"It was an agreement when we were pregnant. We met on the 'Yoga for Future-Mommies' and became best friends and we happened to be pregnant with opposite genders and we agreed and..... okay... forget what I said. I don't even know what I said! And your dads are related! As in the far-related, related and so we decided..." Alice babbled on. While, I guess, I zoned out. An aftershock.

"So you made an arranged-marriage decision for us which we, as in Christabella and I, don't even know, and will never agree to. That's so... 50-s. Or 40-s... or whatever number-ties... it's just old fashioned! Can't we cancel it?" Zephyr asked, almost shouting.

"It's not that ba..." Alice stuttered.

"Well, guess what? I've got a girlfriend. She's errr... nice, beautiful and clever! Her name is... Jessica! Yea! Jessica!" Andrew added.

Everyone turned to me. I was numb. From all the information forced into my head. I think I need a new memory card or something. I was trying to interpret and understand every single thing they are saying but I can't. It's like they are speaking alien or something. Maybe I shouldn't speak bad about Zephyr. After all, he's my fiancé... OMIGOD! What am I saying? My what??? Okay. Let's just keep to Zephyr. This is weird and awkward.

"Christabella? What do you think?" Mr Jonathan asked. WHAT DO I THINK??? WHAT WILL I THINK??? WHAT SHOULD I THINK??? WHAT WOULD I THINK??? WHAT I MUST THINK??? Isn't it decided? If I said no, will they cancel it???

"Erm... I don't know... this is all too sudden... I... I need to go... to the restroom... the restroom..." I said. Giving an excuse so I can calm myself down. Or get myself away from all this...

"Zephyr, show her to the restroom..." Alice said.

"It's along the hallway there on you left," he pointed down the hallway.

"Go stand up and show her!" Alice whispered, giving him a nudge.

"Oh, it's okay. I can find it myself. Really..." I said.

Zephyr grunted a bit and mumbled something about his fiancée being a navigator-idiot. I felt my jaw dropped. Ouch! Then he motioned to me to follow him. It was a few second before my feet actually obeyed my brain.

When we reached the end of the looooong halfway. Gosh! I gotta say, they ARE too rich to be true... I stopped and turned around. It was so sudden we almost collided.

"If you don't agree, then you say it. I won't be hurt if you don't want to marry me... Cause I don't want to either," I said as coolly as I can.

"Who said I was gonna marry you? Don't try to make it sound like I want to marry you in the first place. Cause you are not worth my time..." Zephyr said. I winced, ouch! That hurts too...

..............................................................

Zephyr realized what he had just said. Now he felt guilty.

Christabella said, " And who wants to marry a jerk like you?"

"Who wants to marry an idiot and retard like you?" Zephyr shot back.

"You better watch it!" Christabella hissed. Trying to contain her anger.

"Oh really? Or what? What will you do? Cry?" Zephyr faked a laugh.

"I'm gonna... slap you!" Christabella raised her hands to slap him...

"Ooo... I'm scared..." Zephyr teased.

"Oh! How cute... arguing..." Alice said.

"I'm not marrying him!" Christabella said.

"I'm not marrying her!" Zephyr said at the same time.

"And meant to be too!" Tanya-Lee added. Christabella gave her mother a really hard stare. But Tanya-Lee deliberately ignored her and started giggling with Alice. Christabella shuddered. Adults giggling are really weird.

Zephyr came down and glanced my way on the couch. His favourite couch. With his dog's pee on it. You so don't want me to tell you the story. Just plain disgusting. But of course, they had the couch cleaned thoroughly and dried under the sun for a week. Alice couldn't stand the dog. It's cute and all but it's just not potty-trained...

"Hey! Why are you here?" Zephyr asked, surprised and annoyed.

"Uh! My mum's here, if you didn't see her beside me already. Why are YOU here?" I asked, staring at him topless. Ooo!!! Six packs!!! Hawt!!! I shook my head. I must NOT be attracted! Must NOT be attracted!!! I glanced sideways at his abdomen again. Man! He must be doing a a h*ll lot of sit ups and pumping! Hardcore! Pfoo! He saw me looking, he quickly put his shirt on and put his arms protectively across his abdomen. I turned away in embarrassment.

"Apparently, fyi*, THIS is MY home," he replied coldly, staring back at me.

Embarrassed and blushing furiously till I can feel my blood in my head boiling, I mumbled," Owh... I didn't know that..." adding an almost inaudible 'idiot' at the end of the sentence. Apparently, I was too caught up with YOUR six packs to remember that I'm in your house, sitting and YOUR dog-peed couch... so it's all your fault. I guess my words never escapes his bat-like ears. I mean, seriously? The next thing he did and said was...

Point at my accusingly and said, "I heard that... you..."

Alice cleared her throat noisily and said, "Aah!!! Come sit here, hone..." Zephyr shot her a warning stare, Alice gave a nervous chuckle and continued, "I mean, Zephyr..." Alice patted on the empty space in the couch beside me. "Your dad should be home with Michael any minute now..." I shook my head wildly. No! No! No!!! Don't sit beside me! Do NOT sit beside me! No!!!

Michael's my dad. Michael Mitchell. His dad has a really... UNIQUE name. Alexandre Sonia Jonathan. (say... A-les-san-dryer So-ni-uh. Man! Even the pronunciation is weird... I mean... UNIQUE)

"Why? I mean why do I have to sit beside HER?" Zephyr asked, irritated.

"Because I asked you to..." Alice said with a look that said, you better do or else... *The evil laugh*

Zephyr hesitated before rolling his eyes and then sat down, slumped, beside me. I moved away.

"Sit properly!" Alice hissed. He straightened up.

Hahahahaha!!! What mama's boy! Must tell Chrysantha about it!

"What's so important? Can we just get over this fast? I've better things to do," Zephyr said, not bothering to be polite despite his guests being present.

"Be polite," Alice warned. There was a click sound and the front door opened. Both our fathers in identical business suit walked in. They are both best friends. I don't know how they are related though. At least, I don't remember...

"Hey! So what's up everybody? Okay, let's get started!" that was my dad. He's... never snapped out of his high-school years...

"So you both must have known that, no doubt your mothers have told you both before we were here, you both are engaged on Christabella's 16th birthday right?" my dad continued, speaking like a bullet train engine.

Stunned, Zephyr and I said, " WHAT???!!!"

"You've gotta be kidding me, dad," I said, hoping he was joking. He's gonna break into a smile now and say he's joking like always. That's my typical dad. But... of all days... he chose today to be not-so-typical...

"Uhhh... dear... I'm not joking," he said seriously, and a bit unsettled. Maybe because he just realised that he was the one to break the bad news (for Zephyr and I) or the good news (predictably the adults).

*fyi stands for 'for your information'
