Vienna's POV

"So how was Greece?" Samantha asked as we all sat in the huge living room having dessert.

"My goodness! Greece was simply mesmerising...so amazing that I wished I could stay there forever" I replied taking a bite of the heavenly looking brownie.

"Well...I'm at least expecting a grandchild out of this trip" Grace said as her bluntness almost made me chock on my dessert.

"Well, Sam just won't listen to me so I have completely given up on her..." She paused giving Samantha a look which made her roll her eyes.

"So I'm putting all my hopes on you" She continued as Ryan just shook his head.

"Mum! Come on! I'm too young to have a child and I'm not even married yet" Samantha said and by the tone of her voice I could tell that she has already had this conversation with her mother too many times for her liking and now she's just irritated.

"Babe, Vienna is young too...maybe she's just the same age as you and they are not married yet too" Landon replied with a slight shrug and by what he said, it almost seemed like he was ready to have a child but Samantha wasn't.

"Yeah. She's just a year older than you, sister" Ryan said teasingly as I just shook my head, it seems like they are all teaming up against Samantha.

"Dear brother, you are not the one being asked to carry a child for the next nine months inside you and then spend a good eighteen to twenty years of your life taking care of that child, so I would appreciate if you stayed out of it" Samantha replied before looking at Landon as I couldn't help but chuckle at her words.

"And you, Landon. Do you want to have a child at this point of life?" She asked.

"No, no. Absolutely not" He replied quickly.

"Then why are you talking like you are on my mother's side" She said.

"Babe, she's my soon to be mother-in-law, I've gotta be in her good books" He replied jokingly as we all laughed except Samantha who just rolled her eyes.

"Ignore them all, sweetie. And do keep my request in your mind" Grace said holding my hand and I could tell that this was something she genuinely wished for.

"Yes of course, Grace. I'll keep that in mind" I replied placing my hand on hers with a smile.

"And what about me? You are not even asking for my opinion in all of this. What if I don't want a child yet" Ryan said as I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I know he's just messing with his mother.

"Well then, I'll have to ask this beautiful young woman here into tricking you by convincing you that she's on pills when actually she's not and..." Grace replied only for Ryan to interrupt her.

"Okay okay, mum. I got it. No need to get into the details" He said almost embarrassed as I laughed at his face before walking over to him and taking a seat beside him.

"Well then don't mess with your mother, honey" Grace replied.

"Shut up" He mumbled to me but that made me laugh even more.

"Aww my pouty baby" I said pulling his cheek to annoy him even more.

"Okay so I'll have to leave you kids alone now as I need to go meet a friend" Grace said already on her way out.

"Wait. A friend? Like a ‘friend’ friend?" Scarlett asked grinning as I smiled at her question but everybody else in the room went awkwardly silent as Grace turned to look at her.

"Shut up, Scar" Ryan said firmly before looking at his mother who was standing behind the couch we were sitting on.

"Where's Steve? Mum" He asked concerned, I guess he's talking about her bodyguard or driver maybe.

"He's right outside, son. Don't worry" She replied with a soft smile, patting his cheek before kissing his forehead.

"What?" He asked as he caught me staring at him once Grace left.

"Nothing...I just love seeing different shades of you...a concerned son, a protective brother, a fun friend and..." I paused purposely resting my head on his chest as he wrapped an arm around me, rubbing my arm up and down.

"And..." He raised an eyebrow, asking me to continue.

"A loving boyfriend" I continued.

"Well. I would like to correct you there..." He paused as I looked up at him.

Have I said something wrong?

"A loving fiance" He continued, making me smile as I leaned in to kiss him.

"Hate to cut you guys short but we have decided that we are going clubbing tonight to celebrate your engagement" Samantha said snapping us out of our moment.

"Great. Then go and finally leave us alone" Ryan replied as Samantha scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"And when exactly did you plan that we are going clubbing" I asked ignoring Ryan's comment.

"No we are not, they are" Ryan said.

"While you two were busy romancing" Scarlett popped in a reply.

"You and Charlotte cannot enter the club, you both are not even eighteen yet" Ryan said raising a good point.

"Well we can" She replied as Ryan raised an eyebrow.

"Being the owner's sisters has it's own perks" Charlotte said with a shrug.

"Great. Then you guys carry on while I'll stay back and get some good sleep" Ryan said as I just shook my head knowing that he's just making excuses. He's not sleepy...at all.

"What are we wearing?" I asked making Samantha grin ear to ear.

"That's my girl" She replied giving me a high five.

"No that's my girl and she's not going anywhere" Ryan said as I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Ryan. Stop acting like a sixty year old man and get your ass off the couch now, because as Samantha said, we are celebrating tonight" I replied gaining a scoff from him as Scarlett grabbed my arm leading me towards god knows where.

"So all of your stuff is already here, so we can find you something really sexy to wear tonight" She said as I just nodded my head amused by her enthusiasm.

"So how do I look" I asked as I walked up to Ryan, who was waiting for us along with David and Landon, by their cars.

"Sexy" He simply replied.

I ditched all the sexy one pieces in my wardrobe and decided to go with the black high waist jeans that I was already wearing and a shimmery silver backless top with thin straps holding it on my shoulders.

"Come on, let's go" I said stealing a kiss as his hand touched my bare back in the process.

"Turn around" He said as I giggled knowing that he realised I'm wearing backless.

"Sexy right?" I asked teasingly, turning around giving him a good look at my outfit.

"Vienna! Are you out of your mind" He replied in a low voice so no one could hear us.

"This top has no back. It's completely backless" He added.

"Which is why we call it backless" I replied grinning.

"You know you are gonna attract unwanted attention from creepy drunk guys at the club" He said with his jaw clenched just at the thought of what he just said.

"And they'll be harmless as I have you as my bodyguard" I replied stealing another kiss.

"Now come on don't ruin everyone's mood" I added with puppy eyes.

"Fine I'll let it pass this time. But just to warn you, you are about to have a shivery ride" He said with a smirk as I frowned not quite getting what he meant.

"Did they just ditch us?" I mumbled confused as I watched David and Samantha's car pull away.

"Are we not going with them?" I asked turning to Ryan who was walking towards a motorbike...wait that's not just any simple motorbike...that's a damn sports bike.

"Wait. We are not riding that, are we?" I asked.

"Yes we are" He replied smirking.

"Ryan. No. I'm not riding that...especially with you" I said firmly, shaking my head.

"Why? Don't you trust me?" He asked.

"I trust you with my life...but not with that stupid, life threatening bike of yours..." I paused pointing at his bike.

"You ride like a lunatic" I continued.

It's true he does rides a bike like there's no tomorrow...like he doesn't really care about his life...like he has many spare lifelines lying in his pocket.

"And I thought you stopped biking a long time ago when I asked you to, realising how reckless you can be" I said folding my arms.

There was a time back in highschool when we would go on bike rides mostly rather than car rides and of course the speed and the risk sometimes scared me...but it was also exciting in some ways and I enjoyed it to the fullest until one day when he told me how he almost got into an accident while riding that stupid bike.

And just the thought of him getting hurt scared the crap out of me and that was the day I made him promise me that he'll never ride that stupid thing again unless he learns how not to be so reckless on it.

"Yeah, yeah I did but yesterday when our stuff was being moved here, David asked me if I wanted my bike to be moved here too so I said yeah why not" He replied snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Now stop acting like a sixty year old woman and get your sexy ass on the bike now" He added as I just shook my head, realising he is using my own words against me, before walking towards him as he got on the bike.

"You know you love bike rides with me" He said with an arrogant smirk while handing me a helmet.

"Shut up" I replied trying to hide my smile before putting the helmet on and getting on the bike.

"Hold on tight, love" He said as I slid my arms around his waist, holding on tightly.

"Ready?" He asked giving a little accelerator to the bike while still holding onto the brakes, making unnecessary noise.

"Yeah" I shouted over the loud noise the bike was making.

"Whoa" I added as he let go off the brakes and the bike jolted into a lighting speed on the smooth road surrounded by dense trees.

"This does feels great!" I yelled over all the wind that was harshly blowing over my face.

"Told you" He replied.

"I love you Ryan" I yelled once again feeling a rush of adrenaline as well as the cool wind brushing against my bare back, making me shiver, which made me tighten my grip over him, as he just chuckled before taking a sharp turn.

He was right! This is surely going to be a shivery ride!
