Jemiah pov. The past couple of weeks have been pretty much the same. going to work, returning back home in time for dinner, watching a movie then retire to my room and stay deep in thoughts until sleep takes over. I have been ignoring Jason texts and calls for the past weeks. he even had the nerves to come to our bakery in search of me. Thank God my dad was around my dad walked him out and warned him never to come close to the likes of me. that night I had cried my eyes off on my dad's shoulders. he had carried me to my room and tucked me in and left after a goodnight kiss on my head. you must be wondering how my dad carried me. lol my dad has a really strong build while my mom is more petite. I am closer to my dad than my mom, I love them both but I feel more free with my dad than my mom. our bond is way stronger. I woke up, showered and got dressed. today was a weekend so that's means no work. we don't work on weekends .but dad is expecting some visitors, didn't say who they were. just asked mom and I to wear something fancy and prepare some nice meals. I wondered what kind of guest we were expecting for us to prepare like it was festival time. we made a lot of dishes, oven baked turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy and some baked oat cookies and honey chocolate cake for dessert. we had the whole table set up. I noticed my parents nervousness but choose to act nonchalant. whoever these guests were they were bound to be very important ones. I have seen my parents did nervous and cautious. it was like they were trying to impress whoever they were expecting. "Billy and dad tried their possible best to make our 3 bedroom apartment look very nice and comfy. After what felt like hours of nerves, our long awaited guests finally arrived. my dad quickly rushed to open the door when we heard the door bell. The first person who entered our house looks very rich and sophisticated, he was cut from money obviously and he had an aura about him .*a man who is not to be played with. * He may be old but he looked gorgeous and still maintained a great build. next walked in a petite and very beautiful woman who was bound to be in her 70's. from the warm look she must be the gorgeous old man wife. *what a pair * The last person who entered wasn't what I was expecting. *who was I even expecting* He took all of my breath away I found it so hard to breathe. "is he human? He's one of the most beautiful thing I have ever set eyes on. The moment he looked round, his eyes finally stared at mine. "I gasped at the sudden electrifying reaction which went straight to my middle nectar. if one look could make me this wet. I wonder what it would feel like when I feel his touch. " "stop thinking dirty Jemiah " I chanted inside my head. he's our guest, stop daydreaming. "welcome sir to our humble abode" my dad said inviting them in trying to conceal his nerves. why is my dad so nervous around this people. He finally cut off eye contact with me and went to sit with his, I assume his grandparents. because they were a little too old to be his parents. 5 minutes later we were all seated. my family and I on one side while the guests on the other side facing us. "Mr Pedro this is my daughter Jemiah Anne. and my son Billy." my dad introduced. "Nice meeting you, the older man said smiling. "same "I replied shyly. "such lovely voice, don't you think so son" he asked smiling at his grandson who was just staring into space. he just nodded *how rude * Mr Pedro choose to ignore him and introduced themselves. so the beautiful man is Ryan Don Pedro. Ryan..... such dreamy name. "Before you tell us the reason for your visit let's us head to the dining room. we prepared supper." my dad said smiling. "I thought you'd never ask " Mrs Amelia Pedro said smiling which made everyone except Ryan laugh. "we all proceeded to the dining room for supper. everyone served themselves and ate while having light discussions *all the while I couldn't help sneaking looks at Ryan. how can a man be this handsome. I noticed he wasn't eating much. he was just taking small bites and he never contributed to the discussion. Mr Pedro cleared his throat which got everyone attention, "I just want to get straight to the point, am a straight forward man . I came in honor of the favor I granted you 20 years ago. 20 years ago? that's around the same time we opened our bakery. "yes Mr Pedro. what do you want in exchange. I promised to give you anything you wanted 20 years ago. " my dad said smiling but I could tell he was fidgeting. * *what the hell are these two old men talking about * "I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER " did I just hear correctly? "To be more straightforward, *I want your daughter to marry my son Mr Ryan Don Pedro, that's what I want in exchange " WHAT!!!! I shouted in sheer horror which turned all eyes on me.
