Breakfast.

Tatiana felt her legs give away, Jack noticed and held her still smiling at his parents.

"Tatiana, come here " his mother called. Still holding her, he bought Tatiana closer to his mother. "Oh, she's so pretty "she smiled.

Tatiana pulled a smile as his mother held her hand, "Come sit down and have some breakfast "

She took a seat, "Thank you, madam " she said.

"Don't be shy, you can call me, mother now. That ring makes you family " she said.

Tatiana remembered the ring still on her finger and glanced at Jack.

"You bastard " she mouthed at him.

He chuckled.

"Did you ask for her parent's permission before asking her ?" his father asked while watching his wife fill Tatiana's plate with food.

He nodded, "Yes, Dad. The moment her mother said yes I asked for her hand "

"And her father ?" he asked.

Tatiana looked up, "My father passed away when I was young "

"Oh, that's so bad " his mother holding her hand.

"It's okay, at first it was hard but with time we got used to it " she smiled.

"Don't worry, now that you getting married to him I can be your new father " Mr Avil let out.

She blinked processing what he had said. This was getting so serious every minute that it was sending her brain into overdrive.

"Thank you ....father," she found herself saying.

They both laughed, "That's good, now eat your breakfast "he said.

After their breakfast, she announced her departure.

"Son, drop her before you head to work, " his father said.

"Oh, it's not necessary, father. I can get a taxi "

"It will be hard, sweetie. Let him drive you his your fiance after all " his mother said passing her packages.

"What is this mother ?" she asked.

"Little something from me to you, it's our first meeting I don't want you to leave empty-handed" she smiled pulling her in for a hug.

Tatiana had noticed that she leave for a few minutes during breakfast, was she preparing these?

"I can't accept them, I didn't bring anything and I wasn't even prepared for it " she refused.

"You should take them or I will feel bad that you don't like me at all "

Tatiana grabbed the packages smiling, "Thank you so much, mother "

They laughed waving her goodbye.

...

"Why in all places would you bring me to your parent's home ?" she glared up at him.

He was driving with a smile on his face, "I stay with them but they have been away "

"Oh, then why were they with us at breakfast?" she asked.

"They returned last night and I got to know they were back in the morning "

She sighed, "Is this going to end, if it was only my mother I can manage but now both your parents are involved in our lie. What are we going to do ?"

"Nothing " he answered.

"Nothing? Really ...?" she yelled.

"Yeah"

She felt her hangover get worse rubbing her forehead, "You can leave me there, I can manage from there "
