Not Your Typical Billionaire

Meeting the Family again

It’s the day before the ball and Ezra is asking me to come over and meet his family or I should say properly meet his family. I’m 100% nervous since it’s his whole family; I mean I thought I would have just met his father before everyone else. I remember his mother and thankfully she remembers me. I’m glad she does because that means one less person I have to introduce myself to. I have always loved his mother, she is like the mother I’ve always wanted but never really got.  Well I won’t say never got, since Alice likes to treat me like family, I swear it will be funny when El and Michael get married. I’ll be her daughter-in-law that also is her live-in chef. 

“Come on my queen, I promise they’ll be on their best behavior. Not to mention my mother would love to see you again.” Ezra said as we were sitting in his office at the hospital, I don’t have much to do these days with the Wilsons being gone for vacation. It’s a nice little vacation for me but I do miss working on a set schedule. A lot of the housing staff has gone away for the holiday so I cook for maybe 10 people out of 100. Ezra started rubbing my inner thighs as I typed on his computer looking for a dress.

“Fine, we can do dinner for just your parents. I’m not really ready for meeting your whole family again.” I said turning my head to face him.

“That’s perfect”—

“By the way when were you going to tell me you have a twin sister?” I asked turning back to the computer. He groaned before wrapping his arms around my waist, he laid his head on top of mine.

“I was planning on it around your birthday. I wanted to give you something nice and I would have had Evie grab it for you.” He said

“What was that?” I asked

“I’m still thinking of doing it so I’m not going to tell you.” He said I giggled before pulling up a picture of a red strapless dress. I turned my head to him before moving my head over so he could see. “I don’t think you should look at anymore dresses.” He said

“I need one for tomorrow night, I need to keep looking.” I said

“Well here I can take you shoppin”— I shook my head turning back to computer. He knows that I’ll never be able to really look without everyone trying to get me to wear something to make him happy.  Plus I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing that expensive crap; I would be scared to get anything on it. “Well you can’t sit here looking for a dress.” He said

“Let’s just focus on dinner with your parents tonight.” I said as I continued looking at the website.

“Well its 2 hours from now, do you want to just go home and get ready.” he said

“Ezra I just need to find something I can pick up tomorrow.” I said as he grabbed the mouse from my hand. “I waited too late to find a dress.” I said I even talked to the priestesses and they told me I couldn’t work the kitchen. That I had to attend the ball, Sharon has been too busy with her training to help me. El has been saving her strength for tomorrow so that just leaves me, and with Ezra whole family showing up I don’t have anywhere to really relax outside of the kitchen. Jacob still feels guilty about what he did so he won’t go out with me; this whole thing is just a mess. I wish someone would just pick a dress for me; I let out a soft groan before climbing off of Ezra’s lap. I appreciate that we can meet in his office at the hospital since the other one is being stalked by paparazzi. Lucky they can’t come to the hospital anymore because this is a hospital for special care.

“You’ll find a dress my queen just please don’t give let this upset you.” He said

“Tell me what is like biting someone?” I asked turning to him, I really need a distraction right now.

“I’ve never bitten anyone I get my blood from a bank.” He said shrugging his shoulders, really never? I would think that he would have bitten at least one person. “I’ve never wanted to bit anyone, and besides that an act intimacy to us. I would only want to do that with you.” He said

“So does that mean…you’re…you know?” I asked refusing to say the word. He chuckled before turning off his computer.  

“You’re asking if I’m a virgin, I’m not going to tell you.” He said standing up from his desk; I looked away from him trying to cover my face as it grew warmer. “Either way, you’ll be upset with my answer. I’m not going to tell you. If I say I am you’ll feel like your not pure enough for me. If I say I’m not you’ll be upset that I didn’t wait for you or you’ll compare yourself to them.” He said

“I wouldn’t be upset or compare myself I’m just curious. You know I’m not a … you know but I don’t know if you are.” I said

“You don’t need to worry about that. What is my favorite color?” he asked

“Its yellow, but"—

“What’s my favorite food?” He asked cutting my off.

“Ezra I see what you’re doing but that still doesn’t answer me.” I said he snaked his arms around my waist. I looked up at him as he smiled at me, “Your favorite food is veggie lasagna with a glass of blood.” I said

“Who did I pick to be with forever?” he asked

“You picked me.” I said

“So why does it matter if I’m a virgin or not?” He asked I let out a sigh of defeat before pulling away from him. “I’ll pick you up at 6?” he asked as I walked over to the door. I turned my head to look at him before nodding.

“Yeah I’ll be ready, and I’ll be dressed in semi casual but remember I’m keeping my heels on until they leave.” I said

“They know you’re short my love. They found your heels in my bedroom; they know you wear 6in heels.” He said rolled my eyes man I hate being 4’11, there are children taller then me. I shook my head before walking out of his office; I headed to El's room to see she was studying for her. She looked up from her books to see me as I walked into her room, waved before putting her finger up to her lip. She then pointed to her phone as a voice filled the quiet room; I nod my head before blowing a kiss to her. I walked back out of the room closing her door quietly, I’ll text her in an hour. As I walked to the exit when my phone rang, I pulled it down to see it was Alice calling me. I answered it only to hear children scream, I pulled the phone away from my ear as I reached my car.

“Dre, sorry I told them to go dive in the pool and they just made all of the other children scream. How are you?” Alice asked

“I’m having trouble finding a dress for tomorrow, but other then that I’m good. How vacation? Is everyone having fun?” I asked as I climbed into my car.

“Everyone is fine, the heat is nice. Daniel did get a little sun burn from our hike yesterday. Why won’t you just borrow one of my dresses? I’m not using them anytime soon. You’re just stressing yourself out for no reason.” She said

“I don’t like super fancy stuff and your dresses are like from Galas and charity events where you’re trying to be the center of attention. I don’t want that, I just want a dress I feel comfortable and beautiful in.” I said

“Well at least give them a look if you don’t find anything tonight. I’m not going to find it tonight since I’m having dinner with Ezra’s parents.” I said oh wait I was supposed to not tell them that.

“Wait you’re meeting his parents?! What the heck? Why am I just hearing this now?” she asked

“You always go over board when I tell you about us. When I told you about our mini date you cancelled Daniel’s business dinner so I could go spend time with him.” I said

“Well what do you expect when I hear you two are actually dating? I mean damn I ask how he is and you fail to mention he’s been sleeping in your bed.” She said

“Its not like we’re having s*x, we’re just sleeping. He comes over and we have dinner then go to bed. I come to work and he goes to work in the morning, were like a married couple without the sex.” I said she started laughing into the phone, I rolled my eyes as I pulled into my drive way. I swear she thinks this is adorable but honestly he’s never pushed me for s*x. In fact we only have been making out but I do ask him if he wants more. He tells me we can wait until I’m comfortable with moving forward. Heck he even tells me to take charge if that what makes me happy.

“Well maybe if you stop acting like he’s going to hurt you maybe you could have sex.” Alice said

“Alice, stop it! We’re not in a rush to have s*x; we are happy the way we are. I’ll call you tomorrow I gotta get ready for tonight.” I said hanging up as I started getting out of my car; I walked up to my door only to hear Lysander getting up from in front of the door. He has a doggie door to go out if he chooses I know I’m gone a lot these days but I’m not really working. I walked in to see him running around in a circle in front of me; I smiled bending down for him to come into my arms. I rubbed his head closing my arms around him; he licked my face wagging his tail. “Hey baby, I missed you too. I would take you with me but I can’t bring pets into the hospital. Ezra did say I could bring you to dinner tonight. Let’s go get ready” I said standing up; I headed upstairs taking a quick shower.

I took my hair out of my bantu knots before I fluffed it out in a tight curl. By the time I get dressed and Ezra comes my hair should fall perfectly; I smiled as Ly jumped up on the bed. Ly laid down watching me as I slipped on a pair of dark blue jeans. Now I need a really flattering top, one that covers my stomach so I don’t have to suck it in. Why can’t I just go to the gym and workout? I have so much time to go now but I’m too freaking lazy and I have so much going on right now.

That’s it I may go to the gym when most of everything is over with, I mean I am allowed to use the gym here. Maybe I should stop eating everything sweet in front of me; I need to finish getting ready. I’m not trying to make myself depressed about eating for a very important dinner! A knock on my door before it opened as I headed into my closet, I grabbed a deep purple light long sleeve sweater with medium side cowl neck. I slipped on my black high heel boots as Ezra popped his head into my closet. I smiled as he walked up to me to hand me roses, he leaned down as I grabbed my lip gloss.

“My god, look how beautiful you look. I swear you get more beautiful every time I see you. I should cancel dinner to have you all to myself. I love the simple look, not too flashy but not too under dressed.” He said I turned to him narrowing my eyes to him. He never tries to compliment me this hard unless he has something serious to tell me.

“What did you do?” I asked turning to face him.

“I didn’t do anything, Marie decided to take my car out shopping and some paparazzi snuck on to the grounds. I don’t want to bring you over so I invited my parents here, but they can’t enter the house just yet.” He said I walked out of my closet and over to my balcony into my living room to see the door open wide. His mother leaned as close as possible into the door looking up at me; she waved smiling before turning away.

“Ezra this isn’t going as planned.” I said turning to him  

“I’ll help you cook and I’ll even send them home and help you clean and I’ll even buy you everything you need for the next month.” He said

“Ezra I don’t have any food here! I was going to go shopping tomorrow before the ball." I said

“Can we borrow some from main house? Then we can just buy all of that again for the main house.” He said I turned to the door before releasing a little bit of my powers to lower my barrier. “Come in.” he said they walked into the house, his father closed the door before looking up at us.

“Do you swear to never do me harm, be it physically, mentally, or emotionally?” I asked trying to hold the shield down.

“I swear on my children.” His mother said she turned to her husband who looked confused before elbowing him in the ribs.

“Yeah I swear.”  He said

“By breaking your word, you will be subjected to extreme pain until you exit my property. Do you understand and accept this?” I asked

“Yes we do.” He said I sighed releasing the barrier to return to protecting this house. I turned to Ezra shoving him over to the stairs.

“I’ll keep my parents busy while you grab everything we need.” He said before walking down the stairs. I can’t believe that nothing in my life is going right. I snapped my fingers teleporting myself into my kitchen; I grabbed a bag stuffing some random ingredients in the bag. I can’t believe I’m stealing from my job to impress my boyfriends’ parents! I grabbed a block of my ice box cookies, I sighed before snapping my fingers to teleport myself into my own kitchen I looked up to see Ezra pouring wine in 4 glasses. He smiled as I empty the bag onto the counter, he handed me a glass as someone let gasp from the other room. I looked over to see Ly walked down the stairs, Ezra’s father seems scared while his mother is calling over for Ly to pat him.

“Lysander!” I called out to him he turned his head to me as I motion my head for him to go back upstairs. It’s too early to introduce them to Ly, they may think he’s a werewolf but no, he’s just a big baby wolf. He snorted before shaking his head; he walked back upstairs, yeah he’s mad at me now but give it a minute and he’ll understand.

“Oh but he’s so cute, could you please call him back down?” She asked

“I think its best if Lysander stays upstairs until I’m done cook, he normally stand at my feet when I do. He’s a greedy little boy but I can’t have him do that while guest are here.” I said as I started to sip my wine.

“Father is scared of Lysander so we have to keep all interaction to a minimal.” Ezra said before taking 2 of the glasses and walking over to them. “He’ll be down later for his dinner. Besides sometime he likes to hunt for his own food.” Ezra added

“Why does it matter if Jack is uncomfortable? I want to see the werewolf.” His mother said I started to boil some water; I grabbed pasta, vegetables, salmon, and heavy cream. I can make some alfredo sauce but I need parmesan, I turned to Ezra as he smiled at me.

“I need parmesan,” I whispered leaning over the counter, “There wasn’t any in the main house. Madison is a vegan so I try to keep normal cheese away house. So no one will mistake it as normal cheese and feed it to her.” I continue to whisper.

“Here I’ll take my father and we will get some.” He whispered back leaning over the counter to talk to me. “That way he doesn’t kick himself kicked out of the house before really talking to you and mother can talk to you.” He whispered

“Find, but don’t be too long.” I said he smiled before leaning over to place a kiss on my forehead.

“Father we need to make a quick trip.” Ezra said standing up straight he turned to his parents as his mother walked around looking at all of my pictures.

“Why do I have to go take your mother with you?” He said

“Because I want you to come with me to pick out some flowers for this double date; also I don’t want you hurt Dreya and get kicked out.” Ezra said

“I won’t touch her”—

“Just go with your son to get me some flowers at least.” His mother cut her husband off as she turned to face him.  His father stood up from the couch, Ezra walked with him outside to of the house. Ezra smiled at me as he turned to close the door. I smiled before turning my attention to the vegetables.
