Chloe Regens
"Are you nervous?" I asked Nic who was sitting awkwardly in the car and he shook his head. I chuckled.
"It's just my family Nic." I held his hand and he turned to me.
"Okay fine.. that's the point! It's your family."
"They'll love you."
"What if they don't?" He asked and I smiled. I moved to sit beside him. I kissed his cheek.
"They will Nicholas.. don't worry."
"Ms. Regens, we already here" My driver announced. I got out from the car and so was Nic. I linked my arm to his, I walked in. Today it's the 24th of December, my family always have this tradition where we have a BBQ at my garden.
All my family will come and celebrate it together and I want to bring Nic so he will know my family and so he can enjoy this Christmas together.
"Chloe!" My eyes widen as I saw my cousin Selena.
"Selena!" She ran to me and hugged me really tightly.
"I miss you so much!" She squealed.
"Me too!! So how's London?" I asked and she smiled widely.
"Great! I'm getting married soon!" She showed me her ring and I'm so happy for her.
"Congratulations!"
"So Chloe.." She eyed me and I turned to Nic.
"Selena this is my boyfriend Nic, Nic this is my cousin Selena." I introduced them.
"Nice to meet you Nic, wow I'm shaking hands with one of the 7 Gold Lifes!" She said and I laughed.
"Nice to meet you too Selena." Nic said.
"Jacob! Come here!" She called someone and I think he's her fiancè.
"Kenneth?" The guy who Selena called knows Nic appearently.
"Yoo Jacob!" They gave each other bro hug.
"So you two know each other?" Selena asked.
"We studied together in one college." Jacob answered.
"Jacob this is Chloe my cousin. Chloe this is Jacob my fiancè" Selena introduced.
"Kidss! Get in, we miss you too." My aunt shouted from the garden and I chuckled.
"Nice to meet you Jacob." I shook his hand.
"Me too.. so Ken, Nicholas Lemiere huh?" Jacob started to talk to Nicholas and I'm glad that he got a friend here. Selena linked her arm with me and dragged me to the garden.
"My little Chloe!" My aunt squealed and hugged me.
"Mom, you're making her hard to breathe." Selena patted her mom.
"Aww I miss you." She put her hands on my shoulder and I smiled.
"I miss you too Marie." I smiled.
I started to greet my family one by one and introduced Nic to them. They love him already and they talked about business a lot. I helped my dad taking the ingredients outside. He's going to grill the meat along with my uncles.
"Chloe Chloe!" I turned to see my little cousin Valentine, yes her name is Valentine Regens because she was born on Valentine's day.
"Val!" She hugged me really tightly.
"I miss you so much!! I heard you're dating Nicholas Lemiere where is he?" She asked and I pointed at Nic who was talking to my nephews and uncles.
"Wow he's handsome." I chuckled.
"How's school Val?" Valentine is 18 years old and she's almost graduated from highschool. She lives in San Fransisco so we hardly meet.
"Terrible."
"Huh why?" I raised my eyebrows.
"There's this annoying guy that keeps bullying me everyday, my highs chool life is no fun."
"Hey there's still a few months, enjoy it!" I said and she sighed.
"I mean he's already stop but.." I raised my eyebrows.
"I don't know.. argh!" She added, I laughed seeing her like this.
"What's his name?" I asked curious.
"Joey Harris."
"The Harris?" The Harris is Luke's enemy in hotel chain. Until now Luke still rank 1st.
"Yeah.. The Harris second child. He bothered me for almost 3 years and make my high school life like hell. He once put a frog into my bag, destroy my locker, exposing my crush."
"Hey take it easy Val, ignore him."
"I already did that Chloe but damn that guy is annoying as f***! I liked this guy name Raymond and Joey announced it on our camping trip! That shit!" She hissed and I chuckled.
"Wow why did he do that?"
"He's an asshole.. I mean he's stop now." She said in a sad tone.
"That's good.. isn't that what you want?"
"Yeah but-" She stopped.
"But what? Do you feel empty and weird?" I asked and she shrugged.
"I dated this cute guy name Harry." She suddenly changed the subject.
"Dated? Only dated?" I asked.
"Yeah I still don't know whether I like him or not." She's cute.
"I don't think you like him.. how can you be so unsure about your feelings? I think you like that Joey."
"When the hell freeze Chloe.. oh the lover boy is coming this way" She smirked to me and I turned to see Nic walking to me.
"Hello.. I'm Nicholas." Nic introduced himself to Valentine.
"I'm Valentine! Nice to meet you! 7 Gold Lifes is really popular in my school and some of them cursing why you all settling down." Val said causing Nic to laughed.
"So they want us not to settle down?" Nic asked Val.
"They basicly want to date you guys but I told them that they're crazy to dream something like that so instead go for you guys.. they went for the popular kid at school name Joey Harris." Val said and Nic raised his eyebrows.
"Harris's son?" Val nodded her head.
"She likes him." I said and Val's eyes widen.
"Chloe! Iuwww don't say that, I want to kill myself if that's right." I laughed.
"Valentine!" She was called by her dad and she ran away from us. I turned to Nic.
"So how's talking with my family?"
"They're fun, they asked me to come fishing with them one day and have a golf trip together." I smiled hearing that.
"See they'll love you."
"I'm nervous" He looked at me and I circled my arms to his waist.
"Not anymore right?" I asked and suddenly chuckled.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked.
"Valentine is such a cutie, I miss her a lot."
"Why is that?"
"Oh I'll tell you later bad boy." I kissed his cheek and he smiled.
"Come on.. I need to eat because I'm starving" I held his hand tightly.
"Thankyou Chloe." I turned to him and raised my eyebrows.
"For what Nic?"
"Bringing me here.. they're so welcoming and warm." I smiled.
"You'll already become a family Nic, we'll have something like this more in the future." He nodded and kissed the side of my head.
"I love you Lemiere." I said.
"Love you too Regens."
