Chapter 3

Setting A Wedding Date

Reina's POV

The engagement ended successfully and now it was just our parents and the Travoltas in the dining room.

"So when should we set up the wedding date?" My mom was the first to ask.

"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the couples themselves" Mr Travolta replied enthusiastically and then, all eyes were on me and Anderson.

Anderson looked at me and I looked at him back. Those eyes.....he would always look at me affectionately which made my heart skip.

"I don't know. Anything Reina says" he said ever so gently making my heart skip.... again.

"Reina?" My mom called.

"Um...uh..I don't know mom_. Just then Dane walked in.

He elegantly pulled a chair and sat down. The maid took it as cue to serve him.

"Oh hello honey. We were just discussing your brother's and Reina's wedding" Mrs Travolta spoke fondly to him.

"And somehow they're unable to come up with a date" Mr Freeborn said.

"When do you think they should get married?" Mr Travolta asked him.

Dane looked up from his food, put down the cutlery and said a little bit uninterested, "I don't know dad. It's their wedding not mine." Having said this, the temperature in the room dropped and everywhere was silent. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here.

"I know but do you have any suggestions?" Mr Travolta asked him again.

"I don't" he replied. "Excuse me" he said as he strode out of the dining room to take his leave. And just like that, the atmosphere became even more tense.

"Um...uh ..mom? How about after my college graduation?" I broke the silence.

"After your graduation? But that'll be in three years time" my mother said shocked.

"I know mom but I don't want to be married while I'm still attending school" I said.

"What's wrong with it?" My mom asked not understanding my point.

"It's embarrassing" I said.

"Rei__

"Well well there's no need getting worked up. If that's what she truly wants then fine. After her college graduation" Mr Travolta said and I couldn't be more grateful.

"And are you fine with it, Anderson?" Mrs Travolta asked.

"Of course mom. Anything she says" Anderson agreed.

"We'll be taking our leave now" my dad informed.

"Sure. I just hope Reina would come visit from time to time" Mr Travolta asked.

"Of course she will" my dad replied.

******************************************

We got home in the evening and I immediately went straight to my room. I took my bath and changed into my pajamas. Just then my nanny walked in.

"Dear, should I serve you something to eat maybe snacks?" My middle aged nanny asked me.

"No nanny. I'm full. We ate a delicious meal at the Travolta mansion" I told her.

"Okay then, goodnight" she said after giving me a kiss on the forehead.

Just when she was about to reach for the door knob, I called her, "um nanny?"

"Yes dear.... anything else?"

"Is it possible to like two brothers at the same time?" I asked to which her brows furrowed in a confused way.

"Why do you ask?" She asked me back

"Um...I saw the tweet online and decided to ask you" I lied.

"I don't know. It's quite possible though. But I don't think it's possible to like both of them equally. She likes one more than the other only that she might not know which one yet. Goodnight dear" and she went out.

My mind drifted to the Travolta brothers again. I remembered how Anderson looked up at me from downstairs...,his smile..and his affectionate gaze at the dining table. I couldn't help but sigh.

Then my mind drifted to Dane. His aloof and distant behavior. How he didn't seem interested in the topic as a whole...., how he didn't talk until when his attention was needed. And...how he stood tall in front of the portrait....how our eyes met. I still remembered how handsome he looked....his long legs in those well tailored trousers...his perfectly shaped brows, his pointed nose and his lips. And I couldn't help but sigh... again.
