Mary decided  to  call Laura  to talk   about  Eugenia's  strange attitudes and behaviour which had become a thing of great concern.

"Hello mom"Laura said happily into the phdear

"Hello dear, how are you? "Mary asked .

"I'm  fine mom, good morning"she greeted .

"Good morning  dear, are you busy?" Mary asked.

"No,  not really, I'm just getting ready for school . "Laura  said.

"Laura your sister  has become something  else"Mary told Laura .

"How?"Laura asked pretending  not to  know anything .

"Your dad asked her to marry  Larry for some reasons  an... "Laura interrupted  before  she completed  her statement .

"Because  of a  stupid business deal or something of that sort.  Mom  I am fully aware of what is going on and I strongly feel my sister should be left alone . She has every right to get married to the person she wants to marry.  old enough  to make  decisions  for herself. Believe me , if it were me I would have been long gone by now, but Eugenia  is still around"she said and continued.

"I heard  she's  grounded, but what exactly is that going to change ? "She asked.

"But Laura, please help me talk to your sister, you know how crazy your dad can be sometimes"Mary said.

"Dad, what will he do?"Laura  asked and continued

"See mum, I have to prepare  for school, you people  should  leave  Eugenia alone"She said and hung up.

Eugenia  went downstairs  looking very  happy to have her breakfast, she had her day already  planned out , she was going to have breakfast, watch movies and sleep.

"Good morning  mom, Good morning  dad"she greeted and  pecked them .

Johnson  was confused.

"You look  happy  today "Mary said

"Yes mom, I am very happy"she replied as she sat down  to eat .

"Why? "her father asked.

"Nothing "she said  smiling .

"OK, we would  be going  to Jude's  house for dinner  this  night "Johnson  said .

"What? "Eugenia  asked.

"Because  we were invited, and you need to meet your fiance"her father told her.

"My fiance?"Eugenia asked?

"Yes , your fiance Larry "her father replied.

"Ok" she said.

Eugenia  wore a beautiful  red gown and packed her hair neatly, with a nice pair if heels to match her outfit. She looked stunning  .

As  Eugenia and  her family  entered  Benson's  home, they embraced  each other with lots of smiles and laughter.

Larry wore a black suit  and a nice black shoe, he looking  very  sharp and handsome .

As soon as he caught sight of    Eugenia, he was awestruck," damn what a beauty " he thought, very nice curves and a face  you could stare at all day . He couldn't  believe this   was the same girl he saw sixteen  years ago with  a flat chest.

"Hi"Larry greeted  Eugenia with a smile .

"You are  Eugenia"Larry asked

"Yes, and you are  Larry "Eugenia asked.

"Yes  I am"he replied smiling confidently.

Their parents  were looking  at them with smiles on their faces  thinking  they had  already started  falling firy eachother,forgetting they were still  standing .

"Please  sit"Jude offered .

They sat to eat, and they cracked some jokes over dinner.After  the meal, both parents  decided  to give  Larry and Eugenia  some space to talk.

"So why can't Larry and Eugenia talk to each other they have a lot of catching up to do ,it's been sixteen long  years  think? "Jude suggested.

"Sure dad,we would talk in the garden"Larry said .

Larry stood up, stretched  his hand to help  Eugenia up from  her  chair  and guided her to the garden.

"So how are you? "Larry asked sitting  on a concrete chair in the garden.

"I'm  fine "Eugenia  replied  sitting  beside  him and continued

"So they want us to get married"she completed

"Yes ,this whole thing is  so fucking annoying. "Larry said

"Why? "Eugenia  asked

"Because  I'm already in love with someone else"he replied.

'Wow, I'm also  very madly in love with    someone."She said and continued

"I don't  know  why they  made that  deal ,its  a very stupid and annoying deal."she said.

"Where  is your  boyfriend?"Larry asked.

"He's here  in Nigeria "she replied.

" Wow  you're so  lucky, mine  lives in New York "he said and  continued

"I promised  her I was going to marry her,   I took  her virginity"he completed.

"Wow!"she said.

"I am happy  we both  know  we can't marry each other"Eugenia said happily .

"Me too"he said  smiling.
