Their faces were full of shock, it was kind of funny.
"Wha- What?" My father stuttered
"Oh? Did she not tell you? I asked her to marry me, and she said yes"
Felix came over to me and grabbed my hand.
"It is a pleasure to formally meet my in-laws." he spoke
Everyone was silent for a second until mother spoke.
"Ellie, why didn't you tell us. I'm so happy for you."
I knew she was lying but it's not like I cared. I tried to stand up, but my legs were asleep fortunately just before I fell Felix pulled me up, he'd had put his hand on my waist for support
"Be careful." he said in a soft tone
I'll say this again, he is too handsome for both my health and every other girl.
"Ok" I spoke
"Ellie needs to get her rest, can you come another time?" Felix asked
My parents looked at me, I knew what they wanted but I didn't care.
"Excuse me? In-Laws?"
"Of course! Ellie needs her rest. I will leave her in your hands Felix." My mother spoke
She didn't mean it, but she couldn't go against Felix. Mother was looking at me, so I pretended to tumble, and Felix caught me still holding my waist. I smirked. Then they left, I wasn't surprised my father barely said anything and that Jayden said nothing because he just listened to Jennifer.
"Felix you can let go of me now." I spoke
"Oh really? Are you sure you won't plummet to the ground if I let you go."
He had a big grin on his face. I pushed him away and ended up slipping on my gown. I started to fall backwards but Felix had caught me by the waist again.
[Why does he always grab just my waist?]
"Ellie are you okay? I don't think I should let you go, or you might get injured."
I was so embarrassed, so I grabbed Felix's shoulder and stood up. Looking him in the eye wasn't an option. While covering my face, I flopped under my blanket and said nothing. Felix started patting my back and spoke.
"Are you ready to go home?" he asked
"Felix, the doctors don't even know I am awake."
"Right, I'll go get someone."
Then he walked off. He got a doctor, and I was discharged. On our way out my uncle confronted us.
"Ellie are you okay? Sorry, I was away on a business trip and.... Mr. Grand? What are you doing here?" Uncle Vince asked
"My fiancé had an accident. I came to pick her up and take her home." Felix stated
"Ok? Ellie, I am here, come on, I will take you home."
I took a step forward, but Felix grabbed my hand.
"Sorry Doctor but as I stated I am taking my fiancé home so you can go back."
Uncle Vince looked confused until he realized what Felix had meant.
"You- El- wait, What!"
"Uncle please calm down."
"Ellie is this true?" he asked
"Yes, he asked me to marry him, and I said yes."
[Well, that's sort of how it went.]
"Ellie, why didn't you tell me? Do your parents know about this?"
"Yeah, they just found out."
"What?" he yelled
