Novel bit her first to keep from laughing. Her dad's shirt weren't for him at all. Even the stretchest ones. The sweat pants were OK but that's about it.

"This is not comfortable."

"I think mom can make some shirt for you. Come on time to join everyone."

He grumble but follow her.

"At least the pants fit,"her dad said when they enter the kitchen. "Have a seat. Lunch is almost ready."

"How long was I gone?"

"One month."

"That mean time move faster here."

"So where were you?"Aria asked with a smirk on her face.

"A place called Encastria. I don't know how big it is."

"Very big,"Eros said. "There's a city."

"You never tell me that."

"You're too curious for your own good."

"I'm not."

"If I had let you stray too far then someone would have seen you and then report to the king and then he would have tried to take you from me."

"King? Eros I'm so mad at you right now."

"I don't regret not telling you. I'll do it again if I had the chance."

She huff and crossed her arms.

"You two are like a married couple,"her mom said, amused.

"He didn't tell me!"

"I'm glad he didn't."

"Dad!"

"Listen Sweetheart. I love you but you're really too curious for your own good."

Novel huff and roll her eyes.

"Dad!"

Eros wince at the scream. He look at Novel with raise eyebrows.

"My sister,"Novel muttered.

Heather enter the kitchen and stop when she saw Novel and then her eyes settle on Eros.

"Well hello there. I'm Heather."

"Don't even think about it Heather,"Novel said as she saw the flirty look on her sister's face.

"I wasn't talking to you? I'm Heather."

"Novel's husband to be."

"What?" Heather look at her parents and they shrug. "Well dump her and we can have some fun."

"You're disgusting "Eros deadpanned. Heather jaw hit the floor and everyone try not to laugh. "Is she always this awful?"

"Yep,"Novel and her friends said.

Heather face turn red from embarrassment.

"You want something Heather?"Mr. Grey asked.

"My credit card isn't working."

"Yeah I freeze it. Time to get a job."

"Dad!"

"That's enough Heather! You will go out and you will get a job. I'm done with your nonsense."

"What about her?!"

"Me?" Novel point to herself. "I'll be working with dad at the company."

"This is unfair!"

"Life isn't fair Heather,"Jen said. "It's time to grow up and stop acting like a child and throw tantrums."

Heather storm out of the kitchen angrily.

"I keep asking where we went wrong,"Mrs. Grey said as she shake her head.

"Eros you're welcome to this family. We owe you alot for taking care of our little girl. If its OK with you I would like you to work with me. I can show you how this world works so you'll fit in easily."

"I would love that Mr. Grey."

"Call us Nathan and Gina."

Eros nod.

"Dad I think it's time I get a place of my own too."

"If that's your wish Sweetheart. You've grown so much in such a short time."

Novel nod with a smile.

She's glad her parents understand.
