UH~OH!

30? I'M 28

"Fuck off."

Yup. I have spit fire out of my mouth.
Caddy my cousin oh so favorite cousin sits and stares at me with her eyes wide open like I had just said something only satan would.
*******************************

Oh, would you look at that she spends half her time insulting me? After getting engaged to my ex she dares to talk to me about 'boyfriends'
Yes, she's the reason we broke up. Max-fucking-well and me.
That was way back like 6 months or was it 7?

Max-fucking-well and I started dating when I was 26. We dated for 2 yrs. Two whole fucking yrs and he broke things off saying he fell for another girl. I should have known when I showed Caddy my fav. Cous. his picture.
My favourite cousin, I'm being sarcastic here. Bitch cousin Caddy was one hell of a pain in the arse my whole life.
And after she and Max got together oh the smug she had on her face was something else. She would call up late asking me about what position Max-fucking-well preferred and there uh-oh!
How would I fucking know Max and I never had sex?
Yes, praise me Imma virgin and I like it that way.

Caddy had those big tits with the big booty her looks came from Uncle Justin. Justin Lee. Mum's second brother.
Uncle Justin's looks were so ethereal but somehow Caddy did not wholesome get that gene.

Mum had 2 siblings. Two brothers. She was the middle child. First Uncle Eric Lee, was a photographer. He married Aunt Mei when they were 33. They have a grown-up kid and she's my best friend Mia. Mia Lee 30 yrs old. Modeler. Married to a Dentist.
Then my mum Lee Min. Min meaning clever she was a violinist. Mum married dad when she was 33. Dad was an attorney 35 yrs old was best friends with Uncle Eric. They met through him.
Lastly, Uncle Justin Lee. He married Aunt Amy a pâtissier when he was 32.
And so the kids, Mia married a dentist.
Caddy engaged to an architecture.
My brother has a basketball player girlfriend. That leaves me single.

I came back home for Thanksgiving.
You know Chinese Aunts make loads of shit talk about marriage when you turn 30 gosh I'm only 28.

"Oh, you're still single?"
"Scarlett you are 30 yrs old and still single sad but my daughter recently got married. You need to find someone soon or you'll end up all alone for the rest of your life."

I SAID I'M 28!

I'm practically shouting, screaming my lungs out but they still don't get it. I wonder what's so good about being married and having kids.

I Scarlett Lee. Oh, now Scarlett Hart. Dad's surname. I love my dad. 28 yrs old have a life ahead of me and I'm not going to ruin it by marrying. I'm 28 still young.

My bratty yet supportive brother. Oliver Lee. Oh, Oliver Hart. 26 yrs old. Two yrs apart. A music genius. 5.11. He got dad's height, mum's lips, and pa's eyes.
He has a fucking-cool- basketball-player girlfriend, Camellia Whitlock. She's so gorgeous.

Mum insisted we settle down in Singapore instead of China(Beijing) or America(NY).
I and Oliver went to France to study. He got his Music degree and I got my Biology degree.
A biologist.

Anyway back to the present this year's Thanksgiving is gonna suck I guarantee you. Something is gonna shock everyone.

(At the table)
"So Scarlett how's your job going on?" Uncle Eric asks.
"Oh, it's going well."

Uncle Eric was very lovable. I loved him wholeheartedly. He and dad supported my choice of career while Uncle Justin did not seem to like my occupation that much. He was more of a doctor type. So he insisted Caddy in becoming a surgeon. But both of them were biology. I'm a biologist while Caddy is a surgeon.

Aunt Ling, Aunt mei's sister spoke "Scarlett what about your love life?"

And uh-oh there it is her only method to pull me down because her daughter was no good.

Shit, I hated Thanksgiving because of this.
Chinese Aunt believed that if you don't marry before 30 you'll end up all alone.

Every year it was like this.
Mum would try changing the topic and Aunt Amy would ask the same question again. It's like Uncle Justin's family hated me and our family.
Damn their family.
They would usually end up quarreling with Uncle Eric.
Dad would pat my back and Oliver would stand up, bang the table and grab me and Camellia's hands and take us upstairs.

But I can't let that situation happen again.

"I have a lover."
I shout amidst the quarrel.

They all look shocked well who wouldn't even I was shocked by what I had said but pretend to be calm and cool.

"I'll bring him on Nainai's 100th birthday." I huff out.
Shit now I've done it. Uh-oh.

I just got up and went upstairs.
After a min, no seconds Caddy came up running.

"You don't have a boyfriend do you?" She smirks.

Wow, she came to ruin me again.

"You don't do you?."

She keeps fucking pissing me off.

"Fuck off."

I snap. I was pissed off so badly.

*******************************

Okay now, this is trouble there's only half a month left before Nainai's birthday.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I curse under my breath.

But a good thing happened our project got a new sponsor.

Good news and bad news. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Argh, my life is a fucking mess. Would an angel fall from heaven and please bless me?

And it was as if heaven heard my cry and blessed me. Unbelievable shit happens and it did and you have no way to escape a inevitable situation.

"Once you're in you can't escape anymore. "

Okay, this shit is happening.
Can I pull it off?
Me. Scarlett Hart.

DAMN!
