Chapter 25 Let it Go!

Alana's POV

"I can't believe we're doing this now," I mutter shaking and Aiden grins.

"Don't worry. She'll love you."

"Weren't I supposed to meet her then you propose?" I tease.

"Well things didn't go as planned did they?" He deadpanned as we walk into the house. "Ma! We're here."

Suddenly, a pretty brown-skinned lady pops her head from the kitchen and I smile as she grins.

Her brown eyes sparkle as they land on our intertwined hands.

"So this is the young woman who stole my son." She teases walking up to us and Aiden rolls his eyes. "I can see why you're as beautiful as a daisy. I'm Emerald."

"Alana." I smile and she nods.

"I've heard a lot about you." She says while pulling me into a hug. "You seem to have him wrapped around your finger cause' all he does, is swoon when he's here."

I relax into the hug as Aiden groans.

"C'mon now, let's get to the kitchen. I hope you can eat. I didn't cook all this food for nothing."

She's right.

This is a lot of food.
