The Best Of Us

"Where are you going?" Penelope asked as she sat up and covered her body with her blanket as she watched me put on my clothes

"This was lovely but I have something important to do tonight" I answered as I zipped my trousers up.

"More important than me?" she asked, making me look back at her. She was now pouting like a little girl. I smirked and leaned towards her.

"Yes" I answered, fading the pout off her face and replacing it with a dumbfounded look.

"Ass" she said as she got her underwear and began putting them on. I rolled my eyes and buttoned my shirt then proceeded to put my shoes on

"You gonna call me?" she asked as she leaned on the side of her door and waited for me

"Of course sweetheart" I said before planting a kiss on her. However, my plans of planting her a quick kiss changed when she deepened the kiss and pulled my hand and placed it on her left boob. Jesus.

As much as I wanted to stay and do her for another hour or so, I can't.

"Let's do this again sometime, yeah?" I said upon pulling out of her kiss and practically running out of there.

The skies were now dark I didn't even notice it was raining.

As soon as I reached the street, I took my phone out and like I expected, 21 missed calls from my grandma and 2 from my dad.

Where are you?  Dad texted. I placed my phone back in my pocket and began flagging a cab.

Thankfully I flagged one soon before everyone starts ringing my phone up again.

If only this was a normal day.

But it isn't.

Today is the day that we get to meet Katherine's daughter.

Katherine is my dad's girlfriend, and a couple of weeks earlier, my dad proposed to her.

So technically, Katherine is now my dad's fianceé.

Don't get me wrong, I like Katherine.

It's just that she's not my mum.

And I don't think I could already accept the fact that dad's moving on and is already planning on marrying another woman.

As soon as I got to my house, I rushed inside, making sure that I don't leave muddy puddles on the floor or else grandma will kill me.

I neared the dining room and I heard everyone talking.

Maria and William were arguing about kid stuff, and grandma and dad were busy talking to Katherine.

"I'm sorry I'm late" I said as I took my coat off then leaned to kiss grandma and Katherine.

"It's alright, dear. Take a seat" grandma said.

I searched the table for an empty seat before spotting the one next to the stunning red head who briefly made eye contact with me.

"Ohh by the way, Sadie" dad said as he swallowed his wine "This is my son, Archie"

Sadie. What a beautiful and unique name.

"He's the same age as you" Grandma added

I eyed her, memorizing every single detail on this gorgeous woman before flashing her a smirk then held my hand out.

"Pleasure" I said before taking her hand to kiss it while making eye contact.

And if I'm not mistaken, her cheek turned slightly red.

"Pleasure's all mine" she answered.

I don't know how long we were staring at each other, but it must have been quite long for everyone to start clearing their throats.

"Well, now that we're all here, why don't we start the wedding planning?" grandma suggested. I rolled my eyes but thankfully no one seemed to notice as I was busy putting food on my plate.

"We can do that later, mum. Let's just have a nice family dinner for now" dad said, making grandma slightly pout.

Looks like everyone's on board with dad getting married.

I mean, everyone except me.

I just have to figure out if this gorgeous person beside me is also on board or not.
