Now and Forever novel Chapter 11

As we got closer and closer towards Alexander's parent's house I couldn't help but get more and more nervous. I spread the fingers of my left hand out and admired the silver ring that sat on my fourth finger.

The commotion of the city was left behind as we turned on a road where the houses got larger and larger. We turned a corner and at the end of the road, there was a black gate with beautiful golden designs running all over it.

When we got to the gate, Alexander pressed a button and then put in a passcode of some sort. The gate opens up and we drive around a beautiful fountain with the design of a mermaid, it was really beautiful.

We approached a very beautiful house- no! Mansion that looked like it had three floors. It was covered in vines that made it look kind of vintage with the vines blooming very beautiful blue flowers that shone under the moonlight.

Alexander pulled up in front of the house and turned off the ignition of the car. He sighed and turned to me. "We're going to have to share a room." He said. "What?! Why?!" I complained. "We're supposed to be an engaged couple Amelia. Don't you think it would be weird if we don't share a room?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

I just sighed as he opened the door and walked out of the car and towards the front door.

I opened the door and walked out of the slowly. "Can you hurry the fuck up!" Alexander whisper shouted. I just rolled my eyes at him and quickened my pace.

We walked into the house and I gawked at the beauty of the interior. There was a staircase leading to the next floor with a glass banister and a red carpet on the steps. There were two corridors on either side of us leading to other rooms I'm yet to find out. "Mom! We're here!" Alexander shouted, breaking me out of my reverie.

The sound of heels clicking on the granite floor caught my attention. I turned my head towards the corridor on the right and a woman that looked around her mid fifties with blonde hair that was reaching her shoulders in bob form made her way towards us. I think she was Alexander's mother because of the resemblance the two shared.

She gave Alexander a big hug and kissed him on both cheeks. I giggled at the face he made when she left lipstick iron his cheeks.

My giggle seemed to turn her attention on me since she turned towards my direction. Alexander put both his hands on my waist and shiver ran down my spine. What the fuck Amelia?! Where's this even coming from?! I scolded myself.

"Mama," Alexander started off, "this is my fiancée, Amelia." He introduced me. I put my hand out for a handshake, "nice too meet you Mrs Knight." I said but instead got engulfed in a bone crushing hug.

"You're so beautiful Tesoro." She gushed out after breaking away from the hug. All I did was look down at floor as a blush creeped in on my neck. I had studied some Italian in high school so I understood some of it for example, Tesoro meant sweetheart.

"So, how-" "no mama, we're tired and would like to go get some rest now, questions for tomorrow at breakfast." Alexander interrupted his mom as he took ahold of my hand pulling me away from her. "Ok, no problem teddy bear! Goodnight!" Alexander groaned and I tried to stifle a giggle at the nickname his mom gave him.

I tried to ignore the tingles that were there when Alexander let go of my hand when we were out of his mother's sight but couldn't. I mean, where is all this crap even coming from?

We walked up the stairs and walked down the hallway passing many doors as we went. Alexander stopped in front of a white door then opened it and didn't even bother letting me go in first. How rude!

I wasn't at all surprised at the size of the room. There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room with white beddings and many pillows stacked on top of it. On the wall opposite the bed had a huge t.v mounted on it with a small glass table underneath it. On either sides of the tv were two doors, which I was assuming were the bathroom and closet. On the wall opposite of where we stood in the door way had glass doors which led to what I assumed was the balcony.
