Dee household...
"So, how are you darling? I haven't seen you in a while. I've been bugging Michelle to bring you here but she wouldn't. She's always telling me that you are busy" Michelle's mom said.
"I'm okay mom. And yeah I'm a bit busy this past few months so I wasn't able to visit you" Anntonia said.
"How about the two of you? Everything is fine?" Mr. Dee asked.
"Yes, dad. We are very much fine. Right love?" Anntonia answered and nudged Michelle who was busy staring at her food since they started eating.
"Yes, no problem at all" Michelle gave her dad the best smile she could muster and looked at Anntonia.
"So, when do you plan to get married?" Mrs. Porsild asked that made the two of them cough.
Michelle gave Anntonia a glass of water before she gets her own. When the two of them calmed down, both of them looked at each other and to their parents who were looking at them and waiting for their answer.
"Uhm... a-about that. I, we haven't talked about that yet, mom" Michelle answered.
"Yeah... we are still young and we still have a lot of things we want to achieve so maybe some other time" Anntonia said.
"But we aren't getting any younger and the two of you also. We wanted to at least see the two of you wed before we... you know?" Mr. Dee said.
"Dad, please. We are still happy in this kind of relationship. We don't want to hurry and make harsh decisions that we might regret in the future" Michelle said.
"But on the other hand, they are right, we are not getting any younger. Can we get married tomorrow?" Anntonia said and Michelle secretly kicked her feet under the table.
Anntonia smiled in victory seeing Michelle's pissed face.
"oh... by the way we have something to tell you" Anntonia said surprising Michelle and getting the elders' attention.
"Just Michelle, I mean Michelle have something to tell, right love?" said smiling nervously since Michelle's eyes look like boring holes on her existence.
"What is it my daughter?" Mrs. Dee asked, leaving Michelle with no choice.
Michelle secretly glared at Anntonia and smiled at her parents.
"Well..." she started.
"We haven't seen each other in a while and had no time to talk about the wedding, that's why we aren't sure about what to answer. So, I decided to take Anntonia somewhere, only the two of us so we can talk about it and maybe settle things before we discuss it with you" Michelle said.
"Is that okay?" she asked.
The elderlies, looked at each other and then to the two of them.
"Sure... sure take your time. And enjoy your vacation" Mr. Dee said.
"Thank you" Michelle said her thanks and looked at Anntonia.
"Anntonia, darling" Mrs. Porsild called her.
"Yes mom?" Anntonia answered.
"Are you still riding your bike?" the older woman asked.
"Yes. Of course. I , I have..." Anntonia cannot continue what she was about to say when Michelle's hand went on top of her hand.
