Frankfurt, Germany [2]

I changed my clothes and washed my face, my mind still racing to respond to what I had just heard. Maybe for other people this is a windfall Cinderella story where luck will side with the woman who is loved by a rich and handsome prince, but I have a little difficulty taking that side's point of view, capturing prosperity is happiness.

I prefer that this is just a dream that is coming to an end, although I know exactly, those who are trapped in a dream will not experience the beauty of realism, but ecstasy. I hope this is just a dream, I prefer Valter was an ordinary person, rather than Valter with an aristocratic background.

I made sure that the make up I put on was perfect, my clothes in excellent condition before I went to the family room, where Valter's parents would be waiting. Once again I took a deep breath, and invited the woman in the mirror to talk. "No matter how good you polish it, you are just a monkey dressed like a princess, but you are still a monkey, you won't not turn into a princess." I said to myself in the mirror.

It's an overflow of how depressed my self-confidence is when comparing mine and Valter's background.

I stepped into the family room following Valter. I looked around the room decorated with a neo-classical design. There were golden decorations, matching the colored sofas, with paintings and artworks neatly lining the upper walls of the room as well as carvings in the ceiling.

"This is my father," said Valter. "Father, this is Jade, my lover."

I reached across the small table and shook his hand politely.

"Nice to meet you, sir," I said stiffly. "I'm sorry. I've only heard a little about Valter's parents." Standing up straight, looking into his eyes and trying to be as relaxed as possible.

His name is Odolf, and he looked about 60 years old, smiled a little with a stiff nod, whatever that meant. His eyes radiated a smart and conscientious person, a neat mustache, there were small wrinkles on his face that could not cover the handsome side of his youth.

"And this, my mother," continued Valter, his hands pointing openly pointing at a woman who was sitting neatly on the corner sofa.

I walked over, shook her hand and looked into her eyes respectfully. The woman's name is Maloree. She has an aristocratic face, and looked elegant in her white clothes. She looked tall and slender, it is clear that this woman pays attention to her appearance. Her hair is shiny white adding to her maturity. Her eyes looked warm but didn't smile as if they had an imaginary line that limited new people to enter their lives.

"Welcome to our house, Jade," Valter's father said, watching me. I felt his eyes trace every inch of my body movement.

"Thank you. Nice to meet you." I said with a smile.

"I hope you can enjoy your holiday with Valter in Frankfurt," he added.

Everything goes smoothly without a lot of drama, Germans are known for not having much pleasantries, and tend to be cold towards new people and very formal. It's not that they are arrogant, or hate you. They value people the way they are, they are people who I think treat others sincerely. They aren't superficial and pretend to be cute, they really respect other people's right to privacy.

I looked at the expansive garden behind Valter's house from the balcony of the room I was in. On the left side it was full of blooming flowers, there was a fence covered with plants with small flowers growing. In the middle there was a large expanse of grass that was used as an 18 hole golf course. The soil structure is slightly hilly, lush trees are neatly arranged and the bunkers are large and small to make the field area even more challenging.

This place is so big, each room has a different design, there was even a library, theater room, music room, a room with a large bar where almost half of the walls are filled with wine and beer, as well as a special room filled with large collections of antiques.

I jumped in surprise, by the movements of the hands that hugged me from behind, the scent of Valter's perfume slowly sedated me, my heart felt like it stopped beating for a few seconds, and suddenly it skipped a beat the next. I returned his hug by placing my hand over Valter's hand who hugged me from behind. Valter kissed my hair and kissed me from behind, for a moment I stood still, my body shivered by his kiss, I immediately turned my body, positioned my body right in front of Valter.

I watched Valter's face closely, he was so handsome, blue eyes glistening with a shady gaze, Valter brought his face closer to mine, so that our distance was so close, this is one of the moments that I usually call a critical period, the feeling where the body feels light, as if hypnotized at the point of comfort on the verge of limits and seemed helpless to give up in his warm embrace. I returned Valter's warm kiss, for a moment I was carried away by the atmosphere and circumstances, but managed to take control in the next minute. I released myself from the strongest magnetic pull, and change the topic by opening the conversation.

"I thought you had a private room in this great castle, but it seems you are hanging around more in my room." I said mockingly. "hmm... That is no longer valid, because I decided to share a room with you," he said. Turning to invite me into the room.

"What? What if your parents find out we share a bed." I said wide-eyed.

Valter sat me in his lap, "Jade, my parents already know that we live together in Munich." while playing play with my hair.

"Oh." I muttered.

Today I seem to feel that Valter is a little out of control, several times he keeps clinging not far from me, he kisses me even though he is in the open space of the house. Is it because the atmosphere of home and going on vacations makes him relax a little so that he demands more time to be intimate?

"Can I ask you something?" I said spoiled.

"Of course. You don't have to ask every time you want to ask something."

"If I pay attention, lately, it seems you are more excited, Valter." I said still sitting on Valter's lap. "What's the reason?"

"Hmmm... a stronger relationship, trust, love, encourages me to always want to be close," he said. "You want something more than that?" I asked again. Valter hugged my waist tightly and buried his face in my long hair. "I'd love to, but I'm willing to wait until you're ready," he whispered softly.

My phone started to ring... Beep... Beep...

"Hello." I answered

"Jade, are you in Frankfurt?" Mia said across the street.

"Yes, I arrived yesterday. Today I planned to visit you," I said.

"Have you met Valter's parents? What do you think of them?" Mia asked.

"They are quite good. Why did you never tell me Valter's background before? You guys set me up in a pretty difficult position, without preparation." I said in a sulking tone.

"Hahahahaha. I didn't mean to hide anything Jade. I'm glad to hear that you're fine. Hurry over here, I can't wait to meet you. Oh yes, would you like to be a witness for the civil ceremony tomorrow?" Mia said cheerfully.

"Of course. See you." I replied ending the conversation.
