My taste, My love

azily and stretched while yawning away the pain I got from my eight hours sleep. I wasn'

ted eating and Dad broke the silence. " It's been a long time we've been friends Samson but after some months our friendship will be more tight" Dad started "Yes Derek" The man who is older said "Roselle" Dad called out "Yes dad" I replied lifting my head up "This is Mr Samson Houston and his son Raphael Houston" Dad introduced I stretched my hands for a handshake as they accepted it politely " Mr Samson, this is my daughter Roselle, the one I was talking to you about" He added "She's more beautiful than how you explained her to be" Mr Houston complemented " Florence I leave the rest to you" Dad said to Mom " Roselle, Raphael here is a very good gentleman. We thought about it and your Dad and I have decided to get you married of to him" she blurted out I suddenly choked on the food I was swallowing and I suffered for breath " What's wrong Roselle " mom asked as she gave me water which I gulped down and became free. "Mom, I know you and dad knows what's good for me but don't you think I'm not ready for this" I asked against the idea " Sweetheart, you are absolutely ready for everything. Twenty years is enough for you to have your own family" mom assured " Yes Roselle , you don't have to waste anymore time" Dad added I was surprised because Raphael didn't raise up his head throughout the conversation and I guessed he is also being forced into this. I had no choice than to accept it. We concluded everything and mom suggested Raphael and I speak alone, I hated the idea but who I'm I to object it. They all left leaving Raphael and I only , there was silence for sometime before I summoned the courage to say something. "Hi " I simply said "Hello" he replied calmly " I can see you are not happy with this alliance"I said He now raised his head and I noticed him well. He wasn't bad but I wasn't pleased. " Yes but my Dad said I don't have a choice"
