"You live here", Astrea asked for the sake of clarity,even though she already knew the answer.
"Yeah, I do", Ezra replied while nodding.
"It's amazing", Astrea truthfully said.
"I guess it is, at least my dad did one good thing before he left us",Ezra said trying to play it of like it was nothing but Astrea could clearly see through his facade.
She took his hand in her's, making him turn to look at her,"it's okay ",She said, "Don't bother bringing him up, he's not important",her words made his heart melt.
"What would I do without you?",Ezra asked ,"Good thing, we never have to find out, like I said you are stuck with me", Astrea said with a smile.
" You don't know how happy I am to be stuck with someone as perfect as you, I love you ",Ezra said making Astrea's face turn all shades of red , "Let's go meet your mum ", Astrea said as she coughed to hide her blush, Ezra noticed this and laughed , making her face even more red and her heart beat extremely fast.
'He is going to give me a heart attack ', Astrea said in her head, "Alright let's go ", he said then came out of the car and opened the door for her.
Ezra took her hand and helped her out of the car , they got to the front of the house and Ezra opened the front door and the inside of the house was just as glamorous as the outside, with everything being either white or gold in color and Astrea was convinced that most of the things,if not all of the things where real gold. They stepped in hand in hand and we're greeted by an old Mai , who seemed to be incredibly happy to see her.
"Ezra you're back",The old lady said with a smile making her look so nice and friendly that Astrea wanted to hug her, but refrained from doing so because it would probably appear weird .
"Aunt Matilda, this is my girlfriend, Astrea, Astrea this is Aunt Matilda ",Ezra said introducing them to each other.
"Nice to meet you , you're even prettier in person", Aunt Matilda said to Astrea's making her smile, she didn't know why but compliments from old ladies just made her feel so good.
"Nice to meet you ma'am , you are very pretty", Astrea said.
"You are just being nice",Aunt Matilda said,even though Astrea's compliment made her happy.
"I am serious ma'am you are gorgeous ", Astrea answered.
"Oh aren't you just lovely and stop calling me ma'am ,call me aunt Matilda", Aunt Matilda said with a smile, "Of course...Aunt Matilda", Astrea said.
Aunt Matilda had been working in their house for a long time and was originally a ln employee of Ezra's father, after he left all his employees went with him but Matilda stayed as she had already formed a relationship with Ezra and treated him like her own son, seeing as she never had kids of her own. That.was why Ezra called her aunt.
As Aunt Matilda gushed over Astrea and how pretty she was , Ms. Smith descended the stairs, as Astrea looked up at the stairs she was astonished, Mrs.Smith was beautiful , with long black hair, which was tied in a braid and striking blue eyes, She could tell where Ezra got his good looks from. He looked exactly like her the only difference being that Ezra had a sharper jawline.
Ms.Smith got to the the bottom of the staircase and walked towards them, "Good evening Ms.Smith", Astrea said putting on her most charismatic smile ," Good evening Astrea,My son has told me such good things about you ",Ms. Smith said and. both her and Astrea looked at Ezra who smiled at them.
They then looked back at each other with a smile,"You are even prettier than he said ",Ms. Smith told Astrea making her cheeks pink,"Ms. Smith you are gorgeous,You are even prettier than Aphrodite herself", Astrea said.
"You have am excellent way with words, I'm flattered ", Ms.Smith said with a smile which was so contagious that Astrea smiled back just as wide.
"I have something for you", Astrea said pulling the box out of her bag , and handed it to Ms.Smith.
"A present for me, dear you shouldn't have ",Ms.Smith said while opening it.
Ms.Smith opened the box and gasped once she saw the beautiful necklace Astrea bought her,"It's amazing",Ms.Smith said pulling Astrea into a hug, which Astrea happily reciprocated.
"Help me put in on",Ms.Smith said after they pulled out of the hug.
"Of course", Astrea said taking the necklace and walking behind Ms.Smith , She pushed her braid to the side and Astrea hooked the the necklace,"All done", Astrea said making Ms.Smith turn around,"How does it look?", Ms.Smith asked with a smile
"Absolutely magnificent", Astrea said making Ms.Smith's smile even wider,"Thank you dear",Ms.Smith said,"You're welcome Ma'am", Astrea said returning her smile.
"Let's start eating ",Ms.Smith said and they made they're way to the dining table.
They got to the dining table and Astrea was met with an amazing marble dining table, which she was sure wasn't cheap, but then again nothing in the house was. A magnificent chandelier was suspended from the ceiling by ornate chains adding to it's regal charm, Its frame is composed of sturdy metal, brass was intricately designed to depict motifs that reflect the elegant style of the mansion, delicate filigree work graces the edges, giving the chandelier an ethereal appearance. Adorning the chandelier was a. multitude of crystal prisms, each delicately cut and polished to create a dazzling effect.
At the base of the chandelier, additional decorative elements enhance its elegance
Icicles, cascade from the arms of the chandelier, displaying an exquisite symmetry.
Astrea never thought she would be captivated by a chandelier but her she was, she was convinced that Ms.Smith was the one to pick out, and she was right after Ezra's father left and Ms.Smith's company took off she completely remodelled the entire house.
"Let's seat down",Ms.Smith said and they all sat down with Ms.Smith at the head of the table and Astrea and Ezra at her right.
