Currently, I am reading my favorite romance novel. In which the female protagonist after constantly trying to win the love of her life ,finally got succeeded. And they both lived happily ever after.

I closed the book and placed it on my study desk. My gaze fell on the shiny band fitted on my ring finger reminding me that now, I am in a commitment with a person who I barely know.

Although he is every boy's idol and every girl's dream.

But why his personality and vibes says differently?

Why do I feel he's more than what he pretends to be?

The few moments that I spend with him made me feel that their are many secrets hidden behind those mysterious oceanic orbs.

It's been a week since the engagement. And I haven't talk with him again after that party. Not that I am complaining.

I just can't understand his mood swings, one time he made me smile.But then, he sent shivers down my spine.

His badboy aura and intriguing personality attracts me. Wants me to know more about him. I don't know if my curiosity is good or bad for me?

Suddenly! I hear my bedroom door opened . I turned and saw my mom approaching me. She was looking happy but I was getting bad vibes from it as if what she is going to say will not make me happy.

"Aveliene honey, I want you to get dressed up nicely as Vaughn's parents are coming for a dinner tonight. Your dad and his dad will finalize the wedding date." She said calmly. But I know she is excited.

And here my prediction comes true. I just nodded and she left.

I glanced at the clock, it was five in the afternoon. It was still time for dinner so I laid on my bed to get a quick nap.

I woke up and looked at my watch it was seven now. I didn't realize I slept for two long hours.

I quickly went to the washroom and took a relaxing hot bath. Then I step into my closet and searched for a dress that is not too casual nor too fancy.

A dress caught my attention. It was a maroon colour dress which stop above my knee. It was not so fancy, just nice for a dinner occasion.

I wore my dress and it hugged my slender figure perfectly. I was not so fond of makeup. So I just put a mascara and lip gloss. I left my hairs in loose curls. Then I took a final look in the mirror, satisfied with my appearance I went downstairs.

As I was heading downstairs, I heard some voices coming from the living room. I think Vaughn's parents have arrived.

I entered the living room and all gazes looked at me. My dad gestured me to join.

I greeted Mr. And Mrs. Rodriguez and they smiled in response. I didn't see Vaughn. I wonder where is he?

I think he likes to come fashionably late.

Mrs Rodriguez then got up from the couch and hugged me. She always has this warm nature around her.

"Aveliene darling you are looking as usual, stunning " She said happily while looking at my appearance.

"Thanks Mrs Rodriguez ",I replied courteously.

"Oh darling there is no need of formalities as now you are going to be a part of our family" She said softly.

"Okay Mrs. Rodri- I mean Liliana", I said politely.

"That's like my good daughter in law", She said with a warm smile.

We then sat on the couch.

My parents and Vaughn's parents were chatting while I was just listening,

Where is Vaughn by the way? I wonder.

Oh Shoot, now I am again thinking about this guy ,am I not? When will I be able to get him completely out of my mind?

'No can do , sweetheart' ,my inner conscience spoke.

Then suddenly, the door bell rang which startles me.

I went to check the door. As I opened I saw the most fascinating sight infont of me. Which made my heart skip a beat.

Great, now I am sounding like a teenager who is obsessed with his crush.

Vaughn looked at me and our gaze locked. There is always this aura about him that makes him look intimidating, and the way his eyes shoot such a piercing look doesn't help.

He was wearing a smart casual outfit. Which was new to me as I have always seen him in formal dresses, it's not like I have met him many times but the pics on the internet .

But one thing is clear the magazines and photoshoot didn't do any justice to him as compared to how he looks more handsome and intimidating as seeing him face to face.

He was wearing a dark denim jeans with a black sleeves shirt - with a few buttons at the top unbuttoned showing the skin under his neck and upper chest, just enough to make girls fantasize- Can make someone looks so good.

Well, he always does, anyways. I Looked back to his eyes and got caught while checking him out. His lips twitched into a smirk and there was amusement filled in his eyes.

I wonder what is he thinking?

I looked away and stepped aside to let him enter and then shut the door.

What a great start of this dinner. I think it's going to be a really long night. I thought and went back inside the living room.
