Kylie heard a horn downstairs. She rolled her eyes when she heard her mom's voice.
"Hunny!! He's here" she yelled.
"I'll be down in a sec!" She yelled in reply.
Kylie grabbed her phone and ran down the stairs. She tried her best not to look the best.
Jackson smiled as she walked towards him.
"Hi, you look pretty"
"Thanks" she replied without smiling.
Jackson opened the door and led her out of the house.
"Have fun!" Sarah yelled as Jackson drove off.

Jackson drove slowly not to get any complain from Kylie. He wondered why she looked so quiet.
He wished he could read her mind to get what she's thinking about.
"How was the girl's night?"
"It was great" she replied quickly.
Jackson raised his eyebrows.
"That was quick. Why are you so quiet?"
Kylie turned her neck to stare at him.
"Do you wanna keep asking me questions or what?"
"Sorry, I just want to feel concern" he replied starting to get angry.
"Don't try hard" she replied and stared back at the road.
He sighed and the car remained silent again.
"Why are you taking me to your family?" She asked.
"Now, you are asking me questions" Jackson rolled his eyes.
"Answer me" she said calmly not to get angry.
Jackson stole glances from her.
"It is a family tradition. I just wanted my family to meet you and I didn't want to take anyone"
"Anyone, you mean Madison? What's wrong with taking your girlfriend to meet your family?" Kylie purposely asked. She remembered when Cindy told her that there was nothing going on between Madison and Jackson.
"She is not my girlfriend. How many times do I have to tell you?" He yelled and repeatedly hit the steering.
Kylie was forced to laugh.
"I just wanted to see your reaction and it was just as I expected"
Jackson slowly smiled as he drove into the compound.
He stopped the car and they alighted from the car.
"Let's go in" he said to Kylie.
Kylie nodded and stared at the mansion. It was huge and beautiful. It has tall fence and a lovely garden.
She walked behind Jackson into the house.
When they finally entered into the house, Dylan and Alice, Jackson's parents were waiting for them.
"Oh my, you are so beautiful my dear Kylie" Alice said slowly as she walked towards Kylie.
She gave her a tight hug and sniffed her neck. Her eyes quickly turned red. Her scent was appealing. She stared at Jackson who was behind Kylie.
As Jackson sighted his mother's eyes, he quickly grabbed Kylie by the waist, preventing her from looking at Alice.
Alice quickly left the scene and tried to calm herself down.
"Dad, she's Kylie. My girlfriend" he lied.
Kylie shot her eyes wide open and stared at Jackson.
He noticed it and pushed her closer to himself.
"Hi Kylie. I'm Dylan" Dylan greeted with a smile.
"Hi sir" she greeted and waved her hand like a gentle girl.
"Let's go to the dining table, Cindy is waiting with Freddie" Alice said as she appeared out of nowhere.
They slowly went to the dining room and sat down.
Alice served the meal and they all started eating.
"What type of meat is this?" Freddie asked.
"It's a rhino" Cindy replied.
Freddie and Kylie both stared at Cindy with shock on their face.
Kylie slowly pushed the plate away.
"Thank goodness I haven't tasted it yet" she thought.
"Do you have to scare our guest? It's cow meat" Jackson replied, laughing slowly.
Freddie laughed and continued eating slowly.
Kylie refused to eat. She only sipped out of her juice and stared low at the table.
"So, Kylie dear. Tell us about yourself"
"Uhh" she groaned and stared at everyone's face. Freddie adjusted his huge glasses to listen to what Kylie have to say.
"I'm Kylie..." She started.
"I'll be eighteen next month. I'm kinda stubborn and calm, I guess"
"I'm glad my son found someone like you" Alice smiled.
Kylie replied with a smile and lowered her gaze.
She wasn't feeling comfortable.
After dinner, Cindy took Kylie to her room.
It was twice as large as Kylie's room. The windows were glass and very attractive.
"Wow!" Kylie was forced to admit.
"Welcome to my room" Cindy said and threw herself to the bed.
"It's so beautiful. I love it. Maybe our next hangout will be here" she replied.
"My family don't really accept visitors that's why I didn't make the venue my place. Even this meeting is once in a year" Cindy replied.
"Ohhh" Kylie said and continued staring round the room.
Alice knocked the door softly and entered into the room.
"Hey girls"
"Hi Mom" Cindy rolled her eyes.
"I'm here to see Kylie. I have a gift for you"
She made Kylie sit in front of the mirror while she showed her a beautiful necklace.
"It's beautiful" Kylie smiled.
"Now, I'll take this off and... Ouch!!"
Alice shook her fingers in pain. She was electrified as she wanted to take off Kylie's necklace.
She turned and stared at the burns on her finger.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing. Just take the necklace and have fun okay?" She said and left.
.
.
Alice pulled Jackson while talking to Freddie.
"Excuse us please" she said and left.
"What happened mom?" He asked as his mother closed the door. He turned and saw his father sitting on the sofa.
"Why did you bring him to the room?" Dylan asked.
"Where on Earth did that girl come from?" She asked angrily.
"Does that matter? You asked me to bring my girlfriend here, I brought her. Please don't complain" he replied.
"You saw my eyes when I hugged her right? Her scent is appealing. Now look at this, my finger got electrified because I touched her necklace. Who the hell is she?"
"I have no idea mom" he shook his head.
"I also noticed something. I couldn't read her mind" Dylan spoke up.
"Yes. Me too. I couldn't" Alice said quickly. She was scared and angry.
"Okay, I can't read her mind too. Neither of us can. Maybe, the necklace got affected or something. I don't know, I don't care. I have to go drop her off right now" he said and turned to leave.
"Wait! I want you to get more closer to her and find out more about her" Dylan said to him.
Jackson glared at his father and left.
He saw Kylie standing by the door already.
"Are you ready to leave?"
She nodded.
