•4•Meeting The Family

Luca's POV

The next day, my parents send a brand new Ferrari with a driver to come and pick Skylar and me up to the family reunion. Skylar is dressed in a beautiful dress that highlights her curves so perfectly, making her very gorgeous. I find myself constantly stealing looks at her.

“It'll take us about two hours to get there.” i inform Skylar. “I hope you don't mind.”

Skylar shrugs with a smile. “No problem.”

I realize she seems a bit nervous. In the car, we discuss how best to execute our plans to make my mum and my family convinced that we're dating.

Finally, we get to my parent's mansion. The driver finds space among the several parked cars, obviosuly belonging to my relatives.

"Max, please send our luggage inside?"

"Of course." The driver smiles.

“Don't move.” I sternly tell Skylar before taking off my seat belt and getting out of the car. I round the car to the other side and open the door for her.

I stretch out my hand. “Shall I?”

This feels awkward but it's necessary to create a good first impression. Skylar rolls her eyes before taking my hand. I help her step out of the car.

"Wow.” Skylar gasps. “Your parent's mansion is beaut…”

I'm not even listening to what she's saying. Instead, I find my eyes glued to her for the umpteenth time today. She's so freaking beautiful.

Ugh, what the fuck is wrong with me today? I've always known that Skylar is beautiful but I've never paid attention to it like I've been doing since yesterday.

I even dreamt of her last night. Yes. A dream where Skylar is naked and sweaty and panting beneath me while I plow into her warm depths.

Fuck I need to stop this. I have to make sure not to fall in love with Skylar. She doesn't even know the meaning of commitment with the way she sleeps around with so many men.

The driver takes out I and Skylar's mini-suitcases from the booth and is just about to walk off when I stop him.

"Can we talk?"

Skylar and I discussed a lot of things in the car. A lot to make it obvious that we're not actually dating but are only pretending. I can't afford to have the driver talk to anyone about it.

The driver smiles nervously. “Is anything the matter, sir?”

I step closer to him. "Skylar and I said a lot of things in the car. I know you heard…”

"Who me? I didn't hear anything.." The driver cuts me off with a small smile. "Consider me deaf, young sir. I won't speak to anyone about it.”

Grateful, I oat him lightly on the shoulder. "Uh, I need you to bring our luggage later. I'll go in first.”

"Okay, young sir."

Finally, I focus back on Skylar, offering her my arm. “Shall we go?”

Skylar wraps her hand around my arm and we start making our way toward the mansion. Once at the doorstep, I can hear laughter echoing from inside.

“Skylar, are you ready?”

“I am.” She answers after blowing out a deep breath. I can sense that she's a little nervous.

I press the doorbell firmly. It takes some seconds before the door is opened by Chole, a middle-aged woman. She's been a maid at the mansion since I was a kid.

"My boy." Chole beams and instantly attacks me in a hug. "

She finally pulls back after some time and looks at Skylar. “Oh beautiful miss, you're welcome.”

“Thank you.” Skylar whispers.

“Both of you better go in right now. I think your mother is running out of patience.” She laughs shortly.

I shake my head with a chuckle as I lead Skylar into the house.

Okay, fake relationship. Ready. Set. Go

."My darling!" My mother doesn't waste time running towards us as soon as we enter, her face full of joy. She immediately pulls me into a bone-crushing hug, causing me to grunt in protest. "Mum! Ugh.”

"Oh, be quiet!" She squeezes me even tighter as if wanting to irritate me.

Skylar chuckles. My mum finally pulls away to face Skylar, her blue eyes shining with happiness. “You must be Skylar. Oh my God, you really are beautiful. Dennis was so right.”

She immediately pulls Skylar too into a hug. Skylar's eyes widen as if she hadn't expected the hug. I smile to reassure her.

"You don't know how happy I am to meet you!" My mum squeals. "Come, dearie. Everyone is waiting to meet you.”

She takes Skylar's hand and leads her toward our family members who are sitting in the living room, walking excitedly. "She's here, people. This is Skylar.”

“Hey, Skylar.” Everyone says together.

"Skylar is my daughter-in-law." My mum adds.

I groan in exasperation as I step closer to my mother and Skylar. We've just begun our pretense. I don't want my mum to scare Skylar away already by talking about marriage.

"That's enough mother."

I place my hand on Skylar's waist, feeling her stiffen at my touch but I don't remove my hand. Damn, she has such a small waist, and I love the feel of it under my hand.

"Skylar and I have only been dating for three months. It's not the time to talk about marriage, okay?"

My mother glares at me. "This is the first girl you've personally introduced to us in the thirty years we've known you. I even thought you were gay and afraid to come out to us!” She declares.

Everyone laughs causing me to roll my eyes.

"I just hope you guys don't take too long to get married and give me grandchildren.”

Ugh!

Before she can say anything more, I take Skylar's hand to introduce her one by one to my family. The females among my relatives hug Skylar and smile warmly at her while the males shake hands with her.

Uncle Dennis is the only man who hugs her since he already knows her. He seems very excited to meet again.

My smile wipes off when it gets to the turn of my cousin, Ramiro. Ramiro is a known troublemaker in the family and I don't like the way he's looking at Skylar. Neither do I like the way he holds her hand while shaking it.

My stomach drops. Does he know Skylar? Is he one of Skylar's one-night stands? Has Skylar slept with him before?
