Paula’s POV

 

“Pablo, tell me, do you think your mum will accept and approve our relationship?” I asked chewing on my lip nervously.

 

 

“Of course, dear.she will…and who wouldn’t like a gorgeous and kindhearted woman like you? And don’t worry, mum love anything Pablo likes.. So come on! Don’t worry”. He assured me…

 

I nodded, still nervous as we made our way to their front door.Pablo held my hand as we got into the mansion. My eyes immediately roamed the well furnished sitting room.

 

I must confess, their house is very nice.Kindly share out more interesting stories from generalloaded.com using the floating social media icon buttons below

 

” Mum! Mum! Mum am home” Pablo called his mum with enthusiasm.

 

Then click..

 

I heard a a heel sound then another… I quickly darted my eyes towards the stairs to behold the sight of an extremely gorgeous woman in her middle age.

 

She was dressed fashionably in a fitting strapless dress with stiletto heels to match.

 

I looked up and met her piercing eyes on me, but they immediately turned soft when she saw her son.

 

Her bronze hair was cut to shoulder level, she is very pretty and look younger…

 

“Hello! My baby boy!” She exclaimed happily as she hug and kissed him on both cheeks.

 

“Come on, mum! Am no longer a baby, but a full grown man see”, he said demonstrating his muscles.

 

Say that to yourself. You’re still mummy’s boy”. She said with a wink. They look so happy together.

 

I blinked back tears as I remembered my own parents, especially my mom. She was everything to me then.

 

I looked up and they were staring at me.

 

 

Oh my God! I’m such a fool…I mean why tear up in front of your will be in law when I practically wanted to impress her.

 

Pablo noticed my embarrassment and quickly pulled me to his side.

 

“Anyway, what brought you home this early? Hope everything is fine at work?” She asked looking between me and Pablo suspiciously.

 

“Who is she?” Her eyes came in contact with mine again. I presented a forced smile and dropped my gaze to the floor.

 

“Well, mum, I came to introduce someone dear to my heart to you”, he said while placing a tender kiss on my forehead. I tried hard not to blush in front of his mother.

 

Mum,Meet Anna Paula. Anna meet mum, Florencia.” “Nice meeting you, Mrs Florencia”.

 

She only nodded and resumed her conversation with her son.

 

Then she said, “Anna, if you wouldn’t mind, I will like to have a word with my son”

 

“Yes Ma’am. I will just wait here for Pablo”.

 

She flashed me a very fake smile my way and catwalked back inside with Pablo following behind.

 

I tried to make myself comfortable but I just couldn’t. That look…I just can’t pinpoint it…it as if she is not happy. My heart skipped a bit at that thought.

 

Did she like me?

 

Why did he call Pablo inside for a private chat? what are they discussing?. Is it about me? Did she realize who I was?

 

Does she know my dad? Is she aware am from a middle class family? Didn’t I look presentable enough…?

 

 

I kept asking myself this questions and didn’t notice when Pablo came.

 

Can’t stop thinking about me? ” I bolted up at once with a hand on my chest dramatically.

 

“No…I wasn’t. And stop being cocky”.

 

Then who were you thinking of? Am curious, in fact am jealous “, he said feigning annoyance.

 

I pinched his cheeks lightly, ” That’s enough, you know that, I will always think of you right? So now tell me, where is mum?” I asked craning my neck to look around.

 

I looked up at him and couldn’t help but notice the crease on his forehead. Is he worried about something? I decided to look again but they disappeared as quickly as they came.

 

“Don’t worry, mum is kinda tired small so she is resting. So she wouldn’t be able see us off. She will next time. Come on, let’s get going”.

 

” And what did she say about……. ”

 

“Yes she like you a lot and she said she will like to meet you one of an his days soon. I don’t know when but it will be soon.

 

Okay”, I can’t help being more nervous now that she wants to meet me. I didn’t want Pablo to know that I’m nervous because his mum wants to see me so I gave him an assuring smile and allowed him to lead me out of the house to the driveway.

 

We drive back to my my place in silence. With his one hand on my lap, the other on the steering wheel he pulled up in front of my apartment.

 

I glanced at him and dropped my gaze to the hand he had place on my lap. The moment was getting awkward so I quickly said,

 

“Will you like to come in for some…..”

 

I didn’t finish before he pulled me closer and tilted my head to look straight into those brown eyes of his. As if that wasn’t enough, he pulled me more closer and planted a kiss on the side of my lip, lingering there, he nibbled on it softly. My breath hitched as he rubbed my thigh tenderly.

 

I threw my hand around his neck and deepened the kiss. His tongue lurched further into my mouth seeking refuge.

 

I pulled him closer as the kiss got heated.

 

And then, when I thought of moving over to straddle him, he pulled away from me, slowly with his forehead rested on mine

 

Shit! Why would he do that? I thought disappointedly.

 

“Anna”, he called softly.

 

I tried to read his facial expression but as usual, he looked expressionless.

 

He pulled back and said,” Paula, I just want you to know that I really love you and I will fight the whole world just to be with you. I’m here and will always be here for you. You hear me?”

 

His hazel eyes softened and glistened with love, pure love. If there is anything I doubt about Pablo, then is definitely not his love for me.

 

I smiled happily as the sincerity and seriousness of his words dawned on me.

 

I nodded vigorously, ” And I love you to…like a lot”. I whispered blushing profusely.

 

I didn’t wait for him to get out and open the door instead I got out and waved him goodbye. He got out anyway, and gave me a quick hug he entered drove out of the driveway but not before blowing me a kiss.

 

I caught it a laughed heartily .

 

I so much love this dude.

 

But I just can’t stop wondering what he went to discuss with his mum. What could it be?

 

 

Pablo’s POV

 

 

Paula was literally shaking when we got to the front door of our mansion. She was so nervous. I admit mum can be picky sometimes but I think she is cool.

 

She look so beautiful in her flower fitted dress. Her dark her fell below her butt gracefully.

 

I watched her as she tried to straighten up her dress. She looked through the rearview mirror so many times .

I looked at her in amusement… Dammit Paula can you look anymore adorable?

 

“Pablo. Do I look okay? Do you think mum will accept and approve our relationship? I mean will she accept me? She chewed on her lips nervously.

 

And who wouldn’t like my Paula? Don’t worry, she will… Because mom loves what ever I love too. So cheer up.” I said hoping that I have convinced her enough.

 

I called mum after I’ve helped Paula settle in comfortably.

 

She came out looking beautiful as always.

 

“Hello! My baby boy”, she exclaimed happily as she came to hug me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

 

Come on mum, I’m no longer a baby but a full grown man see “, I said demonstrating my muscles.

 

Say that to yourself. You’re still mummy’s boy “, she said with a wink.

 

 

We continued to chat until mum raised an eyebrow towards Paula.

 

She must be missing her parents. I still remember that day when she lost both parents at once..it wasn’t easy.

 

I pulled her closer noticing her uneasiness.

 

” Anyway, what brought you home this early? Hope everything is fine at work? ” she asked looking between me and Paula suspiciously.

 

“Who is she?” Mum asked rather rudely.

 

“Well I came to introduce someone dear to my heart to you”. I said placing a tender kiss on her forehead.

 

Mum, meet Anna Paula. Anna, meet mum, Florencia. “Nice meeting you, Mrs Florencia”.

 

Mum nodded and resumed her conversation with me. She gave me a look that clearly says ‘we need to talk’.

 

Then she said, ” Anna, if you wouldn’t mind, I will like to have a word with my son “.

 

Yes Ma’am. I will just wait here for Pablo. ” she replied sweetly.

 

The moment I closed the door shut behind me, I heard mum ask, “What is she doing here Pablo? And why is she with you?” TBC…..
