Landon POV
After that fun meeting with Editor Ashley, we went shopping for clothes. The continuation of our "date." Also, our mother's wanted us to get a new outfit for the party. Well more accurately her words as I was walking out the door; "OOH. I hope you guys fine a couple outfit that will be so cute."
We walk into A shop, this store many celebrities goes to and you can only shop here if you have an appointment. Which is difficult to get one.
"Hello, welcome to A shop. How can I help you." Employee greeted them.
"Good afternoon, I have an appointment under Kang for two people." Elliott told them, when and how did he even get the appointment? Also for a weekend, and at the last minute! I'll just ask him later.
"Ooh! Yes, Mr. Kang. You are right now time for your appointment. We will just take you upstairs to your dressing room." The employee guide us upstairs to our dressing room.
We arrive in a private waiting place with the dressing room in front of it. The worker told us to sit, while they get the clothes.
"Wow our on private room. Also how did you even get an appointment so last meet on a weekend?" I look at Elliott showing a "what the heck" face.
"I just called made an appointment. They had an opening." He just casual said. Sure they had an opening. A high-end shop like this not busy.
"Sure even I know that's a lie and I don't even come to this shop." I mock him, showing them that I don't believe him.
"Believe whatever. Also you never been here, after 7 years of working as a national Actor?" He look at me not believing my words. I just shake my head and laugh.
"I get clothes from this shop or designers send me clothes to my house. Though it's mostly my stylist getting me the clothes and picking them up." I tell him. It's not that I don't like shopping, it's just I don't have time and I just don't feel like wasting a rest day to shop for clothes.
"I see. Well your stylist will have and easier job you, because you'll be wear my mother clothes a lot now." He comment as he look at me up and down. I just nod at him because there wasn't anything else to say. It makes sense since why he said that, because I am her son in law, and she would want to show off with letting me wear her designs during formal events.
"Sorry for the wait. Here is the clothes you have pick Mr. Kang." The employee came back with two outfits. The clothes had the same colors but the styles are different.
"You pick out the clothes? Since when?" I ask him. He just smiled and nod. I started to smile feeling grateful for the how much times he took to make this appointment, and pick the clothes.
"Thank you. We will try them on, and I think we will be fine trying them on ourselves." Elliott told the employee getting the clothes from the employee.
"Okay, please press the button on the table, if you need help or anything else." The employee bow and close the door as she leaves.
"Here. This is for you, get change in the dressing room. And I'll just change here." Elliott hand me, the clothes he pick for me.
I change into the clothes and I looked in the mirror. Wow this is my style, the dark navy long sleeve crew neck with black suspenders. Paired with black slim suit pants and dress shoes. I wonder what Elliott pick what to wear.
I walk out of the dressing room seeing Elliott in a black turtle neck, black slim pants, and black shoes. I saw the dark navy blazer that came with the outfit. I grab it and help him dress.
"Wow! We are matching but it's not notable that it was plan." I said looking at our appearance.
"Yeah my husband looks very handsome in the clothes I pick." I blush and look way when he said husband because it feels weird to hear that in person.
"You look nice too." I shyly said as I was looking at my shoes.
"Now, the hairstyle can come in." Elliott calls out and a group of people came and grab me to fix me up. As the same for Elliott. Once we were done, Elliott came to me when I was done.
Elliott smile and grab my hand. "Let's go. We have a party to attend." We walk out the waiting room, Elliott paid and we left.
—Landon Family Estate—
When we got back to the house, from the entrance we could tell many people was there already. Elliott stretch his arm out for me to take like a woman walking into a ball with her escort. I look at him and push him away as I walk ahead with a blush. As I am walking away Elliott is calling out to me.
I stop and wait for him since my family and his knew I would be coming with him. So to avoid unwanted questions, it was best to just walk to our families together.
"Finally, you stop." Elliott catches up to me. It's not like I was going to leave him. I need to be with him, so no one will question me.
"Well, then don't joke around in public. We are suppose to act like we are just friends. Not an engage couple." I told him. Reminding him about our agreement.
"While from the way you are acting in reality, we do still look like a friendship rather than an engagement." I glared at him as he said that. It's not like I could change my feelings and ideas. I am so use to us being childhood friends and thinking I can marry whoever I want. I can't change my mind in just two days. Plus I don't feel anything for Elliott. (Author note: not yet you don't feel anything )
"I am sorry. I can't change much in two days." I told him, as I grab his hand so we can greet our families.
We are moving through the waves of people, and by the roses garden I see our family. I speed up our pace and arrived in front of my grandparents and Elliott grandparents.
"Good evening elder Kang, Madam Kang, grandpa and grandma." I bow as I greeted both sets of grandparents.
"Hello, grandpa, grandma, grandpa Lee, and grandma Lee." Elliott bows greeting them in a more familiar tone.
"Hey who are you called grandma and grandpa in public." I whisper/yell at Elliott. I think he really wants to make be stress tonight after a whole day of affection.
He just winks and blows me a kiss before he rises his head. I rise my head also as I stare at him want to bite his lips off for the kiss.
"My Landon, you can call us grandparents no need to be formal." Elliott grandma said to me.
"Ooh yes. Thank you for allowing me to be treated as part of the family." I smile and thank her.
"Well we are family now. And I am so glad you will be part of it." Grandpa Kang said I smile showing my appreciation.
"Thank you again." I tell him.
"Sorry, we could come to dinner yesterday. We were coming back from a trip." Grandma told me feeling sincerely sorry.
"It's fine. We see each other offense. And plus we are now family." I try to tell her it was fine. She smile and nods okay.
"Well I hope you enjoy the party, I have to greet my parents still." I bow to them as I left. Leaving Elliott to talk to the elders.
"Landon!" I turn around we see who is calling me. And I saw it was my uncle Adam walk next to him is his spouse Nathen.
"Hello uncles. I haven't seen you for a while." I bow my head and I greeted them.
"Ooh. Yeah we have been looking at adoptions center. So we been busy trying to adopt a little girl or something." Uncle Adam said. Wait adoption is okay to do? I though we can't have kids? I'll just ask my parents later.
"I see." I just nod not knowing what to say.
"So what is your brother's announcement?" Uncle ask me.
"Oh I don't know they called me to come this weekend because they were having a party and wanted to announce something. I haven't ask because I been so busy so I don't know." I tell him. I don't mean to lie to him. Though maybe it would be a good thing to tell him the truth since he went through, what I am going through right now.
"Okay well it was nice to see you byee." I bow and left.
I walk up toward my parents and I see that Elliott was already with them.
"Hey Mom and Dad. I am here." I tell them.
"Hi honey! How was your date?" I blush when she ask me this feeling a little embarrass. As soon as she sees me she asks that. Catching me off guard and everything.
"It was nice." I was not lying we treated like we were just hanging out. Which was nice. And a made me think that it could work out between us, our whole marriage.
"That's good. I hope everything falls into place. And they you two will love each other wholeheartedly." My mother said showing her true feelings.
"Okay mom don't worry, everything is fine. I will just keep working harder for Landon." Elliott said to my mother as he hand me some food and a drink.
My mother saw his gestures and smile as she nods.
"Yes, I don't have to worry I know you will take great care of Landon. And I am happy that we were able to have you marry him." Mother show him how grateful she was to have him be with me.
"No I am honor to be with my best friend." He said as he hugs me from behind and smiles.
"Yes, while I think since everyone is finally here it is time for Chris to make his announcement." My father finally said something since I greeted them. And he turn toward my brother and signals him to go to the stage.
My bother walks to the stage with his wife in his arms. And stops at the center. He pull her closer to him by the waist. And speaks into the mic.
"Hello everyone thank you for coming to day. I hope everyone is enjoying their night." My brother starts. Everyone cheer in responds.
"I would like to make an announcement. That my wife and I are pregnant. But we haven't found out the gender yet we want it to be a surprise! So please give us your blessings for the child safe birth." My bother lift up his glass and cheers with everyone.
Then the party got more lively and so the night went on. After a few hours I started to grow tired and started to lean on Elliott for support.
"Are you tired?" He ask as I hug his arm. I nodded to tired to respond with words.
"Okay let's go to my house, since it will be awhile before anyone leaves your house. Going to me house would be more quiet to sleep at." I just nod. Already half asleep and lazy to protest with him.
"Let's go tell you parents, we are leaving." I just mumble and okay in responds.
"Mother, I am going to go first." I told her really sleepily. She looks at me and sees how I am cling on to Elliott like a sleepy child.
"I will take him with me since there are still a lot of people here. I think he need a quiet place to rest after all the things been going on." Elliott said to mother. As he shifted me to just hold me hand.
"Okay. I hope you guys drive safely and have a good night rest. I will see you guys tomorrow." Mother have as permission to leave. Elliott and I leave with out hands holding.
