skin and which looked me from head to toe again.

"Well it's nice to meet you Nicole. I'm miss Abby Portman, this is my husband Nick and this is our son Max." Women said and I just politely smiled.

"Nicole why don't you take Max upstairs while we discuss about business and stuff?" My dad asked me even though I knew that this isn't about business but about putting me with him.

"Sure father." I said and we both went upstairs to my room.

"Woow this looks like sign." Max said and laughed.

"Sign of what that my parents went crazy?"

"No sign that you and me are mean to be."

"Oh yes. Sure in your dreams maybe Max."

"Hey what's your problem?" He asked annoyed.

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you so cold and actually rude now. In the Caffè you seemed to be so much different?"

"I'm sorry Max I didn't mean to. I had fight with my parents some hours ago and I started day badly and yes I'm really sorry."

"So your parents choose who will you date and all other shit?"

"Sadly but yes. How did you know that?" I asked him confused.

"Because believe me or not my parents are the same about that."

"Really?"

"Yes. Really and I'm sorry about that I know how you feel when you have parents like ours and when you need to listen to everything what they say. But look you aren't alone in this okay? You have me. Sure it's too early to open up to a stranger but I will be always here for you." After he said that I realised that we were really close to each other and that he was holding both of my hands. His face was coming closer to mine but then I moved and looked away embarrassed from him and watch on the floor.

"I'm sorry Nicole I didn't mean to..." He tried to explain himself but I cut him off.

"It's fine no worries but I can't I'm sorry."

"No no it's okay I shouldn't do that. Look I'm here I will be your friend and you can tell me everything okay? We can go baby steps. Whatever you need I'm here okay?" He said and in his voice I finally could hear truth and someone who might really care about how I feel.

"Thank you so much Max this really means a lot to me." I said happy and hugged him tight.
