She definitely fell first 🫢🫢
It's currently 4 p.m. , which means I only have one and half an hour before I have to get to the family dinner
I'm so nervous since this dinner will be my first dinner with them, -by them I mean my new family specifically my mom's new husband
My dad passed away when I was only 10 years old, so I barely remember him, I don't even know how he died since my mom would always cut me off when we are in that topic and would just end the topic by telling me it was an accident, but the way she always acts as if she's hiding something, or she's not telling me the whole story has always made me doubt the whole incident, yet I don't have any proof
I'm not saying my mom is bad or anything, but she has always kept herself apart from me since my dad's incident
she was there with me, but I couldn't feel her sometimes, she kept herself distant from me since I was young
even though I want to ask her I stop myself not wanting to ruin the thing that we have
but as we grow older she had been feeling better, and we have been going on few dates ourselves
my childhood as far as I remember was just all study and assignments
I'm not much of an exercise person so I'm not slim or thin like the model I'm more like the thick girl blessed with my front and back
I could have gone shopping with my friend, but I was busy doing my assignment for my second semester
wait I have a very influencer friend she can suggest me what should I wear

By the time we finished our chit-chat, it was already 5 which meant I only have half an hour left
I booked a taxi and went to the destination, my mom went separately since she wanted to meet her client before dinner
When I reached the destination I was shocked at how this place was no ordinary dining spot
my mom and I usually have dinner at home and since I only go out with my friends it was never on my bucket list to visit places like this
now that I have seen this place it is extremely beautiful with its gray exterior
As soon as I entered I was welcomed by a woman who was dressed in what looked like her uniform
Even in her simple uniform she looked stunning and captivating with her polite smile
She led me to my table where, I saw Mom waving at me with a smile on her, face
she must be happy I think it's my responsibility to not spoil this for her I have to do my best
I went ahead and introduced myself
Arabella
Mr Antonio
I heard a lot about you from my mom it's a pleasure meeting you
Antonio
same here Mrs Flora
you don't have to be so formal
it's finally good to see you in person, I have heard a lot about you from your mom .
Antonio
Take a seat, please
Natalia
how was your ride?dear
Arabella
it was fine Mom I'm grown up now
coming by myself wasn't hard at all
Natalia
of course, you are all grown up, but you will always be my baby 💗
Natalia
I think we should start ordering
Natalia
Should not we wait for Raphael
Antonio
we don't know if he's going to be late it's better to start
Natalia
We will wait over eating then
I was busy ordering when I heard my opposite chair being pulled
I looked up and was almost knocked out by how charming and unreal this person in front of me is
his blue eyes were the most captivating thing I have ever laid my eyes on
he wore a blue suit which fitted him better than most model themselves
He is not that bulky, yet I can make out his muscles from his suit itself
He looks dangerously gorgeous the kind who hides everything behind their enchanting smile
I only realized I had been staring when he introduced himself
Raphael
Hello! I'm Raphael, Your soon-to-be stepbrother
it's a pleasure meeting You.
you are so much more beautiful than I have imagined
Arabella
Hello ! I'm Flora, Same goes for you, it's a pleasure meeting you soon to be step-brother
he gave me a quick smile and proceed to wish our soon-to-be couples hmm I mean parents
We had a little chit-chat among everyone and though he didn't show but deep down I have a feeling that he is better than anyone at putting that mask on
I have seen that smile which was neither flirty nor playful, deep down I could feel that he is not so interested as he is showing
No matter how boring the conversation was going atleast the night was bearable due to this handsome man sitting across me
after that, the dinner went better than I expected
ignoring the fact that he would catch me looking at him now and then the whole dinner
I thought that night was just a mild attraction which would not last a day
not now when hes going to be my step brother and I his step sister
also our age, he is already in his 30s while I just turned 18 making it not possible itself
I should have known better this heart of mine was ruthless and stubborn not ready for all these excuses
