Episode 2: The arrangement of the engagement
Soon there were the sound of tires squealing
Lucas
Lucas roughly pulled into the luxurious grand mansion recklessly almost knocking over one of the maids and a few garden flowers. He parked his car and got out , slamming the door in the process. He was in a very bad mood.
Lucas
Lucas walked into his home with a scowl on his face, still clutching his aching groin. He looked around to see if his parents were home then stormed up to his bedroom.
Lucas
He flopped down onto his bed. He was still fuming, muttering to himself as he kicked off his shoes."Damn it!" He muttered, wincing in pain from that kick Lillyann put on him earlier.
Lucas
He just lay there. His thoughts still lingered on Lillyann. He couldn't believe how she'd stood up to him today. He'd never expected her to fight back.
Lucas
Soon there were a knock on his bedroom door."What....?" He yelled annoyed
Mother
"Lucas can I come in? His step mother's voice coming through the door.
Lucas
Lucas groaned but couldn't refuse. "Fine....woman, just make it quick!" He said with annoyance thick in his voice.
Mother
His step mother opened the door and stepped inside the room
Lucas
"What is it you need? I'm busy here."
Mother
"Well...ummm, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be having some guest over and your father wants you to join us." She said nicely
Lucas
Lucas rolled his eyes. The last thing he wanted was to be around people. But he knew his father would get mad if he refused. "Fine, fine....I'll be there!" He grumbled. "Just give me a few minutes."
Mother
"Oh, and wear something nice." His step mother said as she proceeded to leave
Lucas
Lucas sighed."Yeah, yeah. I got it."
Lucas
He got up and headed to his closet and got out a very formal suit. and got dressed he comb through his messy black hair with his fingers. He walked out of his bedroom and made his way to the living room, where his parents were.
Father
His father noticed him and motioned for him to come over. "There you are, son!"
Lucas
Lucas reluctantly walked over to his father
Father
"Lucas, I'd like you to meet some of my business associates. His father said patting his back." This is Mr. and Mrs. Miller, they have a daughter too....she'll be with us soon."
Lucas
Lucas plastered a fake smile and shook hand with the Millers, barely paying attention to his father's words. Then, his ears perked up as he heard the mention of a daughter. "She's here? He asked trying to sound nonchalant.
Mother
His step mother nodded and turned towards the couch where the girl were
Lucas
Lucas followed her gaze and felt a pang of surprise and fear as he saw who it was. It was her, Lillyann. His eyes widened momentarily, taken aback by her presence. He started to panic.
Lucas
He composed himself, try not to freak out. What are you doing here? Are you going to exposed me? Try to tear me apart? He thought to himself as his mind was racing.
Mother
Soon his step mother stop his thoughts, by calling Lillyann. "Come here and say hi, dear."
Lillyann
"Yes, Mrs. Russ!" Lillyann stood up and walked over to them, with a fake polite smile on her face.
Lucas
Lucas couldn't believe she was acting all prim and proper.
Lillyann
"Hi, my name is Lillyann Miller! I'm a transfer student at your school". She said putting out her hand glaring at him.
Lucas
"Lucas!" Lucas said glaring at her coldly as he shakes her hand roughly. He had to be on his best behavior, if he mess up, there is no telling what she could do to him.
Lily's Mother
"Goodie! I told you they would get along just fine, Anna." Mrs. Miller said smiling at the two
Mother
"Oh, fine...indeed!" Anna giggles. "Oh! We should start dinner!" She said leading everyone to the dinner table.
Lucas
Lucas, let's go of Lillyanns' hand and rubbed it against his sleeve, following his step mother Anna to the dinning hall
Lillyann
As Lucas let go, Lillyann looked at him remaining silent as she followed everyone's lead to the dinner table.
Mother
"Oh, no...dear sit next Lucas. You two look good together! Don't they Charles?" She said looking at her husband.
Father
"Sure, hun.....you can say that!" Charles said sitting besides Lillyann's father Nicky.
Lucas
Lucas frown. "You must be kidding me, dad...I have a girlfriend...Sarah. Apparently you don't remember her....wait are you guys fucking trying to set me up with this girl?" Lucas was stunned, were they really serious. He has a girlfriend, they'd been together for almost three years now, he loved Sarah. Plus he will never fall for a cry baby like Lillyann.
Father
"Lucas, how many times do I have to tell you that we're a family of status, we have to be with people of status....stop embarrassing me." He sighs. "Sarah, is a low live....."
Lucas
"I should have known something is wrong.... right? Why am I here? Why are they here?" He said mad.
Lillyann
Lillyann looked at him then back at her parents. "Why?" She said softly and confused.
Lily's Mother
"Lillyann, Honey I can explain!"
Lily's Father
"This is the best way, Lily petal!"
Lillyann
"Huh!" She said confused and more confused
Father
"An arrangement, we're two very high and powerful families, right? Heavens, imagine what we could do as one family right." Charles said taking a wiff of his cigarette.
Lily's Father
"We already agreed on it....an arrange marriage.... you guys will be 18 soon anyways, dear." Nicky said agreeing with Charles, while looking back at Lillyann.
Mother
"You two will be so cute together!" Anna smiles brightly
Lily's Mother
"You don't mind, do you now....sweetheart?" Laurah said looking at her worryingly.
