Disappointments

  "Hi Nan!" said the guy.

  Two syllables. That's all he said. Yet, it seemed enough to send every girl's heart into a frenzy with that deep sultry voice.

"Oh, aren't you a sight for sore eyes! Take a seat." Nan said as she motioned him to sit across me. His eyes darted on me as he was dawned with the realization of why Nan invited him to lunch.

"I know both of you weren't formally introduced to each other yet but this isn't a secret and I know you two know what I intend to happen."

The guy across me stiffened.

Andrew Chace Levesque. A name I've been made familiar with as both Nan and my Grandma always enthusiastically talk about him and their plans for us in the future. I've seen his face in pictures-both old and recent. But obviously, the pictures don't give this guy's face any justice. He's way more captivating in person.

Jet black hair that was made disheveled on purpose as if he just came out of a shampoo commercial, honey brown eyes, a straight nose, and sexy lips. Not to mention a toned body that's trying to be modest underneath his light blue button down shirt. A tall figure standing around 190 cm in height.

It's such a stark contrast to my ordinary features- a short girl of 160 cm, dark brown hair that passes a bit my waist, hazel eyes, small nose, and full lips. 36B cup on a non- athletic but firm enough body.

"Nan, we've talked about this before. I'm really not seeking for anyone let alone a marriage with someone I barely even know. Besides, I'll soon take over the film company and I want to focus on it." Chace said trying to cut her off.

Wow. That was a mouthful. Although I'm not particularly thrilled with the concept and he's got a point and he's not particularly harsh with his tone, I still felt a bit insulted.

Nan looked at me as if expecting that I'll counter his response. But I might have had a blank look on my face because she started to speak without waiting for me. Asserting her stand on the conversation.

"I'm not rushing you into it but rather easing you up with the idea. Besides,I've made it known eversince you were little kids so I'm expecting you've already warmed up to it." Nan said with a gentle but firm voice.

Chace didn't respond.

I honestly didn't feel burdened with the thought until today. Because it has been talked about since childhood, it felt something normal and will inevitably happen. It didn't occur to me that I can protest or say no.

The silence concluded the end of our lunch. We headed towards opposite directions as I prepare to tackle the rest of my day like any other usual days.
