Suddenly Beloved

Ch3: No habla Ingles

The Langres sisters was celebrating Dianne's moving up to 12th grade when suddenly someone knocked on their door, Dianne noticed how her sister was more dressed up than usual, at first she thought it was because they're going to this nice restaurant they have been saving up money for.

But turns out it was something more, as her sister keeps on looking between her phone and the door.

So when someone knocked on the door, Penelope immediately headed to the entrance, Dianne had an inkling to who it is, then lo and behold she was right, it was Eric, her sister's future husband, the one who begged her to see her sister one last time that she cold-heartedly pushed away.

Behind her shy sister is another shy man rubbing his neck sheepishly, when her sister first introduced her to Eric she was very rude and even insulted the poor dude for being a construction worker, well the truth was he was the son of the owner of the construction company, just that he likes to help around in that project since it was built for his older brother.

My sister and him met when my sister was delivering the flowers ordered from the shop she works at, and then yada yada their love bloomed, and I was one of the pesky bugs

Anyways, I feel like a strict father by the way they're so nervous, I'm pretty sure I look cute though so it's not my face... Maybe because I'm the only family sister have that's why being accepted by me is important?

"I- my name's Eric Castillo, your sister's boyfriend, I've heard a lot about you from Penny." He reached out his hand.

Dianne gracefully accepted it and sent a teasing smile to Penelope, "I hope it's about the good things." Penelope blushed, looking at Eric with proud eyes. Eric smiled as both have a firm handshake before letting go.

"I hope you don't mind me intruding in your celebration." Eric said embarrassedly, Penelope held his hand and he took the bag from her hands, as the three of them walk to Eric's car, Dianne was enjoying her sister's expression, she looked like a maiden in love, well she IS inlove, but it is a nice change of pace from her playful or strict face.

"A free ride is a free ride, but honestly I don't mind, I like seeing my sister blush like a schoolgirl." Dianne smirks.

"Ow- ow! Ow! Don't pinch me!" And because of that Dianne now has a mark on her face.

"Don't tease me brat, only I can do that." Penelope laughs, Eric behind her chuckling in his hand.

"This is child abuse! Child abuse I tell you!" She yells with tears in her eyes.

"Haha you only have a year left till you can't use that card anymore."

"I still have the orphan card though..."

"Dianne!"

"Hehe." With her tongue outside, Dianne knocked on her head and made a funny face, thankfully Penelope was already strapped to the passenger seat and Dianne was seated on the far opposite side of the backseat.

....

When they arrived at the fancy restaurant, Penelope went to settle their reservation and Eric and Dianne was left alone, although they started off in a good note, they merely knew each other half an hour ago.

Eric cleared his throat, "so... I heard from Penny you tutor Japanese? That's very impressive, did you just get a license?"

"I don't have one." Dianne said casually.

"Wow, then you must be a good teacher then if your rating is 9.5/10, Saisho no kuraianto ni dono yō ni shite anata o yatotte moratta nodeshou ka?" Eric asked curiously, not that he thought Penelope was lying about her little sister's achievements, the lovely woman was just very detailed that he thought that maybe, maybe she was exaggerating a bit, he had a good friend who's half Japanese and he just picked up the language and can speak it fluent enough to live on japan.
