Do you like my dad?

"To see my grandfather".

"Huh"?

'Why am I suddenly going to see his grandfather'?

I thought to myself. I don't believe I've ever met his grandfather before and I didn't think I'd ever have the need to. I have always heard that grandfathers of wealthy families are usually very arrogant and proud. I was definitely not ready to deal with that.

"He is having a little gathering and I'd want you to meet him. I want to introduce you to him as my girlfriend".

He said and my crazy heart began beating fast again. I already knew he was just saying that but why my heart kept feeling it was real, I'd never understand.

He kept looking at me as I kept looking at him too until we heard an unexpected knock on the door. Whoever it was didn't wait for a response before rushing in.

"Dad, great-grandfather asked me to come over tomorrow..."

Kay said as he rushed in but stopped as soon as he saw Nadia.

"I thought you were going to your uncle's place".

Jason said and Kay sat.

"I was going to, but then, I got a message from Grandpa and decided to pack up so I could go with you".

He then looked at me unpleased and continued speaking.

"But I guess I'll just go with Uncle instead".

Gradually, I was beginning to feel I would definitely not get along with Jason's son. I already heard from Kanada that he was an adopted child but he was well loved by his grandparents and his great-grandfather. The funny thing is I already liked him from the first day we met. I loved his white hair and the fact that he looked calm and handsome but I guess he doesn't feel the same way about me.

"I'm actually glad you are here".

Jason said which made both myself and Kay turn to look at him.

"We can all go together".

"Huh"?

"Huh"?

We both asked at the same time, making us look at each other and immediately look away.

Jason smiled at their behavior. For some reason, he just knew that they would get along so well. They looked like two people who didn't even want to see each other right now, but he knew they'd get along soon enough.

With that thought in mind, he stood up, making the two people sitting to look at him.

"Well, since that is concluded, I'll let you both go ahead and pack your bags".

Jason said as he began walking out of the study.

"We leave very early so wake up fast".

He said and left for his room.

Right now, it was just me and Kay. He said nothing and just kept glaring at me.

"What, what, what? Why do you keep looking at me like that"?

I asked as I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Do you like my dad"?

He asked in a very calm voice. I know he wasn't Jason's biological son, but he definitely acted like Jason a lot and to make things worse, I heard that he was very smart.

"Of course, if I didn't like him, I wouldn't be dating him".

"That's not true".

He countered still sounding calm.

"Many ladies before you have tried very hard to get my dad to marry them. Some even lied about being pregnant".

He said and sat straight, folding his hands and crossing his legs.

"Do you think all those girls actually liked him, or were they just doing that to boost their status"?

I knew what he meant and suddenly, it dawned on me. All this time, I thought he was being distant and rude because he felt I'd take his dad's attention away from him but it seems the reason why he was like this was because he was worried about his dad. He was scared that women only approached his dad because they wanted the title of Mrs O'Brien and he felt I was just like that.

Kay waited for Nadia to reply and just when he was about to conclude that she was just like the others, he heard her laughing. This act made Kay raise a brow.

"What's funny"?

"Hold... hold on for a minute, so all this while, it's not like you did not like me"?

I asked just to confirm.

"Why would I like or dislike you when I barely even know you"?

"Waw!!! Jason definitely has an impressive son".

I said almost to myself but I'm sure he heard as his attention was fully on me. I looked at him as seriously as he was looking at me and then, with my back slightly bent and my hands on my thigh, I looked at the young boy who sat so elegantly in a domineering posture and said.

"Well, if that's what you are thinking, get rid of that thought. I don't know about how much I love your father yet, but I do know that I would definitely not do anything to hurt him".

Kay listened carefully to everything that Nadia said and even if he didn't show it, deep down, he knew she wasn't lying. He might be young but he knows very well when people are trying to take advantage of another person and he knew Nadia was one of those people who wanted to take advantage of his dad.

After saying what I had to say, I tapped my thigh, rose, and looked at Kay who was now looking up to see me.

"Well then, if we are done here, I'll be on my way. Bye!!"

I said and immediately rushed out. When I closed the door to his study, I looked at the door and then said to myself.

"What? Love? Did I just say I don't know how much I loved him"?

I kept talking to the door.

"Ha... Hahaha stupid stupid stupid you Nadia".

I said and began walking away. I could not believe I had used the word love.

I got to my room, packed my things, and all night, I kept convincing myself that I did not love Mr. Jason O'Brien.
