LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT - SEASON 2 CHAPTER 37
“Wow, goodness gracious!” Josh burst out in amazement as his jaw dropped when he saw the grandeur of Keira’s mansion as soon as the gate opened and they headed towards the Chan’s Mansion.
“It’s their house here in the City right? I heard they have a lot of properties in other places too. Wow! Big Bro, you have really hit the jackpot. Beauty, brains and wealth! Oh I’m envious…” Josh exclaimed.
“Ouch!” Josh cried as her mom hit his head.
“You watch out your mouth in Keira’s house or I’ll hit you to pulp in front of everyone. And what do you mean by saying Zach hit the jackpot? Don’t you know how vast the land Zach already own in the province?” said Grandma Terry.
Josh scratched his head still looking in awe around the whole area. He could bet that the Mansion was built in at least 65-acre, it was huge and in the heart of the City so this alone was much more expensive compared to what his Big Bro’s land in the province would be.
“I actually searched about it and found out that the Chan’s Mansion has twenty nine bedrooms, thirty nine bathrooms, a basketball court, bowling alley, squash courts, tennis courts and three swimming pools and a massive 91-foot dining room.” Rizie blurted out suddenly that made Josh almost drool with the info.
‘Indeed Bro is very lucky.’ mused Josh and Grandma Terri could sense his bewitched mind so she commented, “Well, she’s the one lucky here because there’s no one else like Zach in the world. He is the best grandson, best son and will definitely be the best husband. Well, he sure will be the best son-in-law and of course he shall be the best father to his children and such a good father will definitely be an out of the world grandfather and great grandfather…”
“Geez Grandma. How about me then?” said Josh scratching his head. “Well you can be the best little brother if you simply keep your mouth shut.”
Sheila on the other hand was feeling nervous and her mother had noticed it. “Relax, the Chan family is a good one and I can tell this by the way they have raised their daughter. Your hands are cold, you are too nervous. Don’t be nervous and scared.” Grandma Terri whispered as Zach’s car stopped at the entrance of the Mansion.
Her daughter already had a trauma meeting rich families like this. She heard Sheila exhale loudly and smile at her, “I’m alright Ma. Let’s go and meet Keira’s parents.”
Sheila had heard how good the Field Marshall was. He was often in the news and was loved by the people because he managed the mobility of Military very well, in their country. She had also heard from the news that many political parties were trying to convince the Field Marshal to run into politics but he strongly refused.
She looked at Zach who smiled widely upon seeing Keira outside the main door waiting for them. She had never seen his son as happy as this before. He was often serious or quiet, this obvious expression of happiness on his face was only seen when he was with Keira.
With Keira alongside, he was relaxed. He would always smile and laugh too.
As soon as they were out of the car, the smiling face of who she presumed was Keira’s mom greeted them warmly.
Keira and Zach introduced their mothers to each other. Mrs. Chan hugged Sheila, Grandma Terri, Lyra and Rizie.
“Welcome to our home. Please feel at home. Come this way, let’s go and sit in the garden and have our dinner there. Later we will sit inside for a cup of after meal tea or coffee. I’m sure you all must be tired after your journey to the city, and it’s already time for dinner.. Come to the garden and let’s start with the first course of dinner there. I was really excited to meet Zach’s family, and especially to meet the great mother who gave birth to such an exceptional soldier with such high morals. I haven’t prepared a lot of things but I hope you all will like wh@??ver is there,” Mrs. Chan excitedly said as she gestured the rest to follow her.
Keira smiled at Zach while the latter held her waist to give her a warm hug and a kiss.
‘A few hours felt like a few days without her.’
“You two lovebirds… Enough with the lovey dovey and come here…” Field Marshal Chan commented in jest when he turned around and noticed that Zach and Keira had not moved yet from the door and were kissing and hugging each other.
Grandpa Shen laughed and commented, “I guess we won’t have to wait long for little Keira and Zach to be around us.”
The rest laughed as they proceeded to head towards the garden. Keira blushed hard while Zach held her close with his arm around her shoulders as they walked then he whispered teasingly, “I think marking your mansion also will be a good idea wifey.”
Keira chuckled as she replied, “Oh this would take weeks to complete hubby.”
“Do you wanna bet how long will it take me? It won’t be even a week for me if you cooperate with me.” whispered Zach.
Keira’s face flushed and she arched a brow as she poked her husband and commented, “What the heck hubby! How come you became so naughty suddenly?”
“Hmm, I’m surprised too but, but I guess I am infected by you! Moreover. I can’t help my desires whenever I’m with you,” said Zach as he pinched Keira’s nose and planted a kiss on her head.
“By the way, I’m excited to see your room. Aren’t you going to show it to me after dinner? Let’s sneak out for a while, while the elders have a talk…” added Zach who was obviously teasing Keira.
“Stop teasing me already hubby,” Keira murmured as they reached garden.
Zach pouted his lips as he murmured complaining,”But I’m serious though. I never joke around…”
Keira grinned and bit Zach’s arm. True enough, Zach’s jokes were often not a joke… Her face flushed thinking how her hubby’s tease often ended up in action.
The dinner went well and Zach’s family enjoyed every dish, from soups to starters to the main course and desserts… everything.
Sheila could feel the sincerity in Keira’s parents without a hint of haughtiness or overbearing attitude, she was really happy to meet such nice people and be relatives with them. She tried to hide her misty eyes that teared because of too much joy. She was so grateful to God for all this to happen, and finally her remaining apprehension totally disappeared.
Mrs. Chan excitedly discussed the wedding preparations for the formal ceremony. Grandma Terri was too active also to give her suggestions.
“Look at those women, when it comes to preparing for the wedding no one can disturb them.” commented Grandpa Shen who was having a drink with the Field Marshal Chan.
“Yes… Women are complicated when such things are concerned.” said Field Marshal Chan laughing and shook his head when he noticed Keira and Zach were sneaking inside the Mansion.
“Look at those two love birds… Couldn’t even wait for the night to end…” he couldn’t help but comment that made Grandpa Shen laugh.
Keira took Zach to her room and to her surprise, Zach immediately locked her into his embrace for a passionate and fiery kiss. He was really not joking earlier, because Keira could feel his hunger for her.
“Why do I feel like I have you starved for love making when actually you’re the one who barely let me rest last night?”
“You left me alone for so many hours at my condo, is that not equal to making me starve?” Zach murmured between his ceaseless kisses and started tracing her neck with his lips.
Keira Mõ@?ed from his actions and cringed with desire. Zach had discovered her sensitive points and was biting softly and then kissing and licking those sensitive spots on her neck. It was getting more irresistible for Keira with Zach’s hands roaming on her entire body, exploring her curves with his scorching hands.
“General, let’s hurry or they will notice that we’ve been gone too long…” Keira murmured and panted as she felt Zach’s demanding kisses going further down her neck and his hands cupping and squeezing her mounds gently.
“Hmm… Don’t mind them. They are too busy discussing the wedding details. Besides we are newlyweds so they will understand our need to spend a little time together especially when… when I will soon be starved of my favourite thing for a few weeks.” Zach whispered softly, while his hands were busy playing with the zippers of her dress.
Keira pulled back to stop his kissing spree, cupped his face in her hands and looked directly into his eyes. Her eyes had started to dampen when she asked, “Why are you leaving so soon?”
Zach kissed her palms that were holding his face, then looked into her misty eyes and replied, “Yeah, I have to go back tomorrow morning. I really h@?? to go and leave you behind, but I have to. I’ll be back soon to take you in my arms again and we’ll make love non-stop to complete the marking of the rest of our condo units since we have only managed to mark my dining table so far…”
Keira hugged Zach possessively. For some reason, she did not want him to go back to that mission.
Lost in her thoughts, she suddenly gasped when she felt Zach’s sharp teeth bite on her chest and then sucked and licked her there, leaving a small dark pink mark. He devilishly smiled at her and then continued to use his expert hands to caress her B??@Å¡?s.
Keira gasped as heat started to consume her body as Zach’s tongue was now exploring her bare bosoms one after another.
Keira was too consumed by her own desires that she did not even notice that Zach had removed all hindrances away from her body so he would have a better access for his passionate moves on her.
*30 minutes after*
They were both panting when Zach whispered, “I wish to have a basketball team of our kids…”
Keira gasped and hit Zach’s shoulder as she complained, “What am I? A dog?”
Zach laughed out hard and said, “Of course not, you will be the mother of my future sons and daughters. Alright let’s just have five then. Three boys and two girls… What do you say? I want a big household…”
Keira’s eyes widened, she was about to complain but Zach had already sealed her lips.
“I told you no one would notice our absence. Look how busy they all are in their own discussions. I could have taken a little more time in carving those beauty marks on you!” whispered Zach in Keira’s ear as they went back to the garden.
Keira could only feel the warmth of a blush crawling up her face. Noticing her cheeks turning pink, Zach turned her face to look at him and said, “In fact, we can still go for another round again. I would like to see some more of my markings on those sweet melons of yours!”
Keira’s eyes widened when he said this and Zach smirked watching her bewildered face.
‘Why had I never noticed that my husband was this shameless?’
Keira shook her head as she was left completely speechless by his words. She hit his shoulder and proceeded to walk towards the women’s group.
The men were drinking and talking at a separate table. Josh who was with them kept boasting about his experience with cattle herding and shepherding.
Meanwhile, the women had their own things to talk about. Keira’s mom, together with Zach’s mom and grandma, were still busy discussing things related to the formal wedding ceremony. They also chit-chatted about the childhood of Zach and Keira.
Lyra and Rizie enjoyed their drinks as they listened to the conversations between the Elders.
“You have beautiful daughters who are already in the right age to settle down. Hmm, I can’t believe that you are still single, Lyra. By the way, why don’t you try working at Sy Law Firm?”
Lyra’s eyes brightened upon hearing the name of the firm. It was the Law Firm of every lawyer’s dream, so she commented, “Yes Auntie, I would love to. Actually, I do have plans to apply there and try my luck, but I still want to gain some more experience before I apply there. Sy Law Firm is definitely my target within the next year..”
“Sheila, you are very lucky to have such wonderful daughters and sons. You have given them a good upbringing with high morals and values.” Mrs. Chan praised Zach’s mom with sincerity that made both Lyra and Rizie blush.
“Thank you, Auntie,” answered the two in chorus. Lyra then looked at her mom and added, “We are also lucky to have such a wonderful, patient and loving mother, Auntie.”
Grandma Terri was overwhelmed, seeing how good Keira’s family was and how well they have treated them. She was particularly happy to see how her daughter finally felt at ease.
The meeting of the in-laws was a good opportunity for the two families to get to know each other. This kind of meetings would especially be nice, if the other party was as warm and as welcoming as the Chan’s Family.
After a few hours had passed, Grandpa Shen and the rest got up to bid their farewell.
However, because it was already too late to travel back to the province, Keira’s parents suggested for Zach’s Family to stay the night at their mansion.
“Please accept our offer and stay the night…” Mrs. Chan tried to convince them with her warm smile, as she held Sheila’s hands.
“But we have already bothered you all too much already,” explained Sheila with a smile.
“What are you saying, Sheila? Please don’t think like that… we are all one family now, and a family is never a bother to each other This is nothing, to be honest. We want you to feel comfortable with us. As I said before, we see you as family now, so we hope that you would also see us the same way.”
Sheila felt a bit timid, so Grandpa Shen answered for her, “Hmm, it wouldn’t be good to refuse this good offer, then.” Then he looked at Sheila and Zach as he said, “Alright, we’ll stay for the night.”
“Yes!” exclaimed Josh out of the blue as he bashfully smiled, bit his lip and scratched his head, when he noticed that all eyes were on him.
“Uhm, I just feel like I’m on a vacation with all the amenities available inside your mansion. I feel like it’s even better than a hotel,” murmured Josh nonchalantly. He almost bit his tongue when he saw Rizie’s sharp gaze at him.
So he added stuttering, “Uhmm, I mean it’s not good to refuse a good offer from family…”
His awkward stutter made the rest laugh and Josh’s face reddened with embarrassment.
It was then decided that Zach’s family would stay overnight and Mrs. Chan excitedly showed them to their respective rooms. However, it’s still too early to sleep, so Mrs. Chan toured Zach’s family inside the mansion and took the older ladies for a treat at the spa, while the youngsters played games like bowling and enjoyed the night.
Meanwhile, Zach and Keira walked outside in the garden hand in hand, staring at the night sky…
He was grinning teasingly at Keira as he said, “So what about us? Should we head back inside the room?”
Keira creased her forehead and pause. She noticed that Zach was becoming too clingy, sweet and mushy, lately. Not that she complained but she was not used to it.
“Are you really like that?” asked Keira that made Zach furrow his forehead.
“Like what?” asked Zach a bit confused.
“You’re acting differently than your usual cold demeanor and blank face. You even pout and wink often now…” Keira asserted with an arched brow.
Zach laughed and held Keira’s shoulders. Then he said, “You mean this?” with pouted lips followed by a wink.
Keira gave him a weary look as she said, “Yeah, that!”
“Keira, these all are reactions from being in love with you, and they have come naturally to me. Being with a cheerful and sweet girl like you, if I don’t sweet-talk you, won’t you just run away from me?”
Zach pursed his lips when he saw Keira open her mouth in awe, so he added, “I’m reacting instinctively at you. You don’t like it? Alright, let me go back to my blank and expressionless face.”
Zach suddenly turned sulky as he sighed and murmured, “I’m like this only when I am with you… Cheesy and mushy… I should perhaps stop… If it bothers you…”
This time Keira chuckled and hugged her husband as she said, “Just be yourself. This falling star likes and loves you just the way you are, my General…”
