22- Family

Ashton's POV

I've never been this scared in my life. Today is the day I meet Bella's family and from her constant warning on how cocky and annoying they are I don't think I'm going to survive this dinner.

I brushed my hair backwards as I walked into the house hand in hand with my girlfriend, Bella.

Bella opened the door and walked in, I walked in and closed the door. So far the house wasn't crowded in fact there was hardly anyone in the living room.

"Are you sure they're here?" I asked Bella. She nodded and led me to the garden behind her home. There was a crowd of people old and young, they were all chatting with one another.

My body started fidgeting again, I've never been this nervous in my life and I can't help but wonder why I'm nervous, maybe it's because I'm scared they aren't going to like me. But like always I don't give a damn about what they think of me.

"It's fine," Bella said caressing my hand. I smiled at her and kissed her cheek before walking further into the garden.

The first people we met were her cousins who were triplets. Their names are Dalia, Divinity and Danielle, they all had brown curly hair and clear blue eyes, just like Bella.

It wasn't until now I realized most people in Bella's family had brown curly hair and blue eyes while the rest had blond or black hair.

"This is my uncle Aaron and this is his wife Ester" Bella introduced. Aaron looked like he's 6ft tall and his wife was as short as Bella, they looked good together.

I smiled and stretched my hand out, but he ignored me. His wife hugged me and smiled, at least she's nice.

"Ashton you should come sit with us" Aaron said, pointing at the table where all the men sat.

"No. That won't be necessary" Bella said.

"No it's fine" I said and followed Aaron to the table. I don't want it to seem like I can't speak for myself or I'm too scared.

Immediately I arrived, everyone diverted their attention to me.

I hate attention.

"Oh.. This is Ashton, Bella's boyfriend" Bella's dad said. I sat beside the boy with straight brown hair he looked my age.

"I'm Aquila, Bella's uncle" A tall muscular man said with a smile.

I smiled at him and he hugged me, I guess he's a lot nicer than Aaron.

Another man with the same stature introduced himself as Anthony, he was also Bella's uncle he seems to be the youngest out of all her uncles.

So far her uncles weren't really bad, only Aaron didn't seem to like me the last person and the person I wanted to impress was Bella's grandfather, I hadn't really been introduced to him I had only seen him from afar and from the looks of it he seems really scary. The way he talks to his own sons scare me, his facial expression alone can leave you scared to death. I hope he'll like me.

Right now I was talking to Bella's cousin, August. He's nineteen and very fun, we actually have a lot in common. He likes basketball just like me, he also hates cats like me, he likes watching Barbie like me. I know it's weird that I watch Barbie, but the cartoon isn't that bad. Most people consider it a girl's only cartoon but the producers didn't say only girls can watch it.

"I wanna get something to eat, do you want to come?" August asked, I nodded and followed him.

We were almost at the kitchen, when I found Bella talking to a boy with blond curly hair. They were awfully close and she was laughing at whatever he was saying.

I felt this weird feeling in my chest and I suddenly wanted to rip the life out of him. I would have thought they were cousins but most of her cousins had black and brown hair.

What if it's her cousin's friend and he's trying to flirt with her?

I walked over to where they were and kissed Bella on her lips. She placed her hands on my chest and slowly pushed me away, the blond guy had already disappeared.

"What?" I asked.

"What was that?" She asked, she looked so devastated.

"I kissed you," I said.

"I know, why?" She asked. Does she not want me to kiss her?

"You don't like when I kiss you?"

"I like when you kiss me, it's just weird how you kissed me" She said.

"So you don't like when I kiss you like that?" I asked.

"What I mean is you never kiss me so suddenly and especially in front of people, so I was a little surprised," She explained.

"I didn't like seeing you laugh at the asshole's jokes" I confessed.

"We've talked about this! He's my cousin for christ sake. Wait! Were you jealous?" She asked, with an amused expression on her face.

"No I wasn't, I just didn't like how you two were so close to each other" I said.

"Admit it you are jealous" She teased.

"If you see me that close to Stella, wouldn't you be jealous?" I asked.

"Let's not change the topic here, we are talking about you" She said poking my chest. "You don't need to be jealous, Neville is my cousin. We're really close so you being jealous is unnecessary" She laughed.

I must have looked so stupid in front of him. Too bad I don't give a fuck about what he thinks of me.

"So.. How did it go with my uncles? I hope they didn't give you a hard time" She said, placing her hand on my neck.

"They aren't as bad as I expected, they are actually nice" I said, she looked relieved.

"How about my cousins?" She asked.

"They are nice," I said.

"That's a good thing" She said. I dipped my head closer to her and pinned her against the wall, I grazed her lips with my thumb. I a slight shiver escaped her mouth, I brushed my nose gently against hers and placed my left hand on her tiny waist.

I inched closer to her, she closed her eyes waiting for me to kiss her. But I never did. Instead I hugged her tightly.

"I love you" I said, pulling away from our hug. She looked really disappointed, payback for making me jealous.

"Don't you love me?" I asked.

"I love you, I just wasn't expecting you to hug me" She said.

"You don't like when I hug you?"

"I do. I-I actually wanted you to kiss me" She blurted, I laughed.

"Stop laughing!" She whined and blushed in embarrassment.

"You look cute," I said, pinching her cheeks.

She leaned closer to me and kissed me, I was a little surprised by her boldness. I smiled against her lips before we pulled away.

"I think it's time for dinner, let's go" She said, pulling me to backyard where a ginormous table that had thirty five chairs around it was situated

I noticed her grandfather sitting with her grandmother on the highest chair on the table. My heart started beating faster than it ever beat before, I might be introduced to him any moment from now. Sweat dripped from my forehead at the thought of everyone looking at me as he talks to me.

I settled on the table with Bella beside me. Everyone was captured in little conversations no one seemed to notice my appearance at the table and I'm very happy about that.

Soon the food was served by Natasha Bella's mom and everyone started eating. Halfway through the meal Mr Stonefield brings up a conversation about me.

"That's Ashton, Bella's boyfriend" Mr Stonefield said.

Immediately everyone diverts their attention towards me. My hands started to tremble and my whole entity joined in.

"Hello, I'm Lilou," Bella's grandmother waves at me.

I exhaled trying to calm myself. I guess it's now or never.
