" Mom, what are you doing? " I asked her when I walked into the kitchen
" Nothing, sweetie. Do you need anything? "
" Nope. Just here to get a drink. Did you make my lemon water? "
" Yeah, it's in your favourite thermal flask " Mum said as she pointed at my bottle sitting near the sink
" Thanks Mom! " I shouted as I skipped all the way back to my room to do my work.
Exams are coming soon, better start studying if I want to go anywhere.
I set up all my books and scattered all the papers all over the floor.
I blasted my music and got straight to work. I turned my head to my right and saw that I had a whole pile of worksheets that has the label 'Homework'
I groaned and smacked my head on the table. After what felt like hours but it was actually 2 minutes, I stood up and stretched before walking down to the kitchen again
I heard mumbling and I froze at my spot which was behind the wall when I heard my name being mentioned
" We need to tell her soon, David! " Mum said
" No! Rebacca, it's safer to tell her later. She needs to study for her examinations now! " Dad said back to Mum.
I guess they were supposed to be whispering...
" She needs to know as soon as possible so that she can be mentally prepared! " Mum said back again
" She doesn't need to know so soon. Her marriage isn't so soon " Dad said. As soon as I heard that, my mouth opened as wide as a hippopotamus yawning
I stepped back and my ankle knocked into the coffee table and the mug that was mysteriously sitting on the edge of the table dropped. The coffee inside the mug spilled onto my feet making me scream out in pain
" Honey! Are you okay?" Mum shouted in panic as she ran out of the kitchen
" I'm fine, mum " I replied whilst looking at my foot. I hopped my way to the common bathroom that is in the kitchen and washed my feet with cold water
After 1 minute, I walked out to see both my parents standing in front of the door and I jumped back in fright
" We need to talk to you " Mum said seriously
" Oh no.. Is it the sex ed talk? " I groaned but I knew what they wanted to talk about
" That can wait in line. What we have to tell you is really important. " Dad said as he walked towards the table and motioned for mum and myself to join him at the table
" Rosalie.. You're getting married. " Dad said after 30 seconds of awkward silence
" Oh.. " Was the only response I could get out of my mouth as I take in the news for the second time today
" Oh..? " Mum repeated
" Don't you want to know who you're getting married to? " Dad asked while raising an eyebrow
" Who am I getting married to? " I copied his sentence
" Glad you asked! " Dad said enthusiastically and stood up with his hands behind his back
" His name is Dylan Ryder. "
I nodded my head for a milisecond then I froze
" Dylan Ryder? As in the Dylan Ryder that is a billionaire and the founder of the biggest Ryder Company that makes jeweleries? " I stared at him with my mouth wide open
" Yes. Yes and yes. We think that by you marrying him, we can merge our companies together. Since we are a fashion company and he is a jewelry company. I think that it is very worth " Dad said which confirmed my suspicion
" I'm going to faint. " I muttered. They should know how much I look up to Dylan. They should know how much I absolutely like him since I knew he existed.
" Honey.. We're so sorry.. " I stared at my mum and my eyes showed disbelief and I slowly shake my head at both of them while taking a step back
" No. " I said out loud
" No? " They asked in confusion
" Yeah. No. I'm not going to marry him no matter what " I said back to them
" Ask someone else. Maybe Jeremy or Melodiah " I stated to them
" Jeremy is a boy and Melodiah is married. That leaves us no choice but to push you to get married to Dylan. "
" Ask Jeremy to wear a wig or something. Heck, he can wear my dresses, skirts and blouses " I angrily said to them while throwing my hands up in the air for emphasis
" Rose, please. Our company would be really big. You can go to your dream university with Dylan pulling the strings. Come on, Rose. Do it for us. Please? " Mum begged me with visible tears in her eyes
" Which university is even linked to Dylan's company? "
" McGibberish School of the Arts University " Mum answered, knowing that I am really interested in that school.
" Oh! How long do I need to be married to him? How long will it take for the company to merge? " I asked with interest flowing though my voice
" 2 years. 2 years is all we need " Dad replied
" Is it a deal? " Dad confirmed with me.
" Yeah sure. By that age, I would really be eligible to go into the university. " I said with a shrug
" Great! I'm just going to call them up and tell them about the great news "
" When is the wedding? "
" Right after your examinations " Dad nodded his head
" That means... After next week? "
" Yup! "
My eyes widdened and I saw my dad walking out of the kitchen while talking on the phone.
