"I'm home!" Angelina called out as she walked through the door of her 3-story house.
"Wonderful, dear! Come, come, have some dinner!" Her mom called from the kitchen.
"Alright, mom, just let me change quickly." Angelina replied, rushing into her room.
Squirming out of her skinny jeans, Angelina threw on some sweats and a t-shirt, happy that she could now relax. She ran down the stairs and sat at the dinner table, ready to eat. When her mom brought her food she dug in instantly, earning a chuckle from her dad.
"Hard day at work, Angelina?"
"Yef. Sho many cushtomers!"
"Angelina! Don't speak with your mouth full!" Her mother reprimanded.
"Sorry, mom." Angelina replied looking down and finishing her food.
~~~
"Angelina! Come to the living room this instant!"
Angelina was five steps up the stairs when her mom called her back down.
She walked into the living room, wondering what in the world she could've done.
"Sit down, dear! Sit!"
Angelina took a seat facing her parents, startled by her mother's behavior. Her father seemed nervous, as though he didn't want to be doing what was about to happen.
Angelina's mother spoke first. "Angelina, dear! Do you have a boyfriend yet?"
Angelina held back a groan. Not again. Forcing a smile, she replied. "No, mom, I haven't found anyone yet."
"Honey! You're 22! You can't keep staying here all the time! You need someone to rely on!"
"Yes, mom. I understand, mom." Angelina looked to her dad, searching for help, only to find that he was completely focused on something else entirely.
Her mother continued, "Honey, I don't care if you haven't found the right guy, sooner or later I'm going to have to introduce you to some nice, young men. In fact, the girls in my book club have some single children that would be perfect for you! How about I introduce them to you?"
"No, mom. Seriously. It's completely okay."
"Oh, alright.."
Angelina smiled, "Well, if you need me, I'll be in my room."
She dashed straight for her room and fell back on her bed. She let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. That was weird. Her parents, or her mom, haven't had that conversation with her for a while. Why now? Angelina glanced at the clock on the wall. 8:28. She sighed and got up to take a shower.

Angelina sighed, locking the door to her bakery. Today had been a busy day. She and Joanne rushed around, not even being able to take a single break. Angelina jumped on the bus that took her home.
"I'm home!" Angelina called into the seemingly empty house, except for the fact that there seemed to be a large amount of noise coming from the living room...
Suddenly, Angelina's mother's shrill laugh rang through the house. She stood her ground and listened.
"Oh! It seems that Angelina's just arrived! Just in time, too!" Just in time for what? "Let me go grab her."
Angelina's mother appeared and dragged her by the arm into the living room. "Come on, dear. I want to introduce you to a few people."
Sure enough, as Angelina entered the living room, she looked up to find that standing before her were 12 beautiful boys.
~~~
Hi guys! What do you think?
... There's nobody to talk to.. Sigh.
Okay, well I'm gonna find a cast for these twelve boys, if you're reading this tell me if you have anything in mind.
Toodaloo!
