Chapter 27 #Breakfast with Blakes

Kara blushed when she noticed how intently Dominic was looking at her. Honestly even though she didn't like Dominic she cannot deny that he is one of the most handsome guys she has ever seen. With Blake family's signature frosty blue eyes and unique silver or platinum blonde hair.

"Let's go it's time for breakfast." He spoke.

Kara didn't point it out that he was checking her out after the situation between them was already awkward no need to make it more stifling. Sometimes Dominic is commanding like the heir of Blake's should be. But sometimes he is like this Dominic who gives her butterflies, makes her heart race, and makes her confused about what she feels.

Kara follows him they head to the garden beside pool where a picnic style breakfast is prepared. A lady with graceful style helps workers in arranging the breakfast properly. Probably Dominic and Rebekah's mother. She is wearing dark almost black emerald colour bodycon that reaches just below her knees. She has formal green heels and a sophisticated hair comb on her bun her hair is brown with hint of greys due to age. Her hair doesn't make her look old contrary it adds to her charm. Rebekah has quite same facial features as her mother.

"Mom!"

She looks up at us.

"Good morning Dominic. Who is this young lady?" she says looking at Kara.

"Mom this is Kara a friend of mine. Kara this is my mom."

'I am no friend of his' thought Kara but she didn't say it out loud otherwise what was she doing here at their breakfast table. Well, she could say that she is Rebekah's friend but then it should have been Rebekah who introduced her not Dominic.

Dominic's mother started scrutinize Kara carefully after all this was the first time her son had brought a girl to Sunday brunch.

"A friend?" she raised her eyebrows and asked this of her son.

Dominic smirked at how well his mom knows about his personality.

"I am still in the process of getting out of friend-zone."

Kara was feeling appalled at that, who talks about the person as if they are not present. Especially when the said person is your guest.

"Take a seat dear. Dominic you too."

Dominic comes behind Kara pulls out a chair for her. As Kara sits down, she awkwardly says thank you to him and then he and his mom also sit down.

The table is a whit and circular. Dominic sits in the middle of his mom and Kara.

"Mom did you know that Kara is Rose Eslinyx granddaughter?"

A smile broke out of Dominic's mother's face on hearing that. She raised her head and looked at Kara trying to find any familiarity between both ladies.

"Really?"

She chuckled as she finally noticed the similarity between the young lady in front of her and her favourite Hollywood icon.

"They do have similar eyes." She exclaimed

"Kara, Mom is big fan of your grandmother."

Hearing this Kara was pleasantly surprised. Talking or meeting to her grandmother's fans always fills her with pride. And was amazing that one of the best social elites in the world is her grandmother's fan.

"Oh, I just love her. She is such an amazing actress and a person."

"Yes, we all do. Mrs. Blake."

"Oh dear, you can start calling me Emerald when you start dating my son."

Before Kara could interject saying that she is not dating Dominic. Rebekah's comes from behind her and speaks.

"Mom, it takes lot more to impress a girl than to wake her up from her beauty sleep on Sunday morning at 4 am." She smiles at Kara after saying this.

"Don't tease your brother Rebekah. I am sure he has some tricks up his sleeve to woe Kara." Said his mother while smiling mischievously at Kara and Dominic.

After two minutes Dominic's father also entered to have breakfast, he took a seat in between Rebekah and his wife and Rebekah was sitting beside Dominic from left side.

"Good morning wife, good morning kids." The first part was said while tenderly looking at Emerald. And the latter was aid while he straightened his cuff sleeves.

It is completely clear that Mr. Blake dearly loves his wife and that the couple has a harmonic relationship. After all they are also iconic couple. They initially had arranged marriage and Emerald thought of her marriage as her duty to her family. She was also in love with some other man before marrying Mr. Blake, but later she also fell in love with her persistent husband.

"I agree with you darling; we men of the Blake family know quite well how to win hearts of ladies." Mr. Blake said while looking flirtishly at his wife.

"Did you hear about Mellissa's accident?" asked his wife looking concerned and completely ignoring his previous statement.

"I did. She is completely fine now and has decided to make Kyle stay in L.A. for a while. She realised that life is unexpected and decided to finally spend some time with her son before it is too late."

"Good she thought that way. The boy used to be really lonely at a times without her. And it's not likely that he would have trouble with his studies after all SDI does provide proper online lectures for students who are too busy to come to college on a regular basis."

"Good riddance" muttered Rebekah under her breath. After all she did feel happy not about Mellissa getting into an accident. She quite likes the woman. Kyle's mother is a genuinely a nice woman and has a nice fashion sense it's just that she cannot be considered good at parenting still Rebekah did fell concerned about woman's health. The only thing she is happy about it that she does not have to see Kyle's face every day in college for a while.

After that nobody talked and everybody quietly ate breakfast. The nice atmosphere at starting was gone and tension was there in the air. Kara cannot wait to get out of this awkward breakfast.

After breakfast is done. Dominic decides to drop Kara but is interrupted by his sister.

"I am heading towards campus to pick up Jolene so I'll drop her." Since Dominic has no reason to disagree Kara leaves with Rebekah.
