EVELYN'S POV
The Taylor's will be coming over to our place this evening for dinner and the proper introduction of both families. Since morning I have been a nervous wreck, I kept thinking about what my future husband will look like and how his family is.
Early this morning mum and I went for grocery shopping to get things for dinner and this past week I can say she is getting stronger and a little colour is coming back to her face.
As evening drew near so did my nerves go haywire. We finished with our preparations and waited for the guest.
"Are you dressing like this to receive your guests?" My mum asked me
"What's wrong with my dressing?" I asked her while checking out myself. I was putting on a dark blue Jean trouser and a pink chiffon top which had flower printings on it.
"Don't you have a dress?" She asked me while eyeing my clothes with contempt.
"Go and put on a dress and apply some make up while you are at it" She told me.
"Yes your highness" I said slightly taking a bow to annoy her. Why must I wear a dress today and even make up at that, today isn't the wedding day itself I muttered to myself while going up to change.
At about 6pm the awaited guests arrived. My dad and mum welcomed Mr and Mrs Taylor from the door. When the came in I greeted them and as well I was looking at the door to see my so called husband but didn't see anyone.
"Where is your son Eros?" My mum asked the question that was already on my mind as they walked through the door. Oh, Eros, what an erotic name indeed I muttered to myself.
"He is attending to a business call outside, he will be with us shortly" Mrs Taylor replied.
"So you are Evelyn their precious daughter, wow you are such a beauty indeed" she complimented me.
"Thank you Mrs Taylor and you too are a delight to the eye" I complimented her as well. I know I am beautiful no doubt about that, atleast I should be ranking 8 out of 10 in beauty.
"Mr Taylor and my dad shook hands and he lead them to the living room where they sat. My mum called me out and asked me to serve them tea.
I made four cups of tea for the both parents since I didn't know if the Eros guy will be interested in the tea as well. I served them the tea and in turn went to set the table.
After about 10 minutes later
the Eros guy walked through the door and mehn is the guy fucking fine, scrap that he is smoking hot. Is it just me or is the guy walking in slomo towards me.
This guy's entrance just swept me off my feet. His handsomeness is definitely unprecedented and incapacitating. I just ran out of words to describe the feeling I am having right now towards this guy and my stupid heart isn't helping matters as well.
After I recovered from the brutalizing shock of the young man's finesse I composed myself and greeted him.
Good evening Mr Taylor and welcome to our home" I greeted him and he simply just nodded.
The fucking guy just nodded at my greeting instead of greeting me back. What insolence I thought to myself. In as much as I was mesmerized by his handsomeness he shouldn't be rude or arrogant at all because it turns me off in a guy.
Just then my mum looked over towards the dinning and saw that the table was set she then lead them towards the dinning.
After we were all seated, I dished out the food which was steak, lasagna and broccoli with a bottle of wine and fruit juice for me. This is because I am a very terrible drinker, I could never handle my alcohol and I needed to be composed in this gathering hence, I choose the latter for myself.
"So Evelyn I heard you are still a student?" Mrs Taylor asked me. "And if you don't mind me asking how old are you?" She continued.
"Yes I am still studying and my major is English and Literature and I am 21 years old" I replied her boldly.
I noticed Mrs Taylor looking at her son while I was answering her questions and the Eros guy looked so uninterested in my answer.
After that we ate the rest of the dinner in silence and headed to the living room once we were done.
"I think you and Eros should go outside and talk and as well get acquainted with each other while you are at it" my dad said.
We decided to head to the driveway and talk and as well enjoy the cool breeze.
"So you are an only child of your parents?" I asked him trying to start up a conversation.
"Well how many of us came here" he replied me rudely.
"See I am just getting to know you so there's no reason for you to be rude" I told him
"There is nothing you need to know about me so let's just get this over and done with so that you can come over and play wife" he said arrogantly.
"Wait did I hear you correctly, who is going to play wife?, definitely not me because I don't think you know what you are in for with me Mister" I told him clearly.
"I think you are the one that is mistaken, I will make sure you regret ever saying yes to this marriage" he told me in a threatening manner.
"Is that supposed to be a threat? Oh I am scared out of my mind already" I replied him sarcastically.
"I can see that you are a spoilt brat and you lack respect but I will not tolerate your childish ways so better grow up" he said but it actually sounded like a warning.
If it was not my mum I would never have agreed to this sick game I thought to myself and now I guess I am stuck with this fish bone head of a guy as a husband. I just have to be prepared to take him on whatever thing he throws at me because he does look like a tough one to me.
After his last comment he left me there and headed towards the house without telling me anything, hmm that guy is a total jackass I said out loud stomping my feet while following after him.
