Chapter125: meeting Alex's parents 2

I walked to Alex who was staring at the direction his mom left. I really feel bad for him right now. He just came home after a long time and his mother didn't even mind talking to him. How much does she hate him? Every mother would love her son and would miss her son no matter the mistake committed. She didn't even look at him or seem like she cared at all.

"Heeey baby."I called him to get his attention and break his mind from wherever thoughts he was having. He looks Hurt and broken and I felt ache in my heart for him. Fuck his mom, she can be rude to me as much as she wants to be to me but she should treat her son like her son.

I hugged my man. I feel like he needs this hug a lot. He immideately hugged me back tightening his grip on my waist and he rested his head in my hair."I'm really sorry about my mom."he said after a few minutes of silence.

"I know."I said and he pulled away from the hug.

"I just don't know what to say to her. My relationship isn't great. She hates me because she blames me for killing my sister. I just thought that maybe, just maybe her attitude would have changed now that I brought a wife home. I thought that she would be happy for me but... I just feel really hurt and disappointed and broken. Baby, I am really sorry I didn't speak for you. I know I should have but I don't know what I should have said. I .. baby... I ..."he said his voice sad and I couldn't bear it anymore. I hugged him immediately to hide my tears that were threatening to fall.

"It's okay honey. Everything will be fine. You got me, you don't have to worry about anything. Your baby will always be here for you."I told him and I bet I heard a sob from above me.

"I love you."he said his voice horse.

"I love you too honey. Do you want to get out of here. You don't have to be here. We can go somewhere else where your mind will at least calm down."I told him.

"I'm calm. I just need this hug for a little seconds."he said and I hugged him tighter. His mother hasn't even bothered to come and check and see what might have taken so long. We've stayed here for a while and she didn't bother to check if we left or we are still here.

Alex got out of the hug and I looked at him. I tiptoed and I kissed his lips and then kissed his forehead and cheeks and lastly chin. When I was getting done, he was smiling at me." What?"

"Can you please be kissing me like that? I really like that."he said and I blushed.

"Yeah. Anything for you honey."I said and then he looked at me for a while and he took my hand holding me at my wrist. He led me to the dining table where we found everyone sitted but they had not started eating. Why aren't they eating already? 

We sat next to each other but then I noticed someone I have not seen before at the end of the table. He looked old but still looking great with his grey hair. He was staring at me and I looked at him and smiled. I held Alex's thigh below the table to at least intervene.

"Grandpa, you are scaring my wife."Alex said looking at the old man who then shifted his gaze at Alex. He is his grandfather? And why didn't he let me greet him? Now he also thinks bad of me like my dear mother in law over here.

"Just because we were together a few hours ago don't mean you can't greet me again grandson. I wanted to meet your wife but now look what you have done. You have made our meeting so awkward. I want to talk to your wife after breakfast in private in my study."Alex's grandfather said looking at me and I felt a chill run down my body. I tightened my grip on Alex's thighs but he brought his hand and squeezed my hand in assurance everything will be fine.

"Sure grandpa. Just don't scare her like you are now."Alex said smiling at me and I smiled back. Oh my God, I'm gonna faint today. Wait, did his grandfather say that Alex was with him a few hours ago? So that's why he was not in bed when I woke up? He had a meeting with his grandfather?

"Okay, now that Alex is here, we can start eating our breakfast."his grandfather said and I looked at Alex. They were waiting for us? Okay, that's a twist.

Anyway, we started eating our breakfast. It was silent and I looked at Alex's mother and I saw her staffing food in Val's plate not caring about her husband at all. What the hell?" So, my dear Kimberly, I heard from Alex that your grandma knows my late wife.?" Alex's grandfather said and I looked at him while I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

"Yeah, they were best friends. My grandma said they were best friends back in the day. And I'm sorry for your loss...."I stopped wondering what I should call him.

" Grandpa, just call me grandpa. And thanks. I would like to meet your grandma. It's true my late wife was best friend with your grandma. Is she still in Georgia?" 

"Yeah."I replied.

"Great. Don't forget to meet me after this in my study. Ask Alex to show you my study."he said then he stood up and left. I'm really nervous right now because I don't know what it is he's gonna talk to me about.

"Just relax baby. Everything is gonna be fine."I heard Alex say and I nodded and we continued eating breakfast.

"Mom, how have you been?"Alex asked all of a sudden and I looked at him then at his mom who continued eating.

"What do you think?"his mom said looking at Alex with no emotions on her face. Alex's lips parted to say something but before he could speak, his mother continued." You are good for nothing, you know that right.? Now please, just shut the hell up and be ready to talk to me when Valentine here has a ring on her finger. Marry her first then ask me the stupid question."his mom said.

"Elizabeth, what the fuck?"dad asked angrily and his wife shrugged. I looked at the Hurt look on Alex and I felt like I need to speak. I know it's my first time meeting this woman but he won't disrespect my husband Infront of me.

"You know something mother in law, I'm really disappointed in you. I have to admit that I didn't expect to meet someone so rude but voala, here you are. You can be rude to me all you want but leave your son the hell out of it. No one is supposed to be rude to him even himself is not supposed to be rude to himself do you hear me?"I said angrily.

"Who are you to talk to me like that? He's my son and I can talk however I want with him "she said and I looked at her disappointed.

"Baby.. that's enough."Alex said but I'm far from stopping. This woman in the name of his mother needs some words that will bring her to her senses.

"I'm his wife and I'm starting to think he's not your son at all. When have you ever been a good mother to him? A caring mother and a loving mother? All you do is hate him and scold him. Is there time you have ever been a  proud mother to your son? Mothers are supportive and caring to their children so I'm getting surprised when you say he's your son. He's not. He's my husband and no one, Mark my words, no one whoever they are, are allowed to disrespect him in my presence."I said looking at her in the eye and I could see how her lips were pursed. She was beyond mad but the thing is, I  don't care.

"Is that what you lie to your wife about me Alex?"his mom said and I laughed.
