My seductive billionaire

XIV. Family Madness

Beautiful blue eyes stared at me, I felt like my cheeks were going to explode... At that moment, I fixed my eyes everywhere.

I think that for Nathaniel and me, it is impossible to avoid feeling that attraction and that kind of need we had for each other, I could even say that it was almost impossible to fall into temptation.

At the head there are some balloons of different colors, which I imagine are lights for the night, a big table with different snacks, the ones I could see at a glance were: cupcakes, split coconuts, chopped fruits. In front of this table there was a blanket and on this a small table with a beautiful flower arrangement, a bottle ofa Rose Ice Edition Jp chenet x Sparkling Wine and two glasses to serve the wine.

"Come on, let's sit down." Nathaniel takes my hand and leads me to the sheet lying on the floor.

Before we sit down, we take off our shoes and sit facing each other.

"Do you want wine?" he asked me nervously, causing a smile to appear on my face, he looked so nervous that it even made me feel tender.

"Yes, please, Mr. O'Donel."

"I've never done this before in my life, I don't know what I should do or what's next... I should make a list of things and a schedule of things," he murmurs restlessly looking all over the place.

"Nath, relax... everything is perfect, you don't have to control everything," I tell him in a calm tone, taking him by the hand.

Nathaniel pours the wine into the glasses.

"Let's drink to today, to this new before and after in our lives."

Nathaniel and I clink our glasses together as I smile sideways, and take a small sip of our drink, Nathaniel looks at me nervously, he hasn't uttered a word... he just looks at me as he takes my hand.

"I can't believe we're on a date, I've never been on one... I feel like a pubescent teenager."

At that, I laugh and a few minutes later a girl arrives”, Good afternoon Mr. O'Donel, Miss Daniell, can I offer you something from the table, or do you want the main course? “The girl asks us with a big smile and a lot of kindness.”

"I would like the main course first and then something from the table for dessert," I say to the girl who kindly nods.

"For me too."

The girl left and a few minutes later returned with a plate of spaghetti bolognese.

"Thank you," we thanked the girl in unison as we had the plates in front of us.

"Let's drink to us, to us." I nodded, taking a glass and clinking it with hers.

We continued eating while we talked a bit and when we finished the main course I started to taste the delicious sweets on the table. I think I would come out of here with a good diabetes. In one hand I had a chocolate and coconut cup cake, in the other I had red fruit juice.

It was at that moment, when surprisingly a song started to play: Falling in love.

"Little girl, shall we dance?" I nodded, leaving my delicious desserts on the side of the table, wiped myself with a napkin and then took Nathaniel's hand.

My hands rest behind the back of Nathaniel's neck, and his hands rest on my hips. Nathaniel brings his lips to mine and kisses me.

It's such a sweet kiss, so sentimental that I feel my heart beating fast... right now I felt like I was in some kind of dream in which I didn't want to wake up for anything in the world.

"I feel so happy to have you here by my side, you don't know how much," Nathaniel murmurs in my ear causing my skin to bristle.

"Me too, I'm more than surprised."

The song ends, Nathaniel takes my hand... and fireworks start to appear in the sky, I would say it could have been a coincidence, but thanks to some drones my name seemed to be written in the sky.

My eyes fill with tears because of so much impression and I turn to look at Nathaniel who stares at me studying each one of my expressions.

"Oh my God Nath, this is beautiful!"

It is at that moment when Nathaniel shakily reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box.

It can't be.

"For a long time I tried to deny what I felt, I tried to deny that I liked you so much and how much you made me happy. This is not an engagement ring, but a promise ring... where if you accept, I promise to be faithful to you, to love and respect you at all times. To cry with you and support you when I need it... to lend you my two shoulders to cry on, to make you laugh and to make you happy at all times. I didn't think that having accepted all this would change my life, sometimes what happens by chance makes us happier than what we are looking for."

Nathaniel is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time, I promise to be faithful to you Nath, to love you, to support you and to fight so that our demons don't separate us.

"I also promise to be faithful to you Nath, to love you, to support you and to fight so that our demons don't separate us," I press my lips together so as not to cry inconsolably, "I promise to be there for you, even if you don't even want to see me, I promise to do everything in my power to make us happy."

Without being able to avoid it, I kissed Nathaniel delicately, desiring us more than ever and being more and more in anticipation of our future. Our lips moved frantically and danced perfectly. Minutes later Nathaniel and I, put the promise ring on our ring finger, they were exactly the same, it was only the difference in size. The ring was made of gold and small diamond stones around it.

"When will I meet your family?" I asked.

How about next Monday, my sister-in-law is having a birthday party/meeting with everyone?

"I think it's perfect," I answer smiling, "and how about meeting mine tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, we're having a dinner for Catherine's return from her honeymoon."

"Send me all the details and I'll do my best to be there," Nathaniel kisses my nose softly and hugs me as we continue to watch as the fireworks still light up the sky.

After tying my shoelaces on a ladder, I kept running to release energy and try to get my mind off the fact that today I would have that meeting with my siblings, my parents and my brother-in-law where I would introduce them to Nathaniel had my hair standing on end.

It wasn't that I didn't want to introduce them to my new boyfriend... my God, I can't believe Nathaniel is my boyfriend. I was so nervous about what they were going to say or believe, especially my father, who always had his satire and his desire to make me feel bad and belittled was not lacking.

This morning I had talked to my sisters to find out if everyone was going and thank goodness everyone was. After an hour of running around a park, I decided I'd better take a bath and go to a beauty salon to get my curls done.

Nathaniel, even though I had told him that I didn't want the money back to my account, he did, he gave me back everything, absolutely everything and even more, with the excuse that «everything of his was mine».

To tell the truth, I didn't know how to feel, on one hand, my mom had no need to have to fill my fridge and pay for my college… I decided better to invest that money in my last semesters, so they were already more than paid.

When I got home I took a quick bath in the shower so I wouldn't take too long, and then I headed to the beauty salon to get my hair done, my nails done and my make-up done.

***

I looked in the mirror more than nervous while a girl finished fixing my hair, my makeup was in earth tones with a little light on the mobile eyelid, my lips had a nude color. My clothes were a knee length dress with snakeskin print, Prada heels and some accessories on my wrists. At that moment my eyes were fixed on the beautiful ring, I couldn't believe what had happened, it all seemed like some kind of surreal dream, I loved everything that was happening to me.

"You're more than ready Miss Daniell," the girl says passing a makeup brush on my nose.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," she replied helping me out of my chair and leading me to the exit while she carried my purse in her hand.

"I can keep my purse in my hand," I said a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry miss, it's with pleasure, besides she just had her nails done.

I nodded leaving the store and then finally took my bag and said goodbye to that girl and sent a message to Nath that I was ready, since he had offered to take me to my parents.

«I can't wait to see you.»

Just reading that made my heart freeze and I wanted to explode with excitement.

A few minutes later, another car very different from Nathaniel's appeared in front of me.

"Hello little one, you look really beautiful." Nath says to me, rolling down the tinted windows of the back of the van he was in.

A slightly older man, who I suspect was the driver, got out of the car and opened the door for me.

“Thank you," I thanked him kindly, sitting down next to Nathaniel.

“You look very handsome too," I think I would never get used to seeing Nathaniel in his formal and elegant suit, "Will I ever get to see you in casual clothes?” I asked amused.

“Maeve Daniell, what am I going to do with you little girl?” Nathaniel said without further ado, grabbing my nose with two fingers, "What's the point if you can see me naked?”

“Nath! The driver can hear us," I answered blushing.

Without further ado he kissed me, it seemed like an eternity ago when I kissed his lips, they felt sweet and I didn't care if my lipstick ran or if I stopped wearing it. My new problem was my addiction to this hot man's kisses.

A few minutes later we arrived at my parents' house. A beautiful mansion on the outskirts of another wealthy neighborhood in Los Angeles, fifteen minutes from my house.

As I got out of the car, my legs were shaking and even more so, from seeing my brothers' cars parked outside the house.

"Shit..."

"Don't worry little one, everything will be fine." Nathaniel encourages me, intertwining our hands and then bringing mine to his lips and kissing the back of it.

We started walking to the entrance of the house, I just didn't expect my father not to humiliate me and my brother not to threaten Nathaniel. When we were in front of the door we knocked and a few seconds later the door opened.

"Miss Daniell? is that you? How beautiful you are Miss, with all due respect," Julie, the housekeeper, who watched me grow up, said cheerfully.

"July!" I greeted her with a warm hug.

"And who is that handsome young man?"

"My boyfriend, Nathaniel O'Donel, Nath, this is Julie Park, the housekeeper at my parents' house."

"It's a pleasure, Mrs. Park," Nath says kindly, shaking Julie's hands.

"The pleasure is mine, come in, your siblings and your parents are waiting for you."

And at that moment I felt the real terror.

I walked towards the big dining room looking at the floor while I had Nathaniel holding my hand to give me moral support.

When I arrived there was a big noise until they turned to see me and when they saw who I was with, there was a dead silence.

"Hello everyone." I stammered nervously and then cleared my throat, "This is my boyfriend, Nathaniel O'Donel."

My mother put her hand to her chest, my sister Catherine looked at me without giving me credit, my brother Enrique looked like a fool as if he was staring into space and my sister looked at me making a perfect circle with her lips.

"So, for lack of money now you're messing around with people who aren't even at your level," my father muttered annoyed as he took a sip of his drink, "I was just as much of a b***h as your mother."

"What the f**k is wrong with you, Dad?! Leave Maeve alone. What's wrong with her?" My brother came to my defense, hitting the table, "Don't you get tired of treating people badly? you're disgusting."

"That's enough." My sister shouted, "Sit down."

And so we did.

"Love, meet my mother Mackenzie Daniell, my father Liam Daniell. My sister Catherine and her husband Jeremy, Monica, Anastasia and my brother Enrique." I told him, although I doubted very much that he didn't know who they were, after having done some research on me.

"It's a pleasure."

"I hope you don't hurt my sister, I won't hesitate for a second to smash your face in, did you hear me?" And as I expected, my brother started with his threats, "You can be my billionaire and all you want, but I'm a black belt in karate."

"You don't have to worry, the last thing I want is to hurt Maeve." Nathaniel answered, taking my hand from under the table as he looked at me.

"Brother-in-law!" shouted Jeremy happily, "do you have time to talk business, I have an excellent idea?"

"Jeremy, leave Mr. O'Donel alone," my mother reprimanded him, "We are very happy to have him here, if I had known I would have done something even more special."

"Oh, don't worry, ma'am."

Minutes later dinner arrived, which at times formed uncomfortable silences.

"Sister, will you accompany me to the bathroom?" Moni asked, looking at me.

"Of course. I'll be right back love." I said to Nath who nodded taking a sip of wine.

Although I knew that what she wanted was for me to tell her about Nathaniel.

I followed her into the bathroom until we were far away from the dining room.

“Sis, you're such a b***h!” My sister says to me amused while I laugh, "Wow! You are eating such a man, no wonder your eyes are shining, I wouldn't be surprised if someday you won't be able to walk.”

“Moni, what are you talking about?” I said slapping her arm, if something s****l doesn't come out of Moni's mouth, that's not Monica.

“Wow sister! What's with that ring?” My sister Ana asked me, coming into the room where we were holding my hand, "Did he ask you to marry him?

“No, not at all, it's a promise ring...”

“Should the three of us go out together?”proposes Moni.

“What about Catherine?” I asked her.

“Oh no, she's married brunette, can't you see she got all bored, I hope Jeremy has a delicious c**k because my sister looks like she's bewitched or dumb by that man," Moni says in an amused tone.

“I thought I was the only one who had noticed, when she just arrived I said: «Cath, do you want to go to dinner with me?» And you know what she said: «I can't, I have to be home to be with my husband for dinner»” comments Ana.

“You guys are the worst! You make me imagine weird things.”

“Maeve, as your older sisters we have to ask you... Are you having s*x with Nathaniel?”

“Yes," I replied with a blush.

“And are you protecting yourself?” Ana asked me this time.

“Yes.”

“Then enjoy, we have to have a party to teach Maeve techniques so that Nathaniel will be enchanted with Maeve," Ana suggested to Moni.

"That's an excellent idea, sister!” Moni answered her.

“Stop the nonsense," we jumped with fright when we heard Enrique's voice.

“Let us know when you come, you almost scared us to death," I say angrily to Enrique.

“Yes, yes. As you say.” Enrique says taking my cheeks and squeezing them tightly.

“Enough!”

"When something happens with that man, promise me you'll call me... I'll go wherever I can to beat him." Enrique tells me, taking my face with his two hands and lifting it so I can look at him.

"Okay, I promise."

"Well, where were we?" Ana continues.

This is going to be a long night.
