I woke up.I was basically blind but I could hear a voice.A little fly-like voice.Hollering down to me."Whoever you are leave me alone."I buried my head back to my pillow."Girl if you don't get up now you won't make it to this dinner you've been telling me nothing about."I turned over."Who are you?""Silver."Explains a lot but she doesn't have to know that."Silver this dinner is with Crooks family.It's only 8 am.Juniper is picking me up at 5 pm.Let me sleep!"She let me be for a short while until she came back with Alex."Get up.Get the fuck up young lady."I rolled over."It's a fact that I'm young but who are you again?"Then they poured water on my face."Alex I will kill you!"He ran away.I ran after him and I tackled him.But he won."Get up."I took his hand and got up."You are so gonna pay for waking me up."He pinched my nose."No I won't.You love me too much."I rolled my eyes."Wait till I talk with your mom little guy."Then he ran after me but I ran away and closed the door right on time."Get out of there!You're not talking to my mom about my waking you up skills alright?!"I chuckled."Yes I am.Off you go my little lad."Then he gave up and left."So dinner with the Crooks family?Mkaes sense since you two are engaged.Right?"I nodded."Yes Mari.Want to spit it out or...I can just push you until you give up."
"Let's take this outside shall we?""Why?"She rolled her eyes."You'll see."I left and she came after me."Listen up everybody!"Everybody turned to us."Let's vote!Who thinks Rose is a slut?"Oh my God.This girl is unbelievable.Not so many people raised their hand.It was less than the quarter of the club tower."Mari?Your point being?"She turned to me."At first it was Ralph."I stopped her right there."Uhm...excuse me?You're the one who's been a fanati of him from the first minute.Unlike the fucked up relationship you two have we know we hate each other.And we both came to terms with that.If you want a list of my relatioships it's easy.There was this mundane guy.Ended fast.6 or 7 months.Then there was Peter.Lasted a whole year.That's it."
"Crooks?"Fuck.I forgot Crooks."It's still on going.That doesn't count as a past relatioship.Geez Mari.Look I didn't cheat on anyone.So that doesn't mean I'm a slut.That means I am a decent being.Anf unlike you I have a dinner to get ready to.If you had a boyfriend or some sort you would have that too.So buh-bye honey.Buh-bye."I left and I went to the bedroom."Well that was...impressive."I rolled my eyes."Every time.Every single time she tries.She tries so hard yet I still take her.Not my fault I am blessed with comebacks.I'm gonna get ready though.I have less than an hour."She nodded and I changed.

"You look good.Like...really good.""Thanks Silv.It's not too much.It's not so effortless.Right around the middle."She nodded."What about shoes?What are you going to wear?"I opened the closet and looked at the bottom.There is black.Then there is nude shades.There is red.Then there is black but with block heels."She came over took a look."I'm in between with black or nude stilettos."I lifted them both up and got in front of the mirror."Nope.Nude shades are out.Black looks way better."I nodded."I agree."

I was wearing my shoes when Crooks knocked on the door."She's wearing her heels.Give it a few seconds."I was all done I walked to the door."Here she is."We exchanged cheek kisses with Silver and then I left.I got a fire message before we got into the carriage."Don't meddle into businesses they don't talk next to you.It'll seem suspicious.But we love you and please look out for yourself."Gee Alex.Thanks for not telling my grandparents.I burned the message and got into the carriage."Who was it?""Alex.I'm gonna reply real quick."I replied as he watched outside.I got everything covered until we reached their place.
It was pretty good looking place.Their maid was a very nice lady.I really liked her.She led us to the dining room and when they said whole family I expected grandparents,parents,maybe a couple uncles and aunts.Not just parents and us.This does not seem like a family dinner at all.I sat in front of Crooks and his parents were sitting at the ends."Rosalind we are so happy you agreed to come."I gave a small smile to his mother."Thank you for inviting me Mrs.Crooks.I met your husband on my first day but we never came across."She turned to her husband."First day?""Her father brought her and when I approached her father we accidently met."I chuckled."You mean when you came over to insult my father but I interrupted you and pointed out your son being in a fight and you being totally emberassed ran away?I-I totally remember."I gave a devilish smirk that Mr.Crooks hated and turned back to his mother."I'm just being honest.I hope you don't get it the wrong way."
His mother shook her head."Of course not Rosalind.Honesty is a very good policy."After dinner Crooks left with his father and his mother wanted to talk to me at their roof.And I will admit they have a very nice roof setting.Beautiful flowers all over the place.A tea table to spend the afternoon under a little gazeebo like place."So how is everything between you and my son?"I chuckled."Uhm...things have been very crazy but it's calming down now."She placed her arms on my shoulder then chanted a spell."Ok so tell me what is really going on?You're basically in this engagement by force.That can't be good.I mean I love my son but he is so much like his father.Such a jerk.I've been trying my best but he just never learns."I am so confused.Mrs.Crooks knows about this?What?!Oh my God I am so confused.
"You know?"She chuckled.
"I know your grandparents has been dealing with these riots.For those to end you need to get inside to learn stuff.I suggested you one because I think you can put him in line.Two because it would help your grandparents to end this nonsense."I sighed out of relief."Do they know you're doing this on purpose?"She shook her head."And it will stay that way.Ok young lady?"I nodded.We hugged.I chuckled."Wow.Knowing that someone other than my grandparents knows feels great.Makes me feel less lonely."She chuckled."I need to tell you something.""Listening."And I told her about the sexual assult his son did to me.She was shocked.
