Married at Nineteen

welcome to the family

Brenda’s Pov 
My Dad has been trying to convince me to see the in what they had already planned out to do and I was not going to change my mind no matter how many times he sits me down to talk to me about this issue. Yes, I know this isn’t one of those good times in my family but at least they should just calm down and think this through before making a decision that’s going to make Winifred suffer for the rest of her life, and I’m not mistaken the young Man my sister is to get married to might even be in a serious relationship with another woman. My parents are only concerned about saving the company and nothing else, because once they go through with all this and ends well then the other companies would be saved as well. My mum’s only concerned because of how her father reacts to matters like this, he wouldn’t even be so happy when he hears this news. “Has he heard about it yet?”I asked myself, I’d so many in my head that I didn’t even know what to do about this anymore. My mum and dad brought up different topics to talk about and the dinner was lively and not that bad.
My mum has a lot of pride and she’s the fierce one in the family unlike my dad that doesn’t like long talks and anything that would lead to a fight or an argument. Winifred takes a lot from our mum and my quiet and calm natures from our dad. It was already time dinner with the Adams family and it seems their eldest son hasn’t shown up yet, Winifred also wasn’t present at the moment so both families over looked it. 
A minute later, my mum kept stealing glances at me…she gave me a face that read, “Go somewhere private and call your sister to come home right now!.” 
I sighed and excused myself before walking out of the dining room but Aaren had already left before I did. Mum’s sure going to deal with Winfred after all this is over, that’s a fact and I don’t want to sit around and watch that happen. I was in the hallway that had so many doors facing each other, the interior and exterior designs of the mansion were really nice and it looked similar to a hotel. The only place on my hand to go and talk to Winifred was my room cause no one would even hear my voice, so I chose to follow another door in the house instead of following the stairs where everyone would see me and start wondering if I got tired of waiting and decided to leave early. “You had better pick up my calls Winnie because I don’t think I can save you from mum this time”I said to myself as I walked on.
I paused when I heard voices from the door that I just passed, stopped and turned around to be sure of what I just heard…then I placed my ear on the door to hear what they were saying.
“You aren’t a wife material, but a psychopath! And you make me sick”I heard a Masculine voice say and without having to think about who that was, I pushed the door open and there stood Winifred and Aaren. 
“What’s going on here? I asked with a confused look on my face. Winifred and Aaren has never met each other so why would they talk in private?.
Upon hearing my voice, they both stared at me with a surprised look on their face. I walked closer to Winifred and stared at her face properly- noticed that she looked so pissed unlike Aaren who looked so calm.
“Nothing to worried about Miss Brenda, peanut and I were just talking. Please don’t look at me with those scary eyes…I didn’t force myself on your sister, she’s not the kind of woman I would do that with anyway”He explained before walking away.
I waited for him to leave the room before speaking up, “Do you know him Winifred?”I asked, hoping to get a reply from her.
“yeah! I met him the door I came home crying, he is a big jerk so I would rather not talk about him at all”she answered and turned her face away.
“um okay then, you know what mum’s going say to you after all this is over so please just don’t get on her bad side and just do as she says for now, we’re going to figure something out so don’t worry”I said reassuringly. She faked a smile before she started walking away,
“I’ll go through with all this so tell mum not to worry, the person I want doesn’t want me and now I’ll have to get married to that guy who also despises me. Mum and Dad has done a lot for me and this is my little way of telling them thank you for everything. Plus I don’t want to be a laughing stock of my school so that’s all. See you in a bit”she explained.
My hopes disintegrated and I walked back to meet the others at the dining room, there’s no need for me doing anything anymore since she accepted to marry that young fine handsome man.
WRITER’S POV
Finally the whole family was complete, stiles the eldest son of the Adams family had already arrived and he sat down close to Brenda. Brenda stole glances at him and thought that he was the most handsome young man she had seen in the entire life. His whole attention was fixed on his phone screen so Brenda took that opportunity to stare at her without minding if the others caught her staring.
“a family of weirdos and yah! I can’t wait to get married to their peanut breast daughter”Aaren said on a sarcastic tone and his brother finally dropped his phone on the table before he resumed eating his meal. Stiles chewed like a lady and Brenda found It really amusing to watch. He noticed her staring and smiled lightly at her, she quickly looked away and picked up her fork.
“I’m really sorry for keeping you guys waiting, it wasn’t intentional and I promise to be punctual next time”Winifred apologized before she started eating her meal.
“She’s really a sweet heart and that has the voice of an angel…don’t you think so too Aaren?”Mrs petra asked.
“Wnifred, Aaren is the young man you’re going to get married to”Mrs Cleo announced and Winifred scoffed. It didn’t excite her at all but she kept calm and didn’t utter a word.
“I really don’t think so mum”Aaren answered and the look fake smile Winifred had been wearing on her all this time turned intsso a frown.
“Aaren, mind the way you talk…show the bride’s family some respect and keep those silly thoughts in their head. Nobody wants to hear them anymore”Mr Adam shunned and Aaren angrily dropped his fork ontop of his ceramic plate before he stood up straight.
“I’m tired and would like to go home now, and yes I accept whatever decision you guys make. I don’t even have a say in my own life anyway”Aaren announce, he stared at Winifred one last time before he walked out.
“Such a fine young man, don’t you think so too Honey”Mrs Cleo asked and gave her husband a warm smile.
“”um yeah! In deed he is”Mr Downs answered quickly, he had sweats all over his forehead even when the Air conditioner was turned on and that only showed how nervous he was.
“welcome the family Winifred, don’t worry about Aaren’s behavior…he is going to come around”Mrs Petra smiled at Winifred before walking out too.
The dinner didn’t go so well as planned but the Adams eldest son Stiles cracked some jokes and Winifred felt a spark of happiness inside of her and for that moment, she didn’t want it end. She stared at him and gave him a big smile. “I wouldn’t mind getting married to you instead of that jerk you call a brother”Winifred blurted out and Stiles laughed hard. He looked at Winifred and knew that she was the perfect pair for is brother, he saw it and believed Aaren would see that too. 
“Arranged marriages do work out and I’m sure this one will”Stiles thought to himself.
