Ticking Bomb
I excused myself from the dining room and marched hurriedly towards the Living room. I was so excited to meet him, I missed him so much. "Mark, I called out to have him put down his glass of Juice and have him walk towards me.
How have you been,Aurora he asked? "I'm fine". He cupped my cheeks and admired me lovingly. "You have no idea of how much I missed you. After saying this he crushed his lips on mine. At that moment nothing mattered and I didn't want it to stop. We went on for a while before pulling out resting our foreheads together.
"Come with me I want you to meet my family. Hmmm he nodded and followed my lead. We arrived to find my Aunt's chatting among themselves and Grandmaa talking to Dad and Mom utterly quiet, I was really worried about her. Mark walked towards Mom and pecked her. Mom, he greeted. "Son I'm so glad you're back. "Sir he greeted. "Mark, Dad responded. "Honey meet my Grandmaa Amelia,My Aunt Olivia and Aunt Emma.
Ma'am's Mark greeted. He walked to Grandmaa and kissed her hand. "How respectful. "You're so handsome in person,Aunt Olivia intoned. "Thanks ma'am,Mark responded with a nochalant face. "Oo spare me the ma'am,call me Aunt.
"Of course Aunt he responded with a brief smile. "Mark dear have a seat and eat something. "That's kind of you Mom".
"Yeah Mom is right I will serve you myself, I said with a smile. "That's very kind of you.
"It's nothing really, I replied".
Aurora wouldn't stop feeding me even when I told her I was full. "Peach I'm satisfied".
Is that my new name? Yes it is cause you're my peach. "Hey stop it my family members are watching. I blurted trying to hide my flushed face. "When do you two plan on having kids? Grandmaa intoned.
I reluctantly looked at Mark who had an unreadable expression on his face. "Mom I think that's their choice to make, Dad intoned. "Nonsense don't you want to become a Grandpa, it's indeed a blessing you have a daughter she's going to do the job her mother couldn't do.
Excuse me...I intoned walking out of the dining room I couldn't stay there to listen anymore. "Aurora" I heard mom call after me." That's it, enough mother you always find the slightest chance to ruin everything... William roared. "What's wrong with what I said." Mark was like a ticking bomb, just one more word from the Old woman and that's it his moment to blow up. Mark please go after her, Kim said. Excuse me, he said and walked out.
Where did Aurora go, he asked one of the maids he met down the hallway. "She's by the lake Sir. Mark quickly made his way to the lake. " Hey are you okay?
Yes I am fine, you shouldn't be here you should be resting you must be tired from your trip." Why did you run off? Mark asked
I couldn't stand it anymore, I've been trying my best to smile and act like everything is okay but I can't take it anymore. Grandmaa has been picking on my Mom ever since she got here. I don't understand why someone will hate a woman like my Mom. I mean there's nothing to dislike about her. "Hey it's okay, come here. " I rushed and embraced him. Come on let's go and keep you warm and probably do stuff that make babies. I elbowed him. "Ouch that hurts,he smiled.
You deserve more than that for trying to pull my legs. "Come" he said stretching out his hand. I smiled and took his hand as we walked into the mansion.
