03 - Chapter Three - Emerald Victorians Point Of View.
I was rushing around worried about what I was going to wear to dinner,
Lucca went through my closet with me and he grabbed my dark brown
long sleeve shirt and my tan scarf and white skinny jeans and I put
them on, gosh he's a genius. It was ten to six when he asked if I was
ready to go. I grabbed my car key and walked to my car and he took
my keys just as I was about to unlock the car. He snatched my keys and
smiled at me with that perfect white and toothy grin.
"I'm driving "
"Okay," I said as he pulled me with him closing my garage and that
when I noticed the shiny fucking sports car on the curbside, I really
didn't even see the damn thing before then, but I was pretty sure all my
neighbours had.
"How did I not see that car there before?"
You weren't looking for it, I told myself. He opened my door and
buckled me in and got around to his side and started the car, it purred
to life and I was instantly in love with this car. we arrived at his house at
the same time my parents did. Lucca led us inside his arm around my
waist, he showed us a lot of things before a familiar voice yelled for
him. I knew this voice as the one that called me names just earlier. I
found myself smiling at Lucca who walked to the kitchen, pulling me
right behind him.
âIs your mate and his family here my darling son? I'm so very excited for
him and his family.â
âYes mama, They are here, English please, for them.â
âGood good, I've been waiting all day to say I'm sorry, I really blew it
earlier when I called him names.â
Lucca looked at me and spoke " My birth father is Spanish, he cooks,
Hench the reason he has invited you for dinner, he wishes to say he's
sorryâ
"He spoke perfect English this morning when he called me a prostitute,â
I said laughing.
âIndeed he did,â Lucca said his gaze flicking purple again.
"I thought he was Spanish?"
"He is, but he does speak Englishâ
"Ohh"
es
Lucca walked into a large kitchen area dragging me behind him, both
his fathers were there. They both smiled and I watched as Luccaâs birth
father blushed and looked back at the stove.
"Please come sit?" Luccaâs dad said pointing to the table he was sitting
at. My parents went to the table and they began to have a conversation
about themselves and other things.
"It's lovely to see you again,â Lucca's birth father said
"Indeed it is, all though I wish we could I met differentlyâ I stated
"Yes agreed, You will have to forgive me for my outburst this morning
Lucca is careless and has got bad press coverage over prostitutes and I
jumped to conclusions because I want him to be proper with his mate,
and I never realized you were his mate because he said nothing.â
"It's alright if my child was the same way I would have done the same
thing"
"Yes, My name is Castel My husband's name is Archer, "
âI'm Emerald and my parents are, Layla and Nickolas *
"It's a pleasure to meet you all,â Castel said, waving.
Lucca began to play with my hair,
"You should let your hair grow longer, you could look wonderful.â I
touched my fringe hair cut, did he really not like my hair, or was he
teasing me. I began to bite my lip in frustration, was I ugly to him?
"Emerald, did I say something wrong? you look deep in thought and
your lip is bleeding,â Lucca said his eye locked on my face.
I touched my lip and pulled my hand away, I was bleeding.
"Are you alright, here let me have a look" Castel said as he grabbed my
chin lightly, Lucca's mama was only a few inches taller than me and
slightly more built. Castel asked for something in Spanish and Lucca
went to go get it for him. Lucca comes back with some kind of small
container. it contained a healing ointment made of Calendula.
Lucca took a little on his finger after he opened the jar and rubbed it on
my lip. I tried to calm myself because hell this could turn into sex in
about 10 seconds flat. His eye flashed purple and he was about to make
this sex but his mama cracked him on the head with a wooden spoon.
âBehave, Lucca, Dammit! You are in a kitchen save those special
moments for behind tight doors, do you understand son. My kitchen
area is not a porn scene and it will never be a porn scene.â
âYes mom, but he is my mate and I will take him wherever with his
permissionâ
âYou are definitely just like your father Lucca, You have no shame son of
mine"
Moments later we were all sitting around the table putting food on our
plates, Lucca was sat beside me his left hand resting on my thigh, I
would catch his parents, his mother mostly shooting him the don't you
dare have sex in my dining room look. he would just smile so sweetly
back to them,
"So Emerald what do you do?" Archer asked.
I wiped my mouth with the napkin and spoke " I am a doctor, I work at
a clinic that delivers babies at the moment though sir *
"That is how you met Lucca?"
"Yes, that's how I actually met Lucca, all though he still hasn't told me
quite why he showed up at a clinic made for delivering babies."
"Well, what is your reason for that Lucca?â
"Would you excuse me, this is not at all talk for the dinner table and I
have lost my appetiteâ he walked away from the table in a hurry.
"Lucca wait"
He did not slow down or even stop, he just kept going, he was ignoring
me. I hated to be ignored by anyone, but it hurt to be ignored by my
mate, my everything. He was not about to do this was he actually? He
was supposed to be a grown man, here he was acting like a small boy
or at best a teenager who didn't get their own way.
