Her warm smile, her pink lips and her golden locks were the things that attracted me to her. The way how she calls my name with her young sweet voice was like a magical melody to my ears. Eyes that speak of her thoughts and feelings were one of her assets. She was the kind of girl Mom used to talk to me about very lady-like, well-mannered and calm.
Since then, the three of us became friends and we grew up together except for Lyana who is always going with her parents in some business trips. I came to know her better, even the down side of her being. And for the last three weeks, I started liking and dating her.
I knew since then that she was the girl I like and who I would like to spend each time of every day. But after what happened nine years ago, I reconsidered.
While earnestly thinking, I heard my phone ringing so I immediately grabbed it and checked out the screen.
Grandma calling.
"Hi grandma." I said, picking it up.
[Hey sweetie, guess who's coming over for dinner tonight. ]
She sound so exciting, I can hear it through her voice. "Who?"
[Hmm, let's just say that it's going to be a family dinner tonight. You know what I mean sweetie?]
Family dinner? Heck no. "That would be great. Bye." Call ended. I hope I didn't sound fake and harsh when I said that. So, they're coming over again huh? This is hell.
ninth minutes before seven o'clock. I have to hurry before hell comes. How can I excuse myself? Lunare! Yes, I'd tell them I have a date with Lunare! I ran towards the shower as fast as I could and took a bath.
I was a quick-mover so it took me only 7 minutes to get ready. Right after I finish putting on my hair wax, I heard Grandma shout, "Kurt, sweetie, get ready. They'll be arriving at 5 minutes from now."
Heck no. I have to hurry. I put my essentials in my bag - phone, money, iPod, car keys. As I ran downstairs I shout, "I'm sorry Grandma but I have a date with Lunare." I'd just pick her up at her house; I have no time to inform her, I thought to myself.
As I reach the ground floor, a girl standing beside Grandma is looking confusedly at me.
"You didn't tell me we have a date."
"Lunare?! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed. I turned to Grandma and saw the grin on her face.
"Well, I just thought it would be nice if we have Lunare joining us for dinner. Right honey?" She put her arms on Lunare's shoulder, as if trying to make her agree. "Yea." said Lunare, ngumit siya ng tipid
Oh no. I have no way out. Wait. Jade! I need him here. "Well I guess it would also be great if I'd invite Jade over for dinner too." Nice thinking Kurt.
"He's not part of the family, sweetie."
"And Lunare is?" My face was full of disappointment and I know Lunare's offended with what I said, it's obvious.
"She will be soon." Yeah, she's up with her evil plans again. Grandma's nice, sweet and cheerful but she's kind of annoying. No one, I mean no one, ever tried to go against her except me.
Being the owner of the largest finance company in the country, she has a name a name even aliens outside the planet know. Ever since middle school, she always wanted Lunare to be her grand daughter-in-law. For me, Lunare would be the ideal grand daughter-in-law for every grandma's out there she has the beauty, the brains, and the talent. No wonder why there were countless guys out there who hated me whenever I'm with her. But I can't let Grandma decide for me.
Being a born Aristotle, I defended, "Oh, you're going to marry her Grandma? Congratulations." Yeah, Grandma would walk-out now.
But she didn't. She never lost. She's born to win. With that smile, which I hate and it's irritade , she said, "Oh come on sweetie, stop making me laugh. You're going to marry her. And that's final." She smiled again and I'm irritated.
Lunare brightened up after hearing that. Damn. I love you Grandma but please let me kill that devil inside you.
