Lima's POV

ARI IS GETTING MARRIED.

‎Ari broke the news to me when we were on our way home from her office.

‎I had gone to her office to give her the midday meal I made for her as usual and I noticed she was exceptionally happy today. I had immediately known there was something going on because recently too she had been more excited than usual, spent long hours on the phone with one Mr Marco and rarely scolded me even when I was deliberately trying to annoy her. I had asked why she was so happy but she simply shrugged, allowing me to settle down and driving out of the estate where her workplace is situated before slowly opening a section and bringing out a beautiful blue box. She was smiling as if the box held the key to heaven. As she handed it over to me I gently opened and gasped at the diamond ring sparkling in the box.

‎'Oh wow' I thought.

‎'okay mummy, this is really beautiful but what exactly is going on?'

‎'I'm engaged' she was grinning. 'Marco came by the office today during lunch hour and proposed to me'

‎ Ari is my mother but most of the time people assume we are sisters; or aunt and cousin. Anything but mother and daughter because we do not give the mother and daughter impression. Not to was my mother's dirty linen in public, truth is that mum had me when she was eighteen. In her first year of college her college sweetheart had found a way to convince her she couldn't get pregnant since it was going to be her first time. Hahaha. {even I know that's not true and I'm only sixteen} Mum got pregnant and decided to keep me. She left school for a while till I was old enough to be in the creche before going back to school and here we are today, I'm sixteen going on seventeen and momma just got engaged.

‎'Oh mum, congratulations ' I said, throwing my arms around her 'I am so happy you're going to get married and I'm going to have a dad, when can I meet him?'

‎'Let me see... tomorrow's a Saturday. He'll come over to our place tomorrow.'

‎I squealed happily,ate ice cream and we sang along with the music player all the way home.

‎ ************************

‎When Ari said 'I'm engaged' , I didn't stop to wonder what sort of man Marco would be or how he would look or if he would even like me at all. All i cared about was that I would now have someone to call dad and that he would deeply,truly love Ari.

So nothing could have prepared me for the shock I met when mum called to tell me to come downstairs because Marco had arrived and wanted to meet me.

He was seated calmly on our couch holding a glass of wine and as soon as he saw me,he placed his wine on the table and stood up.

I was stunned. Holy shit! Who was this man? I can't say for sure but this man seems over six feet tall, full curly hair and a handsome oval face. His shoulder muscles bulged against the shirt he was wearing and I yearned to touch. I had been expecting a wrinkly, middle aged man who was more concerned about making money than looking good but Marco had turned out the very opposite.

'Hello' his deep baritone sent shivers down my spine as I struggled for composure, taking his extended hand as he grinned down at me. A white even set of teeth. Perfect!

'You must be Ari's daughter, Lima' I wasn't sure if I'll be able to form the words so I simply nodded.

He went on and on about how much mum had told him about me and how much he loves mum and how willing he was to be the best father ever to me if I was going to accept him.

'you will call me daddy right? '

' Let's see.' I said. If only he knew the thoughts running through my head now. I am supposed to live in the same house with this hot man? Oh, I wanted him already, I remember all the fantasies I, Kate and Dian had shared about the first time we'll do it {you know what} and none of which included doing it with my to-be stepfather.

I sighed and shook such thoughts out of my head. After all, this is mothers fiance. I should not be thinking of him in that manner. He's out of bounds.

After we ate a delicious meal that Ari had meticulously prepared and we all sat watching a TV show, I found my eyes roaming around him, drifting to his middlepart. Goodness! The outline of his crotch was enticing. He would surely have a large cock. I groaned inwardly. If only he didn't have to be my dad.

'Lima' Mom called, concerned.

I smiled at her, forced the ungodly thoughts out of my mind and joined in discussing their wedding plans.
