“Let’s go” said Val buckling the seat belt. Jack started the car and asked nervously “Will your dad like me?”Val stared at him with amused “I thought you are confident in your looks” said Val mockingly.“I am not talking about looks baby. I mean…Argh!! you don’t understand” said Jack controlling the steering wheel.“Of course I understand because remember I am also meeting your parents after a week or so” said Val gritting her teeth. Now he knows how scared she is to meet his parents. Good for him.Jack chuckled and held her hand “Concentrate on the road Mr. Kelley” but Jack shrugged it off.Finally they reached Ian’s house at half past ten. Jack bought Sara’s favorite flowers and Ian’s favorite wine. Val opened the door and entered to see Sara’s excited face and Ian’s impatient face.Jack saw the huge mansion with luxurious decorum in awe. He never expected Val’s family to be this rich. She looked so simple but looking at her parents mansion, cars and the antique furniture he can co

Val turned around snaking her arms around Jack’s neck facing him and he put his hands around her waist. She smiled at him and said “Thank you”He leaned down and kissed her closing his eyes. Val kissed him back pulling him closer. They lost themselves in the kiss. After kissing for god knows how much time they pulled back with flushed faces gasping for air.“Give me your hand” asked Jack with hoarse voice. Val gave him both hands as she didn’t know which hand he asked. He chuckled and took her left hand. He took a ring from his pocket and put it on her finger and kissed it smiling.Val stared at the plain gold ring with wide eyes. “Wh…What are you do..doing?” asked Val in horror as she took her hand back. What did he mean by that?Jack held her hands and asked “Will you be my girlfriend Vanilla?” looking into her eyes. Val stiffened after hearing his words.“You are mine and I don’t want anyone to have ideas about you so I put this ring on you to show them that you are taken and mine.

“Do you like it baby?” asked Jack hugging Val from behind. They were alone now so she didn’t need to be careful. Val nodded her head leaning on Jack’s chest.The door is opened and WESFA entered the room as they know Jack’s password. “Just stop this PDA. Will you?” said Paul as soon as he saw them hugging.Val immediately pulled away from Jack and smiled at WESFA and greeted them. Rachel came in maroon midi dress which complimented her skin tone. She put on her rose gold jewelry and let her hair down like Val. She seemed perfect for Joseph.“Nice meeting you Val. Can I call you that?” said Rachel and hugged Val. The moment Val saw Rachel she liked her instantly and assumed her as her sister and after hearing her words Val felt so happy.“Of course, you can call me that sister” said Val. Looking at two women getting along well WESFA felt happy. Everyone wished Val and handed their gifts.“Happy Birthday Val, I think I can call you that now” said Zach hugging Val.“We are friends

Jack shook his head and Val went to prepare something to eat while her parents went to their room to give them space.Jack sat on the chair near kitchen counter. Why is she not answering his question? He badly needed a shower as he came straight from the interview so he went to shower. He came down after fifteen minutes and Val served his dinner.After having dinner they both retreated to Val’s room.
