"I am in love" Willow's little sister, Welma shouts as she bursts through her sister's door who yawns as she gets up from the bed stretching her body and blinking her eyes.

"Oh Willow, he is the most romantic man ever" Welma sighs as she falls on top of her sister's bed and Willow has no choice but to kick her sister down from the bed.

"Willow" Welma yelps as she falls off the bed and Willow silently gets down the bed and steps over her sister.

"Are you even listening to me?" Welma asks and Willow opens the door walking downstairs to the kitchen.

"Food" Willow grumbles as she takes a seat and lays her head on the counter before Welma rolls her eyes and hurries to grab the plate before pushing it towards her sister.

"I went and got you donuts" Welma smiles and Willow silently takes a bite as finally she feels human.

"Where's mom and dad?" she asks and Welma smiles sweetly at her big sister.

"Mom went grocery shopping and dad went out with his friends"

"Who goes to grocery shopping at five in the morning?" Willow groans as she checks the time.

"It's five in the afternoon, Willow" Welma sighs as she stares at her sister.

"Five in the afternoon?" Willow gasps in shock.

"Yes, you slept through all night and day" Welma sighs.

"Fuck and there's still a night to end this god forsaken day" Willow curses as she finishes her donut.

"Wait, you said mom and dad were out"

"Yeah" Welma nods.

"Cool, the day was long and night will be longer I need nuggets and pizza" Willow states as she messages both her parents to bring the said things.

"What are you doing home?" Willow asks her sister who clears her throat.

"Did you not hear me say I am in love?" Welma asks her sister and Willow stares at her blankly.

"Being the middle child, you learn to stop listening to the noises around you by the age of three Welma, move on" Willow states and Welma pouts.

"Are you not happy that I finally found happiness?" she asks her sister.

"Who the fuck in the world becomes happy for other happiness?" Willow asks and Welma narrows her eyes at her sister.

"You are just bitter"

"It's five in the morning"

"It's afternoon"

"But in my head, it is, in my appearance it is" Willow points and Welma stares at the night gown her sister was still in.

"Why don't you go and shower, I will make you some coffee and then we can talk all about my love life" Welma smiles sweetly.

"Coffee is for losers, pull out a vodka for me. And wait, why do I have to talk about your love life, when my cellphone is full of books I can cry into?" she asks and Welma stares at the ceiling for patience.

"Because, I need your help to talk with dad, as he proposed me" Welma states as she puts her hand out to show her ring.

"Are you even legal to get proposed?" Willow asks her sister as she is finally out of her sleep zone.

"I am twenty-five, Will, I am more than legal" Welma reminds her sister.

"Well then what the fuck are you doing staying at our parent's house?" Willow asks as she stares at the ring.

"You are twenty-nine and still in our parent's house and let me remind you, unemployed" Welma points making Willow narrow her eyes.

"That is why you need to move; mom and dad cannot look after two children, good thing the first child has already moved out"

"Or how about you find a job, help mom around instead of sleeping till let me check the time, oh, five in the afternoon?" Welma snaps at her sister.

"Did you said something about a guy dad has never met and who proposed to you?" Willow reminds her and Welma groans.

"Please, Will, please help me out in this. I really, really love him and cannot live without him. And I have already said yes to him, he has gone to talk to his parents and soon they will want to meet mom and dad"

"Are you pregnant?" Willow asks and Welma gasps.

"No! My Tony is a gentleman" Welma defends her man and Willow narrows her eyes.

"But you are not a Lady" she points making Welma rolls her eyes.

"Whatever, you may think I don't care"

"Fine, going to shower" Willow states as she turns to leave but Welma hurries to stand in front of her.

"Will, please, please"

"See, the bright side, you can take over my room as well as it is bigger and better than yours and you will only have to see me in rare occasions" Welma pleads.

"I saw these books online that..."

"587, my card pin, use it, buy whatever you want" Welma grips her sister's hand pleadingly and Willow sighs.

"Only because I accidentally read part one of that series and now, I want the whole series, else" Willow states before she agrees.

********

"I am home" Willow's father shouts as he walks in and Willow grins as she hurries downstairs and the man grins.

"My snow white has finally woken up without the true love kiss" her father grins Willow grins back before she grabs the bag of food.

"Thanks dad, don't tell mom" she shouts before running back to her room and walking down.

"Honey, move" Willow's mother Wynter groans as she walks in the house with bags and her husband jumps away.

"Mom" Willow shouts in excitement as she rushes to help her mom with the bags and dumps it all in the kitchen.

"I swear to God, I cannot do this weekly shopping anymore" the woman sighs as Willow hurries with a glass of cold water for her mother.

"Did you get dinner?" she asks her mother who nods, your dad went to grab other bags" she replies.

"Honey, why is there nuggets and pizza?" her father asks and Willow smiles.

"Because that's for dinner" she replies and her father narrows his eyes.

"You are not snow white but Cruella" he shakes his head knowing well what his daughter just did.

"Unpack the grocery" her mother orders and Willow nods as she goes to unpack it.

"We need to turn the wi-fi off after midnight" her mother speaks making Willow pause as she tilts her head and stares at her mother.

"Why?"

"When did you wake up?" her mother asks and Willow sighs.

"I swear I woke at four in the morning and just thought I will just take a small nap and next thing you know I over slept, happens all the time"

"Happens only to you, so no wi-fi after midnight"

"Joke's on you mom, if you think I am busy scrolling through internet, until wee hours" Willow laughs.

"Girls your age are..."

"Wasting their time in unwanted things"

"You don't even have job"

"But the bills are being paid"

"Willow" her mom sighs.

"Mom, chill anyways. I am on mini vacation"

"David talk with your daughter" her mother shouts for her father who just groans in reply.

********

"Can we not have any salads for dinner, instead?" Welma asks as she stares at the greasy food.

"Maybe next time one of you should cook" her mom chides and Welma glances at her sister to start the discussion but when she does not start anything Welma does.

"Willow has something for you all to say" she starts and Willow stares at her sister with a frown.

"She does?" her parents ask.

"I do?" Willow asks and Welma glares at her sister.

"Yeah" Welma nods as she pretends to focus on food.

"What is it?" her father asks and Willow sighs as she clears her throat.

"Well, I was thinking"

"About?" David asks as he puts his spoon down and stares at his daughter.

"Nothing, it was just a thought, came and passed away" Willow smiles as she shoves food in her mouth and Welma groans before she gets up and slams her hand on the table before as she looks ate her parents.

"I am in love and I really love this guy, he asked me to marry him and I said yes" Welma informs at once and all of them just stare at her in shock before both her parents starts to talk at once both in panic, confusion and finally her mother in happiness as Welma pulls out her ring and shows it.

********

"You have got to be shitting me. You cannot marry just any guy, you just met weeks ago"

"But dad" Welma pouts.

"Shut it, Will, did you know about this?" David asks his elder daughter who shakes her head no.

"I am still in shock"

"Oh my God, but David look at the ring" his wife gushes and David rubs his forehead silently praying for patience.

"He can be anyone, a druggist, a kidnapper or involved in a girl's trafficking" David scolds his daughter.

"Tony is really kind and good dad; all we have done is kiss and hold hands"

"Oh, for goodness sake" David shouts not wanting to hear what his daughter did with a boy.

"I will die without him dad, please" Welma pleads and David sighs.

"Baby, listen, I get it you think you are in love, but honey, sweety thinking and being is whole different thing and more over marrying him? We don't even know the guy"

"I do dad and you will love him when you meet him"

"I will kill him when I meet him" David groans before states.

"Why can you not be more like Willow, in all her life she has never once given us troubles about boys" he points and all of them stares at Willow who had her face shoved in the pizza box, licking the sauce.

"That's because she does not have a life dad, all she does is sleep, eat and sleep more. I cannot stop my life because my big sister is nothing but a slob, some of us have hopes and dreams" Welma shouts as she storms out of the room and all of them hear her dramatic exit before the sound of the door slamming is echoed.

********

"Why don't we meet the guy, what if he really is a good man. Willow does not want to get married fine, we have two daughter David, Welma's life should not stop because of others" his wife sighs before she gets up to talk with Welma.

"I will go clean the kitchen" Willow states before she walks away and David sighs as he follows his daughter.

"Have you met the guy?" David asks his daughter who shakes her head no.

"Know anything about him?" he asks and once again she shakes her head.

"This seems way serious than the time she wanted a teddy bear the size of her door" the man sighs.

"So, what do we do now?" Willow asks.

"I am new to this kiddo, I mean literally, you never came home with boy's problem and whenever Welma dated, it would end before I had to meet them. I am in a new territory" the man confesses a bit nervous.

"What if I go and check the guy out, see if he is good?"

"You will do that?"

"Yeah, I mean"

"Thank fuck. Make sure you get every little bad thing about him because no man is good enough, ever for my daughters" the man points and Willow smiles before she goes back to washing her dishes.

********

Knocking on her sister's door, Willow waits for Welma to open the door and when she does, she shows her phone to Welma.

"I purchased two books from your card"

"You did not even help" Welma glares at her sister.

"Well, call your Tony Stark, ask him to meet me. Dad asked me to go check the guy for him" she informs and Welma's eyes widens in shock.

"He did?"

"Yeah, so make sure, he is in his best behavior because I am right now, I am the inspection officer of your groom-to-be" Willow announces and Welma squeals in happiness as she hugs her sister and jumps up and down.

"Stop jumping this house is older than your granny" their father shouts making the girl laugh.

*******

"Bro, please, please bro" Tony begs to his brother as he holds Maddox's hand pleading.

"This is absurd, how can you just fall in love and then actually purpose the girl you met few weeks ago" Maddox asks his brother in disbelief.

"You will have to meet her to know why, brother. She is the sweetest person I have ever met"

"And I am sure she became even sweeter after knowing your surname" the man points and Tony narrows his eyes.

"You want to insult me, bro, feel free but no bad words for my girl" Tony gets angry and Maddox sighs rubbing his face.

"Tony, there are far better..."

"They are nothing in comparison to my fiancé"

"Mom, will have an attack when she finds about this" Maddox sighs in irritation.

"That is why I want you to meet her first and then talk with mom about her. Please brother, for me"

"Tony, you are too young to know what kind of girls are..."

"Just because you have failed in your marriage does not mean every girl is like your wife" Tony points making Maddox glare at his brother.

"Don't make me say bad things" Tony sighs as he apologizes to his brother.

"Fine, I will meet this girl"

"Awesome, I have set a lunch date with her, we can meet her there"

"And Tony if I don't"

"You will love her" he promises.

"Now get out" Maddox asks.

"You are the best brother; you know and guess what my fiancé has a big sister who is helping us"

"Big sister?" Maddox raises a brow.

"Yes"

"What's her name?" Maddox asks.

"Willow, now okay bye" Tony grins as he rushes out of the room and Maddox frowns before he pushes the intercom.

"Get me our investigator" he orders through the phone before shutting it off.

"Willow, hmm" he mutters.

*******

"I am so nervous" Welma shuffles in her seat.

"Why are your nervous?" Willow asks sipping through her drink.

"I just am, now behave and don't grill him too much" Welma asks and Willow grumbles through her drink.

"Oh, he is calling" Welma squeals and Willow gags at the excitement her sister shows.

"Hi, yeah...uh...we are at the...no, no, where are you...we will come there, sure, sure, yeah...umm...iloveyoutoo" Welma hurries the last pat and Willow rolls her eyes.

"He says he is not getting a space in parking lot, so come on"

"I am not stepping a foot to go see him, he said about this place and I am not moving from here"

"Don't be so difficult, Willow, he is just outside"

"He is not getting many points, making his girlfriend walk in her high heels to him"

"Fiancé" Welma corrects her sister.

"Whatever, I am not moving"

"Fine, be this way, I will go to him. Don't go anywhere else" Welma warns as she hurries to the elevator.

********

"Brother, where are you?" Tony asks through his phone as he finally finds a spot and parks before hurrying to see his girl.

"Okay, cool, we will wait for you in the restaurant then, yes table no. four" Tony smiles as he runs to meet his fiancé.

Reaching the restaurant, he does not find Welma but instead her sister Willow.

"Yo, Tony Stark" Willow shouts for the man and Tony blinks before he walks to where she is.

"Hey, you must be Willow" Tony smiles and Willow waves her hand before Tony goes to slide but Willow stops him.

"Yes, your dear fiancé is right in front of me, hurry up" Willow sighs as she cuts her phone before eyeing the man.

"I get it that girls are into whole romance and getting sweep away but how can you be into it as well?" Willow's question makes the guy frown.

"Excuse me" he asks and Willow sighs.

"Get on your knees and show me how you proposed my sister" Willow demands and Tony narrows his eyes.

"Why?"

"I need to hear the words so I know you are better for my sister, a man who cannot get down on his knees and purpose is no man in my eyes" Willow state and Tony sighs.

"But getting on my knees for you, is it not weird?" he asks.

"It is, but this weird is better than you doing it with my dad in it" she points and Tony groans before he agrees.

********

"Wait, wait, wait" Willow calls as she hurries for the elevator.

Maddox stops the elevator before it closes before Welma gets in thanking him and Maddox nods his head in return.

As they elevator starts the lights goes out and it stops making Welma scream in fear.

"Bloody hell" Maddox screams before he pulls his phone out and uses the light to see in darkness.

"Oh no" Welma groans clutching to her bag tightly.

"What the hell happened?" Maddox asks as he touches the buttons to see if anything is working but when it is not, he sighs before eyeing the girl who steps far away from him.

"Relax" he tries to assure the girl who shoves her hand on his face.

"I am engaged so don't even think anything, because I love him and he loves me enough to come hurt you if you tried anything bad" she states at once and Maddox rolls his eyes.

"And I am married"

"Thank God, but really aww" Welma gushes making Maddox shift uncomfortably.

"I cannot wait to get married as well, and have kids. One son and one daughter and if we want one more and dogs, yes, we will need dogs. We will need a big garden as well, so our kids can play and the dogs too...

Do you have dogs?" Welma asks him and Maddox sighs before he asks her to stay quiet while he calls the emergency number attached on the elevator to see when they will fix it.

The elevator starts once again and Maddox sighs in relief so does Welma.

"Well thank god, it started" Welma states but Maddox does not reply.

Seeing him aloof, Welma quiets down as well before they reach the first floor.

"Oh, this is me" Welma states as she hurries to get out and Maddox gets pushed a bit before he finally is alone.

Stepping out, Welma looks around before groaning as she got out in wrong floor as she turns and waits for another elevator hoping her sister did not made her fiancé run away.

********

Maddox steps out of the elevator but stops in his track as he finds his brother on his knees, with narrowed eyes her checks out the girl his brother was with before he pulls his phone out and clicks few pictures of the girl.

Turning back, he gets in the elevator and punches for the ground floor, while he texts his brother saying he could not make it before making a call to his private investigator.

"I will send you few pictures of a girl, name Willow. I need every single detail on the girl" he orders before shutting his phone.

*******

"Well?" Tony asks as he stares at Willow still on his knees.

"God, just saying you love her and want babies with her and marry me, that's it and my sister got sold out?" Willow asks the guy and Tony grins nodding his head.

"Jeez, no crying material at all, or even worth talking about" Willow groans before she asks Tony to get up just as Welma walks in.

"Oh my god, what are you doing?" Welma gasps as she finds Tony getting from his knees.

"Wishing well" Tony exclaims.

"Darling" Welma sighs before the lover embraces and kisses each other while Willow covers her face, shaking her head.

"What the hell kind of nick name if wishing well?" she asks as the couple sits down.

"She is my every wish come true" Tony sighs as he stares at Welma.

"Well, whatever I just realized these stuffs just looks nice in books no wonder it's called fantasy because seeing you two I want nothing but gag and vomit allover"

"Oh, shut it, Willow, don't be mean. So, where is your big brother" Welma asks and Tony pulls his phone out to check on his brother only to find the text saying her cannot make it.

"Seems like he could not make it, he is really busy" Tony sighs.

"Oh no, then who will support us from your family?" Welma worries and Tony cups her face pulling her lower lip away from her teeth.

"Don't worry baby, my everyone will love you in my family" he assures and Welma blushes before he pecks on her lips and Willow coughs.

********

Willow stares at the couple who were busy saying goodbye for the last fifteen minutes but not done with it. Looking around she finds someone with a camera and knowing Tony was from a well-known family she hurries to alert them about the paparazzi.

"Shit, the pap" Tony curses before he hides his fiancé.

"A what?"

"Paparazzi, I cannot get our pictures leaked out before I talk with my mother, else she will kill me" Tony curses and Willow frowns as she hears it before she walks away from the couple.

"Well, then what?" Welma worries.

"Uh, what is your sister doing?" Tony asks as he stares at Willow doing weird poses before he eyes the man with camera focusing on Willow.

"Good thing your sister is distracting them, sorry baby, but I gotta go. I will call you later okay, love you" Tony states as he kisses on her cheeks and rushes.

"Love you too, be careful" Welma shouts as she watches her man run before, she turns to her sister.

"I think it's enough" Welma states and Willow grins.

"You so owe me for this" Willow tells her sister.

"We did not ask you for this, you did it on your own free will" Welma reminds Willow who sighs before she turn towards the cameraman.

"Make sure you upload it; I am going to google myself" Willow shouts and Welma pulls her away.

"You are so weird"

"Hey, this is my only chance to get famous, cannot miss it. Who know I maybe the next celebrity for The Bachelorette?"

"Yeah and the show may never air because the bride-to-be, was asleep the whole time" Welma jabs on her sister's side.

*******

"That's it?" Maddox asks his investigator as he stares at the two pages file.

"Uh yeah" the man nods.

"You mean to say, you have got nothing, practically nothing on the girl?" Maddox asks in disbelief.

"Sir, I have been following the girl as soon as you called me, but once she reached her home she never came back and well, when I dig in this is all we got"

"So, you mean to say, she actually saw you take her picture and then she went all the way and posed these idiotic poses for you and then even screamed that you upload it so she can google herself?" Maddox asks in disbelief.

"And you mean digging about her all you got was nothing, she just eats, sleeps and just eat more. No social life, no social gatherings. And you want me to believe that this girl, has succeeded in trapping my brother? This girl is older than my brother, she must be a pro in this work" he asks in disbelief.

"Well, checking her accounts and hacking into her phone we did found out she loves books, a lot, more than thousands of books are in her phone library"

"So, no crimes, no allegations, not even a ticket? Nothing illegal?"

"She is a criminal"

"Now you are talking" Maddox grins.

"She has gone lengths to not just download books illegally, but she even emails it to her friend, which is a big crime and if you want to put charges on her, she can get caught" the man states and the grins wipes off Maddox's face as he closes his eyes praying for patience.

"Well, just give me few more days, I can dig deeper. She is not a favorite person to many of her relatives"

"And I wonder why?" Maddox states sarcastically but the investigator ignores it as he replies.

"She is famous with the male side of her family but not with the females, because they think she is of age and should start dating and settle down and because she is not settled down and always in her room with books, this has affected her cousin's dating life...

She has set an example of well disciplined every dad's dream daughter, because she never gets in trouble. Sometimes few of the men in the family even seek advice and help when things are out of hand"

"Enough" Maddox asks the man as he feels a headache before he stares at the picture of the girl.

"Get out, I think I have had enough of this crazy girl for a day"

"She is not crazy, she is very..."

"I said enough"

"Oh well, then I will be get going, by seriously she is every father's dream daughter. I mean which father wants to know about his daughter's dating life or that she is even thinking to date?" the investigator states before he gathers the file and walks out.

*******

"Bro, not fair" Tony sighs as he joins his brother for dinner at his mother's house.

"Tony, not now"

"Oh, come on, you did not even come to meet her and we need to go meet her parents"

"Whose parents? What is going on?" Tony's mother speaks as she walks in the room and Tony eyes his brother.

"Nothing mom" Maddox sighs as he gets up to greet his mother.

"Well did not sound like nothing, what is it?" she asks as she pinches Tony's cheeks.

"Tony is in love" Maddox sighs and his mother stares at her youngest son.

"Oh, I am sure it will fade away" the woman waves her hand.

"And he has proposed her, she said yes" Maddox adds which stops the woman making her turn to face Maddox.

"Which family does she belongs to? Have I met her in any gatherings?" she asks.

"Her father was a high school teacher" Maddox replies and his mother eyes widens in shock.

"Oh well, the dinner is getting cold" the woman smiles as she ignores the topic.

"I don't care about her family background mom, I love her"

"And love will not buy you clothes to wear, put food in table, the only thing it gives you is sex and kids" the woman states walking away and Maddox grabs his brother's hand stopping him.

"Is she really our mother?" Tony asks his brother.

"Calm down, you have already gone against her and rebelling is not an answer. I will talk to her about Willow"

"Willow?" Tony frowns.

"Yes, Willow, your fiancé" Maddox reminds and Tony laughs.

"Bro, my girl's name is Welma, Willow is the big sister"

"But this morning you said"

"Well you asked for the big sister's name"

"I...forget it" Maddox stops knowing what a blunder mistake he made.

*******

"Mother" Maddox calls as he joins the woman with a drink.

"Tony is young, he does not understand, but you are old enough to know better Maddox"

"I also know, marrying for money and power is not a good idea"

"Well, what else do you want? Sacrifices needs to be done, I sacrificed myself for this family as well" she reminds and Maddox quietly sips his drink.

"Why don't we just meet the girl and her family, Tony will not listen to us so we need to play along"

"Not on this"

"Well, I am sorry but I was not the one who spoiled him, making him to stubborn that he thinks he can get anything he wants" Maddox scolds his mother who sighs.

"I have plans for him, there are so many..."

"Mom, I think you have ruined your one son's life enough, so please don't try to fix another's life by making him marry someone else"

"It's not my fault if you could not sit down and mend your relation with her when you had time, if not for your own sake then for the kids but..." she reminds and Maddox puts the glass down.

"I don't want to talk about my life and anyways, I am going to invite the girl and her family for dinner on Friday. I will also try to make it clear to them that this relation will not work in their favor, so please do not do anything to rile Tony, let me handle it on my own" he requests his mother.

"Fine, but just this one dinner Maddox" the woman asks before Maddox leaves.

********

Willow jumps off her bed and locks her door at once when she hears Welma scream and squeal, holding her breath Willow waits and she sighs in relief when her sister runs past her room. Walking back to her bed she falls face down and sighs as she stares at the wall before she hears a knock on her door.

A knock she cannot ignore.

"Willow, a word" her father calls making her bury her face on the cover and groan.

"I cannot believe this; I cannot believe this at all" Welma squeals as she paces around the living room while her family stares at her.

"What should I wear for the dinner? What if his mother does not like me? What if I spill the spoon on my dress, should I take extra dress so if I ruin one, I can go change?" she asks her family and Willow glances at her father.

"How about we don't go to the dinner at all?" he asks and Welma stops her facing before she gasps dramatically as if she just found her beloved left her.

"That would be rude, David" her mother chides.

"Yes, and anyways I have never been to a dinner to a famous family's house. Oh, I cannot wait to check their dishware, they must be using silver utensils" her mother sighs and Willow glances at her father who glares at his wife and daughter.

"I do not feel good about this" David protests.

"Oh, shut it, they are being so nice calling us for dinner, this is the only chance we can get grandkids David"

"Mom, William has given you two grandkids" Willow reminds.

"So? I want one from my daughter's side and seeing how you have said no to dating or marriage Welma will fulfill my dreams" the woman states and Willow slips down from the sofa slowly as she stares at her father who eyes her and nods towards the door.

********

"You have to stop this"

"Uh, dad, it's not like Tony will fall in love with me and leave Welma"

"That family is way, way, wayyyyy out of our league"

"Looked like humans to me" Willow points.

"Willow, baby girl, I am ready to marry off Welma to a beggar but not that family"

"Why?" Willow frowns.

"Which part of them being famous and rich and we not any of those don't you get?" he asks and Willow frowns.

"Dad, you told me to go check on the guy and he was fine, he made Welma happy and now you want me to break them? What am I, your personal terminator?" she asks and the man rubs his face.

"I do not see any good with this"

"It's just a dinner"

"Yeah and then it will just be a wedding, then babies, then fights and divorce and nothing will be left"

"You are being over dramatic" she points and the man goes to speak but she stops him.

"Dad, if I did not know better, I would not have made a fool of me this afternoon and even so they did not post the pictures, damn I was so looking forward to it, but that apart let's go have dinner and we will see...

Chances are they may not like Welma" Willow points.

"I don't like the idea of no one liking my girls" he grumbles.

"Then we will make sure they regret letting her go, chill, grow up dad, you have to walk down the aisle or are you scared that you will trip and fall down on doing so?" she teases her father who chuckles.

"Wearing a bear suit again does not appeals me"

"Then we will make them marry in Hawaiian style" she grins before the father-daughter duo raises their hands to the side and moves their hips while laughing.

*********

Welma smiles brightly as the door opens and Tony stands and the couple as soon as they see each other, as if the world does not exist embraces each other and before they can kiss David clears his throat loudly.

"Dad" Welma blushes before she makes the introductions.

"It's very nice to meet you all" Tony smiles as he asks them walk in and Willow hits him on his stomach.

"Careful hot-blooded male you are walking on red zone" she warns making him grin.

"You have a very beautiful home" Welma states to Tony.

"Spent millions for the décor, we got these tiles especially from Italy" Tony's mother speaks as she walks in and all of them stare at the woman.

"Cleaning the house must be a pain in the ass" Willow mutters.

"That is why we have twenty staffs in this house, to clean and cook" the woman smiles and Willow holds her eye roll.

"Welma, my mother, Ella and my big brother Maddox Gray" Tony introduces them before moving towards her parents and finally to her sister.

"Mr. Gray" Willow nods her head and Maddox nods his head back before they all settle down.

*********

"Look at their clothes" Maddox's mother hisses as she stands to her son.

"Mom" Maddox warns.

"This was a bad idea I tell you, what if they steal something?" she asks but instead he asks her to go join the guests.

"But..."

"Just go mom" Maddox asks and the woman has no other option but to join the family.

"So, I heard your father was a teacher" Ella starts and Welma nods her head.

"And what does your mother do?" she asks Welma ignoring other.

"Mom is a housewife"

"Oh" Ella nods her head.

"What about you Welma?" she asks and Welma glances at Tony who had his eyes set on his mother.

"I work in a beauty parlor" Welma states and Ella coughs a bit.

"Oh, okay, well no wonder you have a beautiful...whatever" Ella states and Welma feels her cheeks hit up in embarrassment.

"What about your sister?" the woman asks next.

"Mom" Maddox calls the woman and Ella blinks before she turns to her son.

"Drinks for the guests" the man reminds and Ella gets up more than thankful to get away from them.

********

"I don't know if you remember me or not, but we met in the elevator" Welma speaks and Maddox nods his head.

"I remember" he agrees but says nothing and his brother even if watches both of them curiously keeps quiet knowing his big brother was not interested to discuss the topic.

"So" David clears his throat as the silence stretches.

"Which subject did you teach?" Maddox starts and the man perks up.

"Mathematics" he states.

"Interesting, so Welma are you any good with numbers?" Maddox asks the girl and she blushes.

"I would not have been working in a beauty parlor if I was any good in it" she admits and Maddox eyes his brother when he pulls the girl closer to him.

"Honey, you are great at what you do. She did all of our hairs tonight, she has a very busy schedule you know, many loyal customers" her mother speaks up to defend her daughter.

"An occupation is an occupation, no matter which you are in. It's better than just eating and sleeping" Maddox taunts and Willow feels her family's eyes on hers making her stare back at them pointedly.

"Willow, loves sleeping and eating"

"Give me one name who does not?" Willow asks her sister who pokes her tongue out.

"Cute" Tony grins at Welma and Willow controls herself for giving a gag gesture.

*********

"I told you, silver" Wynter whispers a too loudly as she holds the spoon.

"White gold actually" Ella corrects the woman.

"Oh" Wynter smiles as she puts the spoon down.

"Don't feel overwhelmed by too many dishes, feel free to eat" Ella smiles at her guests.

"Mom" Tony grits through his teeth but Ella ignores him.

"So, well, as we all know that our kids..."

"Are kids, they are too young to know what is right or wrong, but we as their parents should guide them, let them know where the line should be drawn" Ella points and before anyone could react or reply few voices makes them turn to find some more guests arriving.

*********

"Oh my god, so sorry to interrupt but we could not stop ourselves when we found Tony had a new girl" the woman that walked in exclaims.

"Ladies and gents, this is our aunt, Ava and our cousin, Olivia and Charlotte" Maddox speaks before asking the women to join in.

"We heard it was just few weeks of affair before Tony asked you for marriage"

"You are not pregnant, are you?" the woman starts to fire the questions making the dinner tense and uncomfortable.

After the tensed dinner, all of them get up to walk back to the living room but Tony's cousin stops Welma on her way.

"Let us steal your woman for a while" Olivia asks Tony.

"Don't worry, Tony we just want to know her and what better way than while making desserts" the girls asks and Tony nods before leaving Welma with his cousin.

*******

"Where's Welma?" Willow asks when the dessert arrives but not her sister.

"She is a bit busy" Ella states and Willow frowns before she gets up from her seat.

"Well, I will go check her" she asks but Ella gets up.

"It's okay, I am sure she will join us soon"

"It's okay, I will join with her" Willow states as she makes her way towards the kitchen.

"Maddox, stop the girl, she cannot just walk in our kit..." Ella stops when they hear a loud shout.

*******

"What the fuck are you doing?" Willow shouts as she walks in the kitchen to find her sister washing dishes.

"Uh, Willow, why are you here?"

"Not for the same reason you are here for" Willow states as she walks towards her sister.

"Go, I will join you in a while" Welma states and Willow grabs her sister's hand pulling her away from the sink.

"Did those bitches make you do this?" Willow asks and Welma pulls her hand away from Willow.

"It's okay, I mean they made us dinner this is the least we can do" Welma states and Willow groans.

"Seriously? So just because they fed us food means we will clean the plates? We are their guests not..."

"What's going on in here?" Tony's voice makes the girls to stare at the man.

"Either you have forgotten to use your lens if not then you can clearly see what's going on here" Willow states.

"Uh, why are you in apron and with gloves?" Tony asks and Willow turns to sister as if asking did you really love this guy.

"Because your cousins made her wash it"

"No, we did not" the girls protests.

"Then this must be a dream I am living in" Willow spats.

"Well, what's wrong if she is cleaning. I mean once she marries in this family, this is the least she has to do" Ella defends her nieces.

"If this is what will happen to my sister then you can shove your son back to your vagina" Willow snaps making everyone gasps in horror.

"Uh Willow..."

"Do not willow me, son of a bitch, do you know I may get an eye attack with the amount of eye rolls I have controlled in these past few hours in this house...

First, dad did not even want to come here but because I met Tony and I thought he loved you did we agree to come meet the family who lives in this big ass house, with big ass staff to cook and clean...

Then she keeps insulting us all through the night, yeah my dad's a teacher and because of teachers like him you could graduate, yes my mom's a housewife who cooks and cleans because she loves her family so much that she sacrificed her life for them and yeah my sister is works in a beauty parlor but at least she has a lamp in her room that she earned and paid for...

And yes, I am unemployed, I love to eat and sleep but guess what, being online all day and night long I have helped celebrities earn money, watching their you tube videos, liking it, sharing it...

But at least I do not have a snobby mother, bitches at cousins" Willow snaps so hard she feels even she broke her own tongue before she glares at Tony.

"I told you, you were walking in red zone but guess what there is no zones remained for you. Who the fuck are you to make my sister wash dishes when she does not do that in our home...?

Who are you to tell us what we are worth? You know what forget all, we reject you son, as I sad shove him back to the vagina he came from because he does not have any balls to stand with the girl who loves him" grabbing Welma's hand she pulls her sister out while everyone stares at the girl in shock.

"Fucking hell, made me do anger rants, lose my cool" Willow growls as she asks her parents to follow her.

*******

"I am never going to get married" Welma cries as she buries her head on the pillow.

"This, this is why I told you no not let her do as she pleases, now look what happened?" Wynter scolds her husband as she rubs her hand through her daughter's hair.

"Well they treated us like shit"

"They had spoon made of white gold" the woman snaps and Willow walks in the room.

"Oh, so you mean, a girl should have many traits like be polite, cook, clean, etc...etc but all a guy should have is money, and that's it. It does not matter if he abuses her, mistreats her but as long as he has spoon made of white gold it's perfectly fine" Willow asks her mother.

"She would not have to work a day in her life"

"I don't, I can't even proceed the thoughts that was swirling in my head mom, literally" Willow groans as she walks out but thinks better of it so she walks back.

"So, you mean if there was a guy that was richer than dad, you would have walked out on him?" she asks and her mother gasps in horror.

"Willow" her father scolds the girl and Willow groans before she finally walks away.

"Well fuck it, fuck it, fuccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkk it" Willow screams at the top of her lungs as she walks out of her house in anger as there was so much left to say and if she did, she would not have a roof or a bed or the food.

********

Willow zips her jacket and walks around the neighborhood to clear her head, but a light shining behind her makes her stop and turn to find a car following her. She continues to walks but the car moves and starts to move beside her.

"Get in" a voice calls from behind the window and Willow frowns.

"I am not..."

"Willow get in the car" the man asks and she stops and turns to stare at the man behind the wheels to find Maddox.

"Mr. Gray?" she frowns.

"Get in the car, Willow, I will not repeat again" he states and she walks closer to his car.

"Why are you following me?" she asks him.

"I will tell you if you get in the car" he states and she shakes her head.

"You get out of the car and walk with me, seeing as you came seeking me" she points before she goes back to walking and Maddox curses before walks out of the car.

"You really are stubborn" he mumbles while she stares at him.

"Don't make assumptions. I am the easiest girl you have ever met"

"Easy?" he asks as he jogs to catch up to her.

"Not in that sense"

"So, I have a proposal for you" he starts making her step back not liking the idea of the word proposal.

"Proposal?" she asks and jumps when he goes to grab her.

"He..." Willow tries to screams but he covers her mouth with his hand before picking her up.

Willow struggles in his hold when he drags her to his car, opening the driver side of the car he shoves her inside before he gets in as well.

"Have you lost your mind, what the hell are you doing?" Willow asks as she tries to get out of the car but he grabs her hand.

Scared of his sudden change in behavior she fights him but he turns and covers her body with his to stop her movements.

"Stop" he shouts at her and she glares his way both of them breathing heavily.

"I just want you to listen while I talk" he points and she wiggles her body underneath him.

"No screams, no fights and I will let you go" he asks and she nods her head before he slowly moves himself from her.

Willow hurries to get up and sit closer to the door while she eyes him.

"Sorry about that" he rubs his face while her body starts to shake in fear.

"I just wanted you to get in my car before we start the proposal" he points but she keeps staring at him not trusting him at all.

"This was not how I imagined it will happen but, dammit" he curses as he hits on the steering wheel.

"When I said I was easy this is definitely not what I meant" she points making him sigh for his behavior.

"I don't know what got into me"

"A beast, caveman, ghost?" she gives him option and he chuckle.

"You were not getting in the car, Willow"

"Well, there is a thing called free will" she points before she sits straight when he apologizes once again and asks her to relax.

"So, what's the story?" he asks.

"Don't know which one you are asking of, but what's your story for following me and scaring the crap out of me like you were about to murder me and wait how did you even knew where I lived?" she asks.

"Unlike my stupid brother, I have tendency to keep tabs and tracks of people who just entered our lives"

"Wait, are you hinting me that you have investigated us?" she frowns.

"Not all, just you and because of a miscommunication"

"Ugh, I never knew I was interesting enough for a man to come pick me up like that"

"How many times do I have to apologize for that?" he asks and she narrows her eyes at him.

"As many times as, it takes for me to stop being scared of your insanity"

"By the way nice poses, if you want, I can make it easier for you to google it" he jokes trying to distract her.

"Wait, wait, this is so not happening with me. Are you really admitting you have a file on me?" she asks in disbelief.

"There has to be something interesting about you to have a file on you" he scoffs.

"Then"

"Three pages, just three pages"

"Wow" she stares at him in disbelief.

"What?" he asks facing her.

"So, you actually went all the way out, hired an investigator, made him follow me, look into me and actually gathered info on me, then you came all the way here decided to scare the crap out of me" she points out.

"Wow, this must be the height from where chivalry fell and died in this era. If you wanted to know about me all you had to do was ask, not carry me the way you did in middle of the night" her words makes him narrow his eyes.

"I did not pull out the data on you because I was interested in you. As I said it was just a miscommunication"

"Well damn, if my heart did not skip a beat a while ago thinking I was one from the millions whose life would match with the books she reads but anyways, if not that then why are you following me?" she asks him.

"It's about our siblings"

"What about them?"

"What happened tonight was bad, my family's behavior and also your reaction"

"Well, excuse me if..."

"Willow, let's not argue on this matter but let's see what we can do. Tony's a mess and I am sure your sister is as well"

"Yeah crying and more crying"

"I will talk to my mother"

"No thanks"

"Are you really okay with the misery your sister is going through?" he asks and she sighs.

"I just don't want to get into all of this" she confesses.

"Then you should have kept quiet and not snapped" he points and she blankly stares at his face.

"Fine, but if..."

"As long as you stay away from my mother, I think we can do this" he points and Willow nods before she pulls her hoodie up.

"If this is all then" she asks trying to get out of the car but stops when he grips her arm.

"What?" Willow asks him with narrowed eyes.

"No has ever talked with any member of my family the way you did tonight"

"Well there is always a first time for everything" she points.

"And it turned me on, immensely" he admits and Willow stares at him blankly wondering if she heard him correctly.

"Uh...what?" she asks.

"I wanted to know if you are dating anyone" he asks and she opens and closes her mouth for a second.

"I wanted to see if you really are that fiery in bed" he continues and Willow grabs the door handle and starts to move it to unlock the door.

"Willow"

"What the fuck is wrong with this night?" she shouts when he touches her shoulder making her jump.

"Relax, I did not mean to scare you"

"Relax? Relax? Feel lucky I do not have extra water in my bladder to pee in your car, who the hell talks like that? And you want me to help you marry my sister to your family?" she shouts at him.

"Just listen..."

"Heard enough to know that you and your family stay far, far away from us" she states before she starts to kick the car door and Maddox hurries to stop her before she damages his car.

The couple struggles with each other and the door opens which makes Willow falls down while Maddox lies on the car seat, grabbing the opportunity, Willow gets up and starts to run.

"Willow, wait" Maddox curses before he runs after the girl.

"What the..." Willow gasps as she tries to run faster before she falls on the ground as he catches up to her and both of them end up tussling and tumbling on the middle of the road.

"Rape" Willow screams but Maddox covers her mouth so she bites on it.

"Willow, listen" Maddox groans as he tries to hold the girl down, he ends up straddling her.

Breathing heavily, Maddox grabs both her hands on her side and stares at her face before he starts.

"You are getting it all wrong"

"Yeah, asking me to sleep with you is wrong" she shouts and he closes his eyes as he moves his face closer to her.

"I will not force myself on a woman, it would have been mutual between us" he puts it out.

"You really are insane, who would willingly sleep with you?" she asks.

"It will not just be mutual but exclusive as well, I will look after your expenses"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. I am not interested"

"You have not even thought about it"

"Well, getting pinned in the middle of road and hearing all this, does a girl really have to think?" she asks him.

"I am really good in bed" he sighs and she wiggles under him.

"I don't care"

"And I will take good care of you, jewelries, branded clothes, exotic vacations"

"Desperate much" she asks him.

"Very" he whispers in her ear being biting it and she stays still.

"One night and then you can decide if you want more or not" he whispers before slowly movies his lips from her ears to the side of her face and before Willow could do anything, he kisses her on her lips.

Having enough sense, she bites on his lips hard making him pull back with a hiss.

"If that is not the definition of forcing then I have no idea what is" she glares at the man.

Maddox chuckles as he touches his lip and feels the bleed, wiping the blood he stares at his finger and then glance back at her.

"I cannot wait to have more of these kind of kisses with you" Maddox grins as he smudges the blood on her lips and she gags.

Letting her go he gets up from her while she rolls and gets up as well.

"Come on, I will drop you off" he smiles and Willow stares at him as if he has lost his mind.

"We have dropped on each other more than enough for the night, crazy, crazy asshole" she points as she steps back away from him before she starts to run.

"Follow me and I will sue your crazy ass" she shouts while he just laughs and stares at her.

********

The next morning, a knock on the door makes everyone pause before David goes to open the door to find Tony along with his mother on their doorsteps.

"Please before you slam the door in our faces, I came to apologize for what happened last night, I over stepped and so, so, sorry" Ella apologizes and David sighs before asking them to walk in.

"Tony" Welma gasps before she runs in his arms and starts crying.

"Look at them, so much love. I really am sorry for what happened, so please forgive me and don't punish these two love birds for my sins" Ella states and both Tony and Welma stares at David and Wynter while Willow just slides away from the dramatic reunion scene before she pisses her pants trying to control her laughter.

"Willow" Ella calls making Willow curse.

"Hi"

"What you said last night have really opened my eyes" Ella states before she walks to where Willow was and hugs the girl.

"You really spoke words that pierced my hearts, so thank you" Ella smiles before she whispers in Willow's ear.

"Thanks for giving me an excitement I have forgotten long ago" the woman whispers in Willow's ears making Willow stand still.

"Who am I to come between these two love birds, so please accept my son as yours and let's prepare for the marriage" Ella states turning to face Willow's family.

"Uh..." David hesitates before he stares at his crying daughter and wife.

"If the kids are..."

"Oh daddy, I love you" Welma cries running into her father's arms.

"Can I too?" Tony asks as he stands in front of David before they hug.

"You messed with the wrong family, dear Willow. This marriage will happen, your sister will marry my son but I will rule her rule from here on" Ella promises as she grips Willow's shoulders tightly pretending to hug her.

"Oh Willow, such, a good little girl" Ella sighs while Willow curses.

*******

Willow laughs a fake laugh sitting around the lounge with Tony's family members. She has tried to get up and out of the place one too many times but the women keep calling or grabbing her back. So, for the past two hours she was having the torturous time of her life only because she opened her mouth when she should have just helped her sister clean the dishes and ran away.

"Let me go" a girl's cry makes Willow turn around before she finds few kids ganging up on a little girl so getting up, she makes her way to the group.

"Yo, fuck off" she shouts at the kids before they all scatter away like little ants and she too tries to walk away but the little girl grabs her finger and stares up at her.

"Thank you" the girl smiles making Willow smile.

"You know, this, this politeness fucks you up in life little girl" Willow sighs and the girl wipes her tears before she starts to follow Willow.

"Uh, are you lost?" she asks the girl who shakes her head no before she grabs Willow's pant.

"Okay, well, now go away" she asks but the girl just smiles and follows her.

"Dixon" someone calls for the girl and she turns seeing her chance Willow runs away as well.

*******

"Dad, can I not come and join at the wedding?" Willow asks as she finds her father in the big farm house they all have gathered and would stay until the wedding which is two weeks away.

"No, your mother will kill me. She is still mad at what you said that night"

"But I don't like this"

"Same baby girl, I don't like this as well" he man sighs before they turn as they hear few horns and her father shouts in excitement when her brother and uncles, aunts arrive.

"Oh great, more humans" Willow sighs letting her dad go while she makes her way to greet her brother and family.

"Middle child" her brother calls as he gives her a bear hug.

"All your fault, for winning the race" she teases making him laugh.

"You good?" he asks and she frowns.

"Why would I not be?" she asks him.

"Just, seeing how Welma is all swept up first"

"I will let her sweep the floor, so it can stay clean" she grins and he ruffles her hair.

"I cannot stay for too long" her brother states and she narrow her eyes.

"What? Why?"

"Two weeks party, who does that? I could hardly pull this holiday"

"But..."

"I already talked with mom, dad and I am sure Welma will understand"

"But this is probably the only wedding our family have" she states and he laughs.

"Talk about yourself, middle, I am definitely getting married" he states and she sighs.

"I will miss you though"

"No, you won't, now let me go so I can meet everyone and be on my way"

"You are not even staying a night"

"Willow, this job is important, I just joined last month could not skip"

"Is it more important than your family?" she asks him and he sighs.

"Sometimes it is" he points making her nod before she greets her relatives.

"Willow, my girl come help us" one of her uncle shouts asking for her help.

"Sorry uncle, cannot, I am on my periods and these cramps...oh" she shouts back making the men cringe and the women wince as she steps away from them.

"She always has her periods when we arrive" the man mutters while Willow watches them from far away.

"You should take a hot water bath" Ella's voice makes Willow jump.

"Stop sneaking" she scolds the woman who smiles sweetly at her.

"Tonight, it's your sister's engagement party, all of our family are here, we don't want any accident to happen now do we?" the woman threatens and Willow sighs.

"Are you really still onto this? The whole revenge thing? Really? Just because I was honest with my thoughts" she asks.

"You insulted me in front of my family!"

"So, what do you want me to do? Because really, I am so damn not up to all these dramas and acts. I am so tired I can sleep standing so please do tell me what I should do you mend things between us...

You did not have to do all these expenditures just to prove a point" Willow points.

"I will make your life hell"

"I don't even have energy to even listen to your threats. Why don't you just humiliate me in front of everyone and be done with? You want to rule my sister's life, by all means go ahead because she will be part of your family, her downfall is your family's downfall as well, spare me with details" Willow asks and the woman blinks startled at the girl's behavior.

"Do you really not care what happens to your sister?"

"I do, I really do but I am not one of those who will jump in to save the day. But I also know how to protect myself so you see, I have just recorded all of our talks...

The threats you made to me and of course, we both don't want your sons or anyone listening to it"

"You little..."

"Uh-uh, it's better if you keep quiet. Both of our families are here, so instead of planning to ruin this why don't you just get to know my sister and play the role of the mother we all want" she asks the woman who glares at the girl.

"And one more thing, now that you think me as your nemesis just know some of us are alive not to shine but to clap, think of me as a bush it makes no sense but still you people cut the bushes and give it shapes still it makes no sense, that is what I am....

An audience, a bush, a vase" she points before she walks away and Ella stares at the girl in shock.

********

"Dad, I found her" the little boy states as he runs to his father's side.

"Daddy" Dixon squeals as she jumps in her father's arm.

"Hey, my little princess. What's this, were you crying?" Maddox asks as he touches his daughter's wet cheeks.

"They were pulling my hair and then a lady saved me" she smiles and Maddox stares at his son who wraps his arms around his leg.

"Dad, when are we going back home?" the boy asks.

"We will be staying here, Dax"

"But it's too crowdy" the boy groans.

"So, stay beside your sister"

"Can we stay with you?" the boy asks and Maddox sighs.

"Of course,"

"Daddy, lets have a tea party" Dixon asks her father.

"Daddy is little busy baby girl, why don't you go play house with your big brother?" he asks and Dixon shakes her head.

"Dax, eats the cookies first" she complains making him laugh.

"Then we will bring extra cookies. Dax" Maddox calls as he lets his daughter down before Dax grabs his sister's hand and walks to the house.

********

Willow grins as she walks to the dinning room to find it empty, she hurries to grab the plate and starts to serve herself the food being ready for the guests and starts to eat before anyone arrives.

"Only two things bring happiness in life, one peeing on time and two having a full belly" Willow grins as she grabs the empty plates.

"I know a third thing connected to pussy and belly that brings immense happiness" Maddox whispers from behind Willow who drops the plate startled and turn to find him standing behind her.

"Mr...Mr. Gray" she squeaks.

"Well if you are into bondage, by all means call me by that" he dares and she clears her throat before she turns and grabs her plate.

"What are you doing here?" she asks trying not to let her head go back to the night they tussled on the road.

"I should be asking you that, why are you eating so early?" he asks.

"Because I was hungry" she points.

"Come on, we have to do a rehearsal"

"Rehearsal? For what?" she asks as he grabs her arm pulling her along with him.

"As their elder brother and sister, we will have to do a speech"

"Hell to the no, I am not" she refuses.

"Fine, then sit and listen to mine"

"Why?" she whines.

"So, you can tell me if it's too sappy or not"

"Ugh, no, I am tired, my bed is calling me"

"Willow" he calls in a serious tone and she takes a deep breath before asking him to continue.

********

"Hi" Dixon calls as she stands next to Willow who frowns as she stares at the girl before looking around to check on the girl's parents.

"Little girl, shoo" Willow tries to push the girl away but she grips onto Willow's skirt before she climbs and sits on Willow's lap.

"The fuck are you doing?" Willow asks the girl who just bends and grabs the cake in front of Willow.

"Your little...."

"Willow, my big sister shall me my maid-of-honor" her name and those words stops Willow to complete her own and Willow groans as she tries to snuck under the table but cannot with the baby on her lap.

"Willow, come on up" Welma calls and Willow curses her luck as she gets up and the girl wraps her arms around Willow.

"I need to go, let go" Willow asks the girl but she shakes her head no clutching onto Willow's neck.

"I swear I will drop you" she warns but the girl just giggles.

"Aww, my big sister looks so cute with a baby in her arms" Welma speaks through the microphone and Willow has no other choice but to walk along with the kid.

"My sister, Willow, she is single and more than ready to mingle" Welma giggles and Willow eyes her sister wishing she had locked her door that day when Welma barged in.

"She is going to share something with you all" Welma states as she hands Willow the mike.

"Do not share any embarrassing moments of mine" Welma warns before she hurries to her seat and the spotlight is on Willow.

"Daddy" Dixon calls through the mike and Willow pulls it away from the girl's hand.

*********

"Hi, well I really have not put my name on the, I am sure long list of girls who wants to be maid-of-honor. I will be honored to give this place to anyone who wants it...

Anyone? Maid-of-honor? No one interested? I mean, you do get the chance to get laid with the best man" she jokes but no one laughs.

"Maddox is the best man and he is married" someone from the crowd shouts.

"He is married?" she asks in surprise,

"Of course, the oldest always are supposed to be get married first but lucky me, I can drink the whole bottle of wine all alone and I don't even have to chant the words sharing is caring when I want to eat a whole chocolate bar all alone" she grins.

"Daddy" Dixon shouts through the mike once again.

"Whoever her daddy is please come get her, she is running my speech" Willow asks.

"Let me" Maddox walks and grabs his daughter.

"Daddy" the girl grins.

"You have a daughter?" Willow asks and he nods.

"And a son" he adds and Willow stares at him in disbelief.

"And only women have to look like they look after the pregnancy while men can look and walk like this?" she shouts at him.

"Willow" Maddox calls as he looks around smiling politely.

"And here I was joking about getting laid by the best man, phew, see lucky. No wonder no one wants to be maid-of-honor" she grumbles through the mike and Maddox takes it away from her hand.

"Okay, I think we have had enough of our maid-of-honor to be, so mom, well the stage is all yours" Maddox states as he pushes Willow away from the stage.

********
"I do not want to be your maid-of-honor" Willow states as soon as she stands in front of her sister.

"But..." Welma eyes her sister.

"Enjoy the dinner" Maddox asks to the couple as he drags Willow away from the table.

"Where are you taking me?" Willow asks the man who stops to pass his daughter to someone before he keeps on pulling her out of the room.

"Let go of me" Willow demands struggling in his hold but he keeps dragging her until they reach a room.

Pushing her in Maddox walks in before he closes the door and locks it. Turning around he faces her and Willow narrows her eyes at the man.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asks wanting to go out but he grabs her arms and pushes her in.

"Maddox, let go of me" she demands trying to get out of there.

"Maddox, what the hell?" she narrows her eyes but the man keeps pushing her back before she stumbles and lands on the bed.

"What's wrong with you?" she asks him when he keeps on walking close to her.

"Just checking how much traumatized are you" he states and she stares at him in confusion.

"Traumatized?" she asks before she lays on the bed when he does not stop moving close to her.

"What are you talking about?"

"A girl who has such a fiery spirit, who does not give a fuck what other thinks, and curses like she owns the curse, how can she just be someone who just eats and sleeps"

"Step away from me" she asks when he bends his knees on the bed, either side of her body.

"Something must have happened to her for her to cut the whole world"

"Maddox"

"Who does not fear walking in empty street, who does not get scared by some guy following her in his car. So, I had to see, how deep you are lost before I jump in to be with you" he states and her eyes widens as realization dawns on her.

"You think I stay in my house because I was traumatized or abused?" she asks him in disbelief.

"You were not?" he asks surprised.

"Does getting molested while I was not even a teen counts?" she asks and he narrows his eyes not liking that thought as he has a daughter who is not a teen.

"Or the time where I was groped in bus or train? Catcalls counts in?" she asks and Maddox curses as he gets off her.

"And what you were doing just now, does that can be counted as well?" she asks and he runs his hands through his hair.

"I...."

"Just thought you could be a savior to me, jeez can a girl not just want to eat and sleep is it too much to ask?"

"Don't you have any wants or dream?" he asks and she thinks on it.

"Yes, I want to go to a Taylor swift concert. I want to have a boyfriend, but he should be there only when I feel the need, because being single rocks until and unless I see these couple pic in Instagram and then I want a boyfriend to play these little cute games which are staged still....

And I definitely want a boyfriend when I have to walk all the way to the shop and buy it and yes, on times when someone asks why I am single and they do not understand the power of staying single"

"A daughter every father dream of" Maddox mutters.

"What?" she asks and he shakes his head.

"Will it be weird if I say I want to get in your pants?" he asks and she glares at him.

"Maddox Gray, you are married and have two kids"

"So?" he shrugs his shoulders and she gasp in horror.

"No matter how much I love the song illicit affair I am not having one with you" she snaps.

"What?" he frowns this time.

"One moral, never ever, ever sleep with a married man, you lose your worth in your own eyes" she points and he sighs before he sits besides her on the bed.

"It has been years" he confesses and Willow gets out of the bed.

"I don't care if you got reborn as a virgin the trust remains the same, you are a married man with two kids"

"Not even a kiss?" he teases and Willow steps away from him.

"You don't even deserve a flying kiss" she hisses while he chuckles.

"Don't do anything to ruin the wedding" he calls as he lies on the bed while she storms to open the door.

"It is bound to be ruined with your mother playing the role of evil mother and you as a molester brother" she snaps before opening and slamming the door.

*******

"One two, cha-cha-cha" the instructor instructs the dance and Willow narrows her eyes at her dance partner.

"I would like so high heels" she demands making Maddox grins as he walks up to her and wraps his arms around her waist.

"You can step on my toes and dance if you want to feel tall" he teases and she growls.

"Sexy" he breathes and she turns her face away from him.

"When are you going to try the bridesmaid's dress?" he asks her.

"After the wedding" she replies making him frown.

"Why?"

"Because before the wedding day I will be fat enough to not fit in that dress" her replies make him laugh.

"How do you come up with all these comebacks?" he asks and she turns to face him.

"Years and years of reading books, dealing with so many characters, going through their feelings one is bound to have benefit from it"

"What's your favorite book?"

"The one with a good breakup scene, which makes me want a boyfriend, break up with him and screams all the dialogues that the characters shares between"

"Then I guess I like a book with a good patch up scene, make up sex is the best" he grins and she narrows her eyes.

"Is a man's penis really that big as they describe in the books?" she asks loudly and the music stops.

"Willow" her sister gasps horrified.

"Continue" she orders ignoring everyone.

"Depends" Maddox replies.

"On?" she asks.

"How many you have seen to compare it with" he states and she stays quiet for a while.

"I forgot the count" she replies making him chuckle closer to her ear.

"I am not asking about the ones you saw in porn and read about in your books my little Willow"

"I am not a virgin" she snaps.

"Willow, god I cannot take you anywhere" Welma scolds her sister in anger as the music once again stops.

"This is stupid anyways" Willow snaps as she pushes Maddox away from her.

"If you focus on dance then you will realize this is not stupid"

"Why, why do you have to make everyone go through all this just so you can create more people like us?" she asks her sister who stands still horrified at what was coming out of her sister's mouth.

"Sorry, not one of my days on going" Willow apologizes as she turns and grabs her jacket before she storms out.

********

Willow stares at the scenery in front before she feels someone tugging her leg so she stares at the little hand wanting her attention.

"He" Dixon smiles as she gets Willow's attention.

"Half the time your father irritates me and other half you, his daughter" Willow mutters.

"Cookie" the girl hands Willow a cookie.

"Well at least you are useful"

"Will you be my new mommy?" the girl asks making Willow frown.

"No, but your dad sure wants me to be his slut" she tells the girl.

"What's a slut?" the girl asks and Willow groans as she realizes what she just said.

"Oh fuck" Willow curses as she grabs the kid and hands her over to someone before she runs away from them.

********

"Willow, where are you running to?" David calls his daughter and Willow makes her way to her dad.

"I don't think I can survive Welma's wedding, dad" she confesses as she meets him.

"None of us can if we had to feed all these people for two whole weeks"

"I think now I understand why couples used to run off with their partner" she points making David laugh.

"Yeah, no need to feed these people you will never see again after the wedding" he jokes.

"Where is mom?" she asks and David shrugs his shoulders.

"I will know when she comes back to the bed, tonight. Talking all about the wedding preparation, I will let you know where she is now, tomorrow morning" the man grins and Willow giggles.

"Not funny dad"

"Then why are you showing your teeth?" he grins.

"Because I brushed it today" she points before the duo laughs aloud.

********

"Whatever it is, the food here is top notch" David states.

"Yeah, have you tried the lamb?" Willow asks as she puts one on her plate.

"How is your dance on going?" her father asks making her groan.

"Bad, very bad"

"Your speech at the engagement party, hilarious"

"Only you think so, mom must have tried hard not to faint"

"And your aunts"

"How many are betting on me getting sweep off"

"Just me" he grins and she raises her brow.

"It's a big ass wedding, baby girl. A father can hope" he winks and she laughs.

"Are you indirectly asking me to move out of the house? You are kicking me out?" she asks her father grins.

"I have been wanting to make one of your girl's room a game room"

"Dad" she gasps in betrayal.

"But I will understand if that does not happen"

"Betrayed by my own blood" she shakes her head before walking away from her father who calls her but she ignores it.

*********

"Dax" Dixon squeals running towards her brother and hugging him.

"The lunch is ready" Dax smiles at his sister.

"Yes. I want cake" she asks and Dax nods before they walk to where their father was.

"There you go" Maddox smiles as he puts two plates on the table and helps his kids to sit on it.

"Yum, yum" Dixon claps her hands as Maddox steps behind her to tie he wild curly hair.

"Water or juice?" he asks his son who points at the bottle of juice.

"What did you two do today?" Maddox asks as he sits between his kids.

"Grandma made me taste cakes"

"Cakes?" Dixon ears perks up.

"It was not good, I ran away from there," the boy confesses.

"Grandma got me a new dress daddy, you have to see it" the girl asks and Maddox nods before he cuts her meat in small pieces.

"Uncle Tony's wedding is so long, I am bored, dad" the boy complains.

"But I am not bored daddy" the girl hurries to point out.

"That's because you get to play tea time all the time" Dax points and Dixon smiles brightly at her father.

"Daddy, I saw mommy today" the girl states and Maddox frowns while Dax stares at his sister.

"Mom?" the boy asks and the girl nods her head as she looks around before she gets down from her seat.

"Look daddy, I found mommy" the girl screams as she runs and wraps her arms around Willow's legs who stands still shocked.

"She is my new mommy and daddy's slut" the girl squeals as she smiles at Willow.

"Oh fuck" Willow gasps at what she had done.

"Yes, that too, that too, a fuck, a fuck" the girl happily claps her hands and starts to jump up and down while everyone stares at her.

********

"A married man, you have been sleeping around with a married man?"

"We should have known when he dragged her out of the room at the party" Willow's mom and aunts starts scolding her.

"Jeez, you guys, it's nothing like that"

"Well it's okay if it is, I mean the man is good looking and anyone can slip away" her aunt smiles and Willow stares at the ceiling before she screams a loud making the women jumps and scatter away from her.

All of them stare at her in shock as if she had gone insane and taking advantage of it Willow walks out of the group only to come face to face with Maddox.

"Not a word" she warns him as she tries to walk past him.

"Did you say all those things to her?" he demands and Willow sighs.

"I don't want to talk..."

"Why did you say those things to her?" he asks and she groans before she grabs his hand and walks away as her family glances their way.

Walking out and away from curious eyes Willow turns to face Maddox.

"She was the one who thought me as her new mommy and the way you have been behaving lately, I was irritated and told her the word slut and she picked it up" she sighs apologetically.

"Did I made you feel like I wanted you as my slut?" he asks and she glances at him.

"Well, you are married with two kids and you are talking all these stuff to me, so duh...yeah, what would I tag myself as?

Your mistress, concubine, the another woman?" she asks him and Maddox rubs his face before running his hand through his hair.

"When I said it has been years, I did not mean as just sex but this, this flirting and..."

"Wait, wait, you have been flirting with me?" she asks and he stares at her blankly.

"Books really do not prepare you for reality" she mutters.

"You need to go be with my daughter" he sighs and she frowns.

"Why would I do that?" she asks.

"Because she thinks she did something bad and is scared"

"You do realize I am not her mother even if she wants me as her new mommy"

"Her mother is dead" he announces and takes a step back in shock.

"But...but they said you are..."

"Married yes, because I have not shown any interest or given them any inkling that I want someone else to replace my wife, who has been dead for the past four years"

"Accident?" she asks feeling sorry for him.

"Child birth, Dixon was healthy but she could not make it"

"Oh"

"Yeah" he nods and Willow glances at him awkwardly.

"You do know, even if your story is really sad, I am not a mother material, right? I mean kids are cool, but if they are other's kids and only if you get to play with them for few minutes after that you get bored and cramped"

"I am not asking you to be the mother of my children, Willow" he sighs.

"Oh, okay cool"

"But it will be nice if you talked to Dixon, and calm her, she thinks she has hurt you" he sighs and she nods her head in understanding.

"Okay, I will go check on her" she agrees before she goes to walk past him.

"But about being my slut, I think I want that" he tells her and she pushes him away.

"Molester" she shakes her head walking away while his laugh echoes.

********

"You got to be kidding me" Willow groans as both Maddox's kids comes to join her at the table with their plates.

"Willow, would you like to play tea time with me?" the girl asks and Willow stares at both the kids staring at her hopeful.

"Will it be too much if I asked you both to..."

"I will have to spank you if you finish that words in front of my kids" Maddox warns her and she glares at the father of the two hooligans.

"Daddy wants to spank you" Dixon giggles and Willow cringes before she shakes her head and glances around as Maddox puts his kids on the chair.

"I did not sign up for this"

"I will ask my assistant to draw up a contract then" he replies.

"We are so not doing this" she points.

"Go, leave the table then" he dares and she narrows her eyes folding her arms.

"I was here first" she points.

"Finish your breakfast" Maddox asks his kids before he turns to face Willow.

"This is just a normal breakfast"

"I have read enough books to know, you are making us all get used to. I am not mothering anyone or getting involved with you" she points.

"Then don't" he states shrugging his shoulders and she narrows her eyes at his play.

********

"Maddox, your package is perfect, already automatic made family but you are knocking on the doorsteps" Willow states as she gets up from the chair.

"Don't leave" Dixon asks Willow as the girl stares at Willow with her wide innocent eyes.

"Dixon, little girl, I am not one of your dolls you can point out to your dad and demand he gets it for you" Willow states to the girl before she leaves the table.

"She is nice, she saved me from those bad kids" Dixon pouts to her father who smiles before asking her to focus on the food.

Finding the perfect spot, Willow drags the pillow and blanket before she takes her phone out and starts to read the books she had not gotten around to finish. After few moments she puts her phone down and controls the urge to throw the phone as she was so into the story and now the main characters were doing nothing but irritate her.

Pacing around she glares at her phone as anger fills her in.

"Okay, I get it you both had a bad experience with the past, but what the fuck? I would have accepted it if you two could not give in the passion, fine...okay, fine...but I mean....like what the hell...

You made her pregnant, okay cool and then you made some other girl pregnant and now the first girl is running away and you are running behind her and some other girl is running behind you...oh my god, what the mess!" Willow screams.

"Are you okay?" a voice startles Willow making her scream and turn to stare at the boy staring at her.

"Why are you talking alone?" Dax asks her as makes his way towards her.

"To myself" she frowns as she watches the boy happily jump on the bed she made with a sigh.

"You are weird" he states before he lies down in a comfortable position.

"What are you doing?" she asks the boy who has taken her made bed.

"I am hiding from my grandma; she is taking all of us to the tailor" he explains and Willow even if she should feel weird, she does not when she walks to where the boy was before lying next to him.

"What's your name?" Willow asks him.

"Dax" the boy smiles as he stares at her and she does the same before they both close their eyes in fall asleep.

********

"Wh...what?" Willow groans as she feels someone shaking her, opening her eyes she finds Tony.

"Let's get you out of here" Tony's voice pulls her completely out of the sleep.

"What is going on?" she asks him.

"You fell asleep with Dax; we have been searching for both of you for hours end"

"Dax?" she frowns before looking beside her to find the spot empty.

"Don't worry, Maddox got him"

"Maddox?" she asks again before looking ahead to find no one.

"Yeah, he called me and asked to get you out of here" Tony points which makes her frown.

"So, you mean, he came and grabbed his son but asked you to come wake me up?" she asks making Tony grin.

"Something like that" he nods and she feels disappointed before getting up.

"You missed the lunch"

"My stomach can fill it" she yawns before she grabs the pillow.

"You do realize you are missing many fun" he points following her and she sighs.

"As you can see, I regret not being part of the dances I cannot practice, the cake I cannot taste and..."

"Okay, okay, but it will make Welma happy if you participate you know"

"Her happiness comes with you" Willow points a dialogue she just remembered from one of the books she read and Tony brightens up like a light bulb.

"She brings me happiness as well"

"Cool, now you can leave" Willow asks making the man frown.

"You are her sister, show some interest in the wedding please" he asks and Willow sighs.

"I will not be sad if someone else if the maid-of-honor, I promise" she bargains with him.

"Is it because you cannot bang the best man? I mean I can introduce you with some of my friends" he asks and she groans.

"I am not that desperate to want a guy much, much, younger than me!" she snaps at him.

"Uh, you are just two years older than you" he points making her frown.

"So? I need a mature man, who can handle my immaturity. I cannot be a mom to a guy I date" she points making him frown.

"Okay, okay, well suit yourself" he raises his hands in defense as he leaves her alone.

"The audacity of the man! How dare he think I want a boy like him!" Willow grumbles before she stops and giggles.

"He should be mature, strong, virile and good is bed, understand me, make me feel I am the one, those are the traits only found in my books, so hashtag single forever" she laughs before stopping as she finds someone standing at the doorway staring her way.

********

Willow drops the pillow on the floor as Maddox walks in the room, without a word he makes his way towards her.

"What are you doing?" she asks him but he speaks nothing as he wraps his arms around her pulling her closer to him.

"Uh, Mad?" she asks with a frown when he grabs her hand and holds it in his palm.

"Missed our lesson" he murmurs in her ear before he starts to dance with her without any music.

"Are you bipolar?" Willow asks the man.

"Why?"

"One moment you are this gentleman and then another you are not one"

"Which one do you prefer?" he chuckles.

"None, I prefer none"

"Hmm, I prefer to not be a gentleman"

"You have a daughter, Maddox, so how come you are like this?" she asks and he stops moving.

"Just because I have a daughter does not mean I don't want things to be in a certain way"

"So, you doing this to me is fine?" she questions.

"It will be if you agreed to it"

"But I have said no"

"You have not even tried"

"Just as there are seven thousand and five hundred varieties of apples in the world, it does not mean I have to try each of them"

"That makes no sense" he smiles as he touches the side of her face.

"Makes totally to me, which means I do not have to try what you are asking me to"

"You don't mind when I touch you though"

"Because I am dead inside, I feel nothing" she deadpans making him laugh.

"I can make you feel things" he asks as he holds her hands and kisses on the back of it.

"Say yes and you don't have to sleep alone, tonight"

"I never sleep at night"

"I can help you sleep"

"You are disgusting"

"We can do that too" he hums and Willow groans.

"What exactly do you even see in me?" she demands as she steps away from him but he grips the hold of her hand pulling her back to him.

"It's not about what I see, it's all about what I want to see, what you have hidden behind these" he whispers as he touches her cloth.

"I do not go for men that already have mini him running"

"I am not asking you to marry me and you are not getting any younger, live a little, Willow. Every fantasy of yours that you read in your books, I will make them come alive, just give me one chance" he pleads as he stares in her eyes.

"You want me to have an affair with you on my sister's wedding?" she asks and he nods his head like an innocent little pup.

"On one condition" she states and his eyes perks up.

"Anything" he promises.

"Anything?" she asks with a sweet smile.

"Just name it and its yours" he nods while she pulls her hands out and cups his face.

"Mad" she whispers his name before pulling his face closer to her and blowing air on his lips as he gulps.

"Willow" he sighs.

"Oh Mad, just once"

"Yeah"

"Just this once"

"Umm-hmm" he stares at her lips.

"Let me"

"Go on"

"Just"

"Come on" he breathes heavily.

"Kick you on the balls, like my books" she snaps as she raises her knees but instead of hitting on his balls she hits on his thighs.

"Fuck" Maddox curses as he pushes her away.

"Damn, I missed it" she laughs while he rubs his thigh and glares her way.

"What the hell, Willow" he shouts and she sighs.

"You promised me anything and whatever my fantasies were from my books"

"Who the fuck kind of have this kind of fantasy?" he asks.

"Me, me. This fuck has this kind of fantasy" she grins before bending to grab the pillow but she finds herself being left off instead.

"What are you doing?" Willow asks in panic as she grabs the back of his shirt.

"Going to learn about your other fantasies" he swats on her behind she puts her hand back to hide it.

"Put me down, Maddox" she demands but he just swats her once again.

"Oh my god, stop that" she shouts before hitting on his behind and they start the match.

"Stop that" Maddox asks as he stops walking when she hits his behind in revenge.

"You stop it" she asks but he hits her again while she returns the favor.

********

"What's wrong?" Welma asks as Willow hisses while sitting down.

"Nothing" she grumbles trying to find a better position to seat.

"Brother" Tony shouts for his brother before waving at him to join them.

"Come join us" Tony asks but Maddox politely refuses it.

"But the chairs are almost full and the kids are already in bed, so come on" Tony asks and Maddox just clears his throat.

"You all enjoy the food, I will just"

"Oh, come on" Tony groans as he gets up and pushes his brother on the chair which brings a hiss from Maddox's mouth.

Willow jerks her head up and narrows her eyes at Maddox as she hears the hiss.

"What's wrong?" she asks him.

"You tell me" Maddox challenges her as both of them had red bottom from the match they played earlier.

"Is something going on between you two?" Welma asks the couple and both of the deny it.

"Of course," Tony grins as he wraps his arm around his fiancé with a big grin.

*******

Willow walks back to her room after she escaped the on going ceremony of her sister, she never knew why social gathering never appealed her, but guess not all are born that way. Licking the spoon, she enjoys her ice-cream while she walks towards the garden.

Sitting on the edge she quietly eats her ice-cream until a hand hots and grabs her wrist, staring up she finds Maddox standing beside her, before she could say anything, he picks her hand and eats the spoonful of ice-cream.

"Get your own" she narrows her eyes at him.

"Go get me one" he orders as he walks to sit beside her and she narrows her eyes at him.

"Not you servant" she growls before she turns her back to him and hurries to eat it all.

Maddox reaches his hand to grab the bowl but she bites on his hand making him pull away as she laughs but before she could recover, he bites her hand back.

Then starts the war.

With a loud screech she jumps to grab him as she bites whichever part of his body she finds while he grabs her waist turning her around as he bites her ear and she returns the favor.

Maddox enjoys as he bites the side of her neck next and waits for her to do same, while he pulls his jacket off to help her each the side of his neck easily. Maddox licks the place behind her ear and Willow moves her neck giving him easy access as she focuses on biting his jaw.

The game that start in anger turns into passion and before she knows Willow lips moves towards Maddox's.

********

"Oh my God" Welma shrieks as she sees the marks around Willow while they try the dresses.

"Are those hickeys?" her sister asks and Willow rolls her eyes as she pulls her t-shirt, covering her neck and chest area.

"No, it's mosquito's bites" she grumbles.

"Well he definitely had a big teeth, human teeth" her mother grins and Willow takes a deep breath as she passes the dress to her mom

"Whatever, I was in garden last night when that mosquito attacked me"

"Aww, do you want me to ask your father to buy you some cream for that mosquito. What if he follows you?" her mother teases and Willow grabs the scarf she had used and pulls it around her neck.

"I can handle him"

"I am sure you can honey; we all have to" her mother smiles and Willow ignores them as she asks them to finish their shopping.

********

"What's that?" Tony gasps as he pulls Willow's scarf off her body and she glares at the boy-man.

"That's bad manner" she hisses to Tony who tilts his head as he stares at her neck.

"I think I saw similar marks on my big brother" he points out in front of everyone and Willow stands still while he father coughs.

"Must be the same mosquito that bit our Willow" her mother giggles.

"What mosquito?" David asks but his wife pulls him away.

"Just a mosquito you know like bees" the woman laughs while Willow groans as she wraps the scarf tightly around her neck and push past Tony.

"We should disinfect the place if there are that big mosquito" Tony states before Welma wraps her arms around him.

"Let the mosquito live, baby" Welma smiles walking with her man.

********

"Here" Dax sighs as he hands Willow the ice pack and the boy shakes his hand as it burn with cold.

"Thanks kiddo" Willow mumbles as she puts the ice on her neck.

"Was the mosquito that big?" the boy asks her and she glances his way.

"Very"

"Next time, don't go to the garden at night" he advices as she sits beside her and thanks his sister who passes him the cup of tea.

"Drink this, my tea will protect you from the big mosquito" the girl smiles as she hands Willow the cup.

"How?" Willow asks as she stares at the cup.

"It has magic in it" the girl states.

"Really?" Willow frowns.

"Yes, magic of my cuteness" the girl cups her cheeks and blinks cutely.

"Right" Willow scoffs as she sits with her legs folded and checks the sweets the kids had.

"Where do you get all these from?" Willow asks as she plays with the kids.

"Magic"

"Let me guess, your cuteness" Willow asks and the girl laughs.

"No silly, it's the magic of my sweetness" she exclaims and Willow quietly sips her tea.

"Rich kids" she murmurs to her as she watches Dax thanks his sister every time, she passes him something.

"Rich politeness"

*********

"And they lived happily, ever after" Willow finishes the story as she puts her phone down before she turns to face the kids to find Dixon asleep on the blanket.

"I watched the anime you told about" Dax starts making Willow turns and lay side ways staring at the boy.

"You liked it?" she asks and he nods his head.

"It was so awesome"

"So, who do you like"

"Sasuke, duh" he grins making her grin.

"I know he is cool"

"Yeah and so powerful"

"Did you learn anything from it?" she asks him and he nods his head as they talk about the anime.

"Thanks, I will ask dad to get me a drawing book of Naruto" the boy states as he holds his sister's hand before both of them wave their hands saying their goodbye's as they nanny calls for them.

Willow watches the kids make their way to the woman before Willow takes a deep breath. After knowing those two have lost their mom she had tried to be extra good towards them and now it seems her goodness had made them want her attention and time, so every afternoon they meet and play tea party.

*******

"So, Sasuke is cool eh?" Maddox asks as he stands beside Willow while stuffing the food in his plate.

"Oh god" Willow groans as she moves away from him and starts to fill her plate fast.

"Wait" he calls but she does not, ignoring him.

Looking around the table to find a chair to sit, Willow ends up sitting beside her aunts.

"Willow" the women exclaims in surprise.

"Hello" she grumbles as she focuses on her food.

"I heard you were attacked by mosquitoes"

"Yeah, big one, don't go to garden at night" she states and the women glances at each other.

"Did he do anything else beside biting you?" another woman asks and Willow groans as she puts her spoon down.

"Yeah, I asked him if he was male or female and we sat and talked to each other for hour longs on the politics going on in their clan...

Did you know only female mosquitoes suck blood and actually to get pregnant and there are vegetarian mosquitoes who actually sucks grass?" she asks the table and the women stares at her in silence.

"I am sure that the mosquito definitely did not share it with you"

"Actually no, but do you know that when a mosquito has sex it can..." she stops as at once all of the women gets up from the table and leaves her alone.

"Thought so" Willow laughs as she once again focuses on her food, and all the while Maddox stands watching her with a grin.

********

"Don't you think this dress is a little bit conservative?" Willow asks as she turns around to check her out.

"Don't be ridiculous, Willow, it looks lovely. I mean the cuts are just fine" her mother points.

"No mom, really I think this dress is conservative, I mean the side boob game is strong and the cleavage is cool but totally hiding my nipples and look at the side slit, totally hiding my privates, I mean what's the point?" she points and her mother glares at the girl.

"Mom, relax she is not being sarcastic" Welma points out.

"Of course not, who even wears a dress like this? All I have to do is wait for the wind and then boom all of my jewels are on show" Willow states making the women groan.

"See, I told you, she will not like the dress. It's no use to even think..." Willow ignores her mother's rant as she walks out of the door.

"Willow, where are you going?" her mother calls.

"I will go ask dad about his view on this dress" she calls out as she walks wearing her maid-of-honor dress.

She finds her father standing and talking with few men while the barbeque is ongoing, the smell of the meat makes her mouth water, so changing her direction she goes to grab a plate first, as the review on the dress can wait but not the food.

"Careful" she warns as the kids runs around the place and she barely hold her plate before it falls.

"Kids" she groans while she looks for a spot to sit but he eyes lands on Dixon who was running around.

"Not my child to look after" Willow sighs before she puts her plate on the table and grabs few napkins, she grabs the piece of meat and goes to eat, she turns to spot the little girl and pauses as Dixon stands next to the barbeque grill with a paper plate.

With a smile, Willow eats her meat, eyes on the girl and Willow drops her meat as she watches the group of kids running carelessly before they crash on the grill and Willow's eyes widens when the hot meat of the grill fall on top of Dixon's hand.

Her screams stop everyone on their track while Willow hurries to the girl's side, she grabs the bucket of ice from the table and as soon as she reaches Dixon, she grabs the girl's hand and shoves it in the ice bucket.

"Get me some more ice" Willow shouts as she grabs the girl crying for her father.

"Goddamn, they ruined my steaks" the man on the grill curses as he picks up the meat and Willow sees red.

"Willow" her father's voice makes her turn to the man and she asks him to hold the girl's hand in the bucket while she gives the man a piece of her mind.

"You fucking tart! Did you not see her standing with that plate waiting for meat?" she shouts at the man.

"Listen Lady..."

"No, you listen you fucking idiot, she wanted to eat the meat and had been waiting for you to notice her but you were an asshole to ignore her and because of that she is hurt"

"These steaks were ordered"

"You can shove the fucking steaks in your ass and go grab some ice and towels before I shove it inside of you for you" she shouts and the man glares at her but looking around her finds everyone staring at them so he silently walks away.

"And who the fuck are responsible for these kids?" Willow asks next and the kids who help start the accident cries rushing to their respective parents.

"You have the capability of pushing them out then be responsible for watching them, especially around fire and water, god damn accidents waits for it to happen, and now look at the girl" she scolds the parents before her father calls her name.

"Willow" David sighs and Willow closes her eyes to take a deep breathe before she makes her way to the girl.

"I want daddy" the girls sniffs.

"Someone get her, her daddy before I do" Willow asks as she wraps the ice around the towel and holds onto the girl's hand.

********

"You like it?" Willow asks as she feeds the piece of meat to the girl.

"Umm-hmm" she nods her head chewing the meat.

"Well, next time not going near anything that is being cooked, okay?" Willow whispers as she pushes the hair away from the girl's eyes.

"You saved me again" the girl smiles and Willow sighs.

"Is it hurting?" Willow asks as she stares at the girl's red hands.

"Just a little"

"Well, sleep and when you wake up it will be fine" Willow smiles.

"But daddy" the girl calls.

"Don't worry when he gets back, I will definitely make sure he is here" Willow smiles as she wipes the girl's mouth before pulling the cover over her body.

"Okay" the girl sighs before she closes her eyes and Willow puts the plate away.

She touches the girl's little hands and pulls the piece of tomato off before she rubs the cooling cream. Letting the cream rest in her hands Willow gets up to leave the girl. Just as she turns around the door open and a distraught Maddox barges in.

Every scolding she was ready to give him is lost to her as he makes a direct line to where the girl was while Dax follows him.

"Baby girl" Maddox whispers as if in pain before the girl wakes up and cries seeing her father.

"Daddy" the girl cries as she hugs the man.

"Is it hurting?" Maddox asks his daughter as he checks her hand before kissing on her head and Willow feels weird staring at the scene so she walks out of the room.

********

Willow makes her way towards her room but when she finds her father standing outside, she feels her shoulders slump, walking towards him she hugs the man.

"You okay?" the man asks and she nods her head.

"You did good" he smiles kissing the top of her head.

"All I wanted was nuggets and pizza that day and now here I am saving some little girl"

"Well, not all superhero wears cape some wants nuggets and pizza" his father jokes making her laugh.

"I love you, dad" she sighs.

"Love myself too, baby girl, love myself too" he grins and she giggles before pulling away.

"I wanted to show you my maid-of-honor dress" she points a she twirls for him.

"Not the dress I imagined but the dress my daughter will rock in" he grins and she laughs.

"Dad admit it, you hate this as much as I do" she asks and he laughs.

"Well, what is this mosquito bites I have been hearing?" he teases and she groans as she wraps her arms around his waist.

"Stop believing everything you hear dad"

"Well, I won't say I like him for you, but I mean I have talked with him few times, he is not so bad"

"Dad" she groans while he just grins.

"What? I mean, I cannot have you beside me all the time, someday, sometime, you will have to get off your phone, get yourself back to the real world and find not your version of prince charming but someone who will redefine your version" he states and she quietly hugs him.

"You really have planned to kick me out of the house" she points and the man hugs her tightly as they start to walk.

********

Willow locks the door of the room, and stretches her body while she takes a deep sigh, still in the dress from afternoon, she starts to pull the ribbon from behind her neck while she walks deeper into the room.

"Saved my daughter" Maddox voice makes her jump as she looks up to find him sitting on her bed.

"What are you doing here?" she asks shocked to find him in her room and how she did not see him when she walked in.

"Saved her twice" he continues to talk and Willow frowns.

"Maddox, you need to leave"

"Giving her tea times"

"Okay, you are making me angry now" she warns.

"Giving Dax names of the anime that has cool characters"

"Uh"

"Giving my children time that I could not" he points and she takes a step back as their eyes meets and the intensity of his eyes scares her in a good way.

"It's late"

"I had a meeting at the town"

"You should leave" she points as she keeps stepping back and he keeps walking towards her.

"When I got the call about Dixon, Dax was with me, he wanted to get some new games and colors"

"Maddox, really you should go, we can talk tomorrow" she asks.

"Scared the shit out of me, knowing she must be crying for me"

"Maddox, please"

"But you were there for her"

"Madd..." she stops as her back hits the door.

"Taking care of my girl" he breathes as he reaches her and their body touches.

"Saving her from bullies, going head on to the man that hurt her, sitting beside her, wiping her tears, applying medicines on her burns" he keeps going as their forehead joins.

"I have never wanted to fuck anyone more than I want you, right now" he confesses and she puts her hands on his chest to push him away.

"Girl must be getting on their knees when they hear you say that" she scoffs.

"Never wanted to show my appreciation the way I want to you"

"And it keeps getting worst" she groans as she tries hard to push him but he easily puts both his hand beside her body trapping her.

"I am spending the night with you" he informs and she glares at him.

"Do I have a sign out of my room, saying I am looking for a roommate?" she asks him.

"No, but I am keeping a do not disturb sign on it" he states before his lips touches her.

"No, seriously" Willow groans as she turns her head aside and his lips lands on her ear before he licks it and moves his head to the side of her neck.

"Maddox, no" she sighs even if he fingers runs through the back of his neck.

Maddox drops his hands from the door and moving it towards the slit of her dress and she jumps as he touches the side of her legs.

"This is wrong" she gasps.

"Tell me how do you want it?" he asks as he moves his mouth to other side of her neck.

"I do not want it at all"

"I will give you every position, every way you want. You can even scream the names of the men in your books while I am doing you"

"Oh god no" she shakes her head not wanting to even think about it.

"Or do you want me to call you by the names of the girls, they bang" he asks and Willow's breath deepens.

"I can go slow, I can go fast, I can go raw" he breathes kissing her earlobe.

"Move in and out of you, make you feel each and every inch of my length, let you ride me" he teases as his hands move up and down her legs.

"So, who is he? Hmm? How do you want me to do you?" he asks as he grabs one of her leg and puts it around his hip.

"I am going to faint" she confesses making him grin before he picks her up making her wrap her legs around him.

"On the door, on the wall, on the bed, on the floor or out in the garden?" he asks making her cup his face before she kisses him on her own.

"All of it, but with you" she admits and he slams her back on the door before taking over the kiss.

********

Before she changes her mind, he walks to the bed and drops her on it. He stands staring at her for a moment sprawled on the bed, then starts to pull his shirt off his body. Watching him unbutton the shirt, Willow holds her breath when he throws it away and then his body is on display for her.

Just as he bends to kiss her again, she raises her leg and stops him from moving, throwing a grin her way he grasps her leg and pulls the shoes off before he kisses on her calf.

"You have abs" she breathes just as their mouth touches.

"You have boobs" he grins making her giggle.

"This is wrong"

"Yeah, me half naked and you still in this dress" he states before grabbing it.

"It's my maid-of..." she stops when he tears it from her body.

"Well there goes the honor" she whispers when he pushes her back on the bed and grabs her breasts with both hands.

"You can have my honor" he states as they kiss again.

"Wait, wait, wait" Willow breathes as she cups his jaw to push his away and he bends his head to suck on her nipples.

"Maddox, no seriously, wait" she asks as she cups his face and pulls his mouth away from her breasts.

"What? Is this the time you tell me; you are a virgin and I should take it slow?" he asks and she groans swatting on his chest.

"No"

"Are you saying you are not a virgin?" he frowns.

"Are you?" she demands and he grins.

"The more experience you are the better experiments we can do" he states going back to sucking but she groans pushing him off.

"What?" he asks annoyed.

"I am not on pill"

"So?"

"Do you have a condom?" she asks.

"No" he admits.

"And you will promise to pull out but you won't"

"Do I have to promise?" he asks and she groans hitting the bed once as she gets up.

"No condoms, no sex" she refuses and he sighs as he rubs his face few times before getting off her.

Willow wraps her arm around her chest as he gets up before to her surprise he walks to the bathroom and she hears him open and close something. Walking back, he throws the box of condom on the bed.

"Are you kidding me?" she asks in disbelief.

"Every room in the house has one, you may never know when you need it" he points and she grabs the box turning it around.

"Does this have an expiry date?" she asks but he pulls the box out of her hand.

"I will give my mother a call if I have to, to get a box of condom delivered in this room, so just know my level of determination to bang you tonight"

"Why can you not go and get it yourself?" she asks him.

"And let you have the chance to lock the door on me?" he asks and she sighs before she lies on the bed.

"You are married"

"Widow"

"And have kids"

"Who loves you"

"And you are my sister's brother-in-law"

"The more forbidden the better"

"And all I wanted was nuggets and pizza that day"

"Well you are getting a cock, tonight" he finishes as he gets back to kissing her.

********

"Oh my, oh...oh...ohhhhhhhhh" Willow moans as Maddox thrusts in and out of her while he holds her thighs behind him.

"Want to scream a certain name?" he teases as he grips her breast.

"Shut it" she warns wrapping her arms around him.

"Fuck you are hot though" he breathes as he continues to thrust in her.

"We will regret it in the morning"

"Good thing we have a box so I can remind you why we did this" he groans as the thrust a bit hard to make a point.

"Not going to do it again" she moans biting on his shoulder.

"You said that two rounds ago" he reminds her and she stretches her body a bit as he hits a spot.

********

"Good morning" Dixon greets Willow as the girl walks with her doll to where Willow was.

"How's your hand?" Willow asks as she smiles at the girl.

"Daddy kissed it better" she informs as Willow helps her to sit down.

"Where's daddy?" Willow asks as she looks around for the man.

"Behind you" Maddox states as he puts a plate in front of his daughter before putting one between him and Willow.

"Dax?" she asks.

"With his uncle, Tony and Welma have gone for some sigh seeing" Maddox replies as he cuts the eggs in little pieces for his daughter.

"We are sharing" he informs as he grabs a bacon and eats it.

"Are we now and here I thought you could eat all of this alone" she teases.

"I can, had a new very hard routine of exercise from last night and this morning" he replies back as he eats the toast.

"I don't remember you doing any exercise this morning" she reminds him.

"Oh yeah, here try the sausage" he grins and she swats on his hand knowing well what he was hinting on.

"Best blow ever" he winks at her and Willow turns her head away.

"Did you blow a balloon daddy?" Dixon asks and Maddox chokes on his juice.

"What?"

"You said blow, so did you blow a balloon?" the girl asks while Willow bites her cheek to stop from laughing.

"Uh, no, baby, hurry up the breakfast is getting cold" he tries to distract.

"This is why we don't talk about it in front of kids" Willow whispers as she stabs the sausage and bites on it making him wince.

********

"You said....you had a mee...oh god, a meeting, Maddd" Willow moans as she grabs onto the table while Maddox thrusts into her from behind.

"Will be on my way in a minute" he breathes as he buries his face in her neck and groans.

"Okay" she sighs as they finish and she lies on the table while his body covers her back, the couple stays still trying to control their breath.

"Going to go" Maddox groans as he gets up and pulls himself out from her and goes to throw the condom away.

"Umm" Willow hums as she just stays laying on the table.

Seeing her Maddox chuckles while pulling his pants up, he stands behind her and fixes her dress before helping her to get up but she buries her back to his front, with her head on his shoulder she sighs with closed eyes.

"Sleepy?" he asks as he wraps his arms around her waist.

"Umm" she nods and he kisses the side of her cheek finding her cute.

"I have to go" he states even if he holds her to him as he buries his face in her hair.

"Okay" she yawns and he groans as he lets her go.

"Come" he asks as he holds her hand and pulls her out of the store room they had found on their way to get hands on each other.

*********

"What the hell did you do to the dress?" Welma asks as Willow pulls of the tattered dress from her bag.

"I fell asleep on it"

"And how did you falling asleep on it makes it like this?" she asks grabbing the dress and staring at the torn material.

"Maybe I was having a wild dream and you know..." Willow shrugs her shoulders as she takes the dress away.

"No, I don't know, Willow, I really don't know what sort of wild dream it was for it to be this?" Welma scolds her sister.

"Jeez, chill. I will pay" Willow groans as she hands the dress to the dressmaker.

"This is not about money but..."

"Welma, you did not even ask me if I wanted to be a maid-of-honor..."

"As if you are doing that duty very well, half the time you are in a place only you know and other half, you just are skipping every event you should be helping me out in"

"Mom's there..."

"Your responsibilities are not mom's and how long are you going to hide behind mom and dad, you are twenty-nine, for God's sake act your age! Be responsible" Welma snaps at her sister.

"Oh, so just because this is your wedding and now that you are getting married, you are now a responsible citizen?" Willow asks her sister.

"I have been more responsible than you ever have been, Willow. Get out of your fantasy land and you know what? You are paying for that dress" Welma finalizes as she storms out of the store.

Willow groans as she throws her hand up in the air before she turns to find the lady of the shop stare at her.

"I will pay in cash" Willow grumbles as she steps out of the shop.

********

"Willow" Willow's mother shouts as the girl walks back to the farm house and Willow groans looking around to hide away.

"Do not, do not hide" her mother shouts as she walks faster.

"I said I will pay" she starts and her mother puts her hand on her hips glaring at the girl.

"I do not care! Because of the two families united here, I have said nothing, but this, this, you made your sister cry and she is inconsolable" her mother points and Willow stands with her mouth shut.

"First you do not help around, there are guest lists to be finalized, flowers to be chosen, we have yet to decide the cake and dance practice, you have skipped all of it" her mother starts to rant.

"Mom, guests list? Everyone is here"

"These are family members"

"Whose faces we will never see again once the wedding is finished"

"Do not talk back to me, we have yet to send cards to our neighbors, Welma's workplace, friends, family friends" the woman starts and Willow keeps quiet.

"Now why are you quiet?" her mom asks when she says nothing and Willow groans.

"Mom you just said not to talk back"

"I said no talking back, not stand mute"

"Oh god, fine. What do you want me to do? Taste the cake? For god's sake just order vanilla cake, no one can go wrong with vanilla, what's the big fuse, cake is cake, any cake is better than no cake, we do not have to duel for days to order one...

As for friends and family friends, but click the picture of the wedding card and tag them on your facebook and anyways definitely no one will care what flowers you have in the wedding, as long as the food is there and no on stinks"

"Talked like a true girl with no sense of how wedding goes"

"That's because I have never been married and never will, damn the amount of stress you all are taking just so two people can legally and officially fuck for world to know" she points and her mother gasps in horror.

"If I could just slap you for that!" her mother scolds.

"Fine, slap me, lets be done, so at least I will have a reason to not show my face" she challenges her mother who glares at the girl.

"Where's your phone?" her mother asks instead and Willow frowns.

"Why?" she asks.

"Give me I need to call your father" the woman says and Willow scoffs.

"Classic threat mom" Willow states as she gives her phone to her mother who grabs it.

"And you will get this phone, only and only when your sister's is wedded of" the woman states as she walks away and Willow's eyes widens.

"Mom, seriously" she calls.

"Now you have a reason to show your face everywhere to everyone" her mother smiles while Willow stomps her feet.

"Mom, no, you cannot do that" she cries as she runs behind her mother.

********

The knock of the door makes Tony sighs as he gets away from a crying Welma towards the door to open it, he finds both Welma's mother and big sister making him sigh in relief.

"She won't even listen to me" he points and Wynter glares at her elder daughter who sighs as she walks in.

"Welma, come on, get up" Willow asks but the girl ignores her.

"Stop crying as if you are five"

"Go away" Welma cries.

"I cannot, not until you accept my apology, okay. I am sorry" she sighs as she sits on the bed and Welma turns to face her sister.

"You are saying sorry only because mom made you" she hiccups and Tony makes his way to sit beside her pulling her in his arms.

"Baby" he whispers and she puts her head on his chest.

"Even so, I am sorry and stop crying you are ugly also, I will be more responsible and help you out" she promises and Welma wipes her tears as she stares at her big sister.

"Promise?" she asks putting her hand out and Willow glances at her mother before she makes the pact.

********

"Oh look, how lovely of you to finally join us" Ella comments as soon as Willow walks in the room.

"Forced is the right word" Willow replies as she joins the ladies around the table.

"Well, now that you are forced to join us, let me introduce you to everyone. You have already met few of Tony's cousins and his aunt, these are the remaining ones" Ella introduces her to everyone around the table.

"And this is Welma's elder sister, Willow" Ella points and Willow smiles at the women around.

"So, what do you do, Willow?" someone asks but before Willow start a commotion breaks in and all of them turn around to stare at the door.

"Victor and Mila has arrived" Ella smiles as she gets up before pushing past Willow who steps away as the women squeal and runs out as if some celebrity has arrived.

"Who are they?" Willow asks her sister.

"Tony's cousin from his mother's side, he has come all the way here for the wedding"

"Must be important for your mother-in-law, to run so fast" Willow mumbles as she grabs the cherry and throws it away before grabbing the cake.

********

"Oh my god, did you see her dress?"

"I mean, fine she is from a different culture but can she not try to drop it down?" the girls start to gossip and Willow quietly listens.

"Exactly, I wonder what Victor saw in here"

"Maybe she showed him something" the girls giggle and Willow looks away not wanting to comment on it.

"Willow" Ella calls her so she stands and makes her way to where Ella was standing smiling her way.

"Meet my nephew, Victor and his wife Mila Volkov, honey, she is Willow, Tony's sister-in-law, she can show Mila to her room, she must want to freshen up" Ella smiles as she touches Victor's arm lightly.

"Do you want to freshen up?" Victor asks his wife who shakes her head no.

"She is fine" Victor replies.

"But I am sure..." Ella starts but a glance from Victor shuts the woman making Willow cough as she controls her laughter.

"Is something funny?" Victor asks Willow with a raised brow.

"Victor" Mila whispers as she tugs the lapel of his jacket making the man turn to his wife.

"Drinks then" Ella sighs as she walks away but not before she pointedly looks at Willow.

"What?" Willow asks and the woman glares before walking away.

"Hello" Mila smiles at Willow when they are left alone.

"Hi" Willow waves before the three of them stand in silent.

"Let's go look for Maddox" Victor states to his wife.

"He has gone to the town; he will be late" Willow speaks at once and Victor eyes turn to her before he stares her from head to toe and then narrows his eyes.

"You are?" he asks her and Willow flushes.

"Willow"

"Not the name" Victor points making Willow shuffle in her foot.

"Water please" Mila asks her husband who was staring at Willow intently.

"Don't move" Victor sighs before he drops a kiss on the side of her head before walking away to get her a glass of water.

"Victor can be..."

"Very observing" Willow finishes and Mila smiles as she touches Willow's hand.

"I did not know Maddox was seeing someone" she states and Willow pulls her hand away as if burned.

"Oh no, no, no. God what...no? We are not, pff, never" Willow waves her hands making Mila frown.

"Oh, well, okay" Mila smiles.

"So, you are married, so you definitely know about all these disaster" Willow starts.

"Disaster?" Mila frowns.

"I mean wedding preparation and stuff; we are waiting for the cake tasting and they have been eating cake for a week" Willow points making Mila laugh.

"Do we have to try as well?" Mila asks and Willow shrugs her shoulder.

"I mean free cake so" Willow grins.

"Uh, I am trying to check on the calories I take" Mila sighs sadly making Willow frown.

"Happy tummy is happy life" Willow pats her belly.

"I gain weight even by drinking water" Mila pouts just as her husband walks with a glass of water.

"Don't worry, I will make sure you work a bit hard tonight" Victor teases his wife and Mila giggles as she hushes him.

"Aww" Willow cannot help but coo but one glance from Victor makes her stop her gushing over the couple.

"As soon as Maddox walks in, tell him to see me" Victor asks Willow before he whispers something to Mila who squeezes his arm and whispers something back, he stares at her for a moment before nodding and leaving the girls alone.

********

"Hi" Maddox whispers in Willow's ear from behind making her yelp and jump.

"What are you doing?" Willow asks instead as she turns to face him and he grins as he stands close to her.

"What...no miss you?" he teases and Willow rolls her eyes.

"I am too full to even think of breathing" she replies going back to arranging the flowers.

"What are you doing?" he asks.

"Well, I spent a whole hour tasting cakes before they brought in the flowers and Welma wants me to put these flowers in a vase and let her know which is good"

"And?" he asks.

"None of them" she replies making her sigh.

"Well, I don't know about flowers but you smell good" he grins as he sniffs her hair and she bump him back.

"Get away from me"

"I think I said as soon as he walks in" Victor's voice makes Willow glance at the man standing in front of them.

"Vic" Maddox grins as he raises his hand to reach Victor's shoulder and squeeze it making Willow to stretch back on the table squeezed between the table and Maddox.

"Mad"

"When the hell did you arrive?" Maddox asks before he smiles at Mila.

"Hello to you too" he smiles as Mila greets him.

"Get off me" Willow grumbles as he pushes Maddox away from her and Maddox stares at her before he pulls her hair making her swat his hand away.

"Stop" she asks but he just grins before wrapping his arm around her neck and pulling her to his side, playfully.

"I cannot breathe" she mumbles.

"Suck it up" he laughs.

"And she is?" Victor asks again making Maddox to turn to his cousin.

"Willow" Maddox states.

"Not the name" Victor points and once again Mila stops him before he says more, she gets on her tiptoes and whispers something to his ear making him frown before she stands back and he sighs as he shakes his head.

"Walk out" Victor asks to Maddox who let go of Willow.

"Drink?" Maddox asks and Victor nods before he steps away from his wife.

Maddox swats on Willow's behind as he walks away and Victor eyes his eyes who shakes her head no with a smile which makes him sigh.

********

"Baby girl" David shouts as he hugs his daughter and Willow frowns.

"Dad are you drunk?" she asks and the man laughs.

"Is this party not rocking?" she hollers and she stares at the group of men, made with her uncles and cousins with beverage around them.

"Don't let mom see you" she warns him.

"Don't worry, I know how to handle her" he wiggles his brows and she gags.

"Jeez, someone take him to his room before he starts to dance naked" she groans before one of her cousin step in.

Willow looks around the garden to many people gathered in groups laughing and enjoying the dinner, she finds little Dixon and Dax as well. But she does not makes her way towards the kids as they were with their father along with Victor and Mila.

"Higher" Dixon squeals in a demand and Willow smiles as Victor throws Dixon up in the air before grabbing her.

"More, uncle, higher" the girl demands laughing.

Turning around she looks for her mother who has yet to give her the phone back as it has been hours she was away from her phone. When she does not find her mother, she makes her way towards the food stall, so she can eat and then go search her mother.

"Willow" Dax shouts as Willow finishes stuffing food in her plate and the boy runs to where she was.

"You missed the tea party today" he points and she smiles.

"Yeah, was busy doing grown up stuff"

"Oh, well come meet my uncle, he is so cool" he grabs her hand and starts to pull her to the group.

"Uh, Dax...I don't..."

"Uncle Vic, look we got Willow" the boy shouts as he pulls her towards the group and Willow smiles.

Victor grabs Dixon and lets her down and the girl runs towards Willow as well.

"Willow" she squeals before she hugs Willow's legs and she stumbles a bit before touching the back of Dixon's head.

"Hi" the girl smiles before she stares at Willow.

"Hi" Willow smiles back.

"I missed you" she states and Willow blinks before she looks up to find Maddox staring at her.

"Uh, yeah" Willow clears her throat before all of them stand in silence.

"Come join us" Mila speaks and Willow looks behind her before she stares at them.

"Uh, it's okay, I was..."

"Babe" Maddox calls as he makes his way towards her and grabs her plate before he walks to the table and puts it on it so Willow has no choice but to join them all.

"Uncle Vic, she saved me from bully and when I burned my hands, look it's all okay now" the girl shows her hands to the man and Victor moves to kiss her little hands making her giggle.

********

Willow silently grabs her spoon as she starts to eat while glancing around the table as she feels awkward for some reason.

"Yo" Tony shouts as he along with Welma joins them.

"Where have you been?" Victor grins as he hugs Tony.

"What can I say, going to get married I am a busy man" he grins before he waves at Mila and introduces his fiancé.

"Baby, food?" Tony asks Welma who nods her head before he shouts, he will be right back as he leaves while Maddox goes to bring food for his kids and his son jumps to join his father and uncle.

"Hey" Willow greets her sister who joins her.

"Did you finalize the cake and flowers?"

"Yeah, red velvet and pink peonies"

"And everyone agreed?" Welma asks in surprise.

"Mila helped and it seems no one could say no" Willow nods towards Mila and Welma turns to find the woman giggling as her husband pulls her on his lap before pinching her side.

"So, she is the famous Mila" Welma whispers and Willow nods her head.

"Ah" Dixon opens her mouth and makes a noise and Willow puts a piece of meat in the girl's mouth.

"I think I will take her with me on every wedding preparation"

"I was thinking the same, they did not even blink when she said which cake, she liked" Willow whispers to her sister.

"I finally see hope" Welma giggles.

"This is your wedding; your thoughts should matter" Willow points and Welma shrugs her shoulder.

"As long as I chose the dress and groom, I am good to go" Welma smiles and Willow nods her head.

"Point" Willow agrees.

"They look so into each other" Welma sighs as both the sister watches the couple in front of them.

"As if right out of my books" Willow sighs as well.

**********

"Mad, did not tell me who you are" Victor starts as he turns his head and stares at Willow.

"I know, I know" Dixon yells as she stands on the bench.

"Oh no" Willow curses as she tries to grab the girl.

"Dixon" Willow grins as she covers the girl's mouth who tries to push it away from her mouth.

"Let her go" Victor orders and Willow gulps at the command in his voice.

"V..." Mila tries to stop him but he puts his forefinger on his lips.

"Ssh" he orders his wife and Mila sighs before she gives Willow a small smile.

"Dix, who is Willow to daddy?" Victor asks and the girl perks up as she gets all the attention.

"She is daddy's slut" the girl states proudly and Mila gasps behind her hand while Welma's eyes widens.

"Daddy's what?" Victor asks slowly and the girl blinks before she glances at Willow.

"I forgot another word" she asks politely to Willow who closes her eyes and sighs.

"Fuck"

"Yes, that too, she is daddy's fuck" the girl smiles proudly and Victor raises a brow as he stares at Willow who bangs her head on the table cursing before Victor bursts out in laughter.

"That's not nice" Mila chides her husband as she tries to get up from his lap but he pulls her down.

"Baby, by now I think I have proven I am not nice" he chuckles before he calls for Dixon who hurries to go to his side as he was her favorite uncle.

"No saying such words from now on okay?" he asks and Dixon nods her head as she will do everything her uncle Victor will ask of her.

"Promise princess" he asks.

"I promise" she smiles before he kisses on the top of her head while she gets on his lap.

"What the hell, Willow?" Welma asks as she glances at the couple who looked so, so good with a little girl on their lap.

"Don't ask, don't ask at all"

"Are you and Maddox?" Welma asks and Willow groans.

"Oh my god, he is my brother-in-law" Welma points and Willow sighs as she bangs her head few times on the table.

"Baby, guess what I got for you?" Tony shouts as he walks to his fiancé's side.

"We are so talking about this later" Welma states before she smiles at her man.

"We are no not talking at all" Willow groans as she gets up.

*********

"Where are you going?" Maddox asks as he puts the plate on the table before he grabs his daughter from Victor.

"To the other side of this world" she mumbles and he glances at her plate.

"You did not even eat" he points.

"Not hungry" she replies as she goes to walk out but he walks to stop her.

"Something wrong?" he asks searching her face.

"I told Uncle Vic, who she is to you daddy" Dixon informs.

"Fuck"

"That too" Dixon nods as she wraps her arms around him and smiles at Victor who laughs.

"Stay"

"Uh, no" Willow shakes her head.

"Willow"

"Do you really, really want to do this, right here, in front of everyone?" Willow asks him and Maddox sighs knowing he should not.

"We will talk..."

"Never, now excuse me" she grumbles trying to move past him but he grabs her wrist.

"Willow"

"No" Willow shouts aloud and everyone glances at them.

"Willow" Welma whispers as they have attracted everyone's attention.

"Don't you get it? We just wanted a new picture of Taylor swift but she gave us a whole damn album none of us were ready for but it was what we all deserved...

Have you heard her songs? The lyrics? I had to google the words because I realized even with my degree, I am nothing but so dumb!" Willow shouts which makes everyone blink.

"Uh....what?" Maddox frowns in confusion.

"Great just another swiftie" Victor sighs while Mila covers her mouth in laughter.

"So, you cannot stop me from listening to her songs, ever" Willow states confusing Maddox as he does not know what the hell she is talking about and taking advantage of his confusion she walks away.

**********

"Is your sister, okay?" Tony asks as he asks Welma who sighs.

"I hope so" she replies before Tony pushes the plate her way.

"You got yourself a crazy one" Victor comments and Maddox shakes his head.

"That made no sense to me at all" Maddox states as he goes and puts his daughter on the bench.

"I think she likes you and she is shy about it" Dax speaks for the first time and Maddox raises a brow at his son.

"I mean she really mentions you a lot when we play. Your dad this and that, like every time we do something, she mentions you. And I think she is cool, like she does not bore me like other girls she has good taste in video games and cartoons so" the boy shrugs his shoulders as he eats his food.

"Did he just give his go sign to you?" Tony asks his brother and Maddox ruffles his son's hair.

"Sounded like that to me, I like her too" Mila adds and Victor squeezes her side making her stare at him.

"You like everyone, so your vote does not count, my budi" he grins making her roll her eyes.

"Well, then I like you too" she smiles at him.

"Nah, you love me, two words difference" he teases and she rolls her eyes at him.

********

"My sister and..." Welma worries as she glances at Tony who pecks on her lips to shut her.

"They are old enough to know what they are doing and who they are doing so let us focus on us" he asks and Welma nods her head.

"Two more days and you are all mine" he grins as he picks the spoon and feeds her.

"I am already yours" she smiles as she takes a bite.

"Nope, not taking any risk, have to have God as witness" Tony replies making her laugh.

"I love you" Welma whispers to him and Tony grins as he pecks on her lips once again as he cups her jaw.

"That's why marrying you, my wishing well" he whispers as the love birds enjoys their dinner.

"He calls her his wishing well" Mila whispers to her husband.

"Of course, he does, he gets to dip inside of it" Victor winks and she frowns at his words.

"Not nice" she shakes her head and he shrug his shoulder.

"Tell me that when I am dipping inside of you tonight" he teases as he grabs the back of her neck pulling her closer to him.

*********

"Ugh" Willow groans as she storms in her room in frustration as her mother refused to let her get her phone.

"Two more days and then this façade will end. Then back to my normal life full of food, sleep and my stories" Willow grumbles as she walks to her bed and dusts the sheet off but stops as she hears a song play.

She turns to find Maddox walking inside her room so she drops the pillow and stares at him.

"What are you doing here?" she asks folding her arms.

"Am I hot enough that you cannot take your eyes off me?" he asks and she rolls her eyes.

"Because you may not be the definition of hot but I cannot take my hands off you" he confesses making her scoff.

"Thanks, would have died if I did not know about it"

"The wedding is in two days and after that we will go our own ways, you back to your life and Me, back to my busy schedules"

"So?" she asks.

"I like sleeping with you"

"Aww, how romantic" she coos sarcastically making him grin as he throws the phone down before unbuttoning his shirt.

"I think at this point in our lives both of us are not looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend"

"What do you want?" she asks staring at him.

"I was married once, bad experience, good outcomes"

"Why are we talking about this?" she asks not understanding where he was going.

"She was from a well-known family, I needed what she offered, the status, the power, the money"

"Uh, I am not going to write a book you know. Some of us are just born readers not leaders" she informs but he stops in front of her and cups her face tilting her head up as they stare in their eyes.

"Shut up and listen because I am not going to repeat this again" he asks her to stay silent.

"Dax is seven, Dixon is four. Married their mother eight years ago, my kids are the only good outcome. She was a diva, party, social gatherings were her thing. I won't lie, she was so beautiful though, great to look at and good is bed as well...

We had active sex life but we sucked otherwise, we both wanted a secure life. We both were eye candies, she to me and me to her. We looked great, couple of the hour but reality was not what the picture showed...

We never tried to understand each other and guess that is where we failed. We both were shitty partners. But we both knew Dixon and Dax were the only good thing that came with our union. She loved her kids but there were complications while we had Dixon. We lost her...

She was there when I needed her physically but never when I needed her emotionally and I am not going to ask anyone of that. But I want to continue what we have...

You just have something that makes me unravel you. You give me attention when I need and ignore me when I don't need your attention. You are good to my kids; I don't want you as their mother and I will never ask you of that...

Just for some selfish reason, I want you all to myself. When we are in the same room, I want to walk in and know that I am the one who is fucking you. I want to smile knowing hundred of books in your library but I am the one fulfilling your fantasies. Call yourself my slut, my fuck I don't care as long as you are mine" he confesses and Willow stands still in his arms just staring at him for a little while longer making him frown before she starts.

"No meaningless promises?" she asks.

"Would not even think"

"No unnecessary expectations?"

"Don't even have one"

"No compromises"

"You between my legs and me between yours is the only compromise I want" he grins.

"What happens if only one of us falls in love?"

"Will not have a two weeks long ass wedding gathering like this one" he states making her grin.

"So, I am really going to yes for being your slut"

"And fuck" he adds.

"That too" she grins.

"You also need to pay for my maid-of-honor dress you tore"

"Why?" he frowns.

"Because every guy that tore the dress promises to buy her new ones" she points.

"Fine"

"I will need fake breakups, surprise gifts on special occasions and you leaving me the hell alone when I demand" she adds.

"What about me?" he frowns.

"You are getting sex, good unlimited sex from me"

"God, all of this sounds crazy"

"It's called adultery" she points and he sighs nodding.

"I do have busy schedules so I can forget special occasions"

"Don't worry, I won't go crazy ass girl, I will remind you beforehand" she adds.

"Well, that makes me better" he chuckles.

"This is insane" she points and he agrees.

"You will tell me when I start to bore you" he asks and she nods.

"Don't worry, I will not let you down" she promises and he sighs before kissing on her lips.

"It's great to have this deal with you Willow" he breathes.

"Pleasure is all mine" she winks as she wraps her arms around his shoulder before he picks her up and throws on the bed.

*********

"Are you sure about this?" Victor asks as he eyes at the floor where his wife is laughing and dancing.

"About?" Maddox asks as his eyes turns away from the floor to Victor.

"Willow" Victor points and Maddox turns to stare at the said girl who was dancing with her shoes in her hands screaming aloud the lyrics.

"She won't be a trouble"

"Cannot have one in the business and don't want one in your life as well" Victor states.

"She won't be" he promises.

"You got two kids; you have enough distraction"

"She is not a distraction, Vic" Maddox points out.

"I know a distraction when I see it" Victor states and Maddox raises a brow as he turns towards his cousin.

"Willow and I have a certain pact"

"So, is that what they call sex these days? Pact?"

"I am not looking to settle down" Maddox groans.

"What happens when she wants to?" Victor asks.

"We feel the same about these things"

"There are girls out there who does not want to get tied down?" Victor asks surprised.

"Seems like there is one and I have her"

"Hmm, an advice because I see you as my brother, Mad. Hold onto the girl who wants nothing from you" he points and Maddox chuckles.

"She wants me alright, Vic, she wants me alright"

"When life gives you second chance hold her down with your dick and cover her with your love so she cannot see anyone else" Victor winks at Maddox, who bursts out in laughter.

"We don't love each other, Vic" Maddox points.

"We all start like that" Victor states before he puts his drink down as he watches his wife walk his way in the sexy red saree matching the handkerchief on his coat pocket.

"Oh my god, I have never danced so much in my whole life" Mila smiles as she stands beside him.

"Am I lacking in bed?" Victor frowns and Mila tilts her head at his comment while Maddox chuckles as he leaves the couple.

"What does that have to do with my dancing?" Mila asks him.

"I thought you dance on me enough but it seems we are lacking; I don't like that" he jokes making her hit on his chest.

"Sex is all you think of" she scolds him and he grins grabbing her hand as he bites her finger.

"You jumping on the floor, in this saree, displaying your naked back to me, while the beads of your blouse teases your skin, baby it's not sex but playing ludo with you after this is all I can think of" he teases and she groans covering his mouth with her hand.

"You are not allowed to talk to me like that while we are in public" she warns him.

"If I cannot do those things to my wife in public the least you can do is let me talk about it" he grins as he kisses her hand and she sighs giving up on him as he pulls her closer to him side and runs his finger around her naked hip making her grab his hand so it does not wander away.

********

Maddox touches Willow's waist as he walks past her and she frowns turning to face him while he nods to the side signaling her to follow him. Willow waits for a moment as she looks around and when she finds everyone busy on their own, she walks out to the way Maddox went to.

Maddox wraps his arms around Willow's waist and pushes her on the wall as he slams his lips on hers.

"Someone will see us" Willow sighs but lets him push the strap of her dress down.

"Let them" he replies as be sucks on her nipples and she sighs arching her back.

"Maddox, later" she promises but he just shakes his head as he unzips himself.

"Later is very far away" he groans as he grabs her dress and pulls it up making her moan as he readies her for him.

"You will ruin the dress again" she pleads but her ignores before thrusting inside of her.

"Condom" she hits on his shoulder and he kisses her lips.

"Will pull out"

"And leave a stain?" she asks when he does not stop.

"Yeah" he grins and she hits on his chest this time.

"Either you get on pill or I will have to get a vaccine"

"Then get a vaccine" she moans.

"Mean" he chuckles kissing her neck.

"I am not getting on a pill for you"

"I don't carry condom everywhere" he replies.

"Too bad you will have to learn then" she whispers in his ears.

"What will it take for you to go get on pills?" he sighs as he stops moving and stares at her.

"After all these years, what do you think my parents will say when they see me start to take pill?" she asks him.

"Well, that their daughter is being careful while being sexually active" he points.

"I would love to hear this conversation when Dixon explains that to you" she grins seeing the defeated expression on his face.

"Not fair" he groans.

"Learn to live" she pats his cheek and he stares at the ceiling for a moment before joining their foreheads.

"You are going to stay stubborn on this, I can so feel it" he points and she proudly nods her head.

"Our secret moments in your crowded room

They've got no idea about me and you.....

Only bought this dress so you could take it off" she sings to him and he grins before kissing her.

"Uh, bro?" Tony's voice makes them both stiffen and Maddox pushes Willow aside as they hurry to fix their clothes.

"What the hell Tony?" Maddox shouts at his brother.

"The hell will happen when you meet mom" Tony speaks and Maddox fastens his pants as he walks out to find his brother standing with a red face.

"What happened?" Maddox asks.

"You two were doing in right in front of the CCTV's" Tony points and much to their horror Maddox along with Willow stares up on the wall to find the cameras.

"Oh fuck" Maddox curses.

"Yeah, and well everyone saw it"

"No" Willow gasps covering her face.

"Yeah, so well, do you two want to like get back to the party?" Tony asks and Willow bangs her head on the wall.

"This is so not happening to me. I want to go back to the time and lock my door so Welma would not barge in on me" Willow groans while the brother's watches her.

*********

Willow groans as she slides on her seat as he mother scolds her about privacy, morality and sins while her father drives in silence. Even if they did not want to, both Maddox and Willow had to face the family but one glare from Maddox no one dared spoke but Willow can still feel Maddox's mother hateful eyes on her.

"And in her own sister's wedding, with her own sister's brother-in-law" Wynter shouts as she turns to glare at Willow.

"Honey"

"It's all because of you, see what happens when you let her live her life on her own?" her mother starts to scold her father.

"Now what did I do?" he asks.

"You always cover for her"

"She is an adult I mean I am not saying what she did was right but, well..."

"Oh my god, David, she was caught having sex with her sister's brother-in-law, the guy is married and have two kids, two grown up kids"

"He is a widow"

"Does not matter, if he will not offer for you" Wynter shouts.

"Point" Willow nods before dodging as her mother throws her bag at her.

"Mom, stop, jeez" Willow grumbles.

"You stay in my house, under my roof, you do as I say. You will not meet that man again, ever and we will find you a good guy to marry"

"Oh, come on, mom" Willow groans before she stares at her father who avoids staring at her.

"Fine, you know what, I am moving out anyways"

"Moving out?" her father hits the brake.

"Uh yeah, I mean I was not sure but now I am"

"What job?" her mother asks.

"It's a library plus café, they will give me a two weeks training so I can get a hand around"

"And living arrangements?" her father asks and Willow sighs.

"They have a studio above the library, the former librarian used to use it and now that she is going to leave, I can have it, it's cheaper than many places"

"And you did not even tell us about it?" her father asks as he turns to face her and Willow sighs.

"Well, this is me telling you" she shrugs her shoulders.

"What about that man?" her mother asks and Willow groans.

"He is none of your business, mom" she states before shifting away as her mother reaches for her.

"He is married with two kids, you sister just got married in that family" her mother reminds and Willow bites her cheek to stay quiet before her father takes a deep breath and starts the car.

********

Willow frowns as she hears a doorbell rung, she waits and hears the door open. Putting her phone down, she makes her way down to hear her mother speak.

"No, she is not home. She will never be home for you"

"Honey" her father sighs.

"Look at this shameful man. Mister, you are married she is not, this sin" Wynter states and Willow sits on the steps as she hears her father calm her mother and then calling her name.

Willow gets up from the steps and runs down before she comes to a halt as she finds Maddox on the doorstep.

"Five minutes and she have to get back; I am not letting him inside" her mother states and Willow hurries to grab her shoes.

"Be back" she mumbles as she walks out with Maddox.

Both of them walk towards his car and stands facing each other, she turns her head behind to find her parents peering at them through the window so she sighs and turns to face Maddox but before she could speak, he cups her face and kisses her on her lips.

"No meaningless promises, so I want a meaningful one" Maddox asks as he stares at her face.

"I am going to move out of my parent's house" she informs and he frown as he gazes to her house before coming back to her.

"They are kicking you out?" he asks and she shakes her head.

"Got a job"

"Where are you staying?"

"It comes with a studio"

"So, what about us?" he asks and she blinks.

"Both our parents..."

"There were no parents involved in this pact, just you and me" he reminds her and she sighs before pushing his hands away from her face.

"Maybe it was fun and all because of the wedding vibes"

"Want me to prove it was not?" he dares and she sighs as she steps and puts her head on his chest.

"Next week, I am moving out, meet me out here and then help me to move in to the studio apartment. Then we will christen the whole damn place and after that if anyone of us even for a second feel doubt, we break up" she asks and he wraps his arms around her before kissing her head.

"A guy cannot say no to a christening" he teases making her smile.

"I hold my side of the family, you hold yours. If in anyway, because of us my sister relation is harmed we are done. If we cannot hold back our parts of the family we will step back because a fuck is not worth it" she asks and he smiles.

"You really think this is just a fuck?" he asks and she shrugs her shoulders.

"What do I know?"

"You claim to read many books and yet you are so stupid" he shakes his head.

"Do you mean my pussy is so magical that you have started to have feelings and are in love with me?" she asks making him laugh.

"None of us has magical dick or pussy, Willow. But I do have feelings for you and I don't love you but I like you enough to know you not being in my life will make me re-think"

"Wow, the power of sex" she shakes her head while he shrugs.

"So?" he asks and she takes a deep breath she turns to stare back at her house and then back at him.

"Reading all the books, I realized unlike others I cannot let go of this opportunity and live in what if's, so yeah, we are still hooking up" she puts her hands out.

"Glad to be your hookup" he nods as he shakes her hand before she turns to leave but stops and turns to face him.

"I never asked but what do you do for a living?" she asks him and Maddox takes a deep breath and replies with a smile.

"I run an underground fight club"

"Excuse me?" Willow gasps

"They are legal, don't worry" he grins and Willow stares up in the sky, down to her shoes, back to her house and finally in front of her.

"And all I wanted was nuggets and pizza that day"

"But now you got a permanent meat to enjoy with it" he winks as they both stand and stare at each other.
