Ryan POV
I woke up with swallowed eyes and it's all because of lack of sleep, I still can't believe what happens last night, sometimes it's seems like a joke 'really getting married with a guy' sounds like amusing for me, I'm not even at the legal age for getting married. Seriously, If I'm a girl they can get me pregnant too at this age.
I get up from the bed wash my face and after done with shower, I get dressed because in Callisto family you always have to be an upright gentleman, it's better living on my own to not take this much efforts in the morning. I climb down the stairs and maids are like everywhere cleaning and doing chores. Mom came and I greet her good morning, she still looks at me with sympathy. Derek comes too "hey baby boy, I hope you get a good sleep" what a good sleep I still can't forget it, I just annoyed at myself. He ask" do you have any plans today let's go for some fun, it can relax your mood!" That's cool atleast I have time to breath.
Mom says "let's have breakfast first, your dad is gone in early morning. He said that you all have to be at home before he comes in evening..... I guess there are some guests coming." I immediately conclude that, that guest is non others than the Grayson family. What a bad day!
Derek says " it's ok we will be at home before that but I have to take Ryan for some fresh air."
Mom says "ya! That's fine with me.....she hug me "don't get too tensed, all be gonna fine" I hugged her back.
We ate breakfast and start making our way towards parking lot. Derek ask me "which one do you prefer for a ride?"
I look at all the cars and bikes.....ummm that's a great collection, I says " I prefers bike that harley davidson.... I'm not in mood for cars"
Derek chuckles "it's fine with me."
We wear our jackets and he took the helmet and after getting on the bike, he says "hands tight, I don't wanna you to fall down." I buckle up my hands on his biceps and he start riding it. The fresh air in between mountains and rivers always makes me calm down. He ride for like an hour and we get on the sunrise point.... it's just eight in morning and the sun is ambient. Derek says "you remember, we came here all the time in our childhood and do the fishing in the lakes"
We climbed at the top of mountains and there is small cottage and lakes around and it makes me remember our childhood. "Ya...it still feels same only we just got big" he laughed.
Derek goes inward and parked his motorbike and takeout fishing rod and ask "what about now? Let's do this" I agreed. We sit on the bench there and dip the hook in water to catch fish. Derek is all about blabbering mood and he starts the conversation which I don't want to talk. He ask "tell me how you feel about this marriage thing...?"
I remains quite for sometime then speak "I don't know Derek it's like not believable for me....I even not have done with my school, what to discuss..... it's all devastated for me, I can't sleep at night....you know how happy I'm when dad told me to came here. Now it feels like why I have to come only for these things to happen." My eyes filled out with tears. He place a hand on my shoulder. "You don't have to say this..... it's your home, we all love you....dad took this marriage in concern to make you settle down here, you don't have to be pressured ok....if you don't want this, then that's it we can't force you."
I take breath in between the sobs and says "ummm yes that's ok, I have to endure this not for me but for dad too.....no one wants their child to be in a difficult position, dad must have thought for this beforehand."
Derek chuckles "cool, I have collected the fishes let's cook it and then we can eat."
We make the fire and roast the fishes and then we start eating.....he moan with the flavour and ask about the taste and I only nod in response. He makes random conversation and ask about school and time lapses that we didn't spend together. He says "you don't tell me about your relationships, how is it going?" And smirked.
I down my head with shyness "it's not like, I ever get in a relationship, that's out of my league....but, I have done various rejection though." He laughed.
We made our whole day resting in the cottage and playing games and catchup the time being. Evening comes to fast and we already about to leave. The fear develop inside my heart about meeting the guests, who will came today. Derek want me to cheer up, but it's not working. We make our way home on harley and the chills with fears make me shiver.
After coming home, we get inside and there is already preparation for the night, mom see us and ask to get ready for the night.
I run all the way to my room and lock myself inside. It's like getting in a safe place with all the difficulties. I ask myself to take deep breaths, it's all gonna be okay. The outfit is already on my bed.... it's all suit. I just sat in front of mirror and do the thinking. What's going to happen if I get married. Surely enough I'm interested in other men but what if he is straight......then, that's cool, we can make distance in ourselves and what if he likes me and I don't like him the situation is too tensed, oh! It's get my head all fussy. Suddenly there is knock on the door from one of the servants to get ready fast, they are all about to come. I just grab my head and face myself into mirror 'may be this is what we called destiny'.
