~ Theresa’s POV ~
It was really a nice house. The contrast between the color of the building and the green of the garden, covered with flowers of different colors was beautiful. The roads were tarred with concrete and right in front of the entrance, there was a big fountain that goes perfectly with the style of a hotel.
“Almost 11 am, you slept most of the ride,” Frank said with his voice still distant, not looking at me.
“Are you hungry?” he asked.
I took a moment to reply, realizing I was indeed hungry. My stomach was rumbling.
“Yeah,” I said, trying to keep the conversation short. I didn’t want to push it and have him be rude to me again.
“We are going to have brunch in the house. My mum will be glad I came with you,” he said, moving his eyes toward the entrance.
“She’s looking forward to meeting you. Please be nice to her.
“Frank….” I took a deep breath, turning to look at him even when I felt ashamed for doing it.
“Can we talk first? I don’t want us to be like this.”
“You’ll assume to be my wife to be, that’s what my mom would like to see,” he said, his voice still distant from me. His words were breaking my heart and I couldn’t tell why.
“Let’s not talk about anything. I prefer we keep this situation to ourselves,” he added to my discomfort.
“Frank….” I said in almost a plea, wanting him to look at me like he did many times yesterday. Did I fuck up this bad?
“We should get going now. I’m sure they can’t wait to see us.” Frank said, ignoring me while he walked to open the trunk of the car.
I felt my eyes watering again and I hate myself for feeling this way. I only wanted to know why he invited me. I never planned on hurting him and making him treat me this way. And just when I thought I cared for him too, how the tables have turned. I swallowed everything inside and opened the door, stepping outside of the car.
A teenage girl sighted us from afar. She ran towards Frank and helped him with the bags. He gently accepted his help and glanced at me to see if I was ready to walk inside.
“She’s fine oo,” I overheard the girl say.
Frank smiled sheepishly and turned at me.
“Uh, Terry, this is going to be the first time I introduce a girl to my family,” Frank said, coming closer to me, his eyes hidden behind the shades that hide him from any type of emotion.
“So, um, I don’t really know how they are going to react.”
Even when I shouldn’t, I gave him a supporting smile. Somehow, what he said made me feel better than before. I knew he was acting like a rock but I could see he was nervous, even behind the distant voice.
“It’s okay. Don’t be scared.” I said while I accommodated my jacket.
“I can handle it.”
“Okay.” He nodded.
I can’t really say if he looked at me or not. All thanks to the sunglasses but I’d like to think he did.
“Let’s get inside then.”
The girl whom he said was his cousin was distant from us. I glanced around the place to distract myself from the short silence that stood between us.
“Frank? Franklin..” Came a voice from inside. When we looked up in the direction of the entrance, we found a lady with long beautiful black hair falling back her shoulders, a few braids making half a ponytail.
“Benita,” He said excitedly. He hugged her tightly and lifted her, making her laugh. When he puts her down, he held her at arm’s length.
“You are not looking bad, my dear.” Frank complimented her.
“Thank you, thank you.” She said, smiling. She chuckled and slightly noticed I came with Frank.
“And who’s this beautiful young lady? Is she…?” She walked to me holding my hands, making me take a step closer while she inspected me.
“Um, Benita, this is Theresa.” He stood beside me. It felt strange to have him treat me so friendly when minutes ago he was so distant.
“My.. My….,” he thought for a second, trying to think of the right word.
“My date,” he eventually said.
“Oh, your date.” She widened her eyes with a smile.
“Welcome dear, I’m so glad to meet you.” She then leaned closer to me but still spoke loud enough for him to hear.
“We actually thought he wasn’t going to mar…”
“Hmm..,” Frank interrupted Benita from completing her word. He moved one eyebrow up and looked straight at her.
“Well, you have never brought a girl to the family, don’t blame me.” She chuckled, glancing at him but then she looked at me.
“Your babe is fine. Finer than you,” Benita added jokingly.
“Thank you,” was all I said, laughing slightly. She was so open and talkative that you could feel a great vibe coming from her.
“Glad to meet you,” she said.
“I’m glad to meet you as well,” I said.
“Thank you, dear. Let me show the way.” She laced her arm with mine and started walking away. I glanced back at Frank and he held his laugh, hiding his face with one hand.
“I’m sorry.” He murmured while I walked away, now realizing Benita has been talking non-stop about some selection they made for the wedding. I wasn’t following anything she said. I just nodded in response with a polite smile on my face.
We walked inside the first room in the house there was a big table in the middle of the room and she walked straight to it.
The conversation on the table instantly stopped when she walked inside the room. Everyone at the table turned to look at us. I couldn’t help but blush, having everyone’s attention.
Then, Frank walked inside as well and everyone stood up with smiles.
“Frank!” They all said in unison.
A woman with black hair technically ran towards him and soon enough, I realized that was his mom. She looked so young.
“Everyone, this is Theresa, Frank’s girlfriend,” Benita informed everyone at the table. They turned to look at me once again, and I blushed even deeper.
“Make her feel at home.”
“I’m not… his…,” but they couldn’t let me finish my sentence, because soon enough, they were on their feet taking turns greeting me.
I shook everyone’s hand and even received a hug. I chuckled nervously while everyone came to meet me. I didn’t know how to react, so I just smiled politely. They seem like really good people. They were very impressed with meeting me. It was strange but it felt good in some way.
Finally, Frank’s mom approached me with a big smile and open arms.
“Theresa! So glad to finally meet you. I’m his mother,” she said, rounding me in a tight hug. She was more beautiful up close.
“Sorry for all the fuzz. We are just very excited about having you here. And Frank of course.”
“Nice to meet you, ma. I’m very happy to be here as well.” I said with a bright smile. I felt butterflies running down my stomach as I see Frank walking toward me.
“Well, well, let’s give her some space now!” Frank stood next to me, smiling at me. I don’t know if I was the only that noticed it but it wasn’t a real smile.
