Chapter 43 - Face The Three Old Men

Daniel sighed seeing the girl sleeping so peacefully in his arms, her cheeks were red, she looked more cute and alluring than her regular self.

Daniel didn't want to move and wanted to stay with her there forever but they can't stay at this restaurant forever, so Daniel decided to take Rachel and leave and he was glad she ate the dinner, with the amount of alcohol she consumed if she was on an empty stomach, she would have thrown up.​​

He held her waist and tried to make her walk but it was impossible as she was sleeping and her entire body was leaning towards him, therefore Daniel decided to lift her, she was wearing a long skirt so carrying her won't be uncomfortable and embarrassing for her with her clothes moving off her body or any other wardrobe malfunction.

So, he bended a little and carried her in his arms, she cozily moved closer to him and rested her head comfortably on his shoulder, her face was very close to his neck, he could feel her soft breaths. She looked so alluring at that moment, Daniel had a sudden urge to kiss her but he knows she is currently drunk and is unconscious so he controlled himself.

Daniel is rational and respects a woman's wish, he knows where to draw the line and how to respect the feelings of the woman, he did get an idea that the feelings he is having are probably not one-sided but he will take a step forward only after proper confirmation and with Rachel's consent. With these thoughts he slowly headed towards his car, it was difficult to open the car door with his keys in his pockets and Rachel in his arms. He slowly put down Rachel and made her lean completely on him, he held her tightly with his left hand on her waist and with his right hand he unlocked the car.

He made her comfortably sit in the front passenger seat and put the safety belt around her, his face was very close to Rachel, he gulped in nervousness when he saw her more closely, he cursed himself and quickly pulled himself out of the car, he then entered the driver seat and drove towards Rachel's home.

They reached her home in 30 minutes, Daniel was hesitant as to what to tell grandpa James, what if he misunderstands the situation or might get upset that Daniel was careless to let her drink so much. After sighing, he pushed all these thoughts away and unbuckled Rachel's seat belt and tried to make her walk which was impossible so he again carried her in his arms.

When he reached the front door, he saw the door was open, so he entered and decided to drop Rachel in her room but what he saw surprised him.

James, Michael and Anthony, all three grandpas were sitting in the living room and they were all looking towards Daniel, it felt like those three were actually waiting for him and Rachel.

"Uncle James, actually…" Daniel wanted to explain.

"First drop her in the room, your arms must be paining carrying her, she is not a child and doesn't weigh less."

Daniel chuckled, "No grandpa, I am comfortable, it is not a bother to me."

"So you want to hold her in your arms forever?" Grandpa Michael asked embarrassing Daniel.

James and Anthony laughed loudly.

"That's not what I meant." Daniel awkwardly tried to explain.

"Drop her first" James this time commanded him.

Daniel went towards Rachel's room, the last time when he came here she showed him around the house so he knew where her room was, her door was open so without any hurdles he reached her room and placed her on the bed. Luckily her clothes were comfortable so he was not worried about her comfort. He covered her till the waist with the comforter and adjusted the air-conditioner to a comfortable temperature.

Seeing her sleeping peacefully he smiled and thought, 'Look at you, sleeping so peacefully, with whatever happened tonight I won't be able to sleep for the next few days and next time we meet I'll ensure you tell me your dream' smiling at his thought process, Daniel went downstairs, he prepared himself to face the three old men.

"I am sorry grandpa…" Daniel first apologised but before he could continue James interrupted him.

"Sorry? Did you do something to my granddaughter? Something worth an apology?" James looked pissed and angry.

"What? No no. What are you saying? What will I do to her?" Daniel was worried with grandpa James' sudden accusation.

"Then what the fuck are you apologising for?" James chuckled.

"God, grandpa you scared me"

"Did you do something you should be scared of?" This time it was grandpa Michael who startled Daniel with his question.

"Oh god, I didn't do anything, grandpa please control your friends." Daniel looked at Anthony feeling annoyed with his friends.

"Why should I? Anyway I can't even control my grandsons and you think I can control my friends. You think too highly of me Daniel."

"What is wrong with you three" Daniel was super annoyed with these three.

��Anyway how was your date?" Anthony asked with excitement evident on his face.
