Demitri's POV

I woke up started by my phones ringing I took the call and glanced at the clock it was Saturday so I decided to stay home today.

I walked the down the stairs and perceived a mouth watering smell as I walked down the stairs I saw Rachel by the stove humming to a song, I walked up to her and held her waist she turned startled and I carried her up the counter and buried my head in her neck planting baby kisses

"OMG" she exclaimed jumping down we both started at the black burnt eggs and I burst into laughter

" You know Rachel I've been waiting for this for you to ease up to me"

She smiled " I just think you would snap sometimes..."

I planted a kiss on her lips " That was in the past babe" she smiled again

" I love your smile" her cheeks turned a bright red

I led her to the living room and we sat down

" The truth is, a lot of things happened in my past even before I met you things that changed me but now I realize my mistakes and I'm truly sorry I know now that I'm deeply in love with you"

her eyes widened and I pulled her into my chest and stroked her hair

" Demitri we really need to do something about breakfast though"

she muffled into my chest " also I can't breathe"

I laughed heartily and pecked her on her forehead

" Maybe we should cook together but before that I have something for you"

I brought out a black case and opened it inside was the necklace I bought at the auction

"Oh my God its beautiful, thank you so much I love it"

" You're welcome, actually let's do something about breakfast I'm starving"

We Walked to the kitchen and tried to make pancakes causing flour all over the counter as I mixed the batter it mistakenly splashed on her face and she poured a handful of flour on me

" OK actually let's be serious now a real war is going on in my stomach"

I said in between laughter.

  " OK crybaby stop your whining"

" If not that I was so hungry I would have chased you round the house"

" mm hmm" she replied sarcastically and finally made a tall stack of pancakes and I ate hungrily

" Aren't you going to eat"

" No I don't like pancakes or bacon"

"So what do you eat then??"

"Cereals... I guess"

" So what do you usually eat cos I dont take cereals"

" Nothing or maybe coffee at the shop cos I didn't  know how to approach you about it so..."

An awkward silence followed until the bell rang

" I'll get it"  saved by the bell I thought to myself

Rae's POV

I cleaned up the kitchen and as I was walking out I heard a woman's voice by the door

" Demitri its not like that, a lot of things happened that made me take that decision"

" I don't want to listen to you and I know you don't even have a plausible explanation so please leave now!!"

" I had to fake my death cos I didn't have the heart to break up with you and my ex boyfriend had a lot planned out for you, I did it to protect you, you have to believe me. I have been looking for your address since and I came here immediately I got it"

" But do you know what your death did to me, it changed me I missed you a lot when you left it cost me a lot but I have moved on now"

My heart swelled at that

" Let's go out sometime just to catch up as friends no strings attached"

" OK Rosa I'll think of it, Bye"
I heard the door close and walked up the stairs, I was truly in love with him and finally trusted him I didn't know if to be intimidated by Rosa being back I ran a bath and soaked myself in it to clear my head I dressed up after the bath and climbed my bed knocks interrupted my thoughts

"Yh come in"

" Sorry I kinna wasted time at the door"
His phone rang out loud and he picked it

"Hello mumsi, Yh I'll be home this Sunday OK no problem" he hung up

"Rachel we're having a family dinner and Sunday and I told ma we'll be there"

" Hmm..OK"

" what's the problem"

" First your mum doesn't like me and I haven't met your family I dont know what to expect also I'm not Italian and I dont know all those different spoons and forks"

" Just be calm, it would probably be finger food and you'll look good in whatever you wear and about mum she's like that to everyone shell still get used to you. How about we go shopping for the phone now"

"OK fine lemme just change then"

" You're fine the way you are now what's wrong"

" Well I'm in a polo and jeans and you'll probably just wear a suit like normal so I have to dress up too"

" OK fine you choose what I'll wear today"

" Hmm... fine let's go to your closet"

We went to his room and he pressed a button and a door opened, I had been in the room countless times and I didn't know a door was there, he walked inside and I followed the closet was white and had enough space for another room in the middle, there was a table with a vase there and there were plenty shelves and drawers which were also white.

" close your mouth honey"
He picked a remote and pressed different buttons opening different drawers showing wristwatches, ties, cufflinks, pocket kerchiefs too

" You can start picking anytime soon"

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

" Finally" I exclaimed

A golf shirt with bowling shorts, suede loafers with a Rolex watch.

"Let's go before you see something else you want me to try on"

We walked out of the door he told Joe he would be driving and we zoomed out of the gates.
