Barbecue

___How did this crazy marriage happen?___

Rachel's POV

After everyone had settled and had a sip of their cool drinks, the mood a bit calmer than half an hour ago, Dad cleared his throat, prompting all attention to shift to him.

"Don't you think it's appropriate for you to officially introduce yourself?" He asked in his usual gruff tone.

"As if you don't know who he is," I scoffed under my breath and rolled my eyes at the unnecessary question. I knew as my Dad he was trying to play his role however I couldn't help myself.

"It's fine," Lorenzo mouthed, his walm palm squeezing my thigh, causing sparks on the spot and raised himself to a standing position.

Body facing my Dad, he bowed slightly to my surprise and uttered in a calm tone "It's a pleasure to stand before you sir. I'm Lorenzo Caden Peters, I hope you can accept me into your family as your daughter's husband."
