Jane's pov

   
     I really don't like talking about myself but have been advised by my therapist and family to talk more about myself so that's exactly what am doing right now...

    You know what since am doing this let me tell you about my family.I have a lovely family though I wouldn't say that to there face since am the cold hearted bitch so that will be a great damage to my reputation...but honest to God I love them with my whole being and I will lay down my life for any of if required but am pretty sure it will never come to that since  sisters are all married and have got partners who would take up that responsibility (I think??)...and my parent will do the same for each other (corny?Ikr?).
   

     Anyways that's beside the point,my parent are happily married for thirty-five years now,blessed with three daughters,my elder and younger sis are both married so I'm kinda like the odd one who wouldn't settle down.

      I'm really happy for them but I just wish they would really leave me alone and let me be on my own but no they all think I need to be all lovey dovey like they are.

     They think I don't notice how they all try to subtly ask if  am involved in any relationship during family dinner and how Jacky's husband seems to think it's ok to set me up on blind date with his snobby rich friends,he is an ok guy but he is really starting to piss me off recently...can you imagine your elder sister husband telling you to start jogging so you can lose some body fat?He is really lucky I consider him family or else,I would have thought him a lesson.
     

      Sighs
     I'm here again at another family dinner.I just wish I could be somewhere else right now and I know  they know too.
  
Josephine please pass the plate,I wonder how she manages to smile that much,since she's yet again smiling again while handing me the plate,I muttered a thank you and continue eating.
   

    I was done eating and was about standing up when mum stopped me.
Jane we need to talk,she said.

   I really don't like the way they are all staring at me,I had a feeling we would be discussing something I didn't like.

    How old are you Jane?Dad asked after staring at me for way too long than necessary..

    I'm 25 dad,I answered fisting my hands underneath the dinning table.I knew I wasn't going to like whatever we were about to discuss but to start with my age that's just not cool.
   

     25,he repeated while looking at me directly in the eyes and me being me didn't blink cause you need to do lot more to make me feel uncomfortable.

   We've been thinking,no actually we've concluded that it's time we get ourselves involved in your relationship problems,my dad not known for being subtle said at last breaking the staring contest.

      It took me a while to process what he said cause they have always been involved, they're always trying to set me up on different blind date so I really wasn't getting the point he was trying to make.

      Mum probably saw that I didn't get what he was trying to say then took it upon herself to break it down for me by telling the most absurd thing have ever heard,Jane you are getting married.

Hope you like it.Please comment.
