Introduction (chapter Twenty-eight)

The nerves of her.

June gives out her most convincing smile to her introduction, siding her head to her man who dares not stay sit. He rushes to her compelling eyes , settling between the women. Sure a second more June will have her beaten.

"June meet ms Bella, a patient of mine and ms Bella this is my fiance June " with his introduction came his hands hooking June's waist. Titling her rights over him.

Clearly June isn't please with her appearance. She's the opposite of her, cool and calm with nice average height that men seek in women. The attraction to women beneath them, fancied her mind, she isn't that tall to his height but the gap is little in comparison to her height.

Seeing his ex she wonders what pulled him to like her when she's nothing to his previous preference.

"Shall we?" She asked.

They had plan a date so she came to pick him for it. He grabs his essentials and leaves with her.

Bella in pause to the scene unfolds , got a startle out by James.

"They look cute together don't you think?. Guess it all thanks to you, if you hadn't left then he would have never met the love of his life, a perfect beautiful soul"

Bella lends out a wary smile while her nails stabs the depth of her palmin . With no respond to his taunts she follows out.

Inside the elevator, her memory skipped to their days in college and how sweet he used to be with her and James being friendly towards her. Those were the times she has live on ,and it hurt to have it gone due to a choice she made.

She's seen as selfish but what could she do at that time?, be in-depth in love and hold herself back from progress. She only got into such high institute on scholarship and the girls then could not let it pass her for a second. The mockery of her lifestyle and poor background was a burden on her head. Being bullied by her roommates was a silence to her.

She took the first opportunity that came her way, that time she had a family that depended on her, a living expenses. If they see her choice as wrong then what's right?.

Honestly she came back for her current condition but most she hope to get back with him, not a day passed that she didn't miss him. And she isn't gonna lie, it hurts to see another by his side or his hands caressing another.

"So you're the girl that got him acting out of the ordinary" a mother said with clock gaze at Dora that's on the hot seat with narrowed eyes.

When he asked her to meet his parents she did not vision it to be like this, at best she thought it to be simple or casual. But here she's in the mist of elders staring and cupping her chin and cheeks like that of a little one.

The tall frame woman with beautiful eyes and flat nose whom she detect as his mother as they shares a look of eyes and speaks in digit. She smooths in with smiles of familiarize , she has served her fourth to five dishes since her arrival, wooing in with questions about herself.

She feels awkward with all the crowd. Well she doesn't not blame her, she only wants to show off her son's fiancee out to her colleagues and that's okay. At least they're nice and friendly than her mom's friends who only chat about currencies and latest fashions.

"When did you know he's your fiance?" One asked taking the flat bread to her colored lips.

They're all curious to hear her side of the story, when their friend told them about her son's disguise to win his fiancee heart , they awe at it and felt so connected.

"A month and a half" Dora respond getting a squeal of the other woman at the far corner of the table. By looks she's the youngest yet by age she's next to the eldest after one with gray strays.

"And when you found out what did you do?"

"Were you surprise?"

"And did got mad or happy?. I know I would have been happy"

"That's enough ladies, don't scare my future daughter-in-law away" Edward mother known as Grace balls in with a save. She lend her warmth hands on Dora's, greasing on the back of her hands.

"I don't have a daughter before and I've always wondered what it would be like. Dear if not much can I be your mother, you don't have to address me as one if you don't feel like. I just want to own the rights to call you as my daughter"

Without much hesitant her hands goes in for Grace's body, clutching in her lavender fragrance.

"You can call me any name you want mom" they both feel good about the outcome. This is the love she has always want from her mother, if only she can be as sweet as Edward's mother.

….

"Tomorrow is your birthday, how do you plan on celebrating" June frown on the topic.

"I'm not celebrating it. Eat your food" she lash out. Her hate might have gone but it still stands as the day she lost her world, the day of ill fate and so she doesn't celebrate it, not once in the last nineteen years.

"Not even a little get together" he force in , annoying her even more.

"How about you, why didn't you tell me about her?" She fake a frown at him, pushing the table to his side.

" Of all the doctors she could seek help from why does it has to be you?. What's her purpose?" This time her tone is out of the fun box, she has still her body movement on his. 

"Are you jealous?"

Oh you smart ass, just wait am firing back at you soon, Just wait. Her thought run through with roll eyes.

"Nope, am just curious to know what's wrong with her" she lied

"I can't tell, it by my principle to keep every conversation between my patients and I secret"

She isn't surprised, he's a man of standards , such is expected of him.

She smiles it off, turning to the side glass in view of the kids playing with crackers and night sparks.

She walks her way to them and grab a packet of sparks and lights it to blaze. He watches her play with the kids in ring circle, shaking their feet and waist to the guitar played by the man on the side road, fetching money in his cap sits on the road.

It amazes him how she can be all the characters, cute, innocent,sweet ,wild, crazy and friendly.

His lips wild , to see the child in her hands being lifted in the dark sky. He wonders over their own future and family.

She would definitely be a great mother.
