His Rebound

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Sebastian was holding my hand and although I was nervous walking down for facing everyone after my engagement, yet I found myself staring at my ring in awe. It was beautiful and it's beauty mesmerized me. It was just like the one I wanted but couldn't found it.

"Are you ready?" I heard Sebastian mumbling and I looked up at him to see him smiling widely. I nodded as I realized we have reached downstairs.

"It's showtime." He said dramatically and a light giggle escaped my lips, which drew everyone's attention on us.

"We got ENGAGED!!!" Sebastian declared raising our hands, which were intertwined together and showed them my ring and as expected when their eyes landed on my ring they looked bawled.

"Oh my god!" Anna said loudly keeping her hands over her mouth. At that moment, I really can't figure out whether she was happy or upset over our engagement.

"I can't believe this is actually happening." She said and hugged me.

"Thanks Mum." Sebastian said.

"Aww Katie, I am so happy." She gushed and I relaxed a bit.

"Thanks." I smiled politely.

Sebastian's father who was already on his wife's side congratulated his son with a hug and then hugged me and congratulated me as well.

"Now officially, welcome to our family."

"Thank you." I smiled but somehow I found my smile natural. I wasn't forcing myself for this act. It felt real.

Sebastian then led me towards my Dad who was just standing there with Ken watching us.

"Congrats bro." Ken hugged him and Sebastian muttered a 'thanks'. Ken gave me a little hug too and I smiled feeling my brother's warmth for the first time in years.

"Congratulations." My Dad with a tight smile said extending his hand forward for a handshake, which Sebastian took in his.

"Thanks Mr Morris for letting me have your daughter. She is such an amazing girl." He said and I felt my cheeks warm.

"She is now yours." He said with a tight smile.

"My baby brother is getting married." Sarah squealed and hugged Sebastian tight in a bear hug. Now this was a one special hug because while hugging him she danced left and right taking Sebastian along. She then broke the hug and came running towards me and hugged me the same way, but the only difference was Sebastian didn't budge in her left and right dance while I almost collapsed on my side when she shook my body in that hug.

"T-Thanks." I said breaking the hug and maintaining my composure.

"Stop scaring her away Sarah." Anna said playfully.

"Katie get used to this craziness." Mr Walter said and I giggled. He was right. I thought only Sebastian was the one special case in this family but turned out the entire family was the same.

"That's why I didn't tell anyone about her. It's hardly been 10 minutes she said YES guys. If you all continue this she'll probably throw the ring on my face and run back to Seattle." Sebastian complained and everyone laughed.

"Come let's celebrate." Ken said and we walked over to the living room. He bought a bottle of champagne and handed it to Sebastian who swiftly opened it for us and poured it into the glasses.

"Hey...we can't let my little Kate be empty handed." Sebastian said and I frowned.

"I'll ask Elizabeth to get her some juice." Ken said and he asked Elizabeth to get me the juice. Once I had my glass too Mr Walter raised the glass up for the toast.
