A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE

FOUR DAYS LATER**

**BRIANNA**

It was Friday, the day Adrian finally gets to go to the family dinner that he’s been avoiding for a while, and I’m going with him. How cool is that? I just have to be there because Stella wanted me to, if not, I would rather spend Friday night coiled up on my bed and reading one of the books that I haven’t had time to finish reading.

I was dressed in a simple brown evening gown with thin straps and a slit that ran all the way up to my thigh. I decided to dress in a simple yet fancy way. I also had on a simple necklace and earrings then completed the outfit with a black purse and black stilettos. My hair was done in a fresh braid and I did a simple makeup too. I’m not really dressing to impress so I was good to go.

I sat on my bed to wait for Adrian as it seemed like we were beginning to run late. We were supposed to get there by 7:30 and this was 7:00, but I didn’t really know how far his family house is so…

I raised my head when I hear mom knock on the open door to get my attention.

“Hey, your date is here. He’s in the sitting room.” She said and I jumped to my feet. Cool, he didn’t use his horn to bring my house down this time around.

“Okay mom, I’ll be down in a minute.” I stated.

“Alright. You look stunning.” She said before walking away.

I smoothened out my dress, took one last look at myself in the mirror before walking out of the room. Mom and I were the only ones at home. Marianna had gone to her best friend’s house for the weekend. So mom will be the only one left at home after I leave with Adrian.

I got into the sitting room to see Adrian in his handsome glory. He was dressed in a white button down dress shirt and black dress pants. He seemed to have styled his hair too and he looked so out of place in our old rusty sitting room. He looked like he should be in a castle of some sort, not in a poor looking sitting room like mine.

He and my mom were conversing like old friends and Adrian was laughing at something she had said. Ha, good to see that they were getting along. He appeared to have lost some of his asshole attitude over the days.

I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts and moved closer to them, that was when Adrian noticed me. He stood up the moment he saw me and let his eyes wander over the length of my body and I saw a look flash in his eyes before they were gone as soon as they came.

“You look gorgeous.” He breathed after burning holes into my body with his hot gaze. I flushed at his compliment.

“Thank you. You don’t look bad yourself.” I stated.

“Really? That’s all you’re gonna say?” He raised a dark eyebrow, a teasing look appearing on his face.

“Okay Almighty Mr. Adrian, you look stunningly hot!” I said in a bit of an exaggerated manner and he burst out laughing. Somehow, mom had managed to slip out of the sitting room without me knowing. It would have been embarrassing having her watch me say that.

“I knew that was what you thought of me. You just needed a little push.” He said, still gazing at me with those eyes of his.

“If you keep looking at me like that, I might jump you right here and I’m sure we don’t want that to happen.” I blurted out.

“Oh, I sure want something like that to happen, but sadly we have a dinner to get to. I might be taking you up on that offer later though.” He said with a wink towards the end.

“Whatever, Mr. Adrian.” I said, whirled and began to walk towards the door. I could swear that I felt his eyes on my ass the entire time we walked to his car.

“Brianna, you didn’t even bother to inform me that you guys were leaving.” I turned when I heard mom’s loud voice coming from the open window.

“Oh shit, I kinda forgot mom.” I said.

“It’s fine. You guys have fun, but not too much fun!” She shouted from the window side.

“Okay mom.” I yelled back.

“We’ll make sure to be careful with our play, Mrs. Jackson.” Adrian said but I sensed the double innuendo in his words.

“I trust you on that, Adrian. I won’t mind if the both of you decide to make grandbabies for me though.” Mom said in a loud voice and my eyes grew so wide, I thought they were going to fall out of their sockets.

“Jeez! That’s it mom! We’re leaving!” I retorted and pushed Adrian into the car before he and my mom said another weird stuff.

“Why’d you push me? I was having fun with your mom.” He whined.

“Oh, shut it. You just enjoyed making me uncomfortable.” I glared at him playfully.

“Yeah, that’s right.” He grinned.

“Brandon, drive please.” He ordered Brandon who was in the driver’s seat and he revved the engine to life.

“Oh hey Brandon.” I waved at him and he smiled at me through the mirror.

“Hi, Miss Brianna.” He said with a curt smile.

“You look so good to eat right now.” Adrian said after a few minutes of driving in silence, his gaze and been on me the whole time.

“Really? Are you a cannibal? Because only a cannibal would say that I looked good to eat.” I said, batting my eyes at him.

“You and I know that that wasn’t what I meant.” He growled at me playfully.

“I was kidding!” I chuckled. “And you look good enough to lick. Like an ice cream.”

“Jesus, that sounded lame, didn’t it?” I blushed after realizing the nonsense I had blurted out.

“A little, I loved that you attempted a line though.” He stated with a grin.

“How long till we get to your family house?” I asked, staring out the window at the busy road.

“In about five minutes, I think.” He answered.

“You haven’t told me what your family is like, or what I should expect.” I said, pointedly looking at him.

“Oh yeah. My family’s a family of 4, consisting of my father, mother, me and my baby sister. My sister is in highschool and she’s an angel. I haven’t seen much of her because I don’t go home as you have known.” He said, a look of love crossing his features once he mentioned his sister. It was obvious that he loved her.

“That’s nice. What about your father? I know your mother so you don’t have to tell me about her.” I asked.

“My father… Well let’s just say I’m a younger version of the old man. I would say that I get most of my attitude from him, but more of the looks are definitely from my mother.” He uttered.

“Okay. Sounds like you have a nice family.” I smiled.

“Yeah…” He was saying when Brandon’s voice cut him off.

“We’re here.” He announced and I looked around. I hadn’t even noticed that the car had stopped moving.

Well, it’s time to face Adrian’s family and I couldn’t stop feeling nervous.
