Mother has been constantly trying to set me up with every man she knew . It's a sweet gesture , I know she's worried about me ending up alone and she doesn't want to wait until Julika gets old for her to have a grandchild . She currently set me up with her friend's son , Jerehmy . He's a high school teacher , he really isn't that bad but he has his own people just like I have my own . He has always had a crush on me , his body is bigger than Spencer's but he's the best in everything. I gotta stop comparing every guy with him .

I have never imagined my first kiss to be like that . For the love of God , I hope it doesn't get better that this ; better than him .

Having enough of day dreaming about Spencer , I head outside to join the rest of my family and friends. Although it was quite sad to see everyone with someone and while I was here , single and lonely .

'The right one will eventually come' I told myself . Nothing interesting was happening . It was like your normal gathering , where parents brag about their children's achievements and accomplishments, the nasty remarks when someone's child is better than yours or the criticism you receive for doing the opposite of what they wanted you to do .

Aunt Melissa thought or still does think I am gay because she never seen me show any interest in a man . If only she knew , there is a man that just drives me crazy and infuriates me at the same time . I shook my head , trying to get rid of him .

Being in a family where everyone is competing and secretly wishing you fail at something is hard . It's all just pretenses and fake smiles . It would've been great if me and my cousins got along but to them you don't hang out with your enemy , I was the enemy .

"Do you wanna dance?" a male voice came from behind me . I turned around and saw it was Jerehmy who asked me to dance . He was wearing khaki shorts and flops with a floral shirt . He looked neat with his freshly cut blonde hair , the lighting tonight made his ocean eyes pop out . He looked good but his look didn't do anything to me , it would be rude to say no so I just nodded and gave him a small smile . Excitement glowing in his eyes and a big smile plastered on his face .

He stepped closer and held my waist . He slowly began to move and led the dance . Shame he was such a nice guy but I don't have feelings for him and I didn't see him that way .

"How's being a surgeon treating you , saving a lot of lives ?" He asked trying to make a conversation .

I gave him a small smile , seeing how nervous he was . "It's been good so far , nothing I couldn't handle but it sure does have challenges . How are high schoolars treating you ?" . He let out a low chuckles before sighing . "These children are something else but you know when you're doing something to love , it's not considered a job " . I nodded , agreeing .

" I know you don't see me that way and I understand but I'd really like to be your friend " he confessed , shocking me .

"I could use a friend here anyway " I said with a smile .

He was right , I only saw him as a friend . I think he would have been a perfect guy for Zavia , considering that all her past relationships have been a total disasters and that she dated guys that wasted her time .

She deserved a guy who will care for her every needs , someone who would do anything to see her happy and lastly someone who would love her and make all her dreams of being a wife and mother come true.
