Lost Love

Chapter 48

We were finally on the way to his parents' house. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I think he noticed it because he was drawing circles on my palms which was comforting still I couldn't help becoming a nervous wreck. His parents sent in a driver to pick us up from the airport.
My stomach was in a bundle of knots by the time he announced that we were almost there.
We pulled up into a really large compound filled with trees and flowers. Everywhere was neat and looking so lovely. Soon the car stopped and the driver went down to get our luggage.
As I was about to get off, Micheal held me back. I peered at him waiting for him to speak.
"My princess you know I love you right?" I nodded my head as a sign for him to continue
"And you know I want to spend the rest of my life with you" I also nodded at that
He kissed my head and continued;
"You should know that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. My parents already love you and honestly what's in you not to love-
I chuckled at that statement and he fake glared at me to stop the interruption. I tried to keep a straight face as he started up again
"You are beautiful, loving, caring and passionate about everything you do. I'm yet to see a woman like you and I don't think I ever want to because you have my heart already and I want you- no scratch that, I need you to keep it with you forever. I love everything about you and no one not even my parents- which I doubt would stop me from loving you alright. I just want to know this"
Why I'm always in tears after his love speeches I can't ever fathom for the life of me but I guess it's because of the way his love for me shines in his eyes and reflects through his words. I can't believe this man is all mine.
I hugged him and whispered through my tears that I loved him.
When we were done with our little moment we got out of the car and proceeded to the door. Before we could even open it up, the door swang open and I was met with a young woman with shoulder length auburn hair. Looking at her she would be around a 5'6 and she was dressed in a pretty summer dress and heels. Her blue eyes sparkled as they met my gaze and she pulled me in for a warm bear hug. I settled into the hug and I heard Micheal laughing behind me.
"Mom don't smother her with your hugs before she even has a chance to have your grandkids"
Mom???
She looked so young to be a mom and she is so pretty. She doesn't even look a day older than 20
Both of them started laughing again and I realized that I said that out loud.
With my face turning red I disentangled myself from the hug and looked at her guiltily.
"Don't worry dear I hear that a lot. It must be the love I'm surrounded with that keeps me this young and I think you are really pretty too" she waved off still smiling.
She went towards Micheal and hugged him too kissing him all over his face. His red face showed his embarrassment.
"Mum that's enough; I'm not a kid anymore"
"You don't seem to mind anytime you come home and I do that or is it because you have a wife now" she said laughing
A deep voice came from inside the house;
"Is your mum still attacking you with kisses?" It sounded amused
"Yes dad, she just won't stop. It would be helpful if you could keep your wife away from the door anytime I'm visiting"
At that another figure came to the door chuckling and his mum slapped him on the head for uttering that statement I suppose.
I laughed at the family moment I was experiencing and I suddenly became nostalgic.
As the door opened wider and we were going in, his mum entwined her hands with mine and whispered not so quietly to me;
"He loves those kisses and can't do without them"
"Ma I heard that you know"
"You were supposed to"
"Now Livia don't steal our princess away before I've even gotten the chance to meet her" the deep voice said and I turned to the voice.
He looked just like Michael; the hair, the face, the looks, everything. You can easily mistake Micheal to be his twin brother just that his father had more manly features.
Just as he was about to pull me in for a hug, I heard Micheal grumbling behind me;
"Dad, she's my princess not yours. You should find another name for her"
Everyone started laughing and his dad raised his hands up in surrender.
"Alright alright I've heard you but you can't blame me for that when all I hear when you call us is your princess this and your princess that"
He hugged me and pecked me on the cheek before letting me go.
Wow his family members are something
We all moved to the living room since Mrs Stewart- oops Olivia or preferably mum as she said I should call her said our things had already been taken care of.
"Mum where's- Micheal got cut off when we heard the pitter patter of feet running down the staircase
"Mickey Mickey" a small girl shouted while jumping into the laps of Micheal
I couldn't hold myself when I heard the nickname. It was just too cute.
Micheal was holding the little girl while she stretched her little hands around his neck
"...I missed you Mickey" her voice was really tiny and baby like but she was adorable
"I missed you too pumpkin"
"Where is your princess Mickey? Mamma said you have a princess. Is she pwetty like me?"
"She is absolutely beautiful pumpkin just like you" he replied smiling
"I want to see her" the little girl said bouncing on his legs and clapping her hands at the same time
He turned to look at me and she followed his gaze. When she saw me she looked at me for a while before her eyes widened.
She scrambled out of her brother's laps and landed straight into my own as we were sitting side by side.
"Mickey she looks like my princess"
"And what princess is that pumpkin?"
She jumped down again and ran upstairs, within few moments she came downstairs with a toy. I recognised it as Princess Jasmine from Aladdin.
Everyone around was laughing. She stretched out her hands motioning for me to carry her again and I did setting her down on my laps.
"Well pumpkin my princess must be very pretty then"
She nodded her head and started playing with the pendant I was wearing.
Soon enough we had to eat and since I was extremely tired I went straight up to the room to prepare for bed.
Micheal came up later when I just changed into my PJs.
Deciding to tease him a bit I said;
"Mickey your family is wonderful"
He stared at me before wrinkling his face in distaste.
"Don't call me that princess"
"Why not Mickey?" I chuckled as he came closer to me
"Because.....
"Well because what?"
"Because I'm not a baby anymore" he replied as he carried me and spun me around in his arms.
I was squealing and I think everyone in the house could hear the sound.
Soon enough he dropped me on the bed and I helped him undress (I know what you guys are thinking and that's bad- snap out of it...nothing is gonna happen😁)
"But your family is really nice and so together" I said after a moment of silence. We were on the bed with my head on his chest, his fingers running through my hair.
"Charlie they are your family too. I don't want you to think bad thoughts throughout our stay here. They all love you even little Makayla. Don't worry about anything and I really don't want you to be moody throughout. Your dad won't want you this way and even though I haven't met your mum I'm sure she's happy about you meeting my family. Cheer up princess"
"I love you Mickey"
"I love you too princess"
And with that I slept off on his chest, his heart beat luring me into the secret chambers of everlasting sleep.

I think this is my longest chapter yet. Scratch that everlasting sleep but honestly that's how I feel about sleep. There's something so alluring and exciting about it. Geez I must sound like someone who's high on something right now but oh well sleep is the perfect gift from God...any art student who remembers that poem about rest being something like a gift- can't really remember how it goes now but that's that.
So my plan was to make this chapter really interesting and fun and lively. I imagined how I play with my sister and mum at times and I was like I should include that and then I wanted Michael's family to be one that I want to marry into...yes guys a girl can dream
Like can you imagine getting married into a family like this; that's heaven
Nobody wants a grumpy mother-in-law especially me.
Anyways there you have it.... enjoy lovelies
