16.
                        ***********

The night didn't go as expected after John's father choked up from his water. And his mother locked herself in their bedroom. John tried to speak to each of them, but both seemed not to be into talking that night, after the incident.

(is it just a choke)

I helped Matilda to clear up the dining table, I wished to help her with the rest in the kitchen but she insisted not too. So I went to the guest room and waited for John who promised to come and see me before he goes to bed in his own bedroom.

It was already late at night and I was tired, I changed to my white summer pajamas then went to the insuite bathroom as I washed my mouth then returned back to the bedroom.

Still wondering about what happened earlier.

I randomly removed the big pillows off the Fluffy bed which was covered with Grey and red bedroom suite, the curtains were in that color too, even the carpet on the floor had grey and red printing. I guess they were trying to conform, which they did.

I opened up the duvet and slipped in as I leaned my head on the headboard THINKING.

(Why did he look at me like that-)

"Come in" a knock on the door distracted my thoughts. Immediately after I heard that someone was at the door I raised my feminine voice letting the person in. It was John who was already in his silky red pajamas with his black and fluffy slip-on, he came in as he closed the door behind him, he wasn't looking happy at all.

He laid on the bed comfortable as he placed his hands behind his head, resting on them, he looked stressed. "Are you ok" I asked just to be certain.

"How can I, I'm not," he said staring at the white ceiling board but not for long before he turned his head to look at me next to him.

"I didn't mean to ask, it's just that I'm-

"Don't say Emily, I get it" before obtaining my speech he interrupted. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier, you know. my dad's scene, to be honest with you I don't know what's happening or what's happened, maybe I should have told them we were coming-" he said with a grim.

"But John that wouldn't make any difference, if your father doesn't like me, doesn't. Whether you told them or not it wouldn't change a thing" I muttered, he sighed heavily.

"I don't think my dad doesn't like you, Emily, besides why would you say that," he murmured as he leans on one angle facing me directly as he raised an eyebrow.

"Your dad doesn't like me, John, didn't you see the way he looked at me when I was coming down the stairs," I told with a frown. He shook his head trying to recall or remember his father's reaction when I was climbing down the stairs.

"No baby you're overthinking, I don't think so, my dad has no reason to do that, he doesn't know you he can't just not like you, he is not like that" he explained, shaking his head sideways attempting to convince me with his speech.

In a few minutes, after discussing and debating about his father liking or disliking me, I was already between his chest and arms resting as I felt my eyes slowly shutting.

And BANG I was slumbering.

******

I could hear the door being opened and slowly I opened my eyes, turning my body towards the door direction. And there he was with a lap tray of orange juice and something that smelled like fish fingers, MY FAVORITE, and more breakfast yummies.

"you're up" he said as he carefully walked towards my way, trying not to spill the juice on the tray after he had shuttered the door.

I nodded as I yawned "aha" he slowly placed the lap tray on my lap since I was already sitting up straight on the bed leaning with my back on the headboard, READY FOR MY BREAKFAST.

"There you go princess, slept good?" He murmured, lightly pressing his lips against my forehead. I nodded as I slowly pulled up the glass of orange juice, it always tasted weird before I washed my mouth in the morning. But I wouldn't let down John by saying that, RIGHT?.

"Thanks" I said still sounding drowsy.

After he left for a jog as he said he was going for it, I peacefully ate my breakfast in bed. It was so sweet and sexy of him to wake me up with breakfast in bed in his parent's home. before he left for a jog he had told me to eat up and prepare to go somewhere with him.

Once I was done with eating and had taken a warm bath, he came back to my room "wow" he said with a gaze "you look great in this dress, I have never seen it before" he said as he scanned my white Summer short dress, it had a little bit of flower lining at the bottom which made it even prettier.

I returned the smile as I spoke "you look good yourself, more like different" he looked down at himself and chuckled.

He was totally different from what I know him off, he was wearing a dark blue V-Neck T-shirt and light navy short pants, and black sandals, all of his strong arms and legs were out. Honest truth, it was my first time seeing him dressed casually. I had a big smile on my face.

I felt so happy seeing him off his tuxedos. I guess it was because he was home and no business was done.

"surprised I see" he said with a grin "totally," I said as I continued with what I was doing before he entered the room.

"What are you doing," he asked when he realized me removing stuff from the bed attempting to rearrange it "making the bed?" I said in sarcasm since it was pretty obvious about what I was doing.

"Not today, Matilda will do it," he said shaking his head as he took the duvet off of my hand, politely his expression was insisting so I let go of the duvet and reached for my phone from the nightstand and followed him out of the room.

"Where are your parents," I asked in a murmur, as we walked down the staircase there was no sign of them since I was woken up.

"dad had to wake up early for some reason and mom went to see a friend" he sounded not really convinced about his parent's whereabouts, so I asked no more but followed him outside the front door after I had greeted Matilda who was in the kitchen humming and doing some house chores.

Down the driveway parked a black latest mini cooper which I assumed was his. But then, he told me that he rented it, he said that his dad never wanted him to drive any of his cars. Which didn't make sense to me, but then his dad sounded like a strict man.

So he had to hire a ride for the week since the plan was to stay for a week. But I was no longer interested in staying more than a day, because of his dad's coldness but he insisted. And I was not planning to disappoint him.

***

"Where are we going" curiously I asked after a few minute's drive from the house. "you'll see," he said as he focused on the road.

He looked like he had too many things in mind and so did I, so I thought that some music might be better than the awkward silence. I stretched my hand towards the radio and Turned on station 94.7 that was my favorite ever, especially the afternoon show.

🎵I thought I'd end up with Sean but he wasn't a match🎵

I sang along with Ariana Grande THROUGH the radio, snapping my fingers as I moved my head sideways following the song rhythm, but not for long after John started laughing out loud, like really loud "hahaha- princesses y- you so funny"

(Funny)

I paused as I frowned because of his statement and disturbing laughter "did you just say funny" with a pretender hurtful face I asked, as I pulled an eyebrow placed my hand on my chest, turning my body to look directly at him.

His face was nothing else, but focusing on the road with a huge ear to ear smile on his face. "Babe, I'm kidding, you sound great seriously," he spoke in a snort-laugh.

I couldn't help but laugh out together with him, I was trying to act offended but he wasn't taking it, instead laughed even more. It was just jollity in the car throughout the whole trip until we pulled out at our destination.

I gaped out of shook staring at an unexpected scene, "OH MY GOD" I said in a low tone as I covered my mouth with both my hands when I realized that I've seen the unbelievable. I turned my head to look at John whom I realized was on shook as I was.

"Wait- tell me it's not what I think it is" John muttered with his eyes widen.
