Emily's Pov.

kids?

I don't think I'm ready to have kids yet. Not at all.

Wiping the sweat away from my head, I left the dining room and sat in the living room along with Xavier's parents.

I can't believe what they said up to now. Kids? I hardly even know him.

I felt someone sitting beside me and his familiar scent hit my nose.

Yep, it's Xavier.

"So....how was your honeymoon?" His mom, Carla asked. Ever since we met at the breakfast table, she kept asking me about Xavier.

"It was great" I replied to her question and she slowly nodded her head while looking at me.

Yep, she's trying to see if I was lying.

"So....what did you guys do?" His dad, Andrew, asked me.

"Well, he took me to one of his meetings, where I met with some of his friendly employees. We also went to this beautiful restaurant and to the amusement park" I answered truthfully.

"Amusement park?" His dad asked whole looking at Xavier with an amused expression in his face.

"Yes." I simply replied.

"Anywhere else?" Carla asked and I replied with a no.

After that, we sat quietly and watched Tv.

...

It was time for bed and I was just done bathing. I slipped on a crop top and my pajama pants and was ready to sleep after a tiring day of being questioned by both of his parents.

Xavier was already in bed when I got out of the shower. He was laying in bed while scrolling through his phone. I was still a little confused about how I ended up for his car to his bed. I don't fully believe in his explanation.

Tying my hair in a bun, I walked over to the couch and was ready to drop my body down but stopped when I heard Xavier spoke. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to sleep?" I replied but it came out more like a question.

"Not on the couch. You sleep on the bed for now on" he said and I give him a confused look."Why?"

"Because if my parents saw us sleeping apart, then they'll think I'm treating you bad" he explained and I nodded.

"But you do" I mumbled and he heard me.

"Can you just lay on the bed and stop talking?" He said in an annoyed tone.

"You're not gonna hurt me while I sleep, right?"I asked slowly walking toward the bed.

"And why would I do that?" He asked.

"Nothing" I mumbled almost reaching the bed.

Bang bang!

There was a knock on the door and I suddenly felt my body pulled unto the bed and hit a had wall.

Opening my eyes, I saw that my face was buried in Xavier's chest and his arms were wrapped around me tightly. I tried to get out of his grip but he was too damn strong.

"Stop moving around and be quiet." He whispered in my ears and moved his body so that he was on top of me and was holding my wrist down.

After wrestling for a few seconds, I became tired and relaxed.

The door flew open and in front was Carla and Andrew. "Oh, goodnight," Andrew said a surprised at how we were position.

"We were just checking on you," Carla said smiling at us and pulling Andrew outside of the bedroom. "Bye," she said and both disappeared.

Xavier sigh and got off of me and I let out a breath. I had 4 pillows over my side so I took 2 of them and made a wall separating both of us.

Laying down, I curl up in a ball and slowly fall asleep.

...

The next morning when I woke up, I was in the arms of Xavier again but this time he wasn't the one hugging me. I was hugging him instead. He was so warm though. I felt very comfortable laying in his arms and I haven't had such peaceful sleep ever since forever.

I looked up to his face and saw that he was already looking at me. His beautiful grey eyes were on mine.

I snapped out of it and said "I'm sorry" Quickly getting up I entered the bathroom feeling very embarrassed.

I took a shower, washed my hair and brush teeth. Digging in my closet, I found some leggings and a shirt.

Letting my hair down, I walked out of the bathroom and found Xavier not there. I let out a sigh and walked downstairs for breakfast.

There sat Xavier, Carla, and Andrew. They were waiting for me. "Good mourning" I greeted with a smile.

"Good morning honey. How was your night?" Carla asked and I felt a blush crept on my face.

How to reply?

If I say it was good, then they'll think otherwise but if I say it was bad, they'll also think otherwise.

Oh, God...

"It was...nice," I said and she looked at me then at Xavier.

"Good, so how are you two getting along?" Andrew asked and Xavier replied. "We getting along fine"

"That's nice to hear. So did you guys---"

"No mom" Xavier cut her off.

They both looked disappointed and I didn't know what to say.

...

It was later in the afternoon when we were all sitting in the living room watching a movie except Carla. She said she'll be preparing dinner for us today.

"Dinners ready!" I heard her shout from the kitchen and we all cut off the TV and walked to the dining room.

The table was flooded with delicious homemade food. We all sat down and ate while holding a conversation.

Later that night, Carla made some drinks for us which she called some kind of herbal drink that'll make you healthy. It was a greenish content in a glass that made me squirm when I saw it.

Taking a glass I watched as Carla and Andrew drank theirs and I squirmed again. "Drink it you guys! It's delicious" She said to us and I hesitantly drank mine while Xavier drank his in 0.01 seconds.

I gobbled all down and then I looked at the glass. I had finished all of it. It wasn't that bad too.

Placing the glass in the sink, we all went and take out bed. It was 10 pm at hnight.
