Chapter 20 - Planning A Marriage

"Why did you tell me to hurriedly come home Dad, what's the matter" Rachel said as she rushed into the sitting room. She just ended a surgery and was about to rest when she received her father's message to come home quick.

"Looks like the bride-to-be is here" Jason said resting on the staircase railing.

"Have your sit" Mr. Lewis said to Rachel and she obediently but curiously complied.

"The boy you're supposed to have a blind date with is now available but instead of a date,. he'll be coming here with his parents so we can choose a date for your wedding" Mr. Lewis said to her.

"What, Why the rush. I agreed I was going to go on the date but I never say I was going to marry him" Rachel said now looking furious.

"The blind date was for the two of you to know each other better before marriage but it's no longer necessary since you'll be marrying him anyway". Mr. Lewis explained.

"So you want to get me married without my consent" Rachel said now at the verge of tears.

"Who knows, you might agree before the wedding, meet the boy first and get to know him" He said then stood up.

"Go to your room and have some rest, they'll be here in two hours. I need you to doll yourself up and look very presentable" He said then called Jason.

"Tell the butler to have all the exit doors closed, no one leaves until this meeting is over" He said and started walking away. Jason delivered his father's message to the butler and went to meet Jayden in the room to discuss about his brother Jordyn.

Kayla had gone to the kitchen to help Mrs Lewis and the Maid prepare food for the guests they were going to be having.

Rachel went to her room and started thinking if her relationship with Jordyn would just end like that. She looked at her phone and stared at the messages she sent to him which he was yet to reply. Lately, it had been taking him days for him to reply her messages with the excuse that he was busy anytime he was able to reply. Their communication had decreased greatly and was not like when they were still together. Rachel sat by the window and looked out at the maids who were going in and out of the large compound and think if Jordyn was already seeing someone else, or what better explanation should be given to this.

The breeze coming in from the window soon made her felt sleepy and she sluggishly stood up and laid on her bed, sleeping off almost immediately she laid down.

"So we won't later be In-laws in this lifetime" Jason said to Jayden.

"Honestly if I was told Rachel and Jordyn were going to end like this I'll never agree" Jayden replied.

"But that doesn't stop us from being friends right, we were friends even before those two met" Jason said.

"Of course, the best friend I'll ever have is you. Remember that" Jayden replied.

Jason and Jayden continued their discussion until when they started feeling hungry and they both went to the kitchen to find something for themselves in disguise of helping the women in the kitchen. Mrs Lewis and Kayla knew their motive and they both gave their husband and Son snacks which was enough to keep them away from the kitchen.

Two hours later, Mrs Lewis and Kayla had finished in the kitchen and set the food in the hall which will be used to welcome the guests. They had redecorated it and made it look like a ball room to make it more inviting. When the guests arrived, Mr Lewis and Mrs Lewis were the only one at the entrance to welcome them, Jason and Jayden weren't interested in the event so they planned on going out to have some fun and were getting ready to leave, Kayla who heard that the guests were around immediately went to Rachel to get her ready for the meeting.

Mrs Lewis ushered them into the sitting room and after offering them water. Mr Lewis led them to the hall and told them Rachel will be with them shortly.

Jason and Jayden were ready to go and as they got downstairs, they met with the guests who were just being led to the Hall.

"Mum" Jayden said as his eyes suddenly met with that of one of the guests.

"Jordyn" Jason also said as he saw Jordyn among the guests.

"Yo! Jayden, Jason" What are you to doing here" Jordyn asked.

"Are they the guests we're expecting Dad" Jason asked eagerly.

"Yes, where are your manners young man, is that how to greet your soon to be In-laws" Mr. Lewis replied.

"Guess who'll be the happiest today Dad" Jason said and hurriedly rushed back up the stairs.

"Jayden, how come you're here" Mr. and Mrs Wilmar chorused.

"This is Jason's house mum, I told you I was staying with him right" Jayden replied.

"Wow, I still can't believe this" Jordyn replied.

"How's Rachel" He asked Jayden who started smiling.

"Do you know my daughter" Mr. Lewis asked.

"Yes sir, she's my girlfriend, we met in America four years ago" Jordyn replied.

"You must be the Jordyn they're always talking about" Mrs Lewis said.

"Yes ma'am, I am the Jordyn, and I believe we've met once" Jordyn replied her.

"Is that so, it must have been when I visited America since four years ago, that explains why I couldn't remember your face" Mrs Lewis said.

" Kayla needs to hear about this" Jayden said and also started going up the stairs to find Kayla.

"Rachel" Jason shouted opening the door to Rachel's room. Rachel was very as she heard her name being shouted and quickly jumped up from the chair where her make up was being done.

"You won't believe who's here" He said to her.

"Who is here" She asked him.

"Jordyn" He replied pointing out to the staircase.

"Are you serious" She asked looking confused without any expression in her eyes.

"I'm damn serious" He replied and Rachel quickly rushed out of her room with the half make up on her face.

She rushed down the stairs and used her eyes to scan for him immediately she got to the sitting room.

She looked towards her parents direction and saw him standing amidst his parents. She quickly run towards him and jumped on him happily as she sobbed softly.

"I missed you" She said amidst tears.

"I missed you too" Jordyn replied.

She got down from his hand and looked at him for a while then started hitting him on his chest still sobbing.

"Why weren't you replying my texts, why weren't you picking my calls, you should have informed me you were coming, how could you make me wait for you" She said to as she she continued hitting him.

"I'm Sorry Rachel, I just didn't know how I was going to talk to you after I heard I was getting married to someone I don't know, if I'd known you were the one I was going to meet for the blind date I'd have came instead of excusing myself with work" Jordyn explained.

He held her head and placed it on her chest as he stroke her hair to comfort her.

"Looks like we're the one who need to give our consent not the kids" Mr. Lewis said.

"Yes, I agree and we already did. If we didn't we won't be here. isn't that right" Jordyn's father said.

"Very right, let's head to the hall. Looks like this two needs some catching up to do" Mr. Lewis said looking at Jordyn and Racheal who were still holding themselves.

"Looks like we were going to be In-laws after all" Jason said to Jayden and brought out his hand to shake him.

"I guess that's true" Jayden replied and took Jason's hand as the hand-shaked.

Their parents who heard them made the statement and saw them shaking all bursted into laughter.

"They also gave their consent" Jordyn's mother said and they all laughed again.

They were directed into the hall and Jason, Jayden and Kayla joined them since they were now interested in the meeting.
