A Little Unexpected

Unexpected Call pt.2

Day one (part two)

Andro P.O.V

It was a beautiful day outside, the birds were chirping, flowers are blooming a and it was a horrible day for Shay's mum to call. Well, technically that's any day but never mind that. Let me give you a quick rundown on where I sit in this family tree. So, there Shay's mum and dad (Victor and Jenny) then there's the first born which is Shay, then Shay's sister kylie, and Shay's youngest brother Jackson. Why am I not in that family tree? Because I'm all the way over in the first cousin category! That's right, technically I'm not even supposed to be here but that's beside the point. Now you know how this train wreck works.

I  couldn't help but cringe at my Aunt's voice, it was sickly sweet and like nails on a chalk board at the same time. You didn't know whether to run and cry or brave the things she might say. But right now she was praying for Shay, I flashed her an apologetic look but was silently glad that Auntie didn't ring me because I couldn't do it in all honesty. But Shay's mum was a very busy person, go go go 24/7 and she liked to plan dinner parties a lot with her upper class rich friend. I silently chortled at shay's over dramatic eye roll, she had always been a drama queen when she was younger, she was in all of the school musicals and productions you could imagine.

She heard a stern exchange of words between her aunt and Shay, she covered her mouth and cringed waiting for the yelling match that was about to begin. 'I'm not asking a lot from you my ass! A boyfriend? In two weeks? How is that even possible?' I couldn't help but to think to myself. Shay got off the phone and sighed, she shook her head "Nah, I heard it all, but how is that even possible? She's gotta be kidding herself on that one. Lose a pound or two in two weeks I can do, but finding a boyfriend? That's a tough ask Auntie must be desperate this time 'round" I said, leaning on the cream coloured wall. I nodded, "indeed we are screwed" I couldn't stop myself from thinking about why auntie wouldn't let us take each other to the dinner party,I mean, it doesn't mean anything it's like going to your formal or prom with a friend right? It's not like we are dating each other. "Is it really that bad if we go together?" I asked, concerned about the whole situation.

Shay's always been the free spirit, goes where she wants, when she wants and with whoever she wants. And that's great! But me on the other hand I'm just not cut out for that free spirited attitude sand mindset. I evaluate everything, look at the possible out comes and then debate for over an hour if I should do it or not. But that couldn't be the case today. Because my aunt was a serious women an was a force to be reckoned with. And what ever she wants she will get, whether you like that or not. But living in luxury has its downfalls, this was just one of them, but I still don't see why we have to change for my Aunt's silly dinner parties because if you rush into things; a relationship for example, you could be dating anyone, because you don't know that much about them. Why you ask? Because you've only known them for two weeks!

I pulled out my phone not long after Shay did to get a dating app or two to see if this obscure want her Auntie demanded was active able, because God help us if it wasn't. I gave Shay a weak smile and nodded. "Yeah" I replied. I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh, "this is absolutely ridiculous, I can't believe we actually have to do this" I watched as Shay signed up for this stupid dating site, I couldn't help but scoff. "I don't even understand why it's so bad that we take each other to dinner parties, less of us to feed. And I'm not ready for a relationship yet, I want to focus on my studies. Not on boys! My mum has always said to me that education is of utmost importance, and I want to get a government job as a teacher, earn good money, buy my own goddamn house and then, MAYBE find a partner. Not the other way around!" I ranted angrily. I shouldn't have exploded like that but just somethings about my auntie really get on my goat, "I'm sorry for getting mad, I just don't get it." I apologised looking down at the black shag pile rug in the white tile floor.

I threw myself into the couch, and sighed loudly "let's just get this over with" I groaned puffing out my cheeks in defeat. The phone made a clicking sound as I unlocked to open the stupid dating app, it started off with simple questions like "what your name'' "how old are you?" Then gradually got down to nitty gritty questions that I wasn't really comfortable answering. But what can ya do, am I right? I looked at the last question and could help myself but to laugh hysterically she clutched her stomach "S-Shay listen to this oh my god" I started, trying to calm myself down be fore I began talking again "okay, now" I paused, looking into her eyes and with a dead serious tone of voice I asked the question " do you stir your coffee clockwise or counter clockwise?" I chortled. Beginning to tear up from laughter all over again, this might help me with getting my confidence up and being outgoing around everybody, not just friends and family just gotta keep it real, ya feel?

'Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad' I thought to myself.
