《The Billionaire's Proposal》Meeting The Family

Advertisement

•|•|•

The sun rays that peeked through the window collided with my face causing me to bring the covers over my head. Huh, these sheets are softer than what I remembered. And the bed, it was more comfortable. I rub my eyes and sit up before realizing that this wasn't my room.

"Where the hell am I?" I ask and I suddenly remember.

I guess it wasn't a dream, I actually agreed to marry the famous billionaire Adrian McKeller. Why couldn't it have just been a nightmare? I lay back down on the bed with a sigh as I place my arm over my forehead. Huh, I was actually desperate enough to sign that contract with Mr. Rich. What have I done? The grumble of my stomach distracts me from my thoughts and I decided to go find something to eat. I walk out of the bed and head to the hallway. Wait, what is the way to the kitchen? The direction I took leads me to a door. Great I went the wrong way! Stupid mansion, why'd you have to be so damn big? I open the door and am surprised it was an empty room. Mhmm, they are probably remodeling it or something.

"Jane what are you doing here?" Adrian growls.

I turn around and find him standing there in front of me, shirtless.

"I-I... errr I kinda got lost." I reply as I force my eyes to stare at Adrian's face and not his well toned chest.

"Yeah well let's try not to get lost anymore," He retaliated as his eyes gave me a hard look.

What did I do now? I just got lost and ended up in an empty room, and he got mad for that. Something is wrong with him!

"It's not like I know this place like the back of my hand so it should be understandable if I get lost." I retort.

"Would you like me to draw a map out for you your majesty." Adrian responds sarcastically.

I roll my eyes and start walking away, I wasn't sure where I was walking to but I wanted to get as far away from this man. I wasn't going to argue with him on an empty stomach.

"Where is it you are trying to get to?" He asks and I could sense he had a smirk splattered across his well molded face.

"To the kitchen." I answer.

"Kitchen's the other way." Adrian states just as I start walking to the left.

"Of course it is." I mumble before heading towards the right.

I walk straight and come out at the main staircase. I walk down the stairs as I let my nose guide the way. I could smell eggs, bacon, and the best of all freshly made pancakes. I enter the kitchen to find the cook and a girl? Her back was to me, the only thing I could see was her light brown blonde tipped wavy medium length hair that seemed to shine in the light. She was wearing a red patterned flannel shirt dress and a pair of black boots. My first guess was that she was probably one of Adrian's many sluts. Who knew I was extremely wrong?

"Good morning Ms. Hamilton, how did you sleep?" The cook, Fernando states as I try to shush him but I was too late.

The girl had turned around, and now I had a full view of her face. Her light blue eyes stared at me, as if she was checking me up.

"Who are you." She ask as she raised an eyebrow.

I was about to answer but my eyes diverted from her face to her wild hair, which was all over the place. I bite my lip trying my hardest not to burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Wait, let me guess another one of Adrian's sluts?" She adds and I give her a confused look.

I thought she was another one of Adrian's hook ups?

"Gabby this is Jane, my fiancé the one I talked to you about." Adrian's voice states as a hand is placed on my lower back causing me to jump.

Honestly, can't he give people a heads up, or a warning?

The girl, Gabby jumps off the stool and runs over to me before wrapping me into a warm hug.

"Oh my god I am so sorry, I didn't know. I am so glad to finally meet you." Gabby states as we pull away from the hug.

"Same here." I respond with a smile, not really certain of what to say.

"So have you told mom and dad about the great news?" Gabby asks as she tucks a strand of her silly hair behind her ear.

"No not yet," Adrian starts as he looks at me and then at Gabby again as he continues his sentence. "But since mom and dad want us over for diner tonight, they will find out then."

"Oh my god, I am so excited!" Gabby squeals causing me to let out a small laugh. "So are you going to tell me how you guys met?"

I could feel my heart stop, as realization dawned on me. Adrian never told me the story slash lie we were going to tell his family when they asked this question.

"Well you see," I start off not really knowing what to say next.

I look over at Adrian for help but it seemed like we were on the same boat. The next few words came out from my mouth before I could even process them.

"One day Adrian came in to the Douglas diner and it was rush hour. I was taking the coffee to one of my customers when I bumped into him and spilled the coffee on him. After that he became daily customer at the diner which was were I worked at and slowly each passing day we fell in love with each other, we went on dates. And well one day he just asked me to marry him and now we are engaged."I state before I can even process what I am saying. Well I didn't totally lie half of the story was accurate except for the fall in love with each other and go on dates part. Now that's a total lie.

"Oh shoot, I better getting going. I have some errands to finish up at my job. I will see you guys tonight, bye Jane it was nice meeting you." Gabby states as we walk towards the door.

"You too, bye." I respond with a smile before I close the door. "Your sister seems nice."

"She is, the one you will have trouble with his Angelica." Adrian replies as we walk back into the kitchen to eat our breakfast.

"How many siblings do you have?" I question before I plop some bacon into my mouth.

"Three, Gabby and Angelica who are the youngest they're twins but they don't really look that much alike nor act that much alike. And we also have Daniel the oldest out of the four." Adrian explains.

"Oh cool." I respond as I take a sip from my juice. "Must be nice to have such a big family." I mumble.

"What did you say?" Adrian asks.

"U-uh nothing, just singing yup just singing." I reply with a small smile.

Adrian looks at me suspiciously but I just continue to eat my breakfast.

"Wait, what was that family dinner you were talking about?" I ask as I start to pick up my plates but the maid does it for me.

Guess I have to get used to letting others do stuff for me.

"God why'd I have to chose the one that asks a bunch of questions?" Adrian murmurs but I clearly heard him.

"Well who told you to go around asking a random stranger to marry you." I mumble and it seemed like Adrian heard me, oh well I don't care.

"My mom wants me over for diner, so I am going take you with me so we can tell them we are engaged. Then hopefully dad will agree to hand me down the company." Adrian explains.

"Oh okay, if your majesty doesn't mind me asking what time will the dinner be?" I respond.

"It's going to be at eight but we are leaving at seven twenty five so we can get there on time. My mom hates when people are late." Adrian answers. "So I expect you to be ready by that time."

"Yes sir." I reply as I get up and start making my way to my room.

I let out a long sigh as I rub my temples, who knew being engaged to a stoned face douchebag could be so tiring. I suddenly face palm myself when I realize I didn't tell Angie, the owner of the diner I worked at, that I was leaving. I sigh once again and decided I will just have to go to the diner tomorrow. 'What to do, what to do?' I chant in my mind as I try to think what I should do to keep myself busy. There is a knock at the door which distracts me from my thoughts.

"Come in." I state before the door opens revealing Adrian.

"I just wanted to let you know that I am heading to the office my dad needs me to do something for him. I will see you later, by the time I come back I want you to be ready." Adrian states.

"Okay," I reply. "See you la-"

The door shuts before I can finish my sentence. Such a rule asswhole! I look around the room and I decide I should start putting my stuff away and cleaning up a bit. I grab one of the boxes that were placed near the door and take the tape off. Various of my shirts were placed inside the box, all them well folded. Before I can start unpacking though there is another knock on the door.

I walk over to the door and open it as I state, "What the hell do you need now?!"

I was surprised to find one of the house keeper, Rosalinda I believe was her name, standing on the other side.

"Oh my god I didn't know it was you, I am so sorry." I quickly apologize and the lady gives me a smile.

"It's okay dear, you probably assumed I was Mr. McKeller. He can be annoying at times but you'll get used to it. I am glad he finally found a good girl like you." The lady states.

"Thank you, Mrs.-" I can't finish my sentence since I realize Adrian never told me her last name.

"Call me Rosa," The lady responds I give her a smile.

"What may I help you with Rosa?" I ask.

"Oh I came here to unpack your belongings and put them away." Rosa answers.

"Well I was just about to do that, it's fine you can take some rest I will do it myself." I reply.

"I won't steal anything if that's what you're worried about, Mr. McKeller ordered me t-"

I cut her off and state, "Mr. McKeller said to do as I say and I am telling you that it's okay I can do it. And of course I know you won't steal my stuff it's just I having nothing to do and well that's the only thing that can keep me distracted."

"As you say Ms. Hamilton, if there is anything you need don't hesitate to call me." Rosa replies before walking down the hall.

I plug my iPhone 4 onto the cheap speakers I was able to buy a couple of weeks ago and Side by Side by Ariana Grande ft. Nicki Minaj starts playing.

I run around the room trying to find something to wear. It was already six forty and I wasn't ready. I look through my closet and search through until I find something decent to wear. I know they weren't going to be my real in laws but I still had to make a good first impression. I grab my clothes and head into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I place my clothes of the sink counter before I begin to strip out of my clothes. I turn on the water and adjust it to my liking before entering the shower tub. The warm water cascades over my body relaxing my tense muscles. I quickly wash my body and hair before rinsing the soap out. Once I am ready I grab the beige cotton towel that had a capital m and k on it. I wrap another one around my hair as I quickly dry myself and rub lotion onto my body and legs. I put on my white lace panties and matching bra on before putting on my navy blue jeans. I grab the white shirt and put it on as well as the white cardigan sweater. I wrap a brown belt around my waist before putting on my heels.

I quickly start applying some light make up giving it a natural look. I blow dry my hair and let it fall into wavy curls that framed my face. I walk out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. It was already seven ten, so I quickly pack my phone into my clutch bag as well as extra makeup and money. There is a knock on the door and I walk over to open it.

"Ms. Hamilton, Mr. McKeller is waiting for you downstairs in the limousine." One of the maid states.

Wow didn't even bother to come inside the house to pick me up.

"Thank you I will be down there in a bit." I walk over to my vanity and add some perfume before heading downstairs.

The butler opens the door for me and I give him a grateful smile. I walk down the front stairs and step into the awaiting limousine but not after thanking the chauffeur for opening the door for me.

"You look decent, enough to meet my mother's expectations and make her think I am actually changing." Adrian states as he takes in my appearance before looking back down at his phone.

Most fiancé's tell their girlfriends that they're looking stunning or beautiful but hey Adrian isn't most fiancé's.

"Thank you for the very bad compliment." I reply with a fake smile.

Adrian just rolls his eyes and I look out the window of the limousine. We drives past the busy streets that I have been dying to explore ever since I moved here but unfortunately I never really had the time to do so. Maybe one day I will be able to, and hopefully it will with my future loving boyfriend or husband. Can't wait until that day arrives.

***

The car comes to a slow stop and I predict we are finally at our destination. My heart starts beating faster every passing second. I am more nervous than I should be, probably because Adrian and my future depend on this very moment. The chauffeur opens the door for us and Adrian steps out first. He extends his hand out for me and I take it. Time to get the acting started. My eyes stared in awe at the humongous mansion standing in front of me.

"This is a mansion?" I ask Adrian and he nods. "It looks more like a castle to me."

The building was twice the size of Adrian's mansion. As we near the stairs I notice two figure standing at the top of the stairs both dressed in pretty expensive looking clothes. I then felt insecure about myself but my inner confidence told me to keep my head up and be ask confident as I can. The lady was tall maybe a little taller than me due to her heels, her light brown hair, which was the same color as Adrian's if not a bit lighter, was placed into a neat chignon making her look rich and powerful, she had on a beigish goldfish dress that fit her well. Next to her was a man taller than me, he had bright blue eyes like Gabby's and dirty blonde hair.

"Adrian darling welcome." The lady who I am guessing is Adrian's mom, Mrs. McKeller, states. "And who might you be?"

"I am-" I am cut off my Adrian who answers, "Mom this is Jane, my fiancé."

"Fiancé?" His mom asks surprised. "I didn't even know you had a girlfriend in the first place."

"Hello my darling." Mrs. McKeller states as she hugs me. "It's really nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, too. Both of you." I reply as we pull away.

"Well let's go inside, Gabby is already here and Angelica won't be able to make it." Mrs. McKeller explains.

"Oh that's alright." Adrian replies as he places his hand on my lower back and leads us inside the mansion. "How about Daniel, is he going to come?"

"We honestly don't know, we always invite him but he never shows up." Mr. McKeller responds.

We walk into the dinning room which was huge, bigger than my room!

"Adrian, Jane it's nice to see you again." Gabby exclaims as she walks over to me and gives me a hug.

"It's nice to see you too." I reply with a smile.

"Well take a seat diner will be served shortly." Mrs. McKeller states before disappearing into the kitchen.

"So Jane so tell me, what do you parents do for a living?" Mr. McKeller asks after we take a seat.

A gulp lump in my throat as I try to hold back some tears.

"My parents died in a car accident when I was three." I state as bite my lip.

"I am really sorry to hear that, but now that you're engaged to my son we will be your family." Mr. McKeller responds and I give him a grateful smile.

'More like temporary family' I state in my mind.

"Yeah, thank you." I reply just before Mrs. McKeller walks in with the maids and food.

"Diner is here." She states before the maids start serving us our diner.

***

"So Jane are you okay if we meet tomorrow to start planning the wedding?" Mrs. McKeller asks.

I smiled at her and was about to reply but once again Adrian cuts me off. This guy is really rude!

"She can't mom, Jane and I have work tomorrow. Dad agreed to let Jane work as my personal assistant." Adrian answers.

"As long as there is no baby making going on during work hours it's fine by me." Mr. McKeller states making me almost choke on my wine.

"Well how about this weekend, would that be alright with you?" Mrs. McKeller asks.

"Yeah, the weekend is perfect." I reply with a smile.

"Ou I am tagging along too." Gabby states.

Suddenly we hear something for drop outside of the room before a drunken figure appears in front of us. He had dirty blonde hair, blue eyes like Adrian's and a muscular body.

"Daniel are you drunk?" Mrs. McKeller asks in disbelief.

"No," the guys answers as he makes his way towards me. "And who may this hot chic be?"

He grabs my hand and kisses it but I quickly pull it out of his grip.

"Leave Jane alone Daniel." Adrian states as he pulls me towards him.

"Of course another one of your little hoes." Daniel states and my mouth drops.

"Watch your language young man, that's Adrian's finance, your future sister in law you are talking to." Mr. McKeller states.

"Did the idiot knock you up? That's why he is marrying you?" Daniel asks.

"I knocked nobody up, I am marrying Jane because I love her." Adrian answers.

"Haha what a good joke." Daniel replies. "Oh wait your serious, damn I never thought you would fall in love you know after what happened with Leila."

What is this guy talking about?

"That's enough Daniel, come with me." Mr. McKeller exclaims before dragging Daniel out of the room.

"Jane and I should get going." Adrian states as we get ready to leave.

"Really, I am so sorry about what Daniel did." Mrs. McKeller answers.

"It's okay mom, don't be sorry for the stupidities that idiot does. I will call you tomorrow, Jans needs to get some rest since we both have work tomorrow." Adrian replies.

"Oh okay, well it was nice meeting you Jane and I will see you on Saturday." Mrs. McKeller states.

"It was nice meeting you too, I will see you on Saturday take care Mrs. McKeller." I reply.

We say our last goodbyes before stepping into the limousine and heading back home.

"Well she likes you so mission accomplished." Adrian states and I nod.

When we reach our mansion I step out of the car but Adrian doesn't.

"I have to go somewhere, I will see you tomorrow." He states before stepping back into the limousine.

I sigh before walking into the house and getting for a well deserved sleep. It has been a pretty long and tiring day.
