"Angel, don't worry. I am here okay. Even if your parents don't accept, I will take you with me. I don't care about who comes in the middle", he said while kissing my cheek. He is sitting beside me with his hand on mine. I smiled at him. We are in our private plane. Oh, actually there was an argument about us going in Zack's plane, but Ryan didn't accept. I convinced Zack to come with us.
"Thank you, Darling". He captured my lips as I turned to him and took my face in his hands. I kissed him back, but soon we heard a throat clearing and found that it is Ryan. He is looking at Zack like he is going to burn Zack alive. I turned to look at Zack and found him doing the same. I sighed and sat back in my seat. Zack was about to pull me in his lap when Ryan talked.
"Don't you dare touch my sister!", Ryan shouted angrily.
"She is mine and I will touch her whenever I want. No one stops me from doing it!", Zack said with same intensity in his voice.
"I am he-", Ryan started but I stopped him.
"Ryan please. I love you both. Don't fight. You know how I hate arguments", I said looking at him. He is still angry. I am having a head ache, so I rubbed my temples.
After a few hours we landed and we came out of the plane. Zach held me by my waist as we walked down and Ryan glared daggers at him all the time. The car is waiting down. I went to the car and Zack opened the car door for me. I sat in and when Zack was about to sit beside me, Ryan pushed Zack out of the way and was about to sit beside me, but Zack pushed him back and sat beside me.
I rolled my eyes at their childish behaviour. Zack pulled me close and held my hand. He kissed my cheek. Ryan sat in the front seat and kept texting in the phone. I feel myself sweating.
"Angel, you are sweating so much", he said and asked the driver to increase the AC.
Soon we reached home and Ryan got out of the car. Zack got out of the car and opened the door for me. I looked at Zack and found him he is so cool. How can he be so cool?! I am shaking with fear here! My hands are shaking. I am very sure that dad will not accept us being together and my brothers, they will never accept.
"Angel, you are shaking. I am here. Don't worry", he said and kissed my forehead. Ryan is walking ahead of us.
We went inside and mom and dad are sitting in the couch of the living room. Dad is like always kissing mom from time to time. He has his hand around her shoulder and mom is giggling like a school girl I looked beside them and found that all my brothers are there. Great! Today is Sunday and everyone is here.
"Dad!", Ryan called out. Everyone turned to look at us. The smile on their faces left as they saw Zack. I tightened my hold on Zack's hand. He did the same to reassure me. Dad stood up and so did all.
"What are you doing here?", dad asked Zack. Before Zack could answer I talked.
"Dad, I-".
"Princess, what are you doing with him?! I told you to stay away from him. He is not good for you. Come here", dad said slowly.
"But dad, I love him".
"Princess, he is just using you. He don-".
"Mr. Witmore. I love Angel with all my heart and don't tolerate you saying that I am using her", Zack said angrily.
"You don't love her", dad said angrily and mom came and stood beside him, placing a hand on him to calm him down, which he did.
"Who are you to say? I don't care what you think of me. I love Angel and it's true".
"I will never approve you both!", dad almost shouted.
"I will also never approve. Princess come here!", Nicolas ordered.
"I don't care who approves and who wouldn't. I am just here to say that, I am taking Angel with me. She is MINE! I don't care what you guys say!".
They are all arguing and shouting and I feel tears gather in my eyes. Mom came to my side and held my hand. She looked into my eyes and she got angry as she saw my tears.
"Enough!", she shouted and everyone stopped. The whole room became quiet. A tear slid down my cheek as I thought of dad not approving us.
"Angel, ar-", Zack was about to say when mom stopped him.
"Stop mister! Don't touch my daughter!", she said as Zack was about to hold me. She held me close to her.
"Princess are you okay?", Tyler said as he came near me. Dad came along with him and so did my other brothers.
"Stop you all! Can't you see that she is crying! I will tolerate anything, but not tears in my baby's eyes. You all stop arguing. Richard, you know she hates arguments!".
"But love-".
"Stop it! I don't care what you guys will do. I can see that this man Zack clearly loves my baby and she loves him back. Why are you behaving like my parents when we were young? Don't see the way this man looks at her. I want you all to clear the misunderstandings or whatever it is. It is just a business rivalry right?! Then clear it! She wants you both. She wants her family and her lover.
Richard, I don't know what you will do. I want my baby happy. I know you want for her to be happy too. Her happiness lies with being with Zack. You guys make amends or I will not talk to you. Amelia will also not talk with you. We are going upstairs. By the time I come down, I want you guys patched up. Got me?", she ordered looking at everyone. All my brothers nodded.
"Love, bu-".
"Richard you are sleeping on the couch for next week", she said and dad instantly stopped. He looked angrily at Zack.
I rubbed my tears away.
"Come on princess. Let's go upstairs", mom said.
"I will also come", Ashton said and came near us. We went up to my room. I sat on my bed and put my head in mom's lap. Ashton sat on the other side.
"Everything will be okay Princess", mom said assuringly.
"Yeah", Ashton said sarcastically and mom glared at him.
"Ashton", mom said and he raised his hands in air.
"He really loves you", Ashton said and I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah and I love him too".
"I approve for you both. Your happiness is all matters to me", he said and kissed my head.
"Thank you Ashy", I said and he scowled at the nick name I gave to him when I was small.
I just wish everything goes smooth and dad and my brothers approve of our relationship. I can go off with Zack, but I want my family too. I want them to approve us. I want them to be part of every big thing in my life. I fell asleep with that thought.
I feel something run on my hair and I feel lips on my forehead and cheeks.
"Angel, come on wake up. It's eight in the night. You didn't eat anything", I hear Zack's voice. I rubbed my eyes and felt him pulling me in his lap.
"Zack?".
"Yes Angel".
"Zack! What did dad say?", I asked excitedly and put hands around his neck.
"He accepted".
"My brothers".
"They too accepted", he said and kissed my lips lightly.
"I knew you would convince them for me".
"You know I love you Angel. I will do anything for you", he said and kept kissing my jaw and neck.
"I love you Darling".
"I love you more Angel", he said and kissed my cheek.
"Wait! Where are mom and Ashton?".
"They went out as they saw mw coming in".
"When did you come in?".
"An hour ago".
"What? You talked with dad that much time?".
"Yeah".
"Now tell me, how did they accept?", I asked.
"Okay. But I will do that while you eat", he said and took the plate from the trolley which I didn't notice till now.
"Okay".
He started feeding me and explained how they accepted us. He said that now we are becoming partners in the company with them. I am so happy. I feel peaceful now.
Richard Witmore's POV
"Love, please", I pleaded her as I sat on the bed. She is combing her hair. She turned to me by hearing my voice.
"No. Go sleep on the couch", she said stubbornly and turned back.
"But love-", I said as I stood up and went near her.
"No
. I don't want to hear anything. You made my baby cry", she said while combing her hair. I hugged her from behind.
"But love, now I made everything right. We are even business partners now", I tried to reason out.
"I know, but-".
"Please Love".
"Fine. But tell me how did you accept and why?". I sighed. I sat on the bed again and pulled her with me. I laid my back on the head board and pulled her beside me. I kissed her forehead and started.
"It was not good at first. We argued a lot. Nicolas, was so stubborn, more than me and was not ready. Then I saw something, I understood something. He is just like me when I was at his age. I saw the craziness he has for my baby, for my princess. You know how much I love her".
"Oh I know", she said sarcastically. I kissed her cheek. We kept giving birth to our boys, because I wanted a girl. She went through so much pain whenever the kids are born and I always thought that we should stop having babies, but I want to see how Eva, my wife, looked like when she was small. I want to play with her. When my beautiful Amelia was born, my heart exploded with happiness.
I wanted to give her every happiness she deserved. But when she got kidnapped when she was five years old, I lost my mind. My Princess is missing and was not able to do anything. However after finding her, I made sure she has the protection. Amelia is my life.
"Baby", I hear Eva call.
"Yes love".
"What are you thinking? You stopped in the middle".
"Sorry. I was just thinking about the time Amelia was born".
"Mm. Boys were so excited", she said smiling.
"You know I accepted him at starting itself when he said that he doesn't care about what we think. I can see how he is possessed with her. I can see his love for her. I can see what he felt, because that is how I felt when I loved you. I can see that she is his life, like you are mine. But I was scared as a father. I wanted my daughter in safe hands. I wanted my Princess happy. That's why I accepted".
"Good", she said while playing with my fingers, something she does always.
"Now about me. I don't want to sleep on the couch", I pouted like a five year old kid.
"Oh please baby. You don't interest me anymore. You don't melt me by showing those pouty lips", she said like she is uninterested.
"Oh really", I said and kissed her lips. She giggled.
"Really".
"Then kiss them once to fall in love with them", I said and kissed her.
Soon we are making love.
Chapter-22
Two Weeks Later
I feel lips on the back of my shoulder. They went to my neck and then to my ear. I feel the lips nibble my earlobe and is tugged with teeth gently. I moved a little.
"Angel", I hear Zack's voice.
"Mmm", I hummed in response not having the mood to wake up.
"Angel, wake up", he said slowly and turned me around to face him. I opened my eyes lightly and hugged him again closing my eyes and cuddled into his body like a kid. He feels so warm.
"I don't want to", I admitted in my groggy voice.
I feel him stand up with me in his arms and started walking. I feel too sleepy and lazy to open my eyes and look. My head is rested against his shoulder. My legs are around his waist. My hands are around his neck. My naked body is pressed against his naked body.
"Zack where are you taking me?", I asked with my eyes still closed.
"To give you a bath", he said like he is taking to a kid.
"Mmm". After a few minutes, I hear him call.
"Angel. Wake up. I should put you in the bath tub. Come one", he said and I yawned.
"Okay", I said and opened my eyes.
He carefully made me sit in the bath tub and he sat in too. The bath tub is filled with bubbles of soap water. I feel happy and peaceful by being in Zack's arms. He ran his hands all over my body and washed every part. He teased me with his hands and kept washing. I giggled whenever he teased me. He kissed my lips, cheeks, fore head, nose, shoulder, breasts tenderly and tugged on my nipples.
"Darling", I moaned, as he kept kissing my neck and I threw my head back. He suddenly pulled back. I gave him a questioning look.
"We are going on a date tonight Angel. So no making love. But after that, we can as much as you want", he said with a smirk on his face. I blushed a bet his chest.
"Darling!".
He laughed and soon washed my hair and then my body. I got out of the tub and Zack helped me making sure that I won't slip in it. He wrapped a towel around me and brought me out of the bathroom as he wrapped a towel around his waist. He made me sit on the bed. He dried my body with the towel that I wore as he took it off my body.
He went inside the closet and came out with a beautiful white dress in his hands.
"Wow! It's pretty Darling!", I said as he came near me.
"I selected it for you after searching so many shops", he said and kissed my lips and pulled away. He was about to dress me when I stopped him.
"Darling, I can wear it".
"I know Angel, but I want to get you ready to the date myself. So don't stop me", he said and put the dress down. He brought a pair of matching lacy bra and panties. He told me to lift my hands up, as he dressed me in my bra and kissed my shoulder from back. He knelt down to put my panties. I blushed as he kissed my thigh.
"Darling!". He smiled teasingly and stood up.
He took the gown told me to lift my arms again. He went to my back and pulled the zip of the dress up. The dress is having sleeves hat went over my shoulder and the cut near the neck is perfect. Not too low, not too high. The dress stopped a few inches below my butt. He nibbled on my neck from back and kissed me there.
"Zack", I moaned out.
"Angel, don't turn around till I say you to", he said.
I nodded my head up and down.
He made my hair and was very careful when combing the knots. He made left the hair down, falling over my breasts to my wait. He put a pair of white diamond studs. He knelt down in front of me and applied light make up on my face. He put my eye liner, mascara. He applied a light pink lipstick. After doing some touch up's, he finally said that he is done.
I stood up and turned to look at myself in the mirror.
"You look so beautiful Angel", he said as he kissed my cheek from back, as he hugged from behind.
"Thank you Darling", I said and kissed his lips while turning in his arms.
"You are welcome Angel. Now I should go get ready. If I keep kissing you, I don't think we will make it there at time", he said and kissed my lips before going inside the closet. I tried to follow him.
"Darling, do you need help too to get dressed?". He turned around.
"Oh I sure like idea. But I don't think I can control myself, feeling your hands all over me. I will get dressed myself. You can dress me tomorrow", he said while kissing my lips and went inside. I blushed and turned back. I came and sat on the bed waiting for him. He came out wearing a pair of white suit and pants, with white shirt under the suit. My eyes widen.
"Darling, we are matching!", I squealed.
"I know", he said smiling and kissed my cheek as he pulled me to him. We both walked outside with hand in hand and we walked to the car. He opened the door for me and I sat in. He came around and sat in his seat. The driver soon started the car.
"Darling, where are we going?", I asked him and I am almost sitting in his lap.
"That's a secret Angel".
"But Darling!".
"No. Don't give me that pouty look and puppy eyes. Not going to work this time", he kissed my pouty lip. I huffed and sat back.
Soon the car stopped with a screech and he went out. He opened my door and gave me a hand to come out. I smiled while taking it and came out. I looked around eagerly and everything is so dark.
"Wait here Angel", he said and told the driver to stand near me as security.
"But Darli-".
"Don't come inside till you are said to".
He went inside and I jus
t stood there. There are a lot of trees here. There are rose plants and different types of flower plants. I saw there are trees also. I am surrounded with trees. What place is this? I hear the driver's phone ringing. He lifted it and talked something. He put the phone in his pocket and looked at me.
"Sir told to take you inside mam", he said and I nodded before walking.
The driver walked close to me. He stopped near a door and opened it for me.
"This is the room mam", he said and I went in. I turned to thank him.
"Thank you".
"You are welcome mam", he said and closed the door. I turned around and everything is so dark. I walked in the dark. God, I am scared of darkness!
"Darling!", I called out in fear.
No response.
"Darling please! I am scared!".
Still no response.
"Darlin-". Then suddenly there was a spot light on me. I put my hand to cover the sudden light. Then heard a voice.
"Angel", I hear his voice. There was another spot light and there stood Darling.
"Darling", I said and went to him to hug him.
"Angel", he said as he ran a hand through my hair.
"You know I am scared of darkness right! Then why did you do this?".
"I am sorry Angel. I want to surprise you".
"Surprise? What surprise?". He smiled and came near me. He pulled out a small red box and opened it. He held my other hand. I gasped as I looked at the box. There is a small ring with a white diamond put on it.
"Angel, I may not be the most romantic person you might have met. So, I don't know how to say all those cheesy lines. I want to put it bluntly. Will you marry me and be by my side life long? I want to have kids with you. I want to watch them grow up. I want to hold you and kiss you when we are old with grey hair. I see all this whenever I hold you in my arms and I want it to be true. So will you?".
He asked and I looked at him in shock. My mouth is wide open. The words he told me are enough to say how much he loves me. I have tears in my eyes. He proposed me!
