My Last And My Only

Chapter 17

One month later...

"When am I going to meet your girlfriend, Mikhaela?" Marcus asked. They are having breakfast at the moment.

"Soon, dad." Khae answered.

"Okay..." said Marcus. He looked at his daughter.

"Have you met her parents?" Marcus asked again.

Khae almost choked on her food when she heard Marcus. She gulped.

"No, dad. N-not yet--" Khae said hesitantly.

"Oh, I see. May I ask why?" Marcus asked, he seemed to not like what he heard.

"Dad, our relationship is barely two months old..." She said defensively. Khae knows her dad is expecting more from her.

"Well, I've met your mom's parents even before she became my girlfriend. I courted them first." Marcus said. He was smiling while reminiscing the past.

Well, she already fell for me even before she knew me. I won! Khae thought.

"And her parents are in Cebu... I can't just go there and say hi unless you allow me to, and of course, if Aiah wants to."

Marcus shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm inviting Marla to come over this Saturday, what do you say?"

"Great! 'Will meet her..." Khae said and smiled. It will be her first time meeting her.

"And Aiah--?" Marcus asked. He is waiting for Khae to tell him she'll invite her too.

"Uhm, I will invite her." Khae said.

"Good." Marcus nods his head.

At school...

"Hi girls, can we join you?" Gwen asked Francheska and Lindtsey.

Gwen went to the gazebo with Nica and Christine. She told the girls she will go here to wait for her cousin and the two volunteered to accompany her.

"Hi! Sure, sure!" Francheska said with excitement upon seeing Nica.

"Nica, sit here." She offered the seat next to hers.

Nica immediately took the seat.

Christine and Gwen looked at each other.

Gwen sat next to Yves; and Christine with Lindtsey.

"Are you here for Aiah?" Yves asked.

"Yup."

"We're waiting for them, too." Said Yves.

"Where are you going after school?" Francheska asked Nica.

"We have no plans yet."

"Would you like guys to hang out at Mezzo?

"Hey—" Lindtsey wants to protest. She does not like the idea. I'm pretty sure Christine will be coming.

"What?" Francheska asked.

"Nothing."

"So, would you like to join us?" Francheska looked at Nica and the girls.

"Sure..." Nica told Francheska.

"I'm in, too." said Gwen.

"And you, Christine?"

"If it's okay with her—" Christine looked at Lindtsey.
