I starred at myself in the mirror quite satisfied with my look .
Olivia went all out on me , throwing me outfits to try on and she finally decided that this dress was the one .
It was a bronze low neck dress with thin Speggetti straps and stopped and flared out mid thigh .
" Hot " Olivia grins as she handed me my purse .
" Am I great or what ?" Olivia giggled and I nodded smiling .
The door rang and Olivia rushed to get it as my heart pounded in my chest , no doubt that I was a nervous wreck I never properly met Seth's parents in person.
I leave my room and headed down the hall surprised to see my cousin Arya standing at the threshold a wide smile on her face as she looks at me . I rush towards her engulfed her in a tight hug.
" Watch the hair !" Olivia said in panic as she smoothed down my hair making me and Arya chuckle .
" What are you doing here in New York?" I ask Arya as she tucked her bronze auburn hair behind her ears . " I had some business to do here and I decided to stop by - are you going somewhere?" she asks looking at my outfit .
" She's going on a date " Olivia says plopping down the couch licking cookie dough ice cream off her spoon.
" It's not a date its a dinner " I rolled my eyes at Olivia and she sticks her tongue out at me.
" So I heard that your engaged to the millionaire hottie " Arya wiggles her eyebrows at me and I rolled my eyes sitting down on the couch.
" Lucky bitch " Olivia says and I shake my head at her .

" Yeah its a long story " I scratch my head and sighed.
Arya's phone rings and she stares down at it frowning " Whats wrong ?" I ask her and she shakes her smiling the smile not reaching her eyes .
" Everything's fine , I have to head out I'll see you later " she rushes heading to the door opening it .
" Holy shit " Arya says wide eyed as she stared at Seth who had his fist in the air mid-way in the air.
" Hello " Seth greeted Arya who's mouth was hung open.
I stood and Seth's eyes avert to me his eyes scanning me head to toe lingering on my legs his eyes flashing with longing .
" I can literally feel the sexual tension " Olivia says and I shot her a murderous look causing her to smile sheepishly scurrying to her room.
" Seth this is my cousin Arya " I introduced and Seth gave her small smile and she stood unblinking and I nudged her and she jumped.
" Your so hot in person " she blurts out and I stared at her wide eyed and she blushed .
" I-I mean um... I'm just gonna go bye " she rushes away .
" Shall we ?" Seth says and I nod following him to the limo.

Seth's parents house was a mansion , The mansion rested on a hill overlooking the Manhattan city .
We walked through the iron gates and walked up the long stone drive way to the front large double doors .
Seth pressed a button and the double doors automatically opened revealing a extravagant luxurious living room , words couldn't describe the way the inside of the house looked.
My mouth gaped open as I starred up at the crystal chandeliers that probably costed more than my apartment .

" Seth " A tall woman wrapped her arms around him and he stumbled back his eyes wide.
" Rita , what are you doing here ?" his eyes drift to me but I was to busy looking around the house.
" Your mom invited me she said we were gonna have a big dinner " I felt Rita's eyes on me .
I took the time to look at her and she was indeed gorgeous , she had long ginger red hair , tan skin and light brown eyes .
" Hi I'm Rita , you must be Lydia " She gives me a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
" Nice to meet you " I gave her a short grin and I jumped when Seth wrapped his arm around me pulling me to his side , Rita didn't look to happy when he did that.
" We'll be in the dining room " Seth says pulling me alongside of him making me blush as we walk away .
" Who is she ?" I ask Seth as we walk down the long hallway to the dining room.
" She's my ex fiance " he says his jaw clenching .
We reached the dining room and I gasp at how much food was placed on the table , Maryann set down a big plate of turkey and turns to us her eyes the same color as Seth sparkled with happiness .
" Welcome " she hugs me tight and I laugh hugging her back .
" My baby boy " she says pinching Seth's cheek and I giggled as Seth dodged her.
" Baby bro !" A tall man hugged Seth.
He turns to me flashing me a flirty smile and I couldn't help but swoon at his good looks , he was a bit shorter than Seth and his hair was a golden brown , and I noticed that his eyes were two different colors one was light blue and the other was light green swirled with blue.
" You must be Lydia , I'm Milo " he kisses my knuckles looking up at me from under his slender long lashes winking and my cheeks turned red.
" That's enough " Seth says to Milo his tone harsh.
Milo laughs raising his hands up in surrender backing away .
Another man appeared and I noticed he had his mother's looks with the same eye color as Seth he was holding a toddler in his arms and beside him was a beautiful Asian lady with a swollen belly .
" Hi I'm Ryan , this is my son Arrow and my wife Stormy " he smiles show casing dimples .
" I'm Lydia its nice to meet you all " I smile as Seth's father appeared offering me a kind smile as he shook my hand.
" It's nice to finally meet you dear "
Rita enters the kitchen and Milo groans " Mom why did you invite her ?" Milo whines and Rita scowls at him.
" The feelings mutual " Rita hisses at him and they both have a stare down .
" Lets get this dinner started !" Maryann says happily.
