"Olivia honey, what are you wearing?"asked mom holding Olivia's arm before she could run away.
"Am a beautiful princess mummy"
"Yes dear you are very beautiful, now why don't you go wear that nice dress mummy bought you"
"But I hate that dress mummy"
"But it's so pretty dear"
"Yes, but it's really itchy" she whined stamping her tiny foot on the floor.
"Well I'm sorry dear but you'll just have to leave with the pain, OK"
"NO"said Olivia as she freed her arm from mum's grasp and made a run for it, she bolted out of her room and bumped into me, I quickly scooped her up before she could run off again. "Let go of me Tom" she said kicking and screaming. "If you keep on screaming I won't give you any sweet's",I told her sternly, still holding on to her.
She quickly stopped her screaming, after making sure she would behave I set her down again. "Now where's my candy Tommy !?" she said sticking her thumb inside her mouth.
"Wait there's something else I want you to do"
"What is it?" she questioned looking all around me, probably wondering where her candy was.
"Why aren't you wearing the dress mom bought you?"
"It inches Tommy, really badly"
"Itches Olivia and why don't you ask Mummy if you can wear some thing else"
She looked at mum, after awhile mother sighed heavily and then rolled her eye's and agreed to it.
"Hooray" cheered Olivia looking at me as I gave her a peppermint candy.
"OK then dear come on" said mom extending her arm for Olivia to hold which she did.
"oh and Tom" said mum as she let go of Olivia's arm and went over to me. She straightened the bow tie around my neck, "You have to look good for Becky Hills" she said smiling.
"Mom you know I don't like Becky"
"Oh Tom don't talk such nonsense Becky is a very good girl, I'm sure once you two are married you'll learn to like her". The only reason my family (except Olivia) keeps on bugging me about marrying Becky Hills is because her father is the fifth richest man in the country, but i just don't like her, she's incredibly beautiful and all with long blonde hair and gray eyes, it's just that she's a serious flirt always twirling her hair around finger, and the way she laughs at every thing I say, or how close she likes to sit next to me, but what makes me really not like her, is how many time's she's tried to kiss me. "Listen mom I wont marry Becky and that's final"
"Oh Tom. You'll love her soon, I mean she likes you, I can tell"
"Oh yes mom, I can also tell, so can everybody else!"
"Mummy shouldn't I change already" spoke Olivia breaking the conversation between Mom and I.
"OK dear. Just think about it Tom your old enough to get married"
"Yes but she's not"
Mom didn't care to reply she just entered Olivia's room. I was right Becky was still very young to get married she was just sixteen yet everyone wanted us to marry. Oh and I forgot one more thing i didn't like about her she has this bogus idea that we're going to get married soon, so every time we meet she keeps talking about how she wants the wedding to be outside and that it should be huge with lots of people
I could hear the party noises from where I sat in my room, suddenly someone started knocking on the door to my room. "Tom, are you in here?"a high pitched voice spoke, I internally groaned ,it was Becky . I stood up and opened the door.
