Draining Mr. Brainy -(DA series book 1)

Chapter 35

Zorion Point of View

"Destination wedding. Somewhere like Hawaii, Bora Bora, Maldives."

"Oh, come on, that's so outdated and boring. How about in the middle of Amazon forest or Sahara desert?"

"You sure you are making preparations for a wedding and not a mass funeral?"

"I can't believe I'm sitting with these freaks to decide on our fourteenth's wedding."

"Arial wedding? Like somewhere in clouds at the heights of sky."

"And where exactly that would be and how exactly are we going to defy the law of gravity to perform it?"

"On the rooftop of Marina 101 perhaps. We also have other options like Burj Khalifa."

"Underwater wedding will become a good memory."

"You want grandma to swim for the whole wedding ceremony? You silly!"

"You fool; I'm talking about wedding in an underwater establishment or a hotel. You have no common sense, acceptable but you should at least use a little imagination."

"Umm, uh ask him; why don't you." All the eyes turned to me with a same spark of excitement. I almost thought they did not hear that poor boy soft scared voice.

I knew this boy deserves my love. Bartlett Dill Almond, the fifteenth of the Almond kids, the boy who is scared of girls; he is the one who has proved me sanity still exist in Almond family.

However small it is!

It's a surprise that he is even sitting here in the discussion. I had always seen him keep his distance from girls and towards few, he even has a permanent scowl on his face.

The fact that he is here shows how much he loves his cousin. Loves but scared to the tip of his balls.

"Say, a wedding with guests?" I suggested not knowing to tell them.

"That's a brilliant idea. Make a list of your guests and stay out of planning and preparations." Caramel Almond De Leon sassed as she threw a glare of disbelief towards all the men in the room, especially towards her husband. "Men are all same. No imagination power for being romantic."

As quickly as they turned their attention to me, they turned away from me even more quickly.

Now, what did I do that even Ilaria and Anete are glaring at me?

The day I challenged my sisters that I would get married before them, I took it very seriously. It's the matter or potency and I was not about to let Meow brainwashed with some nonsense.

So remembering what King said about taking help of grandma Almond in settling everything, I approached her. Asked her how I can get Meow to talk to me on normal terms and what effort of mine was lacking.

One and only reply I received from her was –

Butthead!

She called me a butthead straight to my face without any hesitation. When she said she was a thread away from marrying off Meow to someone else worthier, rage took over me resulting in firing back on grandma Almond for saying that.

'You never expressed how genuine your feelings are, never told your plans for future, never gave her a hope for a romantic association with her yet she is madly in love with you. You tell me, would you still accept a man so confusing and butthead like you for your daughter?'

No I wouldn't! I would rather kill him in secret before he approaches my daughter.

I understood her and told her how reluctant I have always been in entering a marital relationship. I offered for live-in relationship, a conjugal offer but was soon slapped hard by century old grandma and what a hit it was. I almost felt like I was hit by Hulk.
