"Elisa! Come here." Mother shouted from downstairs.
"Coming ." I said, getting out of mu room.
"Yes?" I asked as I reached the last stair , looking at the back of my mother who was shuffling for her stuff in the kitchen.
"Get ready, your father said we are going on a vacation . To his friend's house to be precise. " my mother said urgently, but she didn't sound pleased. Since she was exhausted from all the work.
Neither was I happy .
"What?! So suddenly?" I said , annoyance clear in my voice .
"Yeah. Now get ready before your father comes." Mother said ushering me .
"Tch." I said in my mind . Obviously, otherwise I'd have been a dead meat.
I was almost ready when father came.
"Hey, done with everything already?"he asked
"Yes , I packed everything" Mother said.
"Wait, we are going to stay there?" I asked , now frustrated.
"Yay!" Myra jumped up.
I know she likes travelling and going out but we rarely go anywhere, and I like that.
"But-" I was about to protest, when I thought since it's about going to father's friend ,that means father has decided everything on his own , and nothing is stopping him, so I just kept my mouth shut, since i don'twanna be a goner.
Since we went there with our car we reached there pretty early. Turns out this friend of his lives in the nearby city and I hate big cities, there's traffic , and noise. And the things that i hate the most is getting stuck , in traffic, in crowd, between two railway tracks yeah and stuff.
So his friend's house was a mansion?
It's huge! But I thought there were only five people here. It looks like it could house 4-5 families. And if we stay here I will definitely gat lost for more time than I will be staying here. And way are we even staying here?! We never, NEVER stay at his friend's house. So why????
Anyways we went in to greet the family and man they look stunning, I have to admit these five people are better than average looking people. I hope I might not embarrasse myself here, or I might just wish to disappear. I can't even run away , this is not my hometown! Ugh.
I greeted Uncle and Aunty.
"Good afternoon Uncle, Aunty." I said with a little bow .
Don't blame me I watched too many kd*amas.
"Ah!Elisa , you've grown so much" Mrs. James said excitedly.
'What are you so excited about?' I thought. Don't get me wrong I obviously will get older, right? Even my mother haven't said anything about that .
"Yeah" I said .
"Hey Jasper, have you found someone for her ? What about my sons , they played together when they were small right?" Mr. James joked asking my father.
"Well , we'll see about that" Father said .
Even though I know he doesn't even consider that.
Wait, I don't remember playing with your children, maybe I did , i might have forgotten since that was long ago.
I looked at him as if he was joking.
"Yeah, maybe " Mr. James said mischievously.
Seriously,are you a matchmaker or something? Your sons are both one and three years older that me , i don't even remember them. I am just seventeen!
"By the way I don't see the children" Mother said.
They are young adults though . One is even younger than me .
"Oh , Yeah the boys went on a trip , they will be here by night." Mrs. Elara said.
"Uncle! You all are here already" Ria , their daughter came, she looks exactly like them. Was she five years younger or something?
"Hey ,Ria ! You've grown up" Father said.
"Yeah" She said
"Hi" She turned to me and Myra .
"Hi" we said at the same time.
"Hey , let me give you a tour of our house and your rooms" She said excitedly.
'Why is everyone so hyped up ?' I thought .
'Woah' THIS room is amazing . And the fact that my parents , I and Myra will be staying separately is more amazing.
Later we had lunch and then evening came .
"Aunty , let me help in preparing too." I said , entering the kitchen, seeing my mother and aunty preparing the dinner.
"Do as you wish dear" Aunty warmly said .
And making the dish I returned to my room , since they said they will do the rest .
Moments later I heard a knock.
I opened the door and someone jumped over me , making both of us fall and we almost kissed!
I opened my eyes and saw a guy one or two year older than me .
"Get off me! " I said.
"I'm so so so sorry" the guy apologized standing up .
"Who are you? And what do you want?" I asked angrily .
"I'm Sam, umm... I came to call you for dinner" He said embarrassed.
"You're Uncle Jame's son ?" I asked .
Yeah he looks like him .
"Yes. And sorry for that Ria kicked me when you opened the door. " He said .
"It's fine. I'll be there soon." I said shutting off my phone. After he left , i wonder if Dominic is back too. I started going downstairs.
My thoughts were interrupted when I bumped into someone, and the impact was so much that I fell back.
"Ouch" I hissed.
"Hey, are you alright?" He kneeld in front of me I looked up and saw a guy who looked just like Sam, but a little older.
"Yeah, I am fine." I said standing up , dusting my clothes.
"That's good. Um... you must be Elisa, Jasper uncle's daughter?" He asked , unsure if he was correct.
"Yes I am " I sighed.
"We should get going " I said, and started walking away, trying to get out of the situation .
He followed.
We reached the dinning room , everyone was already there. I sat next to mom and, unfortunately in front of Sam.
"So how was the trip?" Unlce asked .
"It was exhausting, and i'm so hungry now" Sam said trying to set the mood right.
"Yeah" I really need a break , dad" Dominic said , clearly telling Unlce to do the travelling himself , since he looked more exhausted than Sam. Even though he is tired why is he looking at me so much ?
We started eating shortly.
"Mm.... aunty this is so tasty , I wanna kiss your hands." He said , complimenting mother.
"That was made by Elisa" his mother said whispered, which was loud enough for everyone to hear . I glared at him and he looked awkward, since he knew I was still annoyed by what happen earlier.
"Right? I think we should keep her here" Uncle said .
'Why are you so adamant to make me marry your son?!' I thought .
"Yeah , maybe we should." Dominic said.
You were the last person I expect to hear that from right now .
I looked at him shocked . When i raised a brow , he just glanced at me and then continued eating innocently.
Wow.
"Anyways , Elisa you finished high-school ,right?" Aunty asked , changing the topic, Thankyou.
"Yes" I replied.
"So you're free?" She asked .
"Yeah I applied for some colleges so I might find something soon." I answered.
" thats good. So how about we go shopping and later you can get the city's tour?"
She asked , obviously wanting a yes.
"That's fine " I replied . Though thats what I hate the most.
Next day , we went shopping,
The mall , that we went to was Aunty's brother-in-law's.
Wow.
Talk about rich people .
So we went to a dress shop first and they thought that I would be the best person to try the dresses for me , for gifting and whatever. So I'm the model. This woman has the super power to make me do things I hate the most .
I tried over twenty dresses, and this I'd the last one.
I walked out and everyone looked stunned , even the boys in the background and Dominic who was disinterested since the past one and a half hour .
"Whoa , this one is definitely for you, Elisa. I an buying this for you." Aunty said walking towards the bill-counter.
My mother went after her obviously trying to stop her.
I was about to go back in , to change back , when Dominic suddenly said.
"You really look good in this " I turned around and he just glanced my way and then went back on his phone.
I turned around and went to change without saying anything. But were his ears red? Was i hallucinating?Whatever.
After three long drudging hours of roaming around the mall and shopping we finally went home.
I'm so tired, I'd kill to go to bed.
As I exited the car , I saw everyone already left! I was about to go too when Dominislc stopped me .
"Hey, um.. this is for you, I thought it will look good on you." Dominic said handing me a small box.
"Thanks , but I don't think I should take it" I said, trying to refuse.
I. Don't. Like . Taking. Things . From . People.
"No, its for you , and I might just throw it away if you won't take it , it'll become useless" He said insisting.
"You can give it to Ria?" I suggested . Nut then I just thanked him and took it. Better than a long awkward conversation.
After he went in I went in too. Then we ate dinner and I went to bed early, its too much to go shopping.
