Chapter 5 - Family dinner

When I came out everyone was already standing near the door waiting for me... They were surprised to see me....

"Bella dear you look very beautiful.. " Grandpa said with genuine smile on his face.. also mom and Dad were.. nodding to him with slightly tearful eyes...

My effort to look beautiful is worth it.... I took my coat just in case if the weather is chill.. on the way to the restaurant we were talking about how my office work do.. and what I do about Layla and all..

Embers restaurant is top restarant and hotel in the country.. they have many franchises and top celebrities and poleticals stay in the embers hotel.

After 20 minutes we reched the Embers hotel... We entered the restaurant .. restaurant was at the backside of Embers hotel ... The ambiance was so elegant ... Floors and walls are decored with different types of roses and other flowers ... Like we just entered the green house in the garden. We met the receptionist

"Mr. Harper " .. she understood with a nod and guided us towards the private room ... When we reach there my brother was standing outside talking on his phone.

He saw us and hangup the call immediately.

"Mom , Dad , Grandpa how are you all ? "

"We're all fine Brock... Let's get inside... "

" Oh hi Bella ... You look stunning tonight... Let me be your partner ... " Brock my brother stood beside me with a big smile ... And the we entered the room...

Brock and me are the sibling who never fight... But he fight a lot of time with Clara...

Brock is handsome and gentlemen and a kindest man... My dream is to match Layla and Brock together but I don't want force any of them.. they are both my favourite people I don't want them to be awkward when we meet in the future...

The private room was only for VIP's... As we entered there was a big dining table for around 10 people seating ..

Robin !! Welcome welcome.... "

"Harper !! Sorry if we are late.. we came as soon as our child came back from work... " Then Harper granpa saw me and Brock holding hands...

"They are ?" In confused way he asked to my grandpa.. probably Harper grandpa thought Brock as my boyfriend... A small chuckle escaped me...

"Oh they're my grandchildrens... Brock and Bella .. okay come on let's sit .. " then we all sit... Harper granpa introduced his grand daughter Rosy and his grand son was on the way he said.

My grandpa and Harper granpa sat side by side following the their son and daughter in law ... I sat beside my mom and Brock next to me... Beside Brock one young girl was sitting probably the younger daughter and there was an empty chair...

When I look at Rosy she felt familiar like I've seen her somewhere but I don't remember where... She was hitting on to Brock.. ..

"Brock where do yo... " Suddenly..

"Pardon me... I was late... " A sudden male voice came while entering... We all turned to look at the door.

My jaw was about to drop... It was the same handsome man... Whom I saw at the Lounge that day ..

"Ethan my boy ... Come take a seat .. " Harper grandpa welcomed him with big smile and introduced every one of us ...

Then again Harper grandpa asked Brock about business and then every men join the conversation also the Women except Rosy and Me..

We don't know anything about business.. when they were all talking I was eating on my own and glancing at Ethan... But I don't want to get caught ...

Then in the middle of their conversation they started to talk about me...

"Well ... Bella.. when do you get annual leave.. or why don't you stop working ? " I was shocked to hear... What !!??? Why would I leave my job ?.. I looked at Dad's face... Who was really happy by the decision...

"No... I can't... As for annual leave may be next year... It's been only 8 months after joining the job so.. I might not get annual leave this year..." I talked with a bit of hesitation ....

" That is too long " Harper grandpa said with sadness...

"What ..... For ?" I asked them in hesitation and awkwardly...

"Oh it's for your marriage.... You with Ethan... " My mind went blank... Marriage.. we don't even know each other and they are talking about marriage....

"I look at mom and dad's face they were so happy and not in the mood of standing my side... So I leaned on Bricks side and whispered him

" Brother donsomething.. I don't want rushed marriage... Buy some time so we can get to know each other... " Brock nodded and

"Grandpa... Pardon me .. but why don't we give them a time to know each other... Let them be in love then they can get married right ? " Yes !! Brother I love you... Thank you for standing on my side....

" Harper grandpa took anliking to Brock so he agreed on what Brock said.... So the plan for marriage went back... For another year they won't talk about the topic....

Soon we finished our dinner while talking this and that... Finally after 2 hours of eating and talking our family dinner was over ...

We all get ready to go home.. we said bye and was about go out of the door...

"Umm.. why don't we go for a second round ? 4 of us ? " Ethan dropped a bomb....

I was excited also nervous.... But since my brother is here then thought I don't have to worry ...

Mom and others went out living us 4...

"I got a plan with my friends today.. so I can't ... U can go ahead... Since I'm late I'll go now... " Rosy said and left in a hurry..

"Even I got some work to do .. I have to finish tonight... So I'm heading to my office... Bella you can go with him.. you should know each other well... " Brock said looking at me and Ethan... Then they both shook hand... Said bye to me and he left...

Leaving only Ethan and me at the room alone...

" Well what about you ? Have any plan ? " He asked while coming forward towards me...

"N.. no... I .. do..don't have any .. p..p..plan.." damn it.. why am I so nervous

He leaned to me to whisper...

" You look so beuatiful.... " I saw him in confused. And blush formed on my cheeks... . that was unexpected...

"Thank you ! "

"Let's go.., " he then went outside also I followed him...
