Island Love

Chapter 7: Some Families you guys are!

So I see all of my sisters walking out of Stella's room except Musa, so as I got out of my room, there she was, right in front of me, the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my whole life.

"Well, what do you think?" she asked me, looking deep into my eyes with that amazing shimmer that her dark navy blue eyes give.

"I'm speechless"

"Yeah right"

"No I mean it Muse, you look amazing, well that doesn't even describe it but I just really don't know what to say"

"It's ok I get it, you don't look too bad yourself"

"Shall we?" I let out my hand so I could walk out with her to the dinner table, and no matter what my Uncle and Aunt think, I will stand up for us. Even if it means disrespecting them.

"Yes we shall"

We walked down to the dining table and my Uncle was already there. With his wife who's actually more annoying than Stella.

"Riven, I heard that there were rumors about you dating again and I wasn't sure if it was true, but by the looks of it, I say they are"

"Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary, this is Musa, Musa this is my father's brother and his sister in law"

"Pleasure meeting you" Musa said extending her hand.

"The pleasure my dear is all mine" my Uncle said as he grabbed Musa's extended hand and kissed it gently.

"So you're the stray that my brother in law decided to take care of because of lost memory, Riven I really don't know why you left Mitzi, this girl does not compare to a young and talented girl like her"

"Well Mary if it were up to me, I would keep Musa, and yes she has a name, Musa! And second she's apart from this family whether you like it or not and third most important, She's not a stray, she has talents, she sings and dances and she is oh so very smart for her age, and let that be the last time you insult my family"

I've seen my dad mad before, but this time it was plain pissed off, way to go dad.

"Insult your family? She's not even your daughter!"

"But I respect, treat and see her like one, Riven why don't you and Musa take a seat at the table"

"They stray is going to eat with us?" this bitch ass 'Aunt' is really getting on my nerves.

"She is not a stray, her name is Musa, and I deeply care for her, Mitzi is nothing more than straight up bitch, like you Aunt Mary, and if you say another word about her, I will promise that the food will end up in your face"

"How dare you talk to me like that"

"Riven to the table"

"Fine, some family you guys are, come on Muse, let's go"

As I seat Musa in the table and I sit next to her, I can tell she was hurt by my Aunts comments.

"Hey, don't listen to a word she said, you are way more important than she thinks, and you and I both know that you're not a stray!"

"I know but, Stella said that your family needs to approve the people that you guys date, and if your Aunt doesn't like me, I'm scared that this might not work between us"

"Hey, the only approval on who I date are from my parents, not from a straight ass bitch, if I have to smack smash potatoes in her face just for you, I'll do that, I won't let noting nor no one get in our way"

"You'd really smack smash potatoes in her face for me?"

"Yeah, I will"

She smiles and giggles at the idea of it, she leans over to kiss me on the cheek, which felt comforting knowing that I can bring a smile on her face.

"Thanks Riven, for everything"

"Anything for you"

Moments later, my mom and sisters sit at the table waiting for my dad and his siblings. My mom over heard the conversation between us so she held Musa's hand and whispered the same thing I told her, to relax and ignored her, Musa smiled and I could see that she was feeling much better.

Moments later, my dad walks in the dining room with his brother and his bitch ass sister in law.

"Let's eat and talk like the family that we are and forget the little incident ok?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, we did a little prayer and started to eat, it was dead silence through almost the whole meal. Most of the time my Aunt would look at Musa to see if you knew how to eat properly since she thinks that she's a stray.

My Uncle would brag about his new job, car and place, my Aunt would go on complaining about the reason why she doesn't have children. It was really starting to get on my nerves knowing that she was indirectly talking about me and Muse.

"Mom, dad can I excuse Musa and I from the table?"

"What? The stray can't talk for herself than even you have to excuse her?"

That's it, I totally lost control and threw wine at her and started to yell at her, I grabbed Musa, and took her to the car, the last I said before I left was 'Some families you guys turned out to be' and we left, I drove for hours till I stopped at my favorite spot to think, in the sun setting beach in Dorado.

It was dead silence between Musa and I, I didn't know what to say to her after the way I reacted, I've never acted that way before. I guess it's just natural instinct when you really care about someone.

MUSA'S POV

It was dead silence between us, I've seen my brothers get into fights and get mad, but Riven? Riven's anger was like all of my brother combined. I was afraid to talk to Riven, afraid that anything I said would upset him.

I didn't knew what to do I was so scared to talk to him that I didn't even look at him ever since we left the house. And to my surprise he was calm, I guess seeing the sun setting relaxes him, but his eyes, so full of anger and hatred, it's so scary, and for some reason so hot at the same time.

I had to break the silence, but I am so scared, but it's all or nothing.

"Riven?"

"Hmm?" phew thank god his in a relax state.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I just… I needed to get out of there I couldn't stand another second hearing that beach whale insulting you for another second. What about you are you ok?"

"I'm perfect; I'm actually more worried about you"

"I'll be fine."

He broke eye contact with me and his face gazed of seeing the sun setting taking it's time. And that's when it hit me.

"Hey Riven"

"Yeah?"

"Why don't you take off that silly little clip on tie and shoes, I take my heels off and we take a walk around the beach a little, before it gets dark and the sun goes to sleep and moon comes out and play, what do you say?"

All it took was a big smile on his face and not too soon he was taking off his tie and shoes, I took off my heels, I closed the car door and Riven locked it.

We walked in silence for a while, till I broke it.

"You know, I'm actually kind of glad that you Aunt called those things, and that what happened at the diner, well happened"

"Really why is that? Because I'm pretty sure if someone called me a stray, I would be pissed"

"Sure I am hurt and mad, but you and I wouldn't be here alone, enjoying the sun setting, the fresh smell of the salty sea in the breeze, the sound of the waves coming and going."

"I guess you're right"

"You guess or is it that I am RIGHT?"

"Ok YOU are RIGHT"

"See I knew it!"

We walked together holding hands, I blushed a little but I looked to the other side he wouldn't notice. Sometimes I wonder if he really wants me to be his girlfriend.

"Hey Muse?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't take this the wrong way or think I want to go too fast but, you have no idea, how badly I want you to be my girlfriend, but I don't want you think that I'm rushing or anything, it's just I…"

"Had to get it out of you system?"

"Yeah, but like I said I'm not rushing or anything, it's just you've only staid with us for only a month and I feel so connected to you, so protective and open, and as if I could hold this whole world in my hand."

"And that no one nor nothing can get in the way? Trust me I know how you feel, let's just wait a few more months, and then we'll see if we're ready for the next step, ok?"

"I'll wait as long as you want me to wait"

"Even if it takes 100 years?"

"Even a 1,000 or more"

I couldn't help but smile and blush a little. And he best part is he and I are both sure about this, what really made my day is that he grabbed my arm and put his other hand on my hip, and we started slow dancing, to the sweet music of the waves as the sun set.

I laid my head on his shoulder, he rested his chin on my head, and we danced, and danced and danced until the sun went to sleep and the moon woke up and the stars came out to play. I could stay like this forever, but sadly it had to end, it was dark even though the moon and the stars shone enough to see where we were going.

And to finish off the night, it started to rain; Riven and I ran to the car, we weren't soaked but a few rain drops were noticeable on out clothing. We smiled and giggled for a while then we turned to each other, he took my chin and gave me a soft and light kiss, and then he whispered in my ear 'thank you, for making each day of my life worth waking up too!' he finished by giving me kiss on the forehead, all I did was sit there and blush, he notice but didn't say thing but smile.

We road back home, and everyone was sound asleep, I guess they didn't expected us to come back. When he escorted me to my room I gave him a big hug and returned the light and soft kiss he gave me, and wished him a good night. As for me, I slept like a baby, with my happy dream that is!
