1231 Words
I am nervous as I'm about to meet Harry's father. I need to plan on what to get for him before visiting them. I should be happy he's finally home, for our wedding plans to commence. But I feel otherwise. The men's boutique close to the Oil and Gas company is where I will get beautiful and luxurious gifts that will help gladden his heart. Everyone loves gifts, no matter how much they are. The memories of the one-night stand I had kept occurring to me. I hope to have that encounter again. It has a way of flashing through my mind at times. How can I spend two weeks with them? I need to prepare well. My father in law to be is back home. I informed Debbie. We have a wedding to plan, she said, blushing as if she was the one getting married. Debbie is genuinely happy and wants the best for me. I will be spending two weeks with them. Tomorrow morning I will be leaving here. Her facial expressions changed suddenly. Someone who was blushing. I will be back before you know it, I assured her. Billionaire Derrick and his son are planning to receive Shirley. She has to be comfortable here, Harry said. “Love Birds”, his father mocked him. Clouds were forming as I was preparing to leave for Harry's place. Why today? The cab man I ordered saved me. He arrived exactly on time. The cab man spotted the expensive diamond ring on my finger. “Congratulations ma'am,” he said with a smile. Even though he doesn't know me from anywhere. “Thank you” I responded while looking elsewhere. I don't want to have any further conversations with him. He should concentrate and drive before it starts raining. Billionaire Derrick is sitting in the parlour going through his office files. He had been away for a while now. “ Overall chef” he mocked his son, who was in the kitchen cooking to impress his fiancée. “I am cooking for all of us, Daddy”, he defended himself while laughing. My phone chirped loudly in my bag and I picked up the call immediately. “Sweetheart, are you on your way?”, Harry asked. I'm just a few kilometres to your estate. I can't wait to see you. Come and check who's at the door, Billionaire Derrick called out to his son as he heard the doorbell ring. Harry couldn't hear the call. It may be his fiancée, he guessed, while walking towards the door with that thought in his mind. What are you doing here, young lady? You followed me home to embarrass me again? I don't have time for you, I replied harshly. I'm here to see my fiancé. What! His eyes were wide open, eyebrows raised and jaws dropped open. Harry? My son? Maybe I am daydreaming. Harry overheard some murmurings from the living room and hurried to go and check. He hugged me and gave me a peck on my forehead. “Ohhh, you have met my father already” he asked, while taking my bags to our bedroom. All words vanished from my mind, I was so speechless. What kind of crazy coincidence is this? The table was set for us with different kinds of mouth-watering dishes and drinks. I was so uncomfortable and looked confused. Eating was the last thing on my mind. I'm finished! This man will never accept me as his daughter-in-law. Son, won't you introduce your fiancée to me, billionaire Derrick asked, as they couldn't get over each other at the dining table. Sorry Daddy, anytime I'm close to her, I can't think straight, I love her to the moon. My love, meet my father, CEO of Moore's Corporations. Daddy, meet Shirley, the love of my life. His father smiled. She's indeed, he added. I barely touched my food, I'm overwhelmed. Different thoughts hovered in my mind at the same time. How do I get out of this mess? Are you going to pretend we've not met before? He startled me as I went to the kitchen to pack the plates. I panicked because I didn't notice he was following me. “Does my son know the work you do”? You're an unbelievable young lady. A saint during the day and devil at night! Gosh! I didn't utter a word to him. What will I even say to him? I just know it will be over between me and his son if he utters a word about my encounter with him. You won't believe it, Debbie. I met him here. Believe what? Who did you meet? And where? Debbie asked many questions at the same time. Just guess who I saw at Harry's place. You know I'm not good at that. The way you are stammering, hope all's well with you. The billionaire I had a one-night stand with on Saturday. What about him? She asked as I was finding it hard to talk. He's Harry's father. What! Tell me you're playing pranks with me, she asked. I wish I am actually but that's the truth. I don't know what to do. My eyeballs twinkled in distress. Debbie calmed me down because she was also overwhelmed, and didn't know what to say. Nice having you around, my guy. How was your vacation? Isaac asked his friend when they met at the bar after he was back from his business trip. Billionaire Derrick was blushing and smiling. I don't have that lady's contact for you, the way you're blushing, Isaac mocked his friend. Because he requested contact with the lady, he had a one-night stand, but Isaac refused to give it out. I don't need it anymore, he said while sipping his beer. What! It's good you have a change of mind. I have the full package at home, he added. What do you mean by that? Isaac asked. The lady I had the one-night stand with is my son's fiancée, the lady he is about to get married to. What! That's not possible. Isaac couldn't believe his ears. What I want, is now in my house living with me under the same roof. Do you want to chase after your son's fiancée, Isaac asked, sounding surprised. I can't get her off my mind, he said. That's impossible! I won't support you on this, Isaac said while removing his debit card from his wallet to pay for their bills. Harry noticed I'd not been myself since I came. He assured me his father doesn't have a problem with us being together. Unknowingly to him, that's not even my problem. Living with this guilt in this house is like heal to me. Billionaire Derrick will certainly expose me to his son. As I was thinking of the next step to take, as my fiancé left for the office, I heard a voice burst and a knock on the door. Open the door ,we have unfinished business. He begins to threaten me if I don't open the door. While knocking on the door continuously. This man is bent on frustrating my life. Billions of thoughts overshadowed my mind. I don't know which one to go with. My heart began beating like someone who went for a thousand kilometer race. What does he want me to do for him?
