We marched inside and our sister waved at us "𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜" Rose said trying to brighten up our mood. She definitely doesn't want any fight between us

My father looked at me with calm expression ready to give me news of my marriage. I sat in between rose and killen

"𝙒𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣" I started cause I don't know how that thing will brought up and I definitely don't want it soon "𝙮𝙚𝙖 𝙬𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙" Rose replied with the same tenderness in her voice. I am sure she is definitely yelling inside her head that we should never do this family gathering, it's boring, frustrating or I wanna go home

"𝙎𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜" My mom finally brought up this topic as they look at my facial expressions, trying to figure out if I am ok or not but does it matter I mean they will tell me soon and they are excepting me to say yes which I don't wanna

"𝙃𝙢𝙢 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩? " I say like I am completely clueless, little did they know I know about everything "𝙨𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙬....." I choked on my drink, why are they so direct. I signalled them to continue "𝙨𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙬" I didn't thought they would surprise me with being way too direct, I didn't even get time to make some excuse "𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮, 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪"

This means I don't have a choice

"𝘿𝙖𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨" I motioned rose to do the same "𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝 𝙙𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙗𝙧𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜" She quickly understood her assignment. She can be naughty sometimes but really help when needed "𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙝𝙚'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩"

Killen looked at me as if he is said something right or he shouldn't have mentioned it "𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚, 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩" My dad had a quite of suprise look and some kind of shocked one, I don't know how to describe it "𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙮, 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚" My mom was clearly happy and wants to know more about her well that means she is clearly on my side, not my problem but marriage is still too early. I wish they would stop now. My parents think that they are getting old and want to play with my childrens before dying but they are not that old

My mother is afraid that I will become like my father workaholic and not a care about the world just focus on making money

She wants to to settle in my life well I don't blame her but still I won't agree on this ridiculous thing

"𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙥" I yelled so that they would stop bombarding me with questions "𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙣𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙬" I said every word clear so that they would understand this one thing, well there is no harm about telling them I am seeing someone at least they will drop the idea of seeing womens for me and all those blind dates which I am clearly not interested in

They didn't pressurised me after this and the dinner went good and now I am on my way home with rose by my side "𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚" She asked after a long minute of silence

"𝙈𝙚𝙬" I say, smiling a little "𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚" She asked again and then it clicked my mind, I haven't asked her surname yet. I chuckle I was so excited to know her name that I didn't told her my surname Or asked about her's

"𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬" I say still smiling and she looked at me all shocked

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬" She was surprised, she never expected that I will be seeing someone and now this

"𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙣'𝙩 𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙚𝙩" I answered casually like it's nothing

Should I tell her about me taking her to shopping on killens mall, I mean she won't kill me for that will she

Killen was all okay about it but throwed a fit after seeing me in the parking lot because I was late for the family gathering and he had to handle my parents for going insane

I want to thank killen personally for this

"𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩" I rolled her eyes "𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙣" She didn't said anything and looked outside the window "𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧, 𝙢𝙚𝙬 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩" She quickly looked at me when I said this "𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧" She was smiling now and that made me smile to

"𝙔𝙚𝙨" I focused on the road as her home came "𝙄𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙨"

I asked her when I saw the lights on "𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝 𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩"

"𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣" The door opened revealing rose husband who marched towards us and opened the gate for rose "𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨" She say as they both went inside the house

I started the car and went home

Carmel came running to me and I pick her up in my arms "𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙮" Carmel purred in my arms

I smiled and went to my office, settling carmel on my lap I opened the laptop

I had to check some files of the new project I have been working on

This project is not small it's rather big one and if it failed it will leave a big impact on the company which I don't want

Carmel played with my shirt, she looks good today and that was a relief. Aunt took her to the vet this evening and found out she is close to her heat that's why she has been behaving like this

Well in her case she is pretty sensitive, the vet has given a medicine which would reduce the pain but they suggested that I should let her mate

Carmel has taken her medicine and must be feeling a lot fine according to my aunt

Carmel meowed at me, wanting my attention so I patted her head trying to focus on the laptop as well as to Carmel

But not for long cause when Carmel wants attention she wants all the attention

I was finished checking the files so I closed the laptop and caressed her fur

My phone made a noise and I looked at it, I smiled it was mew (name flashed honey)

𝙷𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚢

𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚢, 𝙸 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚎𝚗𝚓𝚘𝚢𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚝

𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚎𝚕

𝙰𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚢

𝙷𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚢

𝚂𝚘 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎

She asked and I looked at Carmel well technically my attention is for Carmel right now but i can still text her or maybe even call her

𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚎𝚕

𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑 𝙸 𝚊𝚖 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎

𝙷𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚢

𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚒 𝚌𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗

𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚎𝚕

𝙳𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚊𝚜𝚔 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚍𝚘 𝚒𝚝

After few seconds my phone rang, her honey voice came through making me smile "𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜" I asked still patting carmel "𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙" I hummed waiting for her to say something else "𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙛 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙮" She hesitated but still asked, it was cute "𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚"

"𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 4" I can sense the excitement in her voice as she spoke damn she is full of surprises not that I mind, instead I like this side of her "𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮"

She hummed and cut the call. This was quick than I expected, I thought we would talk for hours like some aunties gossiping "𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙮" I said to Carmel and went to the bed with her

The next morning

It's around 8 am and I am all ready to leave for office carmel is all well today and that's giving me a relief

She is sleeping and i don't like to wake her up but we gotta leave for aunts house. I slowly pick her up in my arms as I leave for my car

I settled her on my lap and went to aunts house first, leaving carmel there I went to the office where I found killen and rose already waiting for me with Tyler

What in the hell Tyler is doing here, Tyler was wearing his comfy clothes instead of his formal one. He is wearing comfy clothes that means he isn't here for work but for gossiping or having fun

On the other hand rose and killen had their formal clothing makes me wonder what work they have in the morning

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙪𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜" I sat on my chair keeping my usual behavior "𝙏𝙮𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙪𝙨" Rose said and I figured it at this point but I still don't know what they will ask me now

"𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬" I asked them "𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨" Tyler said first making me sigh "𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙬𝙤" Knowing Tyler he wouldn't be satisfied till I say something interesting. I know he won't leave me and i'll be happy to tell him that i sucked her toes while having sex

"𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙙𝙖𝙙'𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙚𝙮𝙚" Killen says while tyler snickered and i sighed "so what did you found out" I asked to rose who hasn't said anything till now

"𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩" Rose sat on the chair with her arms crossed waiting for my reply or any more questions

"𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙪𝙙𝙚" Killen looked at me with some unreadable expression, I don't know how to explain his expression and I am not getting the right words for it "𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧"

I say calmly, not even a bit Unbothered by their questions "𝙮𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧" Tyler added making me glare at him "𝙜𝙤𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙄 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨" I say, trying not to sound like I am yelling but I am yelling

They all looked at me but didn't said anything, maybe they just don't know how to reply to my this statement well I can't blame them when I just said something like this

"𝙊𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣'𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩" Rose showed me a picture of mew who was eating ice cream at the mall cafeteria probably taken by the cameras

Just how far they went with this, I didn't thought they are this serious about knowing her or maybe because dad asked them to find out

"𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙧" I say bringing all the attention towards myself as if I am a famous celebrating and going to reveal the secret of my life "𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩" Rose squealed making me smile

"𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜" I warned and they were silent in a second, they do listen

The phone rang and after some time she picked it up "𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤" I say waiting for her reply

"𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙤" Her sleepy voice came through the phone, she is still sleeping gosh I feel bad for ruining her precious sleep to just to satisfy these 3 monkeys asses

"𝘿𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙥 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮" I say while everyone in the room gave each other looks I don't wanna define "𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙜𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬" She replied and cut the call immediately

I was confused now, interview at my company so she is coming here. As much as I remember the interview starts at around 11 am and it's 10 am right now I can sense her hurry when she spoke, it's cute

I was smiling to myself when killen, rose and Tyler gave me looks of teasing. I wish I didn't know what they are thinking but I know really well that they all are planning something mischievous and i don't wanna know. They all smile to themselves making my smile disappear. I can just hope the idea they are cooking in their brain is not something terrible.....
