A STOLEN KISS FROM THE CEO! - Season 2 Episode 51

Denise couldn’t understand why everyone was gawking at her when she stepped out of Tom’s car, holding his right hand. Although Tom had given her a brief rundown about his family, the reception of eye-piercing stares was nerve-cracking. She could see some people talking in whispers and giggling but their eyes never left her for one second.

Tom smiled as he could read the curious stares that greeted his arrival. He gently took Denise’s hand into his arm and stared lovingly into her eyes, as though she was the only existing person in the whole universe.

“Are you ready to meet my amazing family? Or, should we turn around and go back to the city?”

Denise, being her usual cheerful self, smiled flirtatiously at Tom and kissed him gently on the lips.

“Let’s go meet your family!”

As Tom and Denise were walking towards the mansion entrance, they were accosted by his brothers.

As expected the gang leader was Dan followed by Tom’s two older brothers. Although Dan pretended to be excited to see Tom, his true objective was to taunt him as always.

“Here comes my brothers!” Tom smirked.

“Baby brother!” Dan playfully slapped Tom on his shoulder. “Welcome! I can see you brought home a beauty. Is she your new catch or your colleague?”

…..

“Dan!” Dave frowned at Dan’s unnecessary teasing. “Give Tom a break! He just arrived.” Then he turned his attention to Tom and Denise.

“Welcome home Tom,” Dave smiled. Can you please introduce us to this gorgeous lady?”

“Thanks, Dave,” Tom totally ignored Dan, as though he was not there. He reached for Dave’s hand and shook him warmly.

“Guys,” Tom’s eyes glimmered as he spoke in an unusually calm tone. I want you all to meet the special lady in my life…”

“Oh my goodness, Denise!” Fred screamed in astonishment. “Where have you been all these years? I have searched everywhere for you!”

Denise, Tom, Dan, and David all turned toward Fred’s direction with dropped jaws.

“You know my girlfriend?” Tom managed to say in a weak voice.

“Yes, she is the same Denise I told you all about!” Fred moved closer to get a better view of her.

Denise almost froze in Tom’s arms but she quickly regained her self composure and just stared at Fred. She silently prayed that this loquacious Fred guy would keep his mouth shut for the next few minutes.

The fact that Fred had stolen his moment to introduce his girlfriend irked Tom so much. Also, the fact that Fred knew Denise at all scared him.

Fred was the most handsome member of the family. He was said to take after his mother’s beauty and this endeared him to the ladies. Aside from Fred’s handsomeness, he had an infuriating habit of cutting someone off during a conversation. He seemed to know everyone or every topic. Also, he was fond of teasing and sometimes, belittling Tom whenever he got the chance.

Due to Fred’s know-it-all syndrome and other annoying traits, Tom always tried to avoid him. Sometimes, they would argue for long, like two old married couples, or attack themselves with harsh words. Their quarrels were always a source of amusement to the family, except for Greg and David.

If Fred was not Tom’s biological brother or two years older than him, Tom would have broken his jaw a long time ago. Although, he still wished that something would give him reason to punch Fred in the face, and from the looks of it, Denise is going to be that perfect reason.

Denise observed Tom’s tensed body and gently stroked his arms.

“Excuse me!” She said in a slightly irritated tone. “My boyfriend was about to introduce me to you all.

She turned her attention to Tom and smiled. “Baby, can you please introduce me to your brothers?”

Tom slightly regained his composure and cheerfulness. He ignored the killer look in Fred’s eyes and introduced Denise to them.

“Guys, like I was saying earlier before I was rudely interrupted…” Tom cast Fred a mockery glance, “I would like you all to meet the special woman in my life, Denise Walter.”

Denise smiled and bowed animatedly, causing everyone to giggle except Fred, who couldn’t peel his lustful eyes off her.

“Won’t you introduce us to your g… girlfriend?” Fred stressed the word girlfriend on purpose. He was still bent on ruining Tom’s moment. He was angry that his baby brother had gotten himself entangled with his once-lost but found love.

“Fred!” David nudged Fred on the shoulder and quickly apologized on his behalf.

“Sweetheart, this is my eldest brother, Dan.” Tom pointed at Dan with less enthusiasm in his eyes. He is married with three kids.”

“Nice to meet you!” Denise smiled and shook Dan’s hand.

“The pleasure is all mine,” Dan smiled broadly. “I hope you are here to stay. I can’t stand my baby brother being crushed.”

Tom gave Dan a face-slapping look before totally ignoring his remark.

“Sure, I’m here for Tom, and I will literally crush anyone who tries to hurt him.” Denise’s fiery eyes darted from Dan to Fred.

“Wow, feisty! I love her already!” David grinned.

“Yeah, she is!” Tom chuckled. “My love, meet my father’s second son and my best friend, David. You can also call him Dave for short. He is also married with two kids.”

“It’s a pleasure, Dave.” Denise left Tom’s arm and hugged David.

“Why do I feel cheated?” Dan lamented. “All I got was just a handshake. This is not fair!”

“I hope that I get a hug too.” Fred winked in Denise’s direction.

“You wish!” Tom said between clenched jaw.

“Calm down, brother!” Fred smirked devilishly. “I came here with a girlfriend too. No need to throw invisible punches.

“Last and definitely the least of all,” Tom spoke nonchalantly, “meet my extremely annoying, garrulous, flirty, and…”

“… extremely handsome!” Fred interrupted Tom. He raked his hair using his fingers and smiled flirtatiously at Denise. “It is my pleasure to meet you again after so many years of searching for you, beautiful.”
