''So, when will you two get married?'' Joana asked.
''Huh?'' Mirabel looked at them shocked. Why was everyone talking about marriage? They just really got together a few hours ago.
''Mom, Mira still hasn't finished her school. She has things she needs to do. I will only talk about marriage when she is ready''
''But, you are not getting younger'' Joana stressed on.
''I don't care about my age. I won't do anything that Mira isn't ready for'' he said firmly.
''That's enough. Allow the children to take care of it themselves. Mira, don't think too much into what my wife is saying. It is in won's nature to worry about unnecessary things. You two just got together, enjoy the relationship. Get to know each other better and when you feel it is right, you can settle down''
''Yes, uncle. Aunt, don't worry, I won't keep Joel hanging on for long'' Mirabel said to the woman and she smiled.
''Eat'' Joana said to her.
After the al, they went to the hall and started chatting. Jane picked her gift and went to her room to test it out. She was cheerful as she left.
''This tea tastes so fragrant. Mira, thank you for such a kind gift'' Mark said after sipping the tea that Mira had brought.
''I will get so for Joel to bring ho as long as you like it. This is also my father's favourite tea brand''
''Your parents are lucky to have you. You care so much about their health'' Mark added.
''Eat so of the cut fruits, Mira. I will enjoy your health tonics. Such a thoughtful person'' Joana added.
''Mom, I will take Mira to my room. I want to show her sothing'' Joel took Mira's hand and stood up with her.
''Sure, you two can go ahead. Don't worry about us''
Mirabel blushed as she followed Joel inside. They got to the door and he opened and led her inside and was about to close the door when she stopped him.
''I think it is safe to leave the door open'' Mirabel said nervously.
''Do you think I would suddenly pounce on you?'' he chuckled.
''No, then, you can close it'' she said and turned to look at the room. Joel closed the door and pulled her closer to himself. Her back hit against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
''You''
''Don't worry, I am a gentleman. I won't do anything. I just want to be this close to you. Do you know how stirred up I was when you looked at like that when I was coming down from the stairs? I am happy that you looked at like that. I hope in the future; you will still look at with such eyes''
''Your room is quite big''
''Yes, but I plan to move out soon. The place I'm moving to isn't completed yet''
''Why are you suddenly moving out? I hope it isn't because of ?''
''No, I planned to move out a long ti ago. I am a grown man; I can't keep staying with my parents. First I didn't want to move out because a lot of people don't know this place. Because I love my privacy, I preferred this place but now that I have a woman, I want her to feel free anyti she cos to see . You will be the first to get keys to the new place, whether I am there or not, you are free to do whatever you want''
''Do you trust that much?''
''Yes, because you are my girlfriend'' he said and turned her around to face him. He touched her face and leaned on to kiss her and she closed her eyes.
They stood in that position and kissed until they were both out of breaths and he let go and they laughed.
''Am I been too fast?''
''No, the pace is just right''
''Really?''
''En''
''Co, I want to show you sothing'' he held her hand and they entered another room inside the bedroom. This was where he kept his gaming gadgets. He had two sets, one at the office and one at ho.
''Whoa, is this where you sit to play?'' Mirabel touched the keyboards, ''this is the latest keyboard set that I've always wanted to buy but it is not in the market. How did you get it?''
''A friend of mine works at GB IT. He got it for as a gift on my birthday''
''Whoa''
''Sit down, let teach you a new ga that my friend sent to to taste. It hasn't been released into the market yet''
''What ga is that?''
''It is called a family tree. When you purchase the ga set and install it, you can be able to set up you own dream house, dream family, dream wife and dream kids. Anything you dream off, you can be able to create them. There will be a competition coming up soon to launch the ga. If your dream family wins, you will be rewarded the house of your dream''
''Then, it's going to be a big project''
''Yes, that's why I decided to invest in it''
''You invested in it?''
''Yes. It is sothing that will bring in a lot of profit in the future''
''You really do think ahead''
''A businessman always thinks ahead. He leaned towards her as she sat on the chair and placed his head on her shoulder.
''So, have you started building your dream project?''
''Yes, I started it a few days ago''
''Let see. I want to see your dream wife''
''It's that what you are most curious about?''
''Yes. I want to see if she is prettier than ''
''You will be surprised by her beauty''
''Let see her'' Mira pursed her lips and watched the screen attentively as he logged in. she saw the userna and turned to face him, ''is your userna ''Jomir?''
''Yes, Joel and Mirabel''
''What a cheesy na''
''Cheesy? I love it. Look at her, isn't she just beautiful?''
Mirabel looked at her picture on the screen and asked, ''you when did you get this picture? This is my high school picture''
''I stole it from you the day I went to your house. I saw it in your drawer and fell in love with it''
''You you just keep surprising . if you keep doing this, I might not be able to stop myself from falling for you even more''
''That is what I want. For you to love madly like the way I love you''
''It's this even real? I just feel that this is probably a dream and when I wake up, I will find out everything was a lie''
''Should I wake up then?''
''Huh?'' he suddenly lifted her up from the chair, 'what are you doing?'' he sent her out of the ga room and placed her on the bed.
''I'm trying to wake you up'' he said and she flushed.
''You said you weren't going to do sothing that I am not ready for. What is this?'' she stuttered and closed her eyes.
''Mirabel, you are so gullible'' he said and started laughing at her and she opened her eyes and saw him pulling out a first aid box from his closet and she sat up.
''Did you just trick ?'' she asked and he turned to look at her. he brought the box to the bed and sat beside her.
''You are always doing things that will make misunderstand''
''Your feet are red from the heels you wore all day. Let massage your feet for you'' he lifted her right foot and placed it on his lap. He removed a balm from the box.
''How did you know about that?''
''You are my woman. This is sothing I should know. I am also soone who works in the fashion business, I know won are always trying to look cool by wearing heels but, too much of it harms your feet. You look good in sneakers too, so you should wear more sneakers. Don't try to do things to impress , I like you whether you wear heels or sneakers''
''I don't usually wear heels all the ti. I originally planned to visit your office after ending it with 'my lonely heart beats for you', who would have thought that you were the sa person. You totally got there. I still feel cheated by you''
''That is why I am massaging your feet for you'' he touched her foot and she retreated it.
''Wait, I feel tickles''
''I will be careful'' he pulled her foot back and when he touched her she started giggling.
''Joel, stop. Let do it myself''
''No, I want to do it for you''
''Then, be careful''
''I will''
She continued to giggle as he massaged her foot and he stopped and looked at her, ''stop moving your left about''
''But, I feel tickles''
''My body is reacting to your presence, be careful before I go back on my words''
'Mirabel turned quiet and took her left away. She stood up saying, "I think it's better to stop. It's getting late, I should go ho''
''I think so too'' Joel replied and they both smiled.
