Who will I propose to

Who will I propose to

Lisa, who was always fond of entering her mother's room unannounced, wasn't expecting the sight that met her eyes that morning.

Her mother lay on the bed naked with a nipple stimulator attached to her nipples and a vibrator in hand as she masturbated, oblivious to the fact that she was being watched.

Lisa stood there, not knowing whether to turn back or make her presence known to her mother. She just felt embarrassed on behalf of her mother. As she turned to leave, the vibrator sound suddenly went off.

Her mom looked up to find out who had interrupted her little session.

"Oh! darling, were you there the whole time?" Mrs. Dalton asked with a broad satisfied smile as she got up to cover herself.

Lisa closed her eyes in embarrassment.

Was this woman never ashamed? Her face colored as she turned to look at her mother again. She cleared her throat, trying to find her voice

"Don't tell me you're embarrassed on my behalf?" She said with a low chuckle patting the space beside her for Lisa to sit.

"How could you do something like that without locking your door?" Lisa asked, not looking directly at her mother.

"Is this not my house anymore? Besides, the maids do not come this far up without calling first. And I'm not embarrassed that you saw me this way," She said with a shrug and then narrowed her eyes when she noticed Lisa was avoiding her gaze.

"Don't tell me you're still a virgin," She gasped when she noticed the color on Lisa’s face.

She burst out laughing at the thought.

"Awww, in as much as I'd love to say I'm proud of you, I still think it isn't a very good thing. At 22? Is it that you have never had a boyfriend or what?" Mrs. Dalton asked with a frown.

Lisa wasn't sure she was interested in having such a conversation with her mother, barely covered by her bathrobe.

"Mom, you should dress up and come downstairs. I'll be waiting for you," She said, standing up to leave.

"My shy innocent daughter, I'll join you soon. This conversation is not over," She said, laughing as Lisa hurriedly left the room.

Mira was very excited as her phone kept ringing. To the amazement of her colleagues, different clients kept calling, wanting her to handle their home issues.

She couldn't believe her luck. Last month she had been lagging, and suddenly, she brought in more clients. Lady luck was definitely in love with her today.

Her phone's screen light came on, and it was a text alert from Victoria telling her she would stop by during lunchtime.

Mira replied to the text with a simple "Ok, see you then," and continued with her work.

Adrian was still angry over the previous night's experience as he sat behind his office desk going through some new business proposals.

He had tried calling Mira earlier on, but she had been too busy to talk to him. It seemed like he was losing her. but he didn't want to believe it.

His phone rang. It was Aria. He closed his eyes in exasperation. What did this She-Devil want this time around? He asked himself, not wanting to take the cail.

The phone rang again, but he kept staring at it when suddenly the office door was opened, and Aria stood there with a look caught between a mildly amused and mildly offended expression on her face.

Her red-painted heart-shaped lips were rounded in a beautiful pout as her eyes narrowed on him.

"Were you just deliberately ignoring my call, or did I misinterpret the situation?" She asked calmly as she approached him.

He was angry, yet he did not know he was scared of her. "No, I didn't realize you were the one. I was busy," He lied.

"I thought so too," She said with a smile as she pecked his cheeks and whispered in his ears, "Don't ever ignore my calls again."

They were still in that position when Victoria entered the office.

Adrian closed his eyes. Why was his stupid secretary allowing everyone in without his permission today?

"What's going on here?" Victoria asked, ready to tear Aria apart.

Aria leaned away from Adrian and turned to face Victoria with a cold smile. "Is this the girlfriend you talked about proposing to?" She asked Adrian while staring at Victoria condescendingly.

How was he to say no with Victoria standing right there? How was he to explain he planned on Proposing to her best friend while she was pregnant with his child?

"Proposal? You planned on proposing?"

Victoria asked with apparent surprise as she moved into the office to hug Adrian.

Adrian closed his eyes. Things certainly couldn't get worse than this.

"Don't get too excited. He is mine now.

However, I'm generous enough to give you time to finish your business with him," Aria said as she walked to the door.

"Lest I forget, darling, I came over to tell you we are having dinner with your mother tomorrow. Don't be late," She said as she opened the door and sent a kiss his way.

The only way she would let him go was if he found a way to hook her up with Tyler.

She would ruin everyone's relationship until she got what she wanted, she said to herself as she entered her car.

"What was the meaning of that?" Victoria asked, turning to stare at the door after the shock of what Aria said had worn off.

"Who is she, and what does she want?

How come she's having dinner with your mom and I’m yet to meet your mom? She asked again, turning to look at him.

Adrian looked at her. This whole shit was getting worse. It seemed like lady luck was far from him.

"What did you come here for? And why the hell did you come here without calling first?" He asked aggressively, making her draw back in fear.

"Don't I have the right to see my man and the father of my child?" She said, blinking at him while rubbing her abdomen.

"What if Mira was here? How would you have explained your presence here to her?" He asked, still very annoyed.

"There's no way Mira would have been here. She has a job to attend to," She said matter of factly.

"So isn't it time you got a job yourself and stopped pestering me?" He asked, wildly running his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"I'm pestering you? Did you call me jobless and say I'm pestering you? When I was traveling around with you to warm your bed, did you think about my jobless state?" She asked with a slightly raised voice and narrowed her eyes as something else occurred to her.

"Don't tell me the person you planned on engaging was Mira, and don't tell me you're currently thinking of marrying the slut who just left your office. You can't break me and Mira’s heart at once," She growled back at him.
