Falling for Florence

20

After dropping them Adrian and Troy came to their own house. It was too late. Troy went to sleep. Adrian sat with their parents. "Florence rejected your fifteen years of hard work in fifteen minutes. She rejected all the dresses. All of them," Adrian teased.

"There is nothing like that. Every client has a different taste. She might not like them," Mom elaborated.

"I must say that she is the daughter of a lion. She has stood in front of her to be the mother in law from the first day," Leander added.

"Yes, father! She said 1980's dresses are better than this. I promised she said so," Adrian chuckled.

"Tell me one thing, do you make such bad dresses?" Leander asked from his wife.

"What happened to you, Leander?" To whom you are listening?" She answered him and warned him not to believe Adrian.

"To him," Leander innocently responded.

"She is straightforward. I like this thing of hers," Mom tried to change the direction of their gossips.

"Yes, do support her. You'll get to know her when she'll come to this house and they both control everything. 'I don't like the curtains.' 'The setting of the lounge is completely off!' I will ask you about it then." Adrian responded.

"Let her control. They both can do anything. It's their house. I have no objection, "Mom said calmly.

"Mom, why are you being boring mother in law? How would we enjoy?" Adrian finally came to the point.

"Quiet!" Mom spoke.

"Hey, no problem! I'm there. We'll act like stepmother that was pictured in cinderella. Father and son who acts like the mother in law." Leander interfered.

They did evil laughter.

"But dad, she is so cute. In fact, they both are. How would we be cruel to them?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah," dad thought for a moment.

Her mom put her hand on her forehead and she left.

Aurora was sitting confused. She was thinking about Adrian and Troy. She was worried if they mind Florence's behaviour of rejecting all dresses.

"Is everything alright?" Mom asked as she noticed her restlessness.

Aurora conceded, "I'm upset."

"Upset? From whom?" Mom worried if something happen between Adrian and her.

"From you. Who else?" You have arranged my nikkah on my henna function tomorrow. I had to enjoy it." She tried to please mom.

Mom laughed, "Who has stopped you from enjoying, my child?"

"The girl who keeps roaming in the house and calls herself your daughter. She started objecting on our dance. Explain it to her that it's my only marriage. I will do what I want to. No one should stop me." She innocently said.

"Fine! I will do as you say, my love." Mom giggled.
