As I sat across the ladies of the house, I noticed certain glances and very uncertain meanings.

My mom and Victoria glanced towards me again and sighed before saying a ‘wait’.

It was abhorrent since I was pretty confused with the way they were going on about it and certainly tiring since I also had to meet my editor assigned by the publishing house that contacted me.

“How about you guys just say it?” I mean what’s going to happen, it’s not like I can leave you guys here.

“We think, you and Alex should get engaged.” Victoria said and smiled while my mom continued.

“We don’t want to pressure you but Amy, I think Alex and you really do click. Your Dad agrees with me on this.”

For a second, my gaping mouth exhaled a large firing streak of words but then I stopped and realized, isn’t that what the contract was going for.

Not every relation stands the test of time and this one won’t either. That’s when the breakup will really happen, won’t it?

“Okay.”

“You shouldn’t deny this without thinking, every relation deserves a chance and it’s okay to break apart. Sometimes, we just— hey what?” My mom has a real slow reaction at times.

“I said okay. You should talk to Alex about this. I need to meet the editor too. I’ll be late.” I got up and left.

I sat across the sweet lady who was going to be my editor and we both spoke about the ideas for the sequel of the book they were going to publish on their platform.

With a very fancy name, Evangeline with long blue anime hairs, she smiled with her vampire teeth. She was a fantasy come true for any otaku who is interested in loli types with her short height.

“You know, you can write a little fantastical proposal for the end and few bonus chapter for after that?”

“I’ll think about it later, for now, a draft is ready, and I’ll start working on it.”

“Bye-bye, Amy.” Evangeline got up and waved with her head tilted and made a cute heart at me. She is definitely into Anime. I would not believe anything else right now.

“Bye.” I waved my bye and left to meet Alex for a nice evening as stated by my dear mom.

They definitely want him to do a nice proposal and then, a full-blown engagement party.

I look down at the drafts and a thought crossed my mind.

“At least, one dream is turning into reality even if other will get destroyed.” It was all decision and destiny is nothing but a fraud.

“Hi.” I said as I looked at Alex and smiled at him to sit across him in a very cutesy restaurant and picked up the burger placed in front of me as soon as I came.

I was getting increasingly hungry with each passing second and Alex said “Calm down, no one will take it away from you. Eat slowly and choke. Choke and die.”

“You don’t choke when you eat slowly.” I said as I almost bit my tongue and choked.

“And also, me dying only takes your space away from you, so speak with restraint.” I smiled at him and picked one fry from his tray.

“Why is the prince in the humble abode?” looking around the place, it was way casual for the Atticus Alexeev

He swatted my hand away and said, “I felt that right now, you would need a more casual environment and may be a little calm.”

“I really do. Thank you.” I said and looked around for a while before again diving into my food.

“Want to drink?”

“With you? Naah. I’ll pass.” I drawled and he frowned.

“Fine-fine, don’t make a long face like this. After all, we are soon going to get engaged. So, where are we going for the drink?” and he took my hand naturally while a nice thought floated in my mind and was thrown out the next second.

How nice would it be if we met before all this contract and vase problem, we would have been such good friends.

“At your home, really?” he chuckled and suddenly opened the room right next to his own and viola, in my sight was a paradise for drinkers and liquor enthusiasts. All in black and white interiored, showcased were the bottles of 50s and 60s.

This guy is really frugal. I only broke a vase that wasn’t worth even half the bottles placed here. He could have just forgotten about it but no, he had to reach this place here with me.

I hate all rich people.

“Choose, French or French?” with only one bottle in hand and glasses placed right in front Alex asked with a big smile and I almost chuckled in amusement over the little childishness on his face.

“Whatever you chose sir.”

“With pleasure, Ma’am.”

He handed me the glass and clinked with his before tasting the wine with seriousness and maybe, I don’t really fine the wine that interesting any more as he looked much more interesting at this moment. His Adam’s apple rolled, and my tongue thirsted for just a little sip, and I took one from my glass.

He smiled at me before he finally finished savoring his glass and filled it again and gave some to me.

“You feel good now?” Alex asked as we sat on the sofa.

“I do. Thanks again and I should leave or else I’ll be late to work tomorrow. My leave’s all ended.” I said and got up when he held my hand and pulled me back. The wine got into out head as I didn’t really gave my best at getting up and away from him.

His eyes wavered and stared at mine; it was a moment when he suddenly said, “Sleep at mine.”

“Sleep here. I want you to stay.”

For a while, I stopped and looked in his eyes again and then, out of my control, my head nodded, and we slept at his house, in his room. Nothing happened but it seems, everything did happen.

    Nik looked at his father working on a file and opened his own toy laptop that he got after a lot of begging from his mother. His mother is a nice woman but surely, a strict mom. She loves watching all kinds of drama and she believes that help only when you can, otherwise just sit on the sidelines with a snack to watch. Even Nona believes so. Nona definitely taught Mom well. She is exactly like her. “Hey dad, what do we do now?” Nik asked as he tried to copy his father as he worked on files and other things. Today, he was in his dad’s office as his dear mother had to go for some promotions of her books and also, his little sister went to attend her play school while he, who had his holidays because of exams was left here to work with his father. “You can go and ask Sib to give you games.” Dad said with his eyes still on the screen causing Nik to almost say ‘how rude’ but he stopped because he didn’t want to get smacked again for talking nonsense. Though, Nik felt that those smac

    "Dad, you think it's good?" My seven-year-old son asked as he checked the gift I bought for his mom and my wife."Dad, why do I feel you are cheating on mom?" Nik asked as he touched the necklace and I looked at him incredulously."What are you speaking about?" I don't understand how exactly he reached that conclusion."Well, me and mom were watching this nice drama and–""You and your mom? She let you watch with her?" The woman who is usually shouting all the time about not letting these kids watch drama because they ask questions that are way mind-blowing than anything, let him watch with her..."She didn't let me, I watched myself. These are my eyes, dad." This little twit actually rolled his eyes at me as I kept looking at him and suddenly, he flexed himself and said, "I know I am handsome, no need to stare."I am sure my smiling lips suddenly twitched when I calmed down and said, "You were telling me about why you think I am cheating.""Oh yes, you interrupted me." He said and I

    "Mom!!!!" A loud cry sounded as I let go of the spatula and it felt with a loud clatter, and I hurriedly moved away as I looked behind me to see my daughter of four running towards me with the very expression as if her world has shattered."Pia, what–" little Pia ran to me as her hands wrapped around me and I smiled as her hands wrapped around me knowing whatever she was going to say is going to make me laugh without limit."I think–" her sobs hardened as she reached the part and I wondered what happened to make her cry so much."Baby, calm down, shush now, no more crying." I said as I kept petting her arms and kissed the side of her head and switched of stove leaving the kitchen with her in my arms."Mom, dad–" okay, what did that man do to make her cry like that with no end?"What did he do? Did he shout because you touched his folders and draw on them?" I asked her as I kissed her forehead while wiping her face and cuddling her on the sofa.She shook her head as she denied every sp

    “I think I’m pregnant.” Amelia said as she looked right at the line that proved she was pregnant, and I stilled.“You were on birth control, weren’t you?” I whispered though I was trying to talk.It’s been six months since I married this beautiful woman but all I can feel right now is confused with what is happening right now after I heard what she was talking about.“I am on birth control but this,” she stopped to look at me and came to me to hug after she washed her hands and threw the sticks she used to confirm. “It could be a fake alarm too, you know.”“Right, it’s fake. I don’t want a baby right now and you know it. You want to further your career and I will be leaving for Switzerland in a few days and will only come back after a month or so, we can’t care for a baby right now. We will not take a chance with this. You understand me, right?” whatever I was speaking were the exact thoughts that are clashing in my head but the fear that we will be killing a life was also there.“I k

    I looked down the aisle as we rehearsed the last time before I was really going to be here all dressed in perfection and will be given to the very guy who was standing in front of me.It really isn’t going to be perfect because of how his cousins and my best friend had a lot of things to do in this function yet all of it, in its chaos and imperfection was just so… so perfect.“Nervous again?” I said looking at the guy who was unknowingly moving his legs with nervousness poring out of his every move.“I’ll be nervous until I really have you in my arms.” Surely, even his nervousness couldn’t make his flirtiness go away.“Aww!” our cute and blessed supporter, Miss Sophia Alexeev came with her hands on her cheeks doing her own aww moment…Why? Why can’t we just practice this by ourselves than be here in a fanfare?“Are you done?” Alexander asked Sophia who finally put her hands down and said “No!”Her hands again cupped her face and she blinked her originally big eyes while making a moment
