Itās already seven in the evening; I glance around my room but still lying on my blue queen size bed. The party will start at exactly nine in the evening, my own party and I'm now officially a twenty-one years old lady. I lazily sit up on my bed and sigh, what now? I get off out my comfort bed and walk towards my bathroom.
Glazing at the mirror, I pout and smile. Am I crazy? Not to mention but maybe. I turn on the shower and wait for the warm water to come out. While waiting, I take off my clothes and let my soft long brunette hair to touch my back. I try to feel the water by my hand to be sure if it is already warm enough to get into the shower area.
My phone vibrates inside the drawer, a message if Iām not mistaken. Taking a deep breath, I decided to read the message first. It was from my older brother Frank.
Cheska,
Get ready for your party, the visitors will arrive soon. Happy birthday!
Instead of replying is message, I just sigh. I donāt really want this party; all I want is a simple dinner with mom, dad, my brother and his wife. I suddenly feel the angered that rose from within, the thought of getting engaged and marry a man that I donāt even know. I walk back to the shower area and step into the wet place.
The warm water soothes my skin perfectly; it made me relax and ease the headache that I got from my parents this same day. I donāt know why they did this but I donāt care about the agreement of my family to the family of the man I donāt even know. Iām not a puppet and Iāll let that strange husband-to-be know about it.
After ten minutes of showering, I walk out from my bathroom and start walking to my dresser. Dad and mom told me that my husband-to-be is not coming tonight because heās been away for a conference, an extraordinary young bachelor. Well, itās not a problem right? Besides his parentās will be at my party, so why not enjoy after all itās my party.
As I was able to get my glittery blue gown, a knock occurs at my bedroom door. āCome inā I said. The door open and there I see beautiful woman standing straight at me, and I call her my mother. āHappy Birthday Francheskaā she smiles genuinely. āThanks momā I walk towards her and grab her by my arm, given her a bear hug and she did the same.
āYou must enjoy your partyā she releases me from her hug. I just gave her a frustrating smile. āCheska, donāt overthink too much. Itās for your own good and forā¦ā
āFor the good of both familiesā I cut her off. āMom, canāt I just back off about the marriage? I donāt want to marry a man whom I donāt have a clue and besidesā¦ā
āPlease donāt argue about this Cheska, you and I both know that our family and Jedās family are friends since who knows whenā she kisses my hair. āAnd besides, your dad and I have seen Jed grow up. He will be the best husband youāll ever haveā
āBut momā¦ā āJust be ready for your partyā she snaps then leaves me behind.
By the way, Iām Francheska Shawn the youngest and only girl of the family except my mother of course. I just have one older brother, Frank but heās already married for about nine months and no child.
From the day I was born until from this very moment, I am still the black sheep of the family. It also crosses my mind that because of being a stubborn child, they want me to marry Jed Crawford the hottest young bachelor in the century. His family and mine were friends since I donāt know, thatās the reason why this thing happens. My family helps their company in times of need and they do the same for us.
My family owns the Shawn Group Company, Inc. it is one of the biggest and most successful Companies in the world of business. Frank helps dad into it but me? Iām just my parentās headaches. On the other hand, mom is one of the hottest fashion designers in the world. She ran the Shawn Design Incorporation but I didnāt help her and I donāt intend to.
From the day I was born until from this very moment, I am still the black sheep of the family. It also crosses my mind that because of being a stubborn child, they want me to marry Jed Crawford the hottest young bachelor in the century. His family and mine were friends since I donāt know, thatās reason why this thing happens. My family helps their company in times of need and they do the same for us.
But I donāt know why do both parts need to close a deal like marriage? I donāt want to marry a man that I donāt love? I donāt even know him and who knows if he himself doesnāt want this thing? I donāt even see him once. Because every time they will visit us Iām always not around and it also happens when itās my familyās turn to visit them.
I already finish putting my gown and make-up; I just leave my hair down. Iām ready for my party, Iām ready to face Jedās family and others but Iām not ready to marry him.
My brother is the one who escort me out from the house. My party is at the back part of the house where the outdoor pool been located. A sweet music erupts while I was walking towards my party. Itās fantastic, no! I mean awesome. My family did a great job for this event.
āHappy Birthday my princessā greets my brother Frank. āYou look lovely Cheska, I hope you love the effort we didā after that Frank kisses my forehead.
āThanks Frank and I do love itā I smile.
Leading me down to where the visitors are waiting I felt something amazing. Before I step the last stair, Jessica hugs me tight. Jessica was my best friend and my brotherās wife. āHappy Birthday babyā then she kisses my cheek.
āThank you Jessicaā I smile now where I know Iām on my dadās warm hug.
āHappy birthday my little girlā he chuckles and I tap his back. āDad, Iām now a ladyā I scoff. Then he pushes me gently, his arms holding my shoulders. āI just couldnāt believe that my little girl is well to grown up nowā and he kisses my forehead. Mom did the same.
After I hug my family I notice a very beautiful couple behind them, theyāre like the same age as my parents. My dad gazes at their direction and they smile fondly at us. āShe is really stunningā the man said. āI knowā the woman agrees.
āHappy Birthday Francheskaā the woman hugs me tight then releases me and the man did the same.
āBro, youāre absolutely right about your daughter. Iām sure Jed will fall in love with herā the man grins at dad. āHead over heels in love with herā the woman points out.
I feel embarrass about their compliments. There I saw some of my parentās business partners looking at me. I smile at them and look around. My eye focuses at the left table, where my classmates from high school smiling at me. I giggle and signal them to wait.
āWell, Cheska darling they are Jedās parentsā dad starts.
āIām Clarisse Crawford and my husband Benā Jedās mom introduces.
āNice to meet you maāam and sir but I donāt want to be rude. Ah! My classmates, they are here. If itās okay with you Iāll leave you with my parents?ā I say it calmly and respectful as possible.
āOh! Yeah, I know what you mean honey. I now like you to be my daughter-in-lawā Clarisse smiles. This is bad, way too bad.
āI hope that youāll meet my son tomorrow, you know what I mean right?ā she smiles.
āIām sure not? What do you mean maāam?ā I ask curiously. āJust call me Clarisse honey and donāt you know that youāre coming with us back to Seattle?ā
My mouth drops open in shock. What she just say? For Peteās sake there is no way Iām coming with them. Not now!
āWe take it as a yesā Ben grins.
Did my parentās really do this to me? Are they so eager to let me leave the house? I look at my dad confuse and he suddenly excuses both of us.
āWhat was that dad? Are you soā¦ā āLook, Cheska itās just a while and besides its good to let you and Jed meet nowā he said.
āI didnāt even accept this agreement between you and your friend daddy, why the hell will I go with them?ā I didnāt even notice that my voice rises.
āHoney, just try to know Jed more itās like give some chance between you and Jedā dad maintain his voice calm.
āWhatever you say! And besides Iām just a troublemaker for you right? Thatās why you want to get rid of me immediatelyā I snap.
āNo Cheska, we justā¦ā āGive it a break daddy, I must enjoy my partyā and that I left him behind.
I just enjoy my party and not let anyone ruin it. After all, itās all planned already and I donāt have a choice. Then a thought crosses my mind. What if? What if Iāll make some investigations by myself about Jed? I need to see some flaws about him and by that maybe both our parents will cancel the marriage. What a great plan I have in mind.
At exactly eleven in the evening my party is finish. Jedās parents stay at our guest room and I myself give sometime alone. I didnāt pack so much things, Clarisse told me that I already have some personal things at their house. How frustrating! Tomorrow, Iāll be leaving. I already say my goodbyeās to the whole town along with my friends, classmates and teachers.
