Chapter 2: old memories

                               
Elijah POV

I watched her walk out of the room not saying a word. She is just so.....there are no words
"Renessa come back here!!" Her mother screamed    her dad tried to apologize but I waved it away
"Mr Levine I don't believe my sister is the right one for you. As you can see she's very rude-
"Shut up Ravery before I tell Renesse what you just said" I looked towards the person who spoke it was the third oldest sister now. I heard she didn't speak much. The other shut up immediately
"I'll go talk to her-
"Wait... I would like  to talk to you about something."
"About what?"
"My parents...they made a promise with you and your wife when you were children"
Her father looked surprised
"But that was such a long time ago Mr Levine
Even if I did agree my daughter wouldn't she doesn't like people making decisions for her"
"Of course we won't get married yet she's only 19 I'll wait as long as it takes as long as I can marry her" he nodded in thought
We heard someone knock before my brother walked in
"Sorry the phone call took so long." He looked at me and nodded
"I would like to speak to your daughter"
"But-
"Sir...I really don't think my youngest should-
Her mothers said this time. Do they not like her. Or is it cause she's the youngest of the family?
"Of course. Elizabeth will lead you to her room" I nodded and stood up

"Nessa please open the door"
"........" she knocked again
"Nessa are you okay I'm worried"
With that the door flew open she noticed me and scowled before she could slam it I put my foot at the door.
"Please leave us" I asked the maid she bowed and left quickly.
I walked in the room and she stood there frowning
"I would-
"How dare you? Seriously who do you think you are huh? You don't just barge into my home and ask my father if you can marry me
You ask ME permission and if you really liked me you could've courted me like a normal damn person. I am not a damn shoe you can't just say 'oeh I like this, I will get it' because I am not a damn shoe!" She was breathing heavily but not from speaking...from anger
"I'm sorry i did not mean to make you mad, I will court you properly as you wish. And I most definitely don't see you as a shoe....You're more than that" she stood just staring at me she does that a lot...
"Your staring"
"How could I not" oh?
"What do you mean?" I asked I'm curious as to what she will say now
"Well you're absolutely beautiful" this girl...
"What? Do you think you're too masculine to be called beautiful?" It's not like that
"No...not at all"

"Again I am sorry for offending you it wasn't my intention. Let me take you out please?"
She looked as if she's considering it
"Sure...But what's your name?" I smiled at her
"It's Elijah Levine" she hummed and tilted her head to one side
"It fits you" she is really something huh
"Yours is Renessa Revey Goodwin"
"You know my middle name?" Of course you told me remember?
"Well...yes I came here to well....I had to do some research" she hummed again
"When will we be going out?"
"How about Thursday?"
"Okay" she looked down not knowing what to say for the first time in her life don't ask how I know

"I will walk you out" she spoke all of a sudden while walking towards the door
"You want me out this badly?"
"Yes and no" can't she lie? A little?
I chuckled and followed her out
We walked back into the living room and her family in a heated discussion
"SHE IS NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR HIM" and who are they to decide that?
"Why are you screaming mother?" The aggression in her voice told me everything I needed to know.
We don't like the mom.
"Your unbelievably rude, you might have offended Mr Levine-
"Oh I didn't" she crossed her arms while taking the last step of the stairs
"What?" She looked confused and my brother just sat there looking at them with a disgusted look on his face.
I rolled my eyes can get not try to at least pretend like he isn't judging everyone
