The proposal

It's mid February and mom had already spoke with the Johnson's to invite them to dinner. She already knew that I wouldn't bring a woman home or even a child, so she had decided to get me married to joy Johnson.

  She called me and asked me to come home to have dinner with the Johnson's and then talk about my marriage to their daughter. She didn't forget to remind me to come early so that j wouldn't keep them waiting.

  "Hmmm, how frustrating".

   The Johnson's used to live close to the Wilton's estate. They are not extremely as rich as the Wilton's but they are will to do enough to be at the 3 rank while we stayed at the top, just as always.

 Joy was Mary's friend who would always come visiting. I never liked her because she talks too much and for that reason I always avoid her like she was some sort of sickness.

   How on Earth am I supposed to marry someone that I don't even like?

 I mean not even the slightest. I dislike her to the extent that I dislike her shadows also.

  I really must do something about this, I can't let it happen.

  I knew there was no other way to escape this marriage. The only way to escape this mom's drama was to choose, either i have a child and still enjoy my freedom or I get tied to joy all the rest of my life through marriage.

  And if you should ask me, I will definitely go for the first choice.

  Thanks to my assistant, I got to know that I could have a child without having to impregnate a whore or even bother myself about sleeping with anyone.

   He told me about the surrogacy and linked me up with the top agency. But  due to my reservation at first I haven't thought of proceeding further. But surely after this dinner I have made a decision to contact them.

  Though I could just avoid this dinner and be at home. however, I know how dramatic my mum can be when things don't go the way she plans so I would just go.

  I left work early as asked my driver to drive me straight to the Wilton's estate. The road was really free so we got there early. I got out of the car and straighten my suit and buttoned it before going inside. I could already hear loud laughter as soon as I walked in.

 "Jeeez".

  "Fuck". 

  Now I will have to endure all this.

 I entered the Living room and saw my whole family there, even Mary was also present.

 "Wow, it's a full house today". I commented before going to give me mum a hug.

  Mary also came to hug me and I laughed at her childishness. She still behaves like a child. Sometimes I get to wonder how she takes care of her baby girl when she herself still behaves like a baby.

   Then suddenly my eyes meet with joy, she was smiling sheepishly and wouldn't stop staring at me. It was like her gaze was following me around the room so I decided to go greet her.

  "Hey, joy". I greeted and she gave me that very stupid smile I have very much.

  "Jeezz" .

  I quickly turned away from her and went to site beside my dad.

  "So..... What do you think? My dad asked me as soon as I seat beside him.

  " Dad I don't like her at all". I whisper in response.

  " You seriously don't need to like her now. You will get to learn to love and like her once you are married.

  I looked at my dad and sighed. Then I shook my head in disgust .

  "Learn to love her"?.

  "Dad, I would rather learn to rare cows than learn to love. Not even a girl like joy" 

  I looked at my dad and gave him look that clearly was telling him that I was disappointed.

  "See son, I know you don't like all this arrangement". Dad said switching to his serious mode.

  "But I want you to know that what ever your mom it is that your mum is doing, she is simply doing it for you own good. You are not getting any younger you know".

Dad's gaze went towards Mary and then he continued.

  "Even you younger sister is already happily married and with a beautiful daughter and now she is expecting there second child, and yet you still don't even have a girlfriend".

  My dad placed his hand on my shoulder.

  "Your mum is really concerned about you, and so am I ".

  " I know dad".I replied feeling really bad about being the black sheep of the family. I know both my mum and dad are really worried about me especially since I act differently from the others. But I seriously just can't help it. It's how I feel. When ever I try getting close to any woman apart from my mum and Mary, I get Goosebumps or even worse than that most times.

 "What do I do?.

  I have been to numerous doctors all around the world, but they all find my case to be really strange. They makes it seem like I got a disease that has never been seen in the history of medicine, and I think it's true.

  "Don't worry dear, you will do just fine with joy". I heard my dad say from beside me, startling me back Tomy senses.

  "What?".

   "Dad please, anyone but not her ".

  "Why? " Dad asked.

   " I just......."

 "  What are you both whispering about?" My mum asked standing before me. She was holding my brothers son. (Samuel)

  When did she get here? I wondered. I guess we were to engrossed in the conversation that we didn't notice when she came this close to us.

 "Nothing mum". I said and my dad nodded in agreement.

   Sam smiles for me and for once I wasn't irritated. Which makes me wonder why I don't get such reaction from my family's smiles or even laughter.

  It's kinda strange, really really strange.

  Sam has all my dad's features and that was why he was named after my dad.

 Junior was saying something to my mom and she squatted in front of him, she was smiling happily at whatever Sam had just whispered to her and then his sister came and they continued to discuss. 

  Seeing my mum so happy with Sam and the sister, I made a decision then and there that I would find a way through this . I had the urge of making her this happy too, even if I will have to sacrifice myself to make it happen.

  The maids soon came to tell us that the table was set and we all went to the dinning room. I know the discussion about the marriage will be discussed during or after dinner. So I made myself fully prepared as I approached the dinning table.

   The Johnson's also followed us to the table and I could see joy blushing as she made eye contact with me.

  "Can she just for once stop behaving like a weirdo?".

  This is why I don't like her and also why there won't be any marriage between us.
