I was at a restaurant some few kilometers away from home I looked for a vacant sit and sat down scrutinizing the place like it was the first time I've been there i was deep in thoughts when the waiter appeared asking for my order I ordered some chips with liver and chicken wings sauce that was my favorite food so far...

some minutes later my food was on the table and i ate like someone suffering from bulimia with disregards that i was in a restaurant not at home,  after I finished I stroll-back home thinking of the outcome of this date.
I laughed at my thoughts and send them away..

Mom and dad were sitting on a two sitter in the living room hands wrapped around each other when i entered,
"hey mom, hello dad" they all replied with a smile i smiled to wanting to scoot upstairs to my room because my legs were at the verge of removing when mom asked me to have a sit with them,
I wanted refusing but I just had to sit for a chit chat that I already know what is all about,

"so u went on a date?"mom asked
I nodded my head as a reply, she asked again "with who?" She again asked curiously

"My loving self mom, and we went on a lovely date like you and dad did earlier today"
I smirked,

"so you are still single" mom added
I gave her a quizzical look

"No mom "I'm dating my"  before I completed the sentence mom called my name grimly and the expression on her face oh no, I know is not time for jokes she gave me a stern look

"Lilly I know you are happy being around us, but you're not getting any older, you have start thinking of getting someone who loves you and you reciprocating those feelings, I know you think you don't need any one but nobody knows what the future holds me and your dad are not getting any older we want to see our grandchildren before we go" she explains

Dad was pretending he didn't hear our conversation, he was seriously watching the television and I went and gave mom a hug and said jokingly
"mom just tell me you are tired of having me around, you want me to get married and dad is also tired of me jumping on him"
he smiled and touch my hair
"your mom is right you should start thinking about the future". he added
"Dad you too?"  and we all laughed
.....................

Finally holiday was around the corner I'm so tired of school, all those assignments and stuffs

"Lilly I'm more than excited for this holiday season, I have so many plans, my  ofriends are setting something up and Lilly we are going together, you can't refuse its just for a week or two and even justin is coming the most handsome guy in college" Bella added

I gave Bella a weird look and nudge her with my elbows i laughed and Bella groan

"Why don't you want to commit you are so beautiful Lilly men will kill to be with you"
she switched the topic touching my hair

That was the question 'why don't you want to commit Lilly'?
It ranged in my head
I asked myself, is it that I'm afraid or my thinking that I wasn't Good enough,
I don't even know and I never gave it a thought until now that everyone is on my neck even daddy.

"Lilly!" bella shouts from my left
"are you okay?" she asked I replied "yes just lost in some world".
"okay lets go to the canteen i saw justin going towards the canteen" Bella drag my hand

"No I'm not interested you can go it's like you're catching feelings for Justin" I remarked laughing and bella frowned saying
No, it's nothing like that she just like him he's cool he takes my fancies
she said slyly
"Bella your fancies?" I laughed harder this time "Lets  go and say hy to justin, so your fancies will not be taken" I joked.
