Nerd Of The Year ( Published - Sample Only )

Chapter 9

Ma looked pretty in a simple grey dress which looked classy yet with a hint of sexy. I seriously hoped that there would be no scenes because no matter how mush I would enjoy, Ma will not. She absolutely loathes the idea of fights and misunderstandings.

Brian came after some time. Ma was angry that he was late, this meant that we will also be late to the place we are to visit.

Brian's parents were loaded. The whole house looked like it was made of stones and marble. There were a ton of servants and the whole place sparkled like diamond.

The hallway in which we were walking was loaded with pictures. There was the young Brian with some guy who I assume is his younger brother.

Mrs.Walters was a woman of gems. She had stones all over her. If she was doing to show off her wealth, she was highly successful. She made the house-help get us the refreshments and the drinks. She was also very beautiful. Something in her told me that she used her beauty for her own selfish benefits.

Mr.Walter was relatively a humble man. Even though Brian had told me both his parents have problems regarding this marriage, his father did not show it openly unlike his wife.

Mrs.Walters hadn't even acknowledged our presence till know and by our, I mean me and Ma. She welcomed her own son with open arms.

My dislike for this woman was turning stronger by each second. I understand that she is a bit skittish that her son is marrying a single mother, but at least she can try and get to know my mother. Even if she has a problem after that, then something is really wrong with her.

"Hey mother." Brian greeted his mother. "This is my beautiful fiancee Gina and her gorgeous daughter Neveah. Darling, this is my mother Claire." He wrapped his arms on Ma's waist and she leaned into him. They looked so cute together. Perfect couple. I smiled at that thought.

"Please make yourselves home." Her speech and eyes said totally different things. This was going to be one long night.

Dinner was served and it was downright delicious. Claire's food made up for the lost mood though I was very sure that it was not made by her. During the whole dinner, Claire made sure that my mother would be looked upon.

The best part came after dinner, during the desert. We were all having custard when the bell rang. Then entered a blonde lady who looked like a model. Long tanned legs, perfect make-up and let's not forget, lots of gems on her. She looked like she live walking gem shop.

As soon as she entered, she wrapped herself around Brian, who looked way too uncomfortable. The best part was that she was wearing a golden dress which made her look like a golden fish.

"Rebecca darling, it was so nice of you to drop in here. It's been so long since you and Brian have been together." Such a cheap move Claire.

The new girl Rebecca replied with equal enthusiasm. "Oh, Claire come on, families don't thank each other, do they Brian?" Wow! She makes good use of figure of speech especially with the family part. Ma looked sad before but now she looked depressed. Luckily, Brain came to her rescue. "Yes, families don't thank each other." He muttered the family part looking at Ma. He got up from the sofa and embraced Ma.

"Rebecca, I would like to introduce to you my lovely fiancée, Gina Huber and my daughter Neveah." I was very surprised when he called me his daughter and so were the other people in the room. Go Brian!

Claire recovered the fastest and was trying to engage Brian and Rebecca in conversation with each other. What is the problem of these people I don't understand? Was the want for a glamorous daughter-in-law was more important than their own children's wishes and choices?

After a whole lot of uncomfortable silences, Rebecca spoke up, "We should go to a party nearby." Seriously! "Oh yes, Peter's party is going on nearby, we should all go." What kind of a party would it be if people the age of my grandma attend it? Oh yes, it would be a party where all the men would drink and speak of how much money they made while their female counterparts would speak about how much of their partner's money they spent this weekend.

How boring!

Brian tried to convince them that it would be a bad idea but no one paid heed to his words. This shows how high Claire thinks of us if she wants us to get out of the house. She could have said it by herself instead of sending us to an unknown place full of strangers.

The party was in a hotel near to Brian's parents place. I have never been to such a classy place in all my life. The whole place was shining with broad couches, fountains of champaine and diamond chandeliers. The place looked like a freaking palace.

The people in the hotel were equally rich. The men in Armani suits and the ladies in designer gowns. I was in total awe of this place.

Now I understood why Claire brought us here. She wanted to show Ma that we were not worthy of living with her son.

As soon as we entered, Brian and his father were whisked away by some men and Claire left us to speak with some of her friends. We were left alone with Rebecca.

"Claire is such a bitch right?" I was surprised to hear such words out of Rebecca. What was more shocking was the scowl on her face.

"Excuse me?"

"You have no idea." Me and Ma uttered the words at the same time.

Hearing my reply, Ma gave me the mother glare while Rebecca's scowl turned into a smirk?

"You're daughter is right Gina I shouldn't say this but I have to." Her face turned utterly serious on her nest words, "Claire thinks that she is somewhat superior than others and she will try her best so that this wedding does not happen. Don't try to associate yourself with her because she won't appreciate it. My best advice for you is that stay away from her."

I thought that maybe Rebecca was joking but something in me said that the danger what she was talking about was not the typical kind of danger.

Something different.

Something deeper.

Rebecca just gave a polite smile after that and excused herself. Ma had turned kinda pale and her eyes showed immense worry.

I took her hand in mine and said, "everything will be alright. Brian will never leave you." I hope.

For the next fifteen minutes, we both stood in one corner of the hall until I heard a familiar voice.

"Welcome everyone, I hope you all are enjoying yourselves. " The owner of this voice was the same guy who was in my house a day ago. Standing beside him was his father.

This is when the tubelight in my brain clicked and I realised that the Peter that Claire mentioned in her house was none other than the Peter Dale.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
