Chapter 92: Family Bond

Davis Pov

It was a thing of Joy to see how happy everyone in the family was. I really hope things will get better.

It was evening, the weather was cold and calm. The trees in the house were covered up with snow. The thought of me getting married tomorrow. I was finally going to be officially married to Olivia. I was happy we were able to get here.

I brought out a cigarette. Whenever I'm that happy I take that. I surveyed the area. The thoughts of everything that had happened a d where I was now. I knew there was still a long way to go.

Not quite long, Emily came out with her cousins. “We will be right back Dad.”

I usually don't ask where she is going. I stopped that because I felt I wasn't supposed to know everything. But I was scared of the bad people around me and I didn't want anything to happen to her.

I guess she saw the expression on my face. “Yeah, we're going to the gym.” I said.

It seems she read my mind. “Alright, you guys should be safe. The driver should take you guys there.”

“Nah, I will go with the car myself.” Emily said.

I knew Emily always wanted to have her way. I wasn't going to let her this time. “You know the snow is too much, the road will be slippery, it's better the driver takes you guys.”

“Dad, why are you looking at us as kids, we can handle ourselves right?” Emily directed the questions to her cousins.

“Hope you took your phone with you? And be careful, don't drive at speed.” I warned her.

“I will do just as you've said Dad, you don't have to worry.” Emily said, as she pecked me on my cheeks.

They all rushed to the car, after a while they drove away. My little Emily was growing up and I knew I had to reduce the way I control her no matter how hard it seems.

I felt the nicotine coursing Into my vein as I took a long drag of the cigarette. While still thinking about tomorrow's event I was suddenly scared. I was scared if I was going to always be good to Olivia. I really didn't want things to change when we got married. I sighed before taking one last drag on the cigarette before throwing it away into the snow.

I had to walk back into the house, Olivia was alone with Grandma and Pa. As soon as I walked in, Olivia caught my eyes. Her smile was so bright. I only imagined what they must have been talking about.

I decided to walk towards them, “Hope I didn't miss anything?”

“Nothing much, we've just been talking about how the wedding will be tomorrow.” Olivia's eyes sparkled as she said that to me. I knew she always wanted that and I was happy I was able to make it happen.

“It will be nice,” I said.


Emily's Pov

I drove carefully making sure I obeyed my Dad's instructions. “You should drive faster, you're driving too slow.” Micheal said.

“Actually, the car is moving so slow, we'll get tired before getting there.” Joanna said,

“I don't know how fast you guys want me to drive. This speed is okay for us to get there.” I said.

“Or you don't know how to drive huh?” Joanna said.

“Come on guys, she's just obeying instructions guys, let's not drive speed.” Rachel said, with her tiny voice.

We finally got to the gym. People were much tripping in and out of the gym. I looked around to my surprise Rebbeca was there with her crush. “I knew it, I knew she likes this guy yet she will never admit it.” I muttered.

“What guy?” Micheal asked.

I ignored him. We walked to another direction in the gym.

I was still surprised to see Rebbeca. “Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised.”

We all looked around. Everyone was interested in different activities. I stood at a spot while Rachel and Joanna went to the treadmills, they laughed out loud while chatting and started their runs.

Micheal was still looking round. He went for the weights, I watched him as he lifted heavy barbells.

I looked in a direction, I knew I wanted to do something different. My attention was drawn to the dance studio. I saw some ladies who were in group fitness class. I lost myself to the rhythm and walked towards that direction.

While dancing I was also watching Joanna and Rebbeca. My attention also went to Rebbeca and her crush who were flirting. While Michael on the other hand was lifting heavier weights. I had no idea it was that strong. He was sweating profusely, he didn't stop until he was done with his set.

“I wasn't concentrating on the dance anymore. I think it's better if I just watch them.” I muttered.

I sat on a couch, flinging the key in my hand up and down as I watched them. Joanna and Rachel were still on the treadmills. Their feet were going on the same beat. They were enjoying every moment they were having.

I was sweating profusely so I decided to walk towards the washroom. I needed to wash up as I was smelling of sweat. I walked to the locker as I got a towel. I wrapped it around my chest. “You want to hit the shower.” a familiar voice said from behind.

As I turned to see who had that familiar voice to my surprise it was Mason. “Oh my goodness, what are you doing here?” I asked, surprised.

“Well, this is where my family is based, I just went to school in Canada just like you. I had no idea you were staying here, I've been watching you dancing and moving your body and it seems you came with some people.” Mason said,

I wasn't ready to give in to any of his conversations. I just realized I was still wrapped with a towel. My chest and part of my breast were showing.

As I noticed him staring I dragged the towel up. “Why did you follow me?” I asked.

“I just couldn't stay back, I have been watching you, you're looking good.” He said.

I had no idea what mason Intention was. I was not ready to have any conversation with him.

“I'm surprised to see you here, what a coincidence. So you come to this gym often?” He asked.

“I started coming here recently, and I'm just here with my cousins.” I said.

“Cousins? Well it seems you guys are really close because you couldn't even concentrate. All you did was to watch them.” Mason said.

“You need to go now,I want to shower.” I said.

“I know right, you smell like sweat and I think you should.” He said.

I put on a fake smile on my face. Just then, he came closer to me. He was trying to pull the towel out of my chest. I moved back. “What are you doing?”

“I know you want this, let's just do something quick.” He said,

“What do you mean?” I asked, glaring at him.

But Mason was already lost. His gaze was fixed on my lips. I didn't know how I was going to escape this.
