"Babe, please get dressed", he was being stubborn as usual as I knew he didn't want to go. I knew he had been dreading it and whenever I had brought it up he'd change the conversation. Over the weekend we had stayed in and ordered in while lying in bed together and just enjoying each other's companionship.
"Can't we stay home, please", he begged me as I went to his closet and grabbed him a Polo shirt and grey pants.
"Please, for me and your sister get dressed, don't forget your mom is going to be there, you know how she loves us to be on time", I walked into my side of the closet as I heard a "shit" from under his breath and I heard him rush to the bathroom.
"Leave the bathroom open I have to do my makeup", I said as I heard laughing from the bathroom, I searched for something that matched the slightest bit and I found a matching set with a shirt being a crop top, with high waisted pants, it matched the grey from his pants.
I grabbed my makeup bag as I walked into the bathroom and searched for Nolan. He was nowhere to be found, he better not be playing hide and seek with me.
"Babe, you better be ready in 20 minutes", I screamed at the top of my lungs, as I put on my foundation.
"Oh I'll definitely be ready in 20 minutes", a voice came from the shower as I recognized his low but smooth undertone. I didn't look over as I turned to the side and finished completing my makeup.
"What are you doing?", I asked as I couldn't believe this foolishness he was planning on doing.
"Waiting for you to kiss me", he said as he had made another thing about a joke. He needed to get ready, but he was just too stubborn to do so.
"I'm not going to kiss you, not when your pulling stunts like this, please get ready", I begged him as I turned around not amused by his little ruse, my eyes fixed completely on his face.
"Fine, I will kiss you, because I love you and you need to get ready", I said as he put his towel on and made his way over to me. He kissed me lightly.
"I'm sorry", he whispered as I kissed his lips letting him know it's alright, he was just being protective of his sister's heart and I respected that.
I finished up my makeup and grabbed us both shoes, I grabbed myself a pair of sandals and him some dress shoes with socks.
He was already downstairs as I made my down the stairs and I saw him flipping through the vinyl, he had.
He saw me coming down the stairs and slipped on his dress shoes and as he finished he kissed my hand.
"Would you like to dance", he asked me as I took his hand as we swayed to the music together as he twirled me and I ended up on the couch, Nolan came to pick me back up, but I pulled him down with me. I flipped over and straddled him as I felt totally innocent doing this until I realized where I was, he held my hips at that moment as I tried to slip away. He kissed me intensely never letting go of my lips, that wanted all of his attention.
"Okay now we have to go", I said eyeing the clock as I grabbed my purse and he grabbed his keys and wallet, he interlocked his hand around me as I felt loved and protected.
"Can I drive", I said as we went down in the elevator, and exited the elevator door at the garage. Nolan brought out his keys as he honked the horn and there was a beautiful Bugatti and I wanted it.
"This is my baby", he said as we walked closer to it inspecting its every angle.
"I thought I was your baby", I whined as he hugged me tighter and he kissed my forehead, he opened the door as I slid in and checked out the interior, while Nolan slid in the driver seat.
Along the ride, we settled out music taste and I told him to be nice, otherwise no fruit and champagne.
"And we're here", Avery's building was tall and upscale very large. He parked the car and we just waited a couple of seconds before he got out of the car and so did I. He held my hand when we reconnected and started heading towards the building.
He opened the door for me as we entered the lobby, which was very empty, we walked up to the front desk, in front of the elevator.
"Hello, Mr. Clementé, right this way", the bellman opened the elevator for us and we got in as it rode all the way up to the 24th floor.
"How did he know your name", I whispered to Nolan as the elevator rode up and he was still holding onto my hand nervously.
"Darling, I own this building", he said as he kissed my head and the elevator pinged as it was opened up to a door, we ringed the bell as she opened it and let us inside.
"Hey come on in", Avery gestured us in as he held my hand tightly and then it became tighter as Cole turned the corner and I could feel the blazes of heat coming from Nolan's eyes.
Nolan hugged Avery, as he kept his eye on Cole, who was lurking in the background. Avery hugged me next as I began to look around the place, it was very simplistic with white couches and wood floors.
"So, what do you think?", she asked as she fanned her arm through the place.
"Avery, it's amazing, you really must do Nolan's place it's feeling too bachelor pad", she laughed as Nolan shook his head, his eyes still fixated on Cole, who was busy setting the table.
"So how come your boyfriend wasn't there yesterday?", Nolan asked as he made his way to the seating area as he sat right next to me and put his arm around my figure.
"Well, he doesn't really like the social events and besides he wanted to meet mom and dad at a more reserved place, instead of all of our friends and families meeting him at once", she explained, as I fully understood, unfortunately, that had happened to me as we had met at our own wedding.
"Well, then he really will have a hard time in this family, that's all we're about", Nolan said as Avery looked at him with disbelief and so did I, he said he would be nice and I figured that he had lost it.
"I'm going to set the table", she said as a tear slipped from her eye, and I knew she left to let me rearrange his behavior and I had planned on doing more than that. I grabbed his arm as I pulled him to the balcony.
"What the hell is wrong with you?", I asked as I shut the door behind him and I. He looked at me with mockery and honestly it was silly to ever think I could change his opinion about this matter.
"Just having a little fun", he said as he leaned against the wall of the glass and he looked as if he didn't care about his sisters' feelings nonetheless.
"You can't come in her home, and tell her off like this, you promised you were going to be nice, I get it you feel a certain way about him, but please just keep it to yourself and suck it up. That's all I'm asking, I'm not telling you to be besties with him but I'm asking that you show him and your sister some decency, your approval matters to her, but at this point, you've already shown how you feel, you broke my promise too", I said as I looked over the balcony, he had promised me that he was going to try and he had hurt his sister in the process.
"I'm sorry, okay I just can't deal with the fact of seeing her hurt, but I'm sorry that I disappointed you and I'll be decent towards him", he turned me around and held my hands in a loving way as I knew I wasn't the one who needed an apology, but Avery did.
"I'm not the one who needs an apology, she does", I pointed to Avery as she sat on the couch through the transparent glass and he nodded as he kissed my hand and made his way inside. I followed as we broke apart and I went into the kitchen to help set up with a nervous Cole, next to me.
Avery and Nolan went out to the balcony in hopes of coming back, with all anger set aside.
"Need any help", I asked as he fumbled with the spoons as it fell on the ground and I rushed to get a new one.
"Thanks", he said as he took it and placed it perfectly next to the knife. He was nervous, by meeting the family and I could tell that he just needed some reassurance.
"I was nervous too, but then again that was my wedding day, anyway don't be nervous they will love you", I reassured him as he nodded his head and thanked me as I heard laughing from the balcony and figured that they had worked everything out.
I made my way on the balcony as Nolan motioned me to come to sit on his lap, something we hadn't done before.
"In the history of my brother, he's never apologized for anything, gosh he is whipped", she asked me as he hugged me tightly as I looked back at his smitten face.
"Whipped, I'm not", he said as he held me tightly and he kissed my hair as I leaned back into him.
"I'm just in love and she's just mine and she has just changed me for the better", he sounded whipped and he was,but so was I.
The door bell ringed surprising the both of us and Avery looked nervous as ever, waiting for her mother and father to interrogate the man she really liked.
She ran to answer it as Nolan and I made our way inside, as we hovered knowing that it was Cole and Avery's time to be shown off.
"Your definitely whipped", I whispered as he laughed a bit, and I kissed his cheek, and he kissed me back on my forehead.
"Natalieeeee", a little bundle of joy squealed as she pushed past her parents and her sister and new beau to run into my legs. I picked her up, as she demanded it.
"Leah, how are you princess", I hugged her as she played with my little hairs and kissed my forehead in a loving way.
"I'm great", she hugged me as she didn't let go for a while. Everyone else had already had gotten aquatinted and Leah finally jumped to Nolan, as they began to talk to each other, I just admired him, he was so sweet to her, I could only imagine how good he would be with his own kids, maybe I should get to the process first.
"Brunch, or I guess lunch is ready", she looked at the time as I could tell she was nervous and she tried to seem put together as Clay and Nolan stayed very close to Cole, who seemed quite nervous, as the table was where all the interrogations happened.
"Here, I'll help you serve everything", I could tell Avery was nervous, and I knew why she was nervous her dad saw her as his little girl and I wish my dad thought of me that way, and so Clay would do anything and everything to protect his daughter, including interrogating her boyfriend. I made my way as everyone else sat down.
"I'm so nervous, my dad he had that look, did you see the look", she paced around the island as I tried to calm her down, but she was very well set on how this day would go, without any speculation.
"Okay, you're nervous I get it, but your dad may be nice, and when he gets through the questions like what are your intentions and all that, he may ease up, but we need you hear to see that moment, so let's go out there and show your parents what a great guy he is", I said as she looked me in the eye and nodded as she thanked me and we took the food out 2 dishes by one and set it on the table.
We both took a seat, at the circular table and I sat next to Nolan and Leah.
"So Cole, tell us about yourself?", Clay asked as he served food for Leah. You could tell Clay had felt nervous about today too. Cole, loosens his black tie and takes a deep breath before the questions begin to float to the front of Clay's mind.
"Well, I'm a software engineer and I'm originally from Ashford Seattle, and well I like your daughter very much and I guess that's it", he said abruptly as I could tell that Clay had his mind running from his heart, he could see that Cole, really had liked her.
"What are your intentions with my daughter", Clay asked as Avery rolled her eyes, as the tie went again all eyes were on Cole as he took a swish of water from his half-empty glass.
"Dad, you can't just ask him that", Avery said as she couldn't believe the words that were coming out of her father's mouth, I had never experienced this kind of fatherly love from anyone and now seeing it I wish I had.
"I need to make sure he's good enough for my little girl, but no ones good enough for you", he said as he knew to let go of his label, he had her as his little girl forever and always never growing old, until the moment she did.
Avery gave her a dad as he kissed her cheek as a heartwarming scene took place in front of us, and I couldn't have asked for a better representation of father and daughter love.
"Well, now that's out of the air, I say we eat this wonderful meal you made for all of us", Clay said as he wiped the tear that had slipped from his cheek and he smiled at Avery and Cole, who seemed very happy with how the day had turned out.
"Oh, speaking of family get togethers our anniversary is next week and we're throwing a big party to celebrate it is the big one, well close to the big one", Alison said as Clay laughed and I could tell he wasn't big on the social gatherings.
"Well it's 30 years of marriage, darling we aren't very close but we're getting there", he kissed her lips as she kissed him back and it was sincerely amazing to see them still in love after all this time.
"I hope we're like that", I whispered into Nolan's ear and he kissed it smoothly as Leah covered her scarred eyes.
"Like my parents, no, we're way more kinky", he whispered into my ear as I burst out laughing with him accompanying my laughter as the family stared at us as if we were mad, while they all joined in. I still hadn't found out by what he had meant kinky, we weren't even at the sex part, how could we be kinky.
We finished up dinner and I had helped Avery wash up the dishes, while the men watched football and Alison took care of clearing the table.
"Thank you so much, it didn't even go bad but I knew i'd you hadn't calmed me down it wouldn't have ended up going that way", she thanked me as I couldn't have been more pleased with how the day went.
"It was all up to you in the end, so does Cole like them?", I asked as she kept washing dishes but harder and faster.
"Yes, he just has some opinions about Nolan that definitely cannot be erased from my mind", she said as I could tell these things weren't good as Nolan had told me several things about how he had hated him.
"Well I think they're getting along now", I peeled into the tv room and they were all jumping in the air, drinking their beer.
"Boys are so confusing", she joined in watching and then went back to finishing up the dishes and I helped.
"Nolan said he loves you, is that a recurring thing or like a love you", she asked as she places the last dish in the dishwasher and I couldn't help but tell her the good news.
"The night of the ball, I told him right before we got to the stage and he told me he loved me and we've just been really good lately", I stargazed spoke about the love of my life, and Avery's eyes beamed as she heard her brother was in love.
"I never thought this day would come", she spoke, as she seemed surprised in a good way, she hugged me and I knew her role of questions would come next about 'it'.
"My brother is inlove!", she shook me as she realized what was processing through
her mind. It may be the fact that she didn't get married first, but I guess he was just lucky.
She ran out of the kitchen leaving a scramble of dishes to finish washing and Alison and I exchanged worried looks. We followed her as she ran to the couch, and stood in front of Nolan, as she came to a steep stop.
"It's about time, you love her", she announced to the whole family as she brought her hand in front of him, to do a handshake and I blushed madly in the corner as everyone looked at me, frozen, except for Alison, who had known before.
"I love her with all my heart", he looked at me sincerely as I put my hand across my heart and smiled a bright smile at him as he gave his goofy grin back.
Clay smiled as he hugged his son, I didn't understand what was such an excitement, I mean they'd have figured out eventually. When was "I love you", such a big deal. Leah ran up to me skipping in her normal pattern as she patted my belly and hugged it.
"My mommy told me when people are in love they have babies, hello are you in there", Leah knocked on my stomach as the whole room turned me to and Leah, who knocked on my stomach.
The whole family was trying to hold in their laughs as I peered up at Nolan to see if he would be any help, and he looked simply shocked; frozen almost. The family was bursting into tears laughing, as Leah still knocked on my stomach. I knew no one was going to be a help, here so I got down to me and her's level.
"There isn't a baby, because you can still be in love and not have a baby", I tried to explain to her as she still kept knocking for the baby and she put her ear up to my stomach and listened.
"Natawee please have a baby", she pleaded with me as the laughs exceeded and now Nolan was simply frozen in time, he wanted a kid later, and now his baby sister was asking for one now.
"It's my choice, but it's also your brothers choice", I pointed to the frozen man as she ran to him and began tugging at his shirt violently as he suddenly snapped out of it. Alison came up next to me as we both began watching our sex life, which there wasn't one being shared to the whole family.
"Give Natawee a baby, now", she demanded as I began laughing and he looked at me for help, he didn't know what to do in this extreme moment.
"Well, we may wait a couple of years to have a baby", he exaggerated the "couple", and I could tell the face slip from Alison and Clay, they wanted their grand babies and they wanted them now.
"Hey it wasn't my decision", I told Alison as she gave her son angry eyes, and I knew this was what we were going to be discussing the rest of the night.
"Where's the baby", Leah cried as Alison went over and grabbed her soothing her back and she hugged her tight as she brought her over to me.
"I'm sorry, there's no baby sweetie", I wiped her tear away as she hugged me and kissed my head.
"Wait, how are babies made?", she asked as I couldn't stop myself from laughing, as the rest of the room laughed with me we all looked over at Alison, who was frozen just like Nolan, no one wants to answer that question to their little daughter.
"I think that's a question only your mom can answer", I pointed over to Alison as she began torturing Alison with questions and the whole room burst into laughs and cries as we all steadied ourself out and made our way to the couch. Nolan grabbed my hand and pulled me to the balcony as I walked smoothly next to him.
"Hi", he pulled me towards him as he kissed my luscious lips and played with wisps of my hair. His hand was curved around mine to hold me close, as we leaned against the balcony rails.
"Hi, baby", I baby- talked to him as he smiled and rolled his eyes, in the hottest way possible. My hands got lost in his messy hair, and I got on my tip-toes and kissed his lovable lips.
"Speaking of another type of baby", his hands sneaked into the straps of my pants and he put his hands lower as he reached my ass and he started groping it.
"Nolan!", I yelled softly hoping no one from inside heard us and he smiled softly, he liked the adrenaline and as I felt it so did I.
"I want a baby later, I want to spend every moment alive with you, and I want to
take you on adventures around the world, and show off the beautiful woman that I love", he professed his love for me as I smiled a dearly in love smile and he kissed my forehead in a loving way.
"I know, and we haven't even had sex yet, we don't need to worry about that right now", I assured him as he became more alert as I said 'sex' and his hands slipped out of my pants and he brought his hand up to my hips. He leaned into rest his head on my stout shoulder.
"I'm going to fuck you so hard, you won't be able to walk the next day", the cursed words left his mouth as he left a kiss on my earlobe and a gasp escaped my frozen and locked lips.
"I.. I'd like that", I stuttered as he smiled and kissed my forehead as we came back inside and he kept my hand in his as we closed the door behind us and we saw Alison holding a sleeping Leah, in her arms. We hugged and kissed them bye, as they left through the elevator as they held the sleeping Leah, cradled with love in her hands.
Nolan kept his hand around my body, pulling me close and he kissed my head as the elevator door shut. We helped Cole and Avery pick up the glasses. Nolan went to the kitchen to wash the rest of the dishes as Avery and I picked up the cushions that Leah had made into a pillow fort. After that, we talked for a bit and Nolan came into the room followed by Cole.
"You ready, to go", he asked me as he extended his hand out to me and I took out as he pulled me up softly.
"Yes, sir", I said as he smiled at me and squeezed my hand. I said bye to Avery and Cole and so did he, we stepped into the elevator and we left, he held me close to him, as he held something behind his back secretly.
"What is that", I leaned back to see what it was and he made sure there was no possible way to get it. We left the building and walked to the car as he held my hand gently and opened the door to the car as we found it shortly, still not letting me see what was hiding in his hand.
"I'm ready to cuddle", I said as he got in the driver side and kissed my hand as I played with his hairs. He smiled at me, as he kept his hand on my thigh, which I loved.
"I was thinking, I know we've been crazy busy, but I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner with me, tomorrow", he pulled a lilac from his hidden hiding spot as he gave it to me.
I leaned over and kissed him as he handed me the floor, I whispered 'yes' on his lips as he smiled at me. We drove off listening to music, and singing at every tune we knew we weren't hitting.
"Oh, turn here", he followed my instructions as he had no clue what we were doing. He just followed my lead like a lost man. A little market began to appear as I motioned for him to turn into it.
"We can make dinner, tonight", I said as he parked and as the words came out of my mouth and he laughed.
"You mean me making the food and you sitting on the counter with your cute ass distracting me", he said as laughed and so did I. He was true, I didn't know how to cook to save my life, and it showed.
"My job is to distract you, and I can cut vegetables, I'm very good at that", I pleaded with him, knowing he had no choice, he shook his head as I showed him my puppy eyes and we got out of the car.
He held my hand as we walked to the market and he looked down at me and smiled as I returned a smile, very brightly.
"I will never be able to survive without you, because you make all my food", I added as he smiled at me, as he knew it was true. I bet it was comforting to him.
"Your too cute", he said as he kissed my forehead and we walked off with the feeling of love all around us.
"So what are we making?", I asked him as he grabbed a cart and went to the produce section, I trailed alongside next to him.
"We are making soup and rice", he said as he grabbed green onions and bell peppers.
"And what can I do?", I asked as I took over the cart as he let it spin, he put down more vegetables in the cart and he laughed a bit.
"Sit still and look pretty", he added as I frowned and he laughed at me as he hugged me from behind, not worried about the other shopper's wandering eyes.
"You can help me, by being my cute assistant", he asked me as I nodded. I pushed the cart as he grabbed more vegetables and filled the cart with them.
"Do we have everything", I asked him as the cart was nearly full, he smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Now we have everything", we made our way to the checkout as I held his hand. He held onto my back as we moved to the front. We stopped in the like for the checkout as the lady in front of us turned around.
"You two are so cute", an old lady said as she looked as if she had recognized a familiar face and she smiled.
"Thank you ma'am", I said as we moved up and Nolan kept his hands higher up my back as he coerced me as I pushed the cart closer.
"You were on the magazine for the #1 Bachelor in the world, I guess you aren't a bachelor anymore", she said noticing him as she took a look at our rings and realized that we were married, I looked up at Nolan, wondering if he would be shocked and wouldn't want to be recognized.
"Yes ma'am, I was", he responded as the gentleman he was, he smiled at her as I could tell she was digging through her phone for her camera.
Instead she pulled out the magazine as she showed the magazine to him, and there was his handsome face in the middle of the cover and names of models floated on the inside. I looked away as I turned around just to see everything and realized we were almost close to the front.
"Thank you, son", she said as she took back her pen and her paper and stuffed it into her purse and turned to the front as the checkout was ready for her.
"You were very polite", he patted my head as I swatted his hand away. He pulled me in for a hug as I hugged him softly.
"Funny, I was going to the same about you, mister", I said as he fixed my hair as strands of it were not sticking up. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"I am always polite, what do you mean?", he asked as it was our turn now and he brought the cart forward and began emptying out our cart on the checkout scanner, the cashier bagged them and rang up the total. I gave my card as he went to grab for his.
"You weren't polite to Cole", I said as that got him mad as he carried the bags and he tried to carry all of them as I took some from him.
"Cole is a different story", he said as we walked to the car; carrying the bags of vegetables.
"Now you like him, you approve?", I asked him as he unlocked the car and he put the veggies in the back seat.
"He's a cool guy, he's just kinda weird that's all", he said which was true something about him was definitely off. He drove back into the highway and headed home.
"I was thinking of a gift", I said as my mind wandered to all the things we could get Alison and Clay for their anniversary.
"Baby, all I want is you for a present", he said in a cute way. He kissed my hand and smiled brightly at me.
"You can have me later, I was talking about your parents gift", he howled like a wolf as I kissed his hand that still grazed my thigh.
"Why don't we give them some alone one, watch Leah?", I asked as I knew he loved his sister but he wanted some real alone time, with me.
"Us, you, no make-outs, no alone time", it sounded bad but I knew we would get alone time, eventually. He acted as if he didn't want to spend time with his adorable little sister.
"I was actually thinking of a vacation", he said as he kept driving to our home, as we passed work.
"Who watches Leah, when they go?", I asked him as he looked confused. He shook his head as he began explaining the situation.
"Well, last time they went alone Leah went to a summer camp. She stayed there all summer, while my dad took mom to Spain", he said as I realized that they had only gotten away once.
"Well, then we have to watch her, they haven't gotten alone time since when she went to summer camp, that's a while, I mean would you last if we hadn't gone to your cabin, getaway, please it'll be fun", I pleaded with him as he looked deep into my eyes. He pulled into the driveway and parked the car, as he turned to look at me.
"Fine, but 1 week and 1 week only", he said as I squealed and jumped on him, as I began roughly kissing him and as my back grazed against the steering wheel, the honk went off and the guards on post ran over to see what was wrong.
"Shit", I cursed under my breath as I hid in the crook of his neck as the other guards sent the others away and I believed I could never face them again.
Nolan laughed as I chuckled in his neck and he felt it, he kept laughing as I tried to get out from him and I hit the horn again, luckily this time they didn't run over to check what had happened. We got out of the car and grabbed the groceries at the back, as I kept my head down trying not to make eye contact with the guards, as I couldn't believe they had witnessed that horrible moment.
"Why does my butt hit the horn so much, I hate it", I whispered to him as the guards followed us inside and he laughed as we walked into the lobby.
"I'm sorry that my baby has a big ass, and I love your ass", he said as he grabbed my butt in front of the guards and they all looked away discreetly as if on instinct. How were we going to keep a little kid in our home, if he couldn't even keep his hands off my butt. The guards let us go alone on the elevator as if they knew he would do something to embarrass us, yet again.
"You just touched my butt in front of them, they all saw it, you better not do this in front of Leah", I complained as he held me closely and rested his head on my low shoulder.
"Says the one, who climbed on me and honked the horn with her ass", he laughed as he mocked me and I smiled loving at him.
"Not funny", I laughed with him as he kissed my lips and finally we put in the key and opened the door, he smiled at me and we kissed merely. He put the groceries on the table as I grabbed some water from the kitchen.
"Here, drink", I told him as I could tell some of the beer from earlier was still in his system, which had made him do so many risky things and I hadn't even stopped him. He drank out of the glass, as I went and got him more as he took off his shoes.
I splashed him some water as he kicked off his shoes and began chasing me with a vase full of water. He finally caught me and drenched me in the water, he then held onto me as we both were drenched in water.
I turned around and faced him as I cradled his back and I sat in his lap, I leaned in for his lips as he studied my face, looking at every aspect. We kissed merely as I knew insanely what I was doing, I starting removing his soaked shirt, and as we kissed he smiled, to tell me to continue.
I unbuttoned the soaked shirt and threw it to the side as he smiled at me and we continued making out as I knew I loved him and I needed him in my life, everyday.
