Nicklaus
I definitely didn't expect things to get weird and heated, I was just teasing her, playing a prank on her, and not trying to kiss her. Well, it was a good thing Tina interrupted me, well us, else we would've done something we'll probably regret afterward.
I knew Tina had the right to be suspicious but our relationship wasn't based on trust, we don't account for each other so I couldn't get why she became all possessive and interrogative.
Our relationship was formed out of lust not love and I made it clear from the beginning that I wasn't a faithful guy, more of the ladies man so she had every right to cheat on me which I know she's been doing lately. So, that didn't give her the right to be furious over the fact that I was with another lady.
Well, I'll just play along with her for the night.
But I couldn't understand why I felt bad when I saw the disappointment on Maya's face. After her breakup with Andrew, I wanted to make her feel special, accepted and loved but I ended up screwing everything up. I ended up making her feel irrelevant and unwanted instead, good work Nik.
Just when I turned to leave, I saw Maya trip almost kissing the ground when someone's hand clasped her waist from behind. I sighed in relief, almost thanking whoever might have saved the clumsy girl from the fall with a smile on my face when it all disappeared into a scowl.
Eden? What was he doing here?
Before I could question my dear cousin, Tina had already dragged me away. Nothing made sense, the old man said it was just a small family dinner but he extended his invitation to my esteemed cousin and possibly many others. Well, it now makes sense, I fell into his trap.
Again.
"Nik, Darling" My sister Emily sang, greeting me in the large living room warmly with a smile.
"You came" She added, placing a peck on both sides of my cheek. Emily took after my mom, petite and beautiful with her brunette hair cascading down her shoulders in waves, dark blue eyes and full lips.
Emily might look small but she's quite stubborn which kinda run in the family, strong-willed, social and energetic. I don't even remember for once seeing Emily depressed or sad, she's always happy bubbling with life with no care in the world, probably why the old man loved her more than his own life.
My father is a complete definition of the dark and gloomy sky, he's never happy and hardly smiles but that changes whenever Emily is around.
She's the sun that lights up his sky. Thanks to the obvious favouritism, Emily's requests are granted with immediate effect.
"And this must be Tina" She squealed like a five-year-old who just received candy from mommy while Tina stared at her awkwardly.
"Um, yeah?" Tina answered.
"Welcome to the family" She said and tried hugging Tina but the person in question stepped back and instead propelled her head forward for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you" Tina said, her tone formal and businesslike while all smiles and excitement disappeared from Emily's face.
Great, Tina's done what she's good at.
"Excuse us, Emily?" I said trying to stop Tina from ruining the mood further. "We have to meet the old man" I announced but Emily gave me a hard stare.
"You mean our father?"
"Yep?"
"Seriously, Nik?" She questioned with her arms folded across her chest. Knowing what that stance means, I fled.
