Dating Her

We were all silent as the dinner began, but I could feel the occasional glances from Arik and Isabella directed at me. I also sensed that anyone of them wanted to speak but couldn't decide where to start.

"Celeste, my dear, I suppose my son gave you a heads up before I even called you regarding this dinner. Is that right?" Mr. William Johnsons initiated the conversation.

I waited for the juice I was drinking to go down before nodding and looking at him.

"Yes, Mr. William. Liam went to my office earlier to inform me, but he didn't say anything else. He just mentioned that it was important."

"I see, that's why you didn't refuse. You couldn't refuse my son, huh?" His voice sounded teasing.

I felt embarrassed.

"Hasn't my son courted you yet, Celeste? I would be happy if that's the case between you two now," added his wife.

Automatically, I turned to look at Arik. It was as if my head had a mind of its own, just to see his reaction.
