JEREMY

The days passed in a blur, and it was safe to say that my theory of trying to ignore Lucia to get her back was an epic fail.

She didn’t even seem to care that I did not try to grab her attention anymore, and it truly hurt my heart.

On the other hand, my friendship with Amber seemed to be blossoming, and by friendship, I meant her following me about like a lost puppy and trying to talk to me at every second.

It was definitely one-sided.

I don’t like Amber. Not even a little bit. She is an asshole and I’m not saying that to be an asshole, but I could tell from the little things she did.

The way she spoke to waiters, janitors, and everyone whom she thought was beneath her. She always made some backhanded comments, which were totally uncalled for, and just made me stop and pause.

I was also pretty sure she was a bully, and she was definitely a brat who threw a fit if things didn’t go her way.

So despite the fact that she was pretty, she was also very unlikable, and I thought it w

    JEREMY Driving away from the hotel was one of the hardest things I had ever done. All I wanted to do was lay in bed with Lucia and wake up tomorrow with her next to me.As much as I wanted to do that, I figured it would be best to give her some space for tonight. She needed lots of rest after all the grilling she got from my parents. I would let her get her much needed rest, then tomorrow evening, I would go see her. I kept thinking about Lucia that it was hard to focus on the road, and I was honestly lucky to get back home in one piece. Aaron was standing on the patio when I arrived, and I could not help the smile that curled at the corners of my lips. “There you are,” He said once he spotted me. “Did she get home safe?” I nodded, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. “Yeah. I made sure of it,” I replied, not missing the relieved look in his eyes. “Uhm, hey. Thank you for what you did for Lucia and I back then. I never would have asked you to put your position on the line like

    LUCIAIt was hard to believe that the meeting with Jeremy’s parents was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It started off rough for sure, but now, they had accepted our engagement, and it even looked like they had softened up to me. I wished someone would pinch me at that moment because it felt like some kind of fever dream.From the conversation I made out earlier, it seemed like Jeremy’s father was against him pursuing music, and that was strange to me because Jeremy was obviously good at it. I was just glad that everything worked out at the end.It was almost time for dinner, and as if on cue, my stomach grumbled. I was just glad because it was not too loud because that would have been so embarrassing. The last food I had was a light breakfast at the hotel and now I was very hungry.About three chefs pushed in large trolleys of food, and my mouth hung open at how much food there was. It was a feast. Dinner consisted of different courses, from light platters to lamp ch

    JEREMYI could feel it. Lucia was pissed, and she had every right to be. Who would not be pissed when my mother spoke to them like that?When Aaron set up this meeting with them, I never expected them to show up, but here they were. I thought they would at least be civil, but my mother did nothing but disrespect Lucia to no end, and it got on my nerves badly.“Five actually. I’m five years older than Jeremy.” Lucia answered, and I was surprised that her tone was oddly calm despite how angry she seemed moments ago.I traced soothing circles on the back of her hand, hoping to convey the message that I was sorry about the way my parents and that I was proud of her as she was doing so wellI opened my mouth to speak, but Lucia’s hand in mine tightened, which left me no choice but to keep quiet.As much as I wanted to tell my mom off, I had to respect Lucia’s wishes. “Right.” Mom answered, her tone dripping with condescension, her eyes hard on Lucia. My hands clenched into fists, and an

    LUCIAJeremy’s face slowly broke into a smile at the look on my face. I was sure my expression was filled with shock and awe.Who could blame me? I was sure no one would be able to blame me when they saw the monstrosity that was in front of me.“It’s my home. Come on. My parents will be waiting.” He said, taking my hand softly in his, and once again, I was reminded of the reason why we were here. Surprised gasps kept escaping my lips as we walked through the garden towards the mansion. The garden was so large and well-kept that I could not keep myself from glancing towards it.We finally reached the front of the mansion, and Jeremy wasted no time pressing the doorbell. I spotted the array of luxury cars in the driveway, and I nearly passed out from the sight. How in the world did they manage to own such an array of luxurious items?Oh, that was right. This was a family of billionaires. Nothing was impossible for them.At this point in time, my heart pounded heavily against my chest,

    LUCIABeth and I spent hours searching for the perfect outfit which I would wear to meet Jeremy’s parents. I kept trying on different clothes, but nothing seemed good enough, and as the hours ticked by, my agitation grew.I was so exhausted and on the cusp of giving up. I was beginning to pack up my suitcases when Beth suddenly yelled.“Wait a minute! What about that silk blouse?” My brows instantly furrowed in confusion. “What silk blouse?”“The one I gifted you on your last birthday.” “Oh, that silk blouse. I’ve got it somewhere here.” I answered before digging into my stuff, and it took me a couple of minutes to find it.It was a beautiful blush pink blouse, and I only wore it on special occasions because I loved it so much, and I could also tell that it was extremely pricey.Meeting Jeremy’s parents was definitely a special occasion, and wearing the blouse would be appropriate. Beth and I squealed when I brought out the blouse as it still looked good as new.“Oh wow. That is

    LUCIAJeremy seemed surprised at the fact that I instantly agreed to meet his parents.I wouldn’t lie. I was terrified out of my mind, but at the end of the day, he was right. If we were going to get married, I would have to meet his parents.There was no point in delaying and dragging it out. The best option would be to face it head-on.Jeremy seemed sceptical, but I could see the underlying excitement that danced in the pools of his eyes.“Are you sure about this? I want you to meet them, but I would never make you do what you don’t want. You know that.”“Of course I do,” I answered, trying to focus on the conversation even though the way he drew lazy circles on the back of my hand was extremely distracting. “I want to meet them.” I insisted, and it made Jeremy’s smile even wider as he brought my hand to his lips once more.“Great. I will set up a meeting,” He answered, and I gave him a small nod. “They will be thrilled to meet you.” He said, and even I could tell that it was a hug
