Chapter 22
Brian's POV
I was sitting on the sofa when a maid came in with the tea and cookies, when I looked at the cookies with my scrutiny eyes they are the rose cookies they were made only when either justin or austin is here, they can't spend a day without eating them, they both just love these cookies since childhood that too especially made by Aunt Emaline.
" Are Austin or Justin here? " I asked the maid but she kept mum. If they are here, why didn't they tell me? My eyes roamed around the hall except the maid doing their chores. Nobody was present . I was about to get up when aunt and grandma came in but they were not alone, there was a girl walking behind them. I tried to remember if I knew her but I came up with nothing. Who is she and why is she here with grandma when she didn't meet with anyone just like that .
Grandma is smiling widely, I don't know why but I got this feeling that whatever it is, this is not good for me. Grandma came in front me, I got up to face her, " Grandma is austin, justin here. "
" No, son why did you think so if they were here they would inform you about their arrival before me. Then why these rose cookies they were made only when they were here. "
" Ohh, these are not for them these are made especially for her. " My eyes grew wide. What the hell? She is so special that aunt's rose cookies were made for her.
" Ohh son, I forgot to introduce her to you. She is Andrea, she is the daughter of my very close friend and I am considering her to be our daughter- in-law. "
" Ohh, So for justin or for austin. "
" For you, you are the elder one you will get married first between three of you and for austin and justin i will look for them when there time comes, they are still young to get married. "
" Grandma can I talk to you for a minute alone. "
Sure, she moved her wheelchair towards the living room and i followed her . She turned around with a frown on her face, "What is it ?"
Damn this tone i am not afraid of anything in this world except this tone and cockroaches both the things just creep me out so damn much. " Grandma, I don't want to get married. "
" Son, you are getting old day by day. It's the right time for you to get married and I want to play with grandchildren. Above all, I want you to have your own family, someone you can rely on completely before I die. "
" Grandma you know, I don't like it when you talk about that I won't let anything happen to you, you are not going anywhere leaving me alone. "
" She smiled, Son, I am getting old. One day I will be gone and death and birth can not be controlled by anyone. It's the nature of the world that everyone has to die one day or another. "
" But I don't want to get married. "
" You are so young you don't have any other options. "
" I don't know who she is, how she is no nothing, how I can get married to her. "
" I am not getting you married right away. You have a few months to know her, understand her, make her understand who you are, how you are, everything. " But.
" No ifs and buts son if you have someone you like or you want to get married as much as I know you I doubt if you have one because you never had a girlfriend if you have introduce her to me I will get you married to her. Either her or anyone of your choice you are going to get married before this year ends and you have no choice in it. "
I whined but she dismissed me and walked away. " Stop standing there with that grumpy face, come into the hall, greet her, talk to her nicely. "
Bullshit, greet her. I don't greet people where the hell she came from. I never heard grandma mentioning her or her very close friend. I walked behind her, and stood beside her when I didn't take the initiative to talk. Grandma glared at me. I cleared my throat and nodded my head at grandma. " Hi Andrea."
" Hi Brian, come sit down, I will make a tea for you. " She her audacity, she is asking me to sit down at my own house how funny, I gave her a cold expression and she lowered her eyes. I took my cup from her hand and she smiled and bowed her head down like maids do when the greet me or gave me something and sat down on the sofa in front of me. I quickly took a picture of rose cookie before anyone can notice.
" When, I will tell justin and austin about it, I damn sure they are going to create a fuss about it to grandma."
" I am going to my room grandma I need to finish some work see you later. "
" Son, I will inform you when the dinner is ready. "
" Okay Aunt. " I came inside my room i was about to lock the door when she came in and knocked on it. " Do you need something Arena. "
" Andrea its andrea brian not arena her face fell down. "
" Ohh right , If you need something you can go ask from any maid or aunt they'll give you."
" No, I don't want anything. I was getting bored so I thought about spending some time with you here. "
" Then why don't you go play in the game room or better you can go play with the pets or can do the horsing whatever you like it's up to you only. "
" No, I don 't like animals, they are unhygienic, they can infect us I would suggest you to stay away from them as well they are not good for your health."
I ignored her nonsense, " When did you come here, I didn't hear anyone mention your arrival. "
" I am not staying here, I have my own house in this city, I am living there. I arrived a day before yesterday to meet you and grandma. I came here at night and yesterday grandma restricted maids from telling you anything about my arrival, you know to surprise you. "
" Yeahh, to give me a shock. " She tried talking to me with some useless, uninteresting topics which irritated me why can she understand i don't want to talk to her or marry her. If it's not for grandma I would have scared her to the core so she won't come again this close to me even on a 10 m radius around me.
" Listen, I don't want to get married to you or to anyone so don't make your hopes high. "
" Its Andrea and we can know each other, I mean I know about you, you can know me we can do courtship. "
" Listen andrea, arnea or whatever your name is get that straight to your head, I am not interested in getting married and you are definitely not my type, I am tolerating you here for the sake of grandma so you better stay away from me,( I said in a shrieked voice she shrunken in the corner her hands were shivering) and don't you dare tell this to grandma, if you uttered even a word in front of her, I will lock you with all the animals we have in the dark room. Now get out. " She managed to take two steps when a maid came and informed us that the dinner is ready. I went in the dining room.
" Where is she Brian? "
" How would I know grandma? I didn't see her. I was in my room doing my work. You don't worry she must be coming. "
" Why don't you go change your clothes and call her out for dinner are going out somewhere. "
" Yes grandma, I forgot to tell you I have some business and the location of it is far away from the castle I often get stuck in the traffic and it wastes lots of my precious time. So, I am planning to stay at my penthouse till the work got completed it will be easy for to travel from there and she is not child who would get lost the direction, she can come by her own, if needed maids will guide her. " ( If I stayed here grandma will surely force me to spend some time with her, I don't want to look at her face forget about talking. )
" But, I thought you would spend time with andrea here. "
" I am sorry grandma, this work is really important to me and I can't delay it either or I'll disobey you. "
" Okay if it's important you can go i give you the permission. "
" Thank you, young lady. "
" Come Andrea, dinner is ready we were waiting for you, come let's eat together. "
I finished my dinner, got up kissed grandma " I am leaving bye grandma, bye aunt. " When I did not mention the girl grandma pinched me at my biceps and avert her eyes towards the girl.
" Bye son take care and if you need anything please let me know. "
" Are you going somewhere " she asked I frowned yes replied. " Ohh, I thought we will have drinks and chit chat through out the night. " Did she have amentia, I told her in the room clearly that I have nothing to do with her she is still audacious to ask me.
" Bye Grandma, I am getting late. " I walked out of the house and told the driver to drive the cca. I asked about the stocks update they were delivered safely. I took updates of other businesses of the day. The pdfs of bulk sales were sent to me on daily basis on my way I checked them.Till the time I reached at the penthouse I was so tired and the sleeping pill I ate began to affect me my eyes became drowsy, I went straight to shower took a quick shower wrapped the towel and lay down on the bed. I didn't realise when I dozed off. I changed position my hand found a soft warm pillow I hugged it tightly and went into slumber. I saw a dream someone pushing my head and slapping me at my arm. I suddenly felt pain as if someone was pulling my hair. I grunted and basked myself in the cosy warmth of the pillow.
When I felt ticklish I pulled myself back and opened my eyes and realised it's not a pillow it's her venus s**t with all the work, escape of grandma's surprise c*m shock with all the things happening I totally forgot about her yesterday. She tried to remove my hands from which i had grasped her waist when she failed she pinched me hard." What the f**k, what are doing " I yelled.
" What, I am doing what the hell are you doing here in my bed in my room. "
" Did you forget this is my room and my bed and i was sleeping. "
" But, I am staying in this room from the time I am here and how can you sleep with me. "
" I can do whatever I want, I don't have to ask you. " She punched me at my shoulder, before I can say something she rushed to the bathroom.
