One's Boundaries

Chapter 18: Dad?!

I open the door to find:

LEE?!

Me: L-Lee?!

Lee: Oh wow - you didn't have to miss me that much.

Me: As if! What are YOU doing here?

Lee: To pick you up. 

Ziana: Oh come on Liana! Just let them in!

Me: Sorry... come on in.

I let them inside. I saw Lee Romano look around the house.

Was he inspecting?

Lee: Your house... doesn't look too bad - it's pretty average.

Me: Pretty average? Should I take that as an insult?

Lee: No - as an honest review.

I felt hot with anger. 

Did he come all this way to insult our house?!

Me: How may I help you Lee Romano?

Lee: You haven't dressed up yet?

Me: Dressed up for what? If you have working eyes Romano, you will see I am from bed.

Lee: You have 30 minutes to get ready and have everything packed.

Me: Packed for what? Lee you are getting on my nerves.

He came closer to my face.

Lee: Expect me to be on your nerves because you are coming to stay with me - you are my fiancee remember?

I opened my eyes wide.

Was this happening? This was all too soon!

Me: We haven't gotten married yet... sir.

Lee: Well we will be soon.

I glared at him.

Lee looks at Zane, Alicia, and Ziana.

Lee: Are they your... siblings?

Me: What did you think Lee?

Lee: I was just checking.

Lee goes to greet Zane, who seems happy seeing Lee. Ziana tried not to fangirl, and Alicia looked at him skeptically.

Please don't do that Alicia...

Me: Do you want something to drink, Lee, Ace?

Ace: No thanks.

Lee: I am good thank you.

Ziana: We will give you some space.

Lee: No need. I was just here to pick Liana up. My father wants to meet her.

Ziana and Alicia: Wow!

Me: What?! Today?!

Lee: What were you expecting? Next month?

Me: Of course not! I am not even dressed yet! Let alone pack my things yet!

Alicia: Mr Lee.

Lee: Oh please call me brother. You are my sister-in-law, right?

Alicia: Indeed.

Ziana: Brother, please don't worry about Liana - it's the first time she is going to be in a relationship, let alone marriage, her bags will be ready in 30 minutes.

Lee and Ace smiled at Ziana and Alicia.

Lee: Really?

Ziana: All will be taken care of.
