The door flung open.
"Ash, Come...", Dorris couldn't continue when she saw the scene before her. She was shocked. She didn't expect this.
Ashley was embarrassed. She couldn't believe that Dorris will find out about them this way. All because of that guy that couldn't control himself!
She didn't even know how to explain herself to Dorris. What will she say? She was caught kissing her best friend kid brother! It is just like a sister dating her brother. This us what Ashley is afraid of. She do not want Dorris to see her as an immoral person.
Douglas on the other hand felt that it is all the best. After all, Dorris will have to know later anyway.
In split seconds, Dorris moved closer to her brother and hit him.
" How dare you?", she asked him.
Ashley raised her brow. What is happening? This is different fron what she predicted.
"Dad, come and see", Dorris called loudly.
" Your son seduced my friend! ", Dorris said immediately Louis entered the room.
"Is he? Why do I feel like the feelings is mutual?", Louis asked not surprised at all.
" You knew?",Dorris, Ashley and Douglas asked.
"Why won't I know when it is so obvious?", Louis asked them. He turned to Ray.
" Come on, son. ", he said and walk out of Douglas room.
" I'm sorry, Dorris", Ashley said.
Dorris sigh.
"It doesn't sit well with me. Are you sure this guy is worth it? Why will you date him?", Dorris asked.
Douglas was perplexed.
" I'm I still your brother?", he asked Dorris.
"That's the only reason why you are still standing uninjured after seducing my friend", Dorris told him.
" What are you talking about? Your friend seduced me instead! No straight man can resist her seduction!", Douglas exclaimed as a matter of fact.
Dorris turn to Ashley.
"Don't worry. I got your back. If he perform any nonsense, run to me.", she said and sigh.
" I was planning to be a mean sister in law. Who knew my best friend will be my sis in law. Don't worry bestie, I take it back. I will rather be a sweet sister in law.", Dorris said.
Ashley released the breathe she doesn't even know she's been holding.
"You had better be sweeter to me", she teased.
" I'm sorry for keeping it from you, Dorris", Ashley added.
"It's fine. You just stay happy."
Dorris turned to Douglas.
"You better grow up. You will be more pressured for dating my friend!",
Douglas hold his fore head.
" Stop threatening me! It's my birthday today okay.", she told them and rush into his bathroom.
Dorris scoffed.
"I can't believe you're dating this scoundrel."
Ashley smiled.
The bathroom door opened with Douglas head peeping out.
"Ashley, you can wait behind in the room if you want to see how a real man looks after a bath", and he winked and close the door.
Ashley blushed.
Dorris look from the closed door to Ashley who had turn scarlet red. She wanted to say something but could only hold it in and shook her head.
" Dad, how did you manage to know!", Ashley asked Louis after their meal.
"You guys made it do obvious. I'm an elder anyway. I could see you guys exchanging glances. The way Douglas will stare at you so boldly, He even sounds domineering when talking to you. I knew he has been crushing on you for years!", Louis replied.
" Wow! Dad you're so good", Dorris said.
"I couldn't even tell", she said.
" Do you want your birthday gift now brother in law?", Ray asked Douglas.
"Yes", Douglas replied immediately.
Ray passed a key to him.
" This?", Douglas asked.
"A car. I don't know if you will like it but I got it for you anyway. I know you love sport cars", Ray said.
" My God! You're so cool!", Douglas said.
"Why won't I like it. I've not seen it but I love it. I can't believe I got a ride for a birthday gift.", he turned to Dorris.
" Sis, you can never divorce RAY", he said.
Dorris blinked.
"Isn't a car too much a gift?", Louis asked.
Ray smiled.
" My brother in law is a grown up. He deserved all this. He should just keep treating my wife well.", Ray said.
"Don't worry, I will worship her", Douglas said.
He turned to Ashley.
" Babe, come on. You will be the first person I will carry in my car"
