2 Chapter 2 - A Splendid Family

Marilyn stares at her reflection blankly. "...Its been a while since I've dressed up like this....". She usually only wore a suit to work and greet clients but today she was wearing a black full sleeved shirt with a pair of white skirt, legging and a pair of fancy black heels.

The door bell rings. 'It seems he's here...'. She mentally prepares herself to see the man that can stun the gods and walks out of her room with a polite smile. But as soon as she sees the man, her efforts all go out of the window.

The day before, he had been dressed in semi formals, but today he was dressed casually with a grey shirt thrown over a pair of black jeans. She freezes as she stares at the god standing in front of her, stunned.

"Good Morning, Marilyn." The edges of his lips rise slightly at the sight of her dazed self.

"A-ah. Good Morning." She replies, recovering swiftly.

"Shall we go, then?" He asks.

"Yes." she flashes a polite smile, the kind that you use to hide your inner thoughts.

He looks at her with a glint of amusement in his eyes as he leads her to his car. He opens the passenger side door for her and then slides into the drivers seat.

'A regular inexpensive car.... and no driver...?'

"I think I should tell you a bit about my family before we go there." He says, keeping his eyes on the road.

"I would appreciate it if you did." She replies. 'Even though I already had my men search for information, there's no harm in listening from his mouth directly...'

"My family consists of three. If you are included, that'll be four."

'.....If I am included.....? Don't be so sure, Mister....'

Michael's P.O.V:

Unaware of her thoughts, he continues. "I have a mother and a sister. My mother is extremely friendly and likes all girls, so don't worry about her. My sister, Taylor, is a little naughty. Beware of her pranks. Mum might be a bit overwhelming but otherwise they wont be much of a bother. No need to be nervous."

The girl smiles. "They sound like a splendid family to have."

Michael stops the car and turns to look at her as he says, "They'll be yours soon."

'If we get married, that is.'

He points outside the window. "We're here."

Surprised, the girl looks outside. "Holy cow! That's huge!" She mutters under her breath, looking at the house.

Michael gets down the car, chuckling as she looks around a bit curiously.

"Come on." He places his hand behind her back as he ushers her forward. Slightly dazed, she follows him in.

....

Marilyn's P.O.V:

Just then a silhouette walks out of the house."You're here! Ah, Mickey, you should have brought her here sooner! I've been dying to look at my daughter-in-law!"

'Mic-Mickey?' Marilyn almost chokes when she hears that nickname. She looks at him and tries to associate him with the name but ends up drawing a blank. 'No way... I must have heard wrong....'

Not seeing him answer, his mother asks,"What's wrong, Mickey?"

'Wait! I heard that right?!....'
