"Don"t mind me mum. You know how I normally joke with things."
My mum looks tired. Ever since my dad died she has been taking care of the company and my cousin and i. She makes sure we lack nothing. She even had her long hair cut just to show us beauty isn"t everything
to her now. My dad took that part of her away with him. He was a loving father who had cancer and died. I wish I could turn back the clock. If we had seen the signs earlier, he would"ve been here with us.
"Mum, there are people Paige and I would like to meet before the wedding. They are friends from high
school. We also want to buy somethings for the wedding."
"Sure, be careful. I only have one problem. You told me your fiance will be coming to see us this weekend. This is my first time meeting him and..."
"Don"t worry mum. He"ll come as soon as we return."
"I"m still asking this. Are you sure you are not pregnant? Because you can"t just marry like that. I don"t
know this guy."
"Mum, I told you he"s a friend I knew when I was in college. He was my professor"s younger brother. We
started dating back then and we just decided to take it to the next level. What else do you want to hear
mum? You know I won"t lie to you."
My mum nods and sighs before leaving.
"That was so close!!! Just shut up next time."
"We are leaving tomorrow right?"
"Yes. I"m just worried. We"ll be leavimg mum here all by herself. She"ll miss us and..."
"Relax, mum will be fine."

"Make sure you girls come back here in one piece. Take care of each other. Eat on time and eat well."
Oh come on woman, we are not three year old sick children.
She keeps talking till we got to the airport. Luckily we came on time. Our flight was about to take off.
"Mum bye. Take care. Please eat as well. Don"t drawn yourself working. Please."
We wave at each other before leaving.
"I just can"t wait to get there. I have a lot of things in my head. William Levy is all mine."
"Stop behaving like a child, Paige. He is even an old man for your age."
"William Levy is never old for my age."
I laugh as she glares at me with an angry look.

After a long flight, we arrived at Mexico. It is our first time in here and it is much more beautiful than what we see in the magazine or on the television. It"s a place one can easily fall in love with.
Few minutes later, Paige and I were at the hotel.
We take the e card and rush to our suit. The place isn"t bad at all.
"I"m starving. Let"s go out and eat."
"I"m tired. Let"s just order."
"What if William Levy is out there. You won"t meet him in here. So we have go out. Move around..."
"Yeah you are right. Let"s go."
She has always been obsessed with this guy ever since she was ten. She"s twenty one and she"s still
crushing on him. I mean, it is impossible.
We get to the restaurant and the scent of wine is everywhere. I heard Mexican"s wine is the best. With the smell, I"m sure they"re right. We sit down and call the waitress.

We finish eating and we sit chatting and just sipping wine. It is great. Paige becomes serious as if she has given a lot of thoughts to something she wants to say.
"Eunice, what if this guy, I mean Acel is a cripple? Or a blind man. Or an ugly face idot?"
I begin to laugh so hard. What is she thinking? My agent would"ve told me.
"What makes you think that, dear?"
"He has refused to send you his pic. Neither has he gotten in contact with you. It"s strange."
"That is why we have an agent. If we do that ourselves, why should and would we pay him then?"
"I think you should ask for his number from your agent."
"OK, I will when we get back. But remember I"m doing this for you. Just because you asked me to. OK?"
She nods and I laugh again.
"Eunice, do you realize those guys have been staring at us for long?"
"Which guys?"
I turn to see two gorgeous strong men staring at us with a smile. I quickly turn my eyes back to my sister. My face blushing like a red tomato.
"Whoa, you are blushing. They"ve not approached you and you begin to blush. Get your cools together."
I laugh again and as the waitress pick up our plates, I ask her to bring our bill.
"Mum please it has already been taken care of."
"What? By who?"
"The man who...oh I think they"ve left."
Paige and I turn to see their seats empty. Well, who ever they are...
"Please thank them on our behalf when you see them. And here, take this for yourself. Thanks." She
leaves after thanking us.
"Amazing. If we had ordered we would"ve paid for them ourselves...there"s no way I"m ordering food as
long as my stay in here."
"But Paige, who are those guys?"
