The World Across

Chapter 3.1

"Could someone grab the door please?" Jessie shouted while anxiously pacing in the living room.

Nate, who was already waiting for almost an hour at the living room for his entire family to be ready lazily stood up and went to open the door.

"Oh. It's you dude." He said as soon as he saw Lyndon at their doorstep. "Please, do come in."

"Thank you." Lyndon said and went in the cozy house.

"The living room is here, man. Make yourself comfortable." Nate lead Lyndon's way to the living room to wait again.

"Trust me, there is no more boring thing in this world than to wait girls finish their rituals." Nate said as he came back to sitting at the couch.

"It'll worth it though." Lyndon said and helped himself for a seat. "They'll take you're breath away like a soft wind with the sweetest scent that ever mixed the earth." He described.

Nate only starred at him and was about to laugh. "Dude, are you for real?" He can not control himself anymore and let out his hideous laugh.

"What?"

"You were like Shakespeare in person, actually reciting one of your sonnets." And Nate laughed again forgetting his manners.

"Oh . . . " Is all Lyndon could say when he realized how he let out his creepy noble thing again.

Dave suddenly cut in the picture. "What's with all the laughing here?"

Lyndon suddenly stood up. "Sir, goodevening."

"Lyndon, right?" And Lyndon nodded. "Look at you. All so polite. Now son," And he looked at Nate. "why don't you stand up and give respect too. Our ladies will be coming down soon."

"Finally." Nate said and stood up.

After few more minutes, they heard heels strolling down their staircase. The boys walked with to the edge of the stairs.

Jessie came down first. Dressing a plain purple long gown, paired with her white gloves, and her wedding ring on top of it. Dave, as her husband proudly courted her down the stairs.

Second was Katherine with her hair tied all up in a red cocktail dress surrounded with threads of silver strings paired also with her white, cashmiere gloves. Her brother, Nate, with a broad smile politely assisted her down the stairs.

Sa5m then came in last. She was wearing her hair all curly, all black and shinny. She is also wearing this ravishing sapphire half-ball gown dress with beads of diamonds served as her belt.She worn her black cashmiere gloves along with her ring with a sapphire stone whom she owned since she was a baby - or so she thought.

Lyndon was stunned for a moment by her unbelievable beauty. He offer his hand to support Sa5m in going down the stairs. "You're astonishing." He said.

"Well thank you." Sa5m replied.
