"My name is Jerome Walton. I'm my father's one and only son. My mom left me and my dad when I was just five years old and went to heaven. From that day onwards, my father was the only family I had. He took care of me and gave me everything. Right now, what I'm is- because of him only. If he had thought to dump me and re-marry someone else, I wouldn't be able to get a good life. I'm twenty seven this year. Today, my dad told me that he likes someone. He was really nervous while he told me this, maybe he thought that I would scold him or something. Haha.. I can't even understand my own father. How can he think that I wouldn't agree him for being happy? If that's what he wants, then I would support him as much as I could. So, I'm getting a step mom in the age of twenty seven. Wow! That's really cool. *smiles* Hope she is a nice woman like my mom. Hope they could stay happy forever".
After writing his diary, Jerome closed the book and went straight to sleep.
Jerome Walton, who is a normal office worker is now getting a step mom in the age of twenty seven. His father who is named as Marcus Walton married Jerome's birth mother when he was too young, It was a love marriage too. So, there is only twenty years of age gap between them. His father got compelled to get married when his mom died. But Marcus didn't wanted to re-marry, because he was worried about Jerome, who was still young and naive. What if he got bullied by his step mom? That's what Jerome's father thought.
Now, Jerome had grown up. He will be soon get a family of his own, even though he isn't dating anyone right now. So, Jerome's father thought maybe he should also get a life partner. But he was tensed telling this to Jerome, as what if Jerome didn't liked this idea? That's what he thought. To his surprise, Jerome was really happy for him and told him to bring the lady he loves in to their house next day.
Both the father and son were happy and they slept in their room peacefully.
Next Day
"Sarah! You are here already " When Marcus saw Sarah he came near her and hugged her while saying this.
"Yes honey" Sarah smiled at Marcus warmly and answered. "When you first told me that your son agreed for us being together, I couldn't even believe it. He is really a sweet child. He didn't even threw a tantrum." Sarah was really happy that her lover's son also agreed them for being together.
"He is indeed really cute Sarah. He have never ever made me get angry at him. He is already twenty-seven but still he will ask my opinion before doing something"
Marcus replied. He was really proud of his son and it was visible on his face.
"Hi, Nicolas. Hope you are ok with our house". Marcus said this to the young man who was standing beside Sarah.
"Your house indeed suits my taste Brother-in-law. " The other guy replied to Marcus.
Nicolas, who is blood related brother of Sarah, he is really younger than Sarah as their parents had him in their sixty's. Sarah was just like a mother to Nicolas. Nicolas was only twenty while Sarah was now in her early fourty's. Their parents died ten years ago and from then onwards Sarah was the one who took care of Nicolas in the place of their parents. Now, Nicolas is also going to stay with them in Marcus's house..
"***So, where is Jerome***?" Sarah asked Marcus and before he could reply someone else replied from upstairs.
"Sorry, I just woke up". Jerome came to them from upstairs saying this which attracted Nicolas's attention.
Jerome was already twenty-seven but he looked too young for his age. His height was around 167 centimeters with white skin and thin body. His dark deep eyes were glittering as a kid's who saw his favorite toy. Jerome was a calm and mature man who always had a smiling face on. His shoulders weren't wide like other men, It looked as if it would get broken if it's squeezed. Even though his height was calculated in average, he was too short for a normal man because of his dowey eyes and fair skin. He really did looked like a school student who just got passed from his senior high. His skin was really fair like milk and his lips were light pink colored, he wasn't well-built because whatever exercises he do, he won't get any Muscles. So, Jerome had given up on body building.
These characteristics of Jerome made him to get noticed by men more often. But Jerome never showed any interest towards any of the gender even if it's male or female. He was always too reserved for himself. His studies were his priority when he was a student, now he is a employee, his priority have became his work. So, it was really hard for him to think something else like love, romance etc.other than his works or studies.
Nicolas was seeing Jerome for the first time. And in his eyes, Jerome looked like an angel walking down towards them. Jerome was wearing a T-shirt which was far larger than his body size and a shorts which only covered half of his thighs. Jerome always dressed himself like that inside his house because that's what he is comfortable with.
"Good Morning Jerome" Sarah greeted Jerome with a smile.
"Good Morning" Jerome replied back with a bright smile too. He was looking adorable like that.
Seeing Jerome smiling and talking with his sister, Nicolas just smirked looking at him....
Continue........
The family were having breakfast together.
"I'm renovating the house. So, Only two rooms are available here. Sarah can stay in my room. Can Nicolas share the room with Jerome? " Marcus asked while they were having breakfast in the dining hall.
"I'm ok with it brother-in-law. Are you ok with it nephew? "
Nicolas replied and asked this at the same time, looking at Jerome who was dumbfounded.
Sarah and Marcus looked at each other dumbfoundedly then began to laugh hearing Nicolas calling Jerome as "Nephew".
"Stop making fun of me."
Jerome unknowingly pouted and said this. His ears had turned red and his lips were shut tightly when he said this. "I'm ok to share a room with Nicolas. And stop laughing dad and auntie". Jerome said it while getting all worked up just because of the one word Nicolas said, "Nephew".
"Actually, what Nicolas called Jerome is correct too. Even though Jerry is older between them, he is still Nicolas's nephew in relation." . Marcus said this making it more funny.
Sarah and Marcus were laughing while Nicolas grinned at Jerome. Seeing this all, Jerome was the only one who didn't found it fun at all in that house.
"You are all making fun of me. I'm going." Jerome quickly stood up from his chair, glaring at Nicolas and then he went towards his room.
"Hey, d-don't go" Marcus called back Jerome while trying to control his laughter. But Jerome didn't came back and he slammed the door making it even heard downstairs.
"Looks like, Jerry didn't liked it. We shouldn't have teased him".
Sarah told it feeling worried over Jerome. She was just a step-mom for Jerome, and now she is going to live in their house. She shouldn't have teased her step-son just in the first day she came there. Right?
"Don't worry. I know him more than anyone else. I'm sure he went from here because he felt embarrassed and yeah, he wasn't angry at you two or me. I'm sure about it."
Marcus told it to Sarah to make her calm down and squeezed her hands to give her assurance.
It really did helped Sarah as she blinked her eyes for one time and smiled back at Marcus.
With Jerome
"They only knows how to make fun of me" Jerome was thinking this and pouting for the same time. Suddenly his phone rang making him come out of his thoughts and he hurriedly picked it up right away when he saw the caller ID.
"Hello Angelina" Jerome said just after picking up the phone with a smile. His all worries were gone just in that second.
"Yes, I have done that part of work. I will sent in to you over email ". Jerome soon turn off the call after saying this. And let out a deep sigh. He have expected some more time speaking to the other person maybe. But he had to disconnect as there weren't any interesting topic between them other than work? really disappointing right? You wanna talk to someone, and that someone calls you but it turned out to only for work? It's really sad. Jerome was feeling the same too.
"Can I come in? " Someone knocked the door and asked Jerome.
"Yes? " Jerome replied and that person came inside to the room.
"Are you still angry at me? " He asked Jerome making a cute face.
"Not at all. I was just feeling embarrassed. I wasn't really mad at you guys." Jerome smiled and replied to the question.
"Thank goodness. I thought you were really mad at me. " That person let out a deep sigh in relief and smiled looking at Jerome.
"So, did you liked the room? " Jerome asked the person near him who was looking around the room.
"I can't believe a man is living here" That person said it out making Jerome furrow his eyebrows in confusion. "I mean, it's really tidy and clean. Mine or my friends room isn't neat like this. No offense..." The man said it as he saw Jerome furrowing his eyebrows.
"I will take it as a compliment then. " Jerome smiled and replied. "So, tell me if there is anything that I could help you. "
"I would like to take a bath. I'm really sweaty after the all loading and unloading" The guy replied moving the collar of his T-shirt.
"Oh! hearing you saying, I also feel sweaty now" Jerome said it smiling "Bathroom is just there. You can take a shower. Towel and shampoo is there too"
"Ohk. " Jerome was about to leave the room after hearing the other man saying "ohk". But suddenly his hand got grabbed and he looked at the other man in confusion. "Why not we bath together? Aren't you sweaty too? " That man asked Jerome grinning.
