Night has come. Shawn will be here at my house shortly to accompany me to my grandparents house. I picked a simple red dress for this dinner.
"You look beautiful." Troy complimented me. "To bad I'm not the one to accompany you to dinner."
"I'm sorry Troy." I said. "I want to know how Shawn will hold his own under my grandfather's strictness. Even my father hasn't gotten his forgiveness after my mother died and is always under pressure when they meet each other. I want Shawn to feel that kind of pressure as well. This is also a kind of payback." I smiled at Troy.
"I understand." Troy sighed. "But promise me to let me meet them in the future, okay?"
"Of course I'll introduce you to them." I said. "Your my angel after all." I smiled at him.
Troy came close to me and hugged me tight. "I love you." he said softly to me. My heart squeezed. I can feel the heat in his body radiating with his embrace.
'Knock-knock'
"Yes?" I asked.
"Shawn is waiting down stairs." I hear Andrea's voice.
