"This Is My Idea" ✔ [On Hold]

You Rascal

Milo's POV
I still haven't processed Rora's new look yet as I drove her home to have dinner with her family, she didn't change much in my eyes because she was already pretty, to begin with just prettier than before

"Do you think my family will recognize you?" She asked me as a joke because I looked so different from before, I took a quick look at myself from the mirror

"I hope they will or else they might freak out"

Aurora's POV
Milo was focused on the road but I can't help but keep looking at him as if he was the exact same person that I am dating right now

He stopped the car at the front of my home, Dad waited at the driveway to greet us but he almost didn't recognize Milo when he stepped out of the car. He squinted his eyes at Milo
"Milo?"

"Aiden" he called my Dad casually and then it clicked in my Dad's head
"Damn nice haircut"

"You too kiddo" he told me before telling us to come in since Mom is almost finished with the food, Milo told that he will be helping Mom in the kitchen as I set up the table with Arlo

We heard Mom's loud scream and we all ran to see what happened, she was pointing a spatula to Milo and had visible confusion written all over her face "honey, that's Milo"

"No, I think not! Milo is a good boy and has long hair!" She said loudly, Milo was frantically trying to prove that he was Milo but Mom wouldn't believe him

Arlo saw Milo and burst out cackling
"Mom that is Milo"

"Are you sure?" She took a closer look at his face, her eyes went wide and backed away instantly "Oh My God, he is Milo" she said in an acceptance

Milo leaned on the counter with one hand and scratched the back of his neck "Thank goodness I almost thought you don't recognize me anymore Pia"

"Well it's not every day I see a full-blown transformation other than my husband on our wedding day" she said as she took out her baked pie in the oven, the raspberry scent filled the room instantly

"I was not that different before, am I?" Dad asked Mom but Mom was avoiding his question, Dad kept annoying Mom to tell him but Mom kept her mouth shut tight and was enjoying that Dad was really desperate of wanting to know her reason

We all watched in amusement as he was tailing Mom around the house, all three of us were sitting at the dining table waiting for the both of them but we got hungry so we ate first. Arlo and Milo were talking to each other about cars

I was eating some ice cream and got a spoonful scoop as I held it up for Milo like it was a natural thing to do, I got so used to the role of the girlfriend that everything that girlfriends do I was doing it without much thought

Arlo was looking at us funny and we heard the doorbell ring
"Roraaaa~" I heard Sandra's voice singing my name all the way from the entrance door

She entered the dining room and her eyes went to Milo who was sitting beside me, she sat at my other side and gave me a smug smile
"Who's he?' She whispered as she eyes Milo talking to Arlo and was waiting for me to feed him another scoop of ice cream, I comply and gave him a scoop of my mango ice cream

I turned around to see one of her hands covering her mouth
"is he? No!" She whisper yell at me in shock, she was in disbelief that Milo was now the guy that I am now dating other than Archer

"He looks ten times better than Archer, how?" She was confused and was admiring Milo from her seat, Milo's eyes landed on Sandra who was now hiding beside me

"Hi" she greeted him and he waved at her, Sandra lightly punched my shoulder "you lucky girl"

I playfully shoved her from her seat and she giggled, Mom and Dad came back to the table and Dad had a victory face put on as he ate some pasta. I don't know what had happened but dinner was delicious and everyone is here

We heard a knock at the door and everyone looked at each other in confusion "did anyone invite someone?" Sandra asked out loud

I stood up to open the door to be greeted by a grandpa and Devan was helping him, the grandpa was holding a beef and cheddar casserole dish "am I late?" He asked me with kind eyes

"Sorry, we are late the casserole took a while" Devan explained to me, I helped the Granpa carry the casserole and let both of them in. Milo stood up from his seat as soon as he saw him

"Ah there you are you rascal" the Granpa chuckled and I think I saw Milo gulped

"You must be Milo's Grandpa" Mom gave the Grandpa a seat next to her, he sat down slowly. He was old but still active

"And you must be his?" Dad looked at Devan who helped the old man sit
"I'm his cousin"

I sat beside Milo who looked so nervous, I secretly tugged his arm at the bottom of the table
"Are you okay?"

He was very nervous "yeah"
He must be nervous his grandma and my parents are together at one table with us

Milo's POV
I prayed that Granpa won't say anything about the business but he didn't, what he did however talked to Rora's parents about our future

Rora and I got a bit uncomfortable because we don't think that far about our future so we excused ourselves from dinner and strolled outside of her home on a chilly night

Rora pulled her coat tighter as a gust of wind swept by us, I put an arm around her and rubbed the side of her arm trying to warm her
"Your Granpa is a kind person"

I look down at her who was focusing on the path we are walking "he is"

He was there when my parents died and on every important occasion that happened in my life, he became a second dad. I should explain to him about my situation, I felt guilty for hiding it from him because I was pushing him away when all he wants is just to be part of my life

Rora leaned her head to me as we walk slowly on the grass under a night starry sky
