Chapter 28 - One Thing Lead to The Other

The supposed to be a casual getting to know each other's dinner date turns to be a confession to an official in relationship night that all-in-all ended with a good note as they parted ways.

While both sisters's on their way back home Karol decided to open her mouth and said; "You need to tell mummy daddy about this when we picked them up tomorrow okay?".

"Yes, yes. I will tell them tomorrow, or better yet right after we reached home before I go to sleep I'll tell them" said Sharon as she looked out at the window.

Karol narrow her eyes at her sister who currently looks out the window then strike her thigh with a high 5 while laughing out loud in which earns her a loud slap by her thigh as Sharon to return her high 5 as the car sway slightly before return back to its original lane.

"Jeez, sissy. You almost get us both killed. I know you missed your bae so do restrain yourself from killing the both of us while I'm driving"

"Oh shut up, you can disturb me while you can. Just you wait till you found yours and I'll torment you even harder".

.... .... .... ....

The very next day, they arrived at the airport and waited 5 minutes before their parents exit the main gate. As soon as both sisters saw their parents both hops out from their rental car and help their parents with their luggage.

The family once again reunited and head back to their rented house while along the way William and Anna talk about their experience to their daughters who listen attentively.

Later that evening after their dinner, the Randale's family lounging around in the common room.

"I'm really glad that you two have fun," said Sharon as she plops down next to her sister.

Karol who's playing with her phone look at her right side, narrowed her eyes, suspecting her sister as she turn to look at her parents then said; "So... daddy mummy, Sharon got something to tell you both. Tell them big sis" she nudges Sharon's side and encourages her to speak up while evilly smirks.

Sharon looked at her sister side glare, clear her throat and in a small voice she said; "Ermm, I found someone that I love mummy daddy," while smiling shyly thus makes Karol snorted at her action.

"You LOVE? Not just like but LOVE?" asked mummy emphasize the love.

Sharon looks at her mother while feeling shy nodded her head.

William smirk at her before he jokingly said; "Did you skip the like button or you didn't see that button at all?" while muffling his laughter as his youngest daughter join him by saying; "She rips out the like button daddy" as she laughs out loud making both her parents joining in fits of laughter thus subconsciously makes Sharon joins in.

William gets his laughter under control as he smiles at his oldest daughter; "Don't worry baby girl, whomever you like or love we'll try to accept him as long as he didn't do any illegal stuff," in a knowing tone.

In a split second, he looks at Karol while raising his left eyebrow and then look back at Sharon back in a smiling face that didn't get caught by Sharon.

With overwhelming loving feelings, Sharon quickly walks over towards her parents and hug them while muttering; "Thank you, mummy daddy," as Karol too walk over towards them mutter a silent thank you then hug them in a group hug.

Almost a minute later, Karol loosen her hugs in which the rest follows; "Okay then that's settle, now let's go and get some rest because tomorrow mummy daddy, the both of you are going to meet your future son-in-law," as she turns around laughing while climb flight of stairs and head towards her bedroom.

The next day, a very nervous Sharon who was accompanied by her parents and an annoying sister who constantly disturb her lounging in the living room talking. As they were on a jokingly bickering stage the bell rings.

Karol jumps into action as she power walk towards the door, "I got it!". She walk over towards the door, thrust the door open and smirk before she welcome the man at the door holding flowers.

"Hi, welcome. Come on in, the parents are waiting for you"

"Thank you, here this is for you,"

Jason pulls the single pink rose and hands it over to Karol as she looked puzzled at his action yet grab the rose and subconsciously take a whiff of its scent at the same time she didn't forget to thanks him before she asked; "Ermm, thanks and why in the world you spray cinnamon perfume on it?" as she looks puzzled.

Jason shrugs his shoulder in an 'I don't know' gesture as he said; "I did not and that's not from me, it's from your secret admirer. Plus, he was the one who holds the flower until the very last minute so I guess his scent was mixed with the rose smell" making Karol nod her head in a single nod but couldn't shake the suspicious feeling off her chest.

'Secret admire? Does he or she knows the symbol of it as a pink rose, symbolize gratitude, grace, admiration, joy and a single rose symbolizes love at first sight. Oh well whatever, nothing will remain the same and this secret admire will be just a phase so let's not get it in my head but if I ever caught you, I'll probably just punch your face' said Karol to herself as she still looked puzzled but ignore it the closes the door and walk towards the living room where her parents and Sharon was at.

Like his charming self, Jason quickly makes his present himself like a ladies men smile, as he hands over his gifts to the Randale family, "Flowers for the beautiful ladies in the house and a bottle of Dom Pérignon Rosé by David Lynch 1998 for the man of the house,".

Both William and Anna smirks and smiles at Jason action which trying to earn some brownies point from his future parent in law.

Meanwhile, as soon as Karol got the rose and done with her escort job she dashes up to her bedroom just to put the rose into a small vase that she found in the kitchen, place the rose in the vase near the window as she opens the curtain widely then she heads back down missing the whole ordeal downstairs.

While walking down towards the lounging area, she could hear faint laughter that feels like a happy vibe, "You all get along with each other this quick? Damn, did I miss the in-laws family drama? Or there's none?" asked Karol as she enters the room.

Everyone turns their head towards Karol as she takes her seat not far from them, which Sharon jokingly said; "You just missed it," but before Karol could reply to her sister, Anna cut in; "There's no family drama or in-law's drama but we have news to tell you two," as she looked at Sharon and Jason.

Karol looked at them both smirking; "Oh shit thing just gets juicier," as she change her focus towards her mother while accompanying her father minding his daughter; "Language baby girl language,".

"Sorry, daddy"

"Okay as your mother just said we both have news for you two,"

Karol lean forward, curiously asked, "Yes? Which is?".

Anna pick her cups up, take a sip before she looked at both Sharon and Jason; "We know who you are Jason and even if you two aren't together or not knowing each other through this trip we still will match you two because it's time for you Sharon, to stop being a wild character and settle down and you Jason, same goes to you. Your parents already agreed with this with us. Well, it's your mother's idea to match you two".

Making both Jason and Sharon left stunted at William and Anna's words as they both speechless while looking at them in disbelief.

"But fate has brought you two together even without our help so that's mean you two are destine to be together" add William as he looks at them both.

Again a sudden silence has fallen over to them all as the room suddenly makes no noise nor movement; "Goosebumps! This is totally like drama like situation well minus the evil in-law's situation" said Karol breaking the awkward silence before she asked; "Wait! Wait. So you know about who is Jason this whole time and you played me?" as she looked at her parents in disbelief.

William smirk at his daughter as he said; "Yes we know and we didn't play you, Karol, we just let you be,".

In a shocked voice, as Karol felt slightly betrayed by her parents she hastily said; "Dang daddy! I even run a background check on him and do you know what I found on him?" as she ends her sentence in a little higher tone that makes both parents look at her smiling with an evident smirk on their face.
