After spending a little more time admiring the night sky and relishing the moment in each other's arms, we returned to the vehicle. This time, I was not filled with feelings of being overwhelmed or sadness; instead, I felt a profound sense of happiness, even joy.
Upon arriving in front of my house, I embraced Oliver's uncle once again. He requested that I call him Uncle Vincent, as he now considers me part of the family. Uncle Vincent and I engaged in conversation for a short while until I noticed my sisters emerging from the house, carrying several pieces of luggage and bags. Shortly thereafter, Olivia and Oliver exchanged fist bumps.
In that instant, everything became clear. This had all been orchestrated by them. Everyone, except for me, had been aware of the plan from the very beginning. I chuckled as my sisters exchanged knowing winks in my direction. Oliver bid farewell to his uncle before driving away.
After watching his car disappear from view, we entered the house. I guided Oliver to a guest room and assisted him in unpacking his belongings. Our vacation had finally commenced, and Oliver had managed to arrange his stay with us. After settling the girls into bed, Olivia, Oliver, and I enjoyed movies together until well past midnight.
THE FOLLOWING MORNING:
I was enjoying a peaceful slumber when I sensed a soft, pillow-like pressure against my forehead. As I gently opened my eyes, I realized it was Oliver's lips that had brushed against my skin. He greeted me with a smile, the sunlight streaming in through the open curtains behind him.
"Is it really you, the same person who used to tease me? You look quite adorable," he laughed.
"And you still remain my little Shorty," I replied with a chuckle.
Just as I was about to lean in for a kiss, Amanda, Amber, and Olivia entered the room.
"Could you please close the door, lovebirds? Some of us here are still single," Olivia remarked with a smirk, her arms crossed.
They exited shortly after, with Amanda shutting the door behind them. I got out of bed and proceeded with my morning routine, music blaring in the bathroom. Once I was dressed, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
Upon my arrival, I found Amanda tidying up the living room, Amber sweeping the floor, Oliver arranging the silverware on the dining table, and Olivia preparing breakfast. I was puzzled by the flurry of activity, considering we were the only ones at home.
Everyone was focused on their tasks in silence. I approached Olivia, observing her as she plated the breakfast.
"Liv, what’s happening? Why is everyone cleaning, and why the elaborate meal? Who is visiting?" I inquired, to which she simply smiled.
"Some special guests are coming, and the house needs to be immaculate. By the way, could you please make the bed in the master bedroom and sweep afterward? Those are the only tasks I didn’t manage to complete." I looked at her, somewhat bewildered.
Nevertheless, I headed upstairs. I had little else to occupy my time, and everyone else was preoccupied. So, I followed her instructions and assisted where I could afterward.
As I finished sweeping, the doorbell rang. I hurried downstairs, eager to discover who had arrived.
