LOVE ME AGAIN

CHAPTER 3

As I came down the stairs I could hear voices in the dining room but before I reached my dad came out with an angry expression. "What have you been doing up there? Do you think you can embarrass me, let's go, and don't embarrass me more, at least you manage to dress up nicely"? As we entered the dining room, four pairs of eye met us but that was not what frightened me, it was the people, mostly the one person I never thought I would see again, the one person I had a crush on since high school was sitting in front of me in my house, I mean Nicolas freaking knight is right in front of me and we are basically having a staring competition until mother interrupted, it was like we were having a conversation through our eyes. "Angela and John, this is our daughter, Kayla'' mother introduced me to who I assume were Nicolas' parents and unexpectedly I was drawn into a hug by Nicolas's mother 

"good evening Mrs. Knights" I greeted

 "oh no darling, please call me Angela''. She said. 

"Angela, let the girl breathe while you are squeezing her, '' Mr. Knights said. And Angela released me and I greeted Mr. Knights.

 "How are you darling?" he asked, 

"Am doing very well, thank you, sir," I replied. 

"That's good, oh I want you to meet my son, you obviously have not met for a long time," he said. 

 Nicolas stood up and greeted me with a little handshake like a real businessman, although that is what he is. We all settled down and began to eat. The night went well with Nicolas' parents asking me questions about school and work and other things, the only surprising thing about today was that my parents were happy with me talking to Nicolas' parents and they also questioned Nicolas too then it shifted to business and other stuff.

It was time for dessert so everyone was having apple pie with wine. "This pie is lovely, did you make this Kayla?" Angela asked 

"yes, mother taught me how to make it" I answered giving the credit to mom because I know she would like that although mom never taught me how to cook because she was never interested in me so I learned from Agnes, who taught me with so much love and happiness. I was quite lost in my own thoughts until I was tapped by Angela. "Dear, did you hear me? I said I would like for you to teach me someday, would you help me" Angela asked. 

"Of course, it would be my pleasure" I answered happily before looking up and I regretted it immediately. You see the first offense I had committed today was coming to the dinner late and the second was zoning out while the third was just something I always get punished for and that was accepting an invitation without my parent's request. My dad always sets rules for me and if I break any of them well let's just say the rest of my day becomes unforgettable.

After the knights left, I was called to the sitting room, "what did I tell you about zoning out Kayla? You have some nerves girl and you came down late for dinner, do you know how embarrassing I looked in front of them" dad said with a sharp and stern voice before I knew it I was slapped by mother "insolent child, who would want to marry such a girl, not to say you even accepted an invitation without seeking our knowledge, you really have some nerves girl" mom said. I was almost at the brim of tears but I didn't let it fall out because that would just bring more beating and I have had enough today. I was sent back to my room with my mom reminding me not to think of having food at all tomorrow. That was my punishment.
