Chapter 134: Chapter 134
"We should go" I said pulling away, dreading what was coming next "My sisters birthday is tonight, and we both need to get ready" Adrian seemed surprised and even though I didn’t want him anywhere near my parents I knew I had to get it over with
Adrian nodded and let me go to walk towards Gabriel’s grave, he knelt down and sighed "I promise you I’ll take care of her" he said touching the grave. He stood up and turned towards me. "Let’s go"

"Hey, Grace" I said as I caught up with my sister at home, Adrian was in a hotel room getting ready for the party "I’m bringing an extra person okay?"
"Yeah sure" Grace looked shocked "But, who?" I blushed and she squealed "Its a guy isn’t it?" when i didnt answer she squealed again and hugged me "Finally, I’m so happy for you. I want to meet him okay? And he has to meet Eric and they’ll be friends and we’ll go on double dates and..."
"Grace, calm down a bit. We both need to get ready okay? You’ll meet him at the party" I didn’t comment on meeting Eric, I doubted Adrian would like him, I didn’t.
I went to my room and got ready in the dress I bought since my mom didn’t like the one I had with me, I doubted she would like the new one either but she will have to deal with it. I put on light make up and curled my hair and looked in the mirror when I was done, not bad but still...not good enough. I could only imagine how hot Adrian would look and I was so plain. I could hear people start arriving already, the party was going to be in the back yard. There was a huge white tent out back, that movers spent the whole day installing. It looked amazing.
I got out and made my way to the backyard, and looked around at all the people dancing and having fun, including my sister. She saw me and ran towards me, Eric following her.
"Nate you look great!" she hugged me "You already know Eric" she said and I shook his hand, trying not to glare at him "Is he here?"
"Not yet" I said and she pouted. Eric sighed
"Don’t pout Grace I’ve told you that a million times." he said in irritation "And you need to stop dancing so crazily, what will people think."
Grace’s smile faded and she sent me a look when she saw I was ready to snap at him "I’m sorry honey" she said going to kiss his lips, he didn’t even kiss back "I’ll control myself"
"Yeah whatever" he said "And who is the mystery guy Nate keeps yapping to me about" he asked looking doubtful and snobby
"That would be me" Adrian’s familiar voice sounded from behind me and I smiled as I turned and hugged him, planting a kiss on his lips.
"You look breathtaking" He whispered when we pulled away "Absolutely perfect"
"You’re biased" I whispered to him and he frowned and was about to answer when someone cleared their throat
I looked to see Eric looking irritated and annoyed and Grace smiling at us loingly "Sorry" I said "Adrian this is my little sister, Grace and her...boyfriend Eric"
"Nice to meet you" Adrian said shaing Eric’s had firmly, the wo guys stared at each other both assessing the other. "And Happy birthday, Grace" Adrian got the present I hadn’t noticed he was holding and gave it to her "They’re earrings, I didn’t know what you’d like so I went with the easiest." he said guiltily
"I’m sure I’ll love them" She said and put the present on the HUGE table with everyone else’s. I knew my present wouldn’t be so great since I didn’t have enough money to buy something extravagant without my parents money.
Eric and Grace left and I suddenly recognized someone I thought I’d never see "Vanessa" I said happily and she saw me and ran towards me. She looked as amazing as ever
"I should be really mad at you" She said hugging me "We haven’t talked in forever"
"I missed you" I said "How’s everything going?"
"You know the usual, boring." She eyed Adrian "And who’s that?"
"Oh sorry. Venessa this is--"
"Adrian Morgan, her boyfriend" Adrian said shaking Vanessa’s hand. I smiled to myself at the word boyfriend "Nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too. You got a hot one there, Nate. Now if you’ll excuse me I have my own hot man to go to, call me and we’ll hang out"
"Sure" I said and as she left I turned to Adrian "Well you seem to have made everyone I know like you, and made it seem so easy as well"
"It’s a talent" he said and then grinned "Now let’s have some fun"
We spent the whole night dancing and laughing and I had never had so much fun ever. Adrian even danced with Grace and she seemed to love him "he’s like a big brother" She said to me "So sweet"
We sat aside, about to take a breath when I saw my parents walking towards me, I didn’t want them to meet Adrian, I didn’t want to lose him.
"Nate, I say you bought a new dress like I told you" my mom said "it’s not much but better than the last" she glanced at Adrian "And who is this?"
"This is Adrian mom, my boyfriend"
My dad chuckled "You have a boyfriend, Nate. Well I am surprised. Tell me Adrian, how did you meet my daughter"
"I actually met her three years ago, at a party hosted by Vanesa’s father, henry. You might know my parents, they were there too. Bryce and Victoria Morgan."
