Julia's POV

"Are you sure you packed everything?" Jace asks as we enter The Pellington's private airport along with the rest of family.

I didn't want to be any trouble coming along to this trip. I feel as if I'm intruding on a sacred family moment of this beautiful family.

Nadine said that it was no problem and that I was apart of their family but I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't belong.

"For the last time Jace, yes." I chuckle at him.

I'm in complete awe at this airport. The people are so friendly. The place is so big yet it feels so small at the same time. Its so quiet and private.

"Come on Julia! Let's go!" Bethany grabs my hand and tugs me along with the family into the private airplane.

When we get in, I'm in awe again for what feels like the thousandth time today. The only word that can describe this plane is beautiful. Its modern design gives each room a warm welcome. I sigh.

This is living..

I plop down in one of seats and close my eyes. If I could just have a guava s-

"Smoothie?" My eyes shot open to see Kathy smiling at me with two smoothies in her hand.

"Mi seh that out loud?" I sit up in my seat and take the smoothie from her. "Thanks."

"Your welcome. And yes." She sits with me. "You are gonna love my grandmother. But your not only meeting my grandmother. Your meeting my whole family. And we have a lot of them." I almost choke on my smoothie.

"W-What?"

"Ah, don't worry about it. You'll be fine, their gonna love you. But they will tease you knowing that you and Jace are basically dating." She slightly nudges me and I flush.

"Okay guys, we're about to take off so I hope everyone's settled in." Mr. Pellington says with his wife in his arms.

"Okay Dad!"
"You got it Franky!"
"Alright Daddio!"
"Okey-Dokey Daddy!"
"Sure Dad."

The whole family calls from different sections of the plane.

"How did yuh know I wanted guava?" I eye her suspiciously.

"Julia babe come on. Its guava. Everybody loves guava." She draws back her seat and puts her feet up on the footrest.

"Julia?" I look up to see Jace smiling at me. His smile simply takes my breath away. He removed his jacket and is now wearing a more comfortable shorts and green shirt.

"Yeah?"

"Aren't you going to put your stuff in the rooms we have?" It was just then that I realized my bags were still in my hand.

"I didn't think about that. I don't think I have a room-"

"Because you don't. You're sharing a room with me." He smirks and its only then I noticed that Kathy had been making kissy faces this whole time.

"Come with me." He picks up my bags and carries them to the room.

'Go get it girl' Kathy mouths and I can't help but flush. I quickly shake my head at her.

........

"Aren't you going to change?" Jace asks as he watches me from the bed. I place my phone on charge and head to my bag.

"I'll do dat now." Just as I'm about to enter the bathroom, his voice cuts me off.

"I love you June."

I smile and close the door behind me.

When I get back, there are trays of foods and drinks on the table before us. I look at Jace and he smiles warmly at me.

"Come and lay down with me June." I crawl into the bed with him and I lay there, nothing but our arms touching. His arm goes to my waist and he pulls me to him so that my face is on his hard chest.

"I'm so glad you're here with me." He whispers. My fingers gently trail over his soft chest. "I love it when you touch me."

I hum in response and press my lips to his chest. I savour this. I savour our time together. I savour just being in his arms and he whispers to me the sweetest things. This is our usual thing, its become so regular for me. And it feels so good.

"I'll take you wherever you want to go." He strokes my hair gently. I relish in his touch. The tone of his voice so promising and sincere. I nearly cry.

"I always wanted to go to Paris." I whisper back as I feel my eyes start to close slowly for sleep.

"I'll go anywhere with you my June. Because you make my life an adventure everyday." He says so soft and its like music to my ears. "I love you Julia." I smile when I hear the last thing he said and it sounded more like a prayer.

A prayer that was for me and only me.

............

"June, wake up baby." I feel a gentle kiss on my forehead. My eyes flutter open and I'm greeted with green emerald eyes that shine as they look at me with adoration. The same eyes that I've fallen in love with over and over.

"I'm awake." I laugh softly and his smile widens. I sigh when his usual scent invades my nostrils.

"We're going to land soon." He says softly and kisses my hair. "We should eat first."

"I'm not hungry." I sit up and rub my eyes.

"Please, for me June. You're so thin already. I want to fatten you up." He smirks and pats the side of my butt.

I gasp at him.

"You love it." He winks at me and pushes his self off the bed and heads towards the table and sits on one of the chairs. "I don't want to eat alone."

I head towards him and sit in front, well, that's until he places me on his lap and starts feeding me himself, ensuring that I ate enough food to 'fatten me up.'

Oh this boy...

..........

"Where here!" Nadine squeals and the whole limousine erupts with cheers.

"Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!" Tyler and Malachi chant and I try to hold my laugh when Cee-Cee's face goes from happy to totally shocked and she starts to cry.

The limousine enters the gates of a welcoming home. It may not be as big as the mansion back home, but it sure does give off a warm and positive vibe.

"I'm so glad to see grandma. I hope she got the porno book I asked for-"

"Carter Pellington!" Nadine scolds her son and the whole limousine breaks out in a fit of laughter.

"I should have recorded that. You know how much grandma hates when you say those stuff. Then she wouldn't give you any Christmas money for sure." Emily sassed and fist pumped Kathy.

"Okay okay guys we're here. Out." Mr. Pellington orders and we all step out.

"You okay?" Brayon asks me.

"Yeah, I'm okay. This place is so beautiful." I stare at it in awe.

"Yeah, we all love this place. Its the house where all The Pellington's started off of. Basically where us Pellington's made history and now we are all benefiting off of it." He says cooly and I nod. He heads off to his fiancé.

"Let's go baby." Jace comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. We all head to the door and it opens by a man in a black suit.

"Baileywick! I thought I told you not to open the door when its my babies visiting!" A strong voice says.

"My apologies madam." Baileywick says, his accent didn't go unnoticed.

"Grandma!" The whole family says.

"Welcome home my babies! I missed you!" I stand at the back, feeling as if I'm intruding in a very touching family moment.

"Come in! Come in! Do I have a treat for you all!" She cheers and I take the time out to look at the beautiful home.

Its warm and refreshing. So friendly and the atmosphere just makes you feel as if your already home.

I smell the rich scent of all types of French foods from what I'm assuming is the kitchen.

"And who's this?" My mind snaps back to reality when I see the old lady looking at me. I don't know what but for some reason, I'm nervous.

"Oh that's just Julia. My future wife." Carter says with a smug look on his face.

"Boy, one more peep out of you and you don't get no Christmas present from me." She scolds him. She then walks up to me and looks me straight in the eyes.

Oh my gosh, what if she doesn't like me?

"Well aren't you just the sweetest and most beautiful thing I've ever seen?" She takes both my hands in hers and kisses both sides of my cheeks.

"Th-Thank you." I whisper.

"Is that an accent I hear? Speak up louder dear so I can hear it." And just by the looks of warmth in her eyes, my nervousness is gone.

"Thank yuh so much." I say a bit louder.

"Aw, she's such a darling. Who's beautiful darling is this?" She rubs my arms.

"She's mine grandma." Jace says when he emerges from the stairs along with Brayson and his father.

"She's absolutely gorgeous Jacey-Cacey. Take good care of her, okay?" She lets go of my arms and walks to Mr. Pellington and starts kissing him all over his face.

"I already plan to." He says softly and walks up to me. "Come with me." He holds my hand and leads me up the stairs.

As soon as we are inside the fourth door to the near end, I'm being cornered by my blonde hair guy.

"You look so beautiful baby." He whispers in my ear. I shiver.

"Thank you." I gasp when he kisses my ear.

"I'm so glad your here...with me." He kisses the sensitive spot just below my ear. I had to hold onto his shoulders because I know my legs would have gave out on me.

He then chuckles and pulls away. "I told you you had nothing to worry about." He walks towards the bed and I'm still against the wall, trying to catch my breath. "My grandma loves you already and all you said was 'thank you'."

"Oh..I.." I try to find the words to show that I wasn't that affected by what he just did to me. "Yes."

Yes? That's all you could say? Really? My subconscious scolds me.

I clear my throat and head towards the bed as well. I lay down a few inches away from him and in a flash, he's in top of me.

"You don't have to pretend that what I did didn't affect you June. I'm glad it did. And it affected me too." He whispers, his voice deeper than usual that sends my nerves skyrocketing.

"Look at the mirror." I look at the mirror to find the two figures of me and Jace on the bed laying down on a blue mattress bed.

"I maybe white and you maybe black but that doesn't matter. The way your beautiful black skin molds with mine perfectly is pure art. We're different but we really are better together. We look so good together. I don't care what anyone else wants to say. This feels so right. We belong together. Whether your black or not, we were meant to be. Your the one for me. Can you see it?"

I nod at him, tears threatening to spill. He has no idea how much that what he just said means to me. It means everything to me. He means everything to me.

Words can't describe how touched I am at his words. To know that even though everyone around us is against us being together, he still loves me, he still needs me.

I grasp his jaw and caress it slightly and I look at his eyes with so much intensity, hoping that he would get the emotion that I'm trying to showcase. When he gets it, he closes his eyes and smiles softly.

"June. I want you to always remember that even though you are black and I am white, together, we are one."
