"Hello?. What now Roseline?, You can't cook your own dinner?. You can just order from take away, what do you mean you don't want to eat from take away?. Fine I'll go home now, yeah yeah I will, just wait for 30 minutes, perhaps?. Fine I'll go home now"
I looked at William who seems mad, he shaked his head and look at me seems dissapointed about going home this early. He just smiled at me and extended his hand so I take it and we walked together towards his car, he opened the door for as always. Even I'm dissapointed about going home this early, Roseline timing is really odd. I heard my phone ring so I get my phone from my purse, I opened it and look at it.

Jason The Great:

Me:
Somewhere in Dallas, I'm still alive don't worry.

Jason The Great:
I'm not up for your jokes, young lady. Where are you exactly in Dallas?.

I just roled my eyes and turned off my cellphone, I'm annoyed enough for going home this early and I'm not ready to argue with my overprotective brother. I just looked on the window, I hope I can go back here, this place is wonderful and I don't want to forget about it. I let out a sigh and closed my eyes, I'm so exhausted to all the activities we did, and of course for dealing with that bitch in the restaurant. I didn't realized I drifted off to sleep, I woke up when William whisper in my ear. I looked on the window to make sure we are really here in my house and looked on William direction to thank him, he just nodded his head and go outside the car to open the door for me. He helped me to go out so I just smiled at him, he looked at me with those piercing blue eyes he have. He leaned forward as if trying to kiss me but I heard my brother's voice behind him, William immediately let go my hands and go inside his car in hurry, before my brother approached his car he drove off quickly. I looked at my brother who have a stern face, this is bad. I smiled at him awkwardly and walked passed him to go inside our home, because I'm not letting him yelled at me outside our backyard, where all of our neighbors going to hear and witnessed me getting humiliated.
As I sit down on the couch my brother instantly sit in front of me, and if he was pissed off enough when I go home late, he is even more pissed off to see me with a man. I don't get him, he is allowed to date someone but me I wasn't allowed to talked or even date someone especially a man. His arms crossed across his chest he keep giving me his menacing look, as he opened his mouth I immediately prepare my eardrums, because I will not heard the end of it until I cracked or memorized his whole speech.
"Who is that?" Jason said sternly.
"Who is who?" I signed to him, better play innocent than admitting to him I go out on a date.
"The man who almost kiss you?, I told you about riding an Uber, right?. I told you to pick a lady driver, you almost get harass Sophia, what the hell you are thinking?. If I did not showed up, what will happen to you, huh?"
First kiss with my crush, that's what will happen. That was so close man, if you didn't showed up William and I will shared a kiss and also if Roseline didn't call him earlier. I just smiled at him, I hope my smile can calm him just a little.
