Tie a knot

Lisa nipped his lips while cupping his cheeks and got out of the car.

"Bye," Lisa said.

"Only bye," he questioned

"Then what should I say?"

"Maybe something romantic!"

"oh like?"

"Like I love you or I will miss you," he said as an example to her.

"I love you too!" she whispered and ran away from there.

And he also drove away, giggling at her answer. That day, he was planning to go out on a date with her but all that happening happened so, he just went to his apartment straight.

"Mom?" he screamed as he unlocked the door.

"What?" she responded, crouching on a couch.

"Oh, there you are!"

Snatching a seat beside her, he laid down his head on her lap and asked her to play with his hair, as he was stressed that day.

"What happened?" his mother asked in a worried tone.

"I thought of going out with her but all that happened!" he complained.

"I guess you don't have to worry about that!" his mother whispered.

"Why?"

"Because her mother invited us for the dinner tonight so, you can spend some time with her there,"

"Thank God, I have you," he said and moaned loudly.

"What?"

"Yeah, I have invited them for the dinner, and what is wrong with your behaviour?" her mother asked her.

"It's nothing and I'm sorry, I was just kinda surprised to know that, mom," Lisa assured her mother and crawled near to her figure, on the couch.

"So, what are you deciding for the dinner," she asked her mother.

"Let's cook together," she sounded excited at that phrase.

"Okay, Let's start then,"

And after that, they started cooking for the dinner as it was already 7:00 pm and they gonna come nearly at 9 p.m. Her mother asked her to prepare dishes according to his choice and was getting excited to cook for him for the first time. She felt like she was cooking as a wife for him and yeah soon she would be.

Cobb salad, chicken fried steak, macaroni and cheese and at last she added banana split as in dessert.

She thought of his favourite dishes and began with cooking while her mother made some simple dishes.

Soon, after one hour, they both were done and sighed heavily.

But getting out of the kitchen, they noticed that kitchen was no longer a kitchen but a mess, seeing for a while, they broke down into laughter.

"Okay, now go and get ready, they would be here any minute," her mother said to her.

"Yeah, I will but first of all, let me clean the kitchen and then I will. Meanwhile, I guess, you go and get ready and be alike my beautiful mom, that everyone can't take his/her eyes off," she confessed to her mother.

"Okay, but don't take a lot of time, be quick," her mother said while heading upstairs.

"Yeah, I will be quick," she said and tied her hair in a bun before getting into the kitchen.

"Oh my God, soon I will be wife then I have to start my practice of being a good one for my baby!" she muttered to herself and came to be with cleaning.

After spending 30 minutes in the kitchen, she sighed and sat on the counter slab for taking a rest.

"It was hard to clean the mess," she uttered and noticed that food wasn't served on the dining table so, getting up from there she made it quick to design the dishes on the table.

"I guess, mom will be delighted to see that her daughter is trying hard to be a good Mrs.," she said proudly and patted her shoulder.

"Now let's get ready," she headed upstairs to take a warm shower and wear something pleasant dress.

Looking for a good dress, she didn't realise that she wasted her 20 minutes, and then came up with one piece of light yellow colour, that had a floral print on it. And went for a shower.

While her mother screamed at Lisa, "Lisa, go and get ready!"

But no response from her side so, moving downstairs, she noticed that kitchen was all clean and the dishes were already on the dining table and her nose hit the pleasant smell in the living room.

"She is so good, I have to say," her mother whispered and waited for her to get down.

Scrolling the phone for a while, she heard the sound of the doorbell, thinking that Louis and his mother was there.

"How much time she gonna take, they are already here," she mumbled and took steps to greet them.

Unlocking the door, she caught sight of Louis and his mother, standing there with something in their hands.

"Hello, Auntie," he greeted.

"Please, get inside," she said and welcomed both of them.

"I can't see Lisa. Where is she?" his mother raised a question, that he was inquiring for?

"Yeah, I guess she is in the shower so, maybe in a while she will be here. Come and sit," her mother explained.

"Who said that it gonna take a while to get down, I'm here!" Lisa yelled from upstairs and caught the attention of all of them.

"Hello, Auntie," she got down and hugged his mother tightly.

"How are you? You smell so good, Lisa, "

"I'm good after seeing you here," she confessed.

"Me or him?" his mother asked and all of them chuckled.

"Of course you," she mumbled under her breath and her cheeks got a shade.

"Okay, come and sit. I wanna talk with my soon-to-be daughter-in-law," his mother said and softened on the couch.

The living room was filled with giggles and laughter, like his and her mother teased both of them.

His mother praised her and whispered proudly towards her, "I will be really happy to see you as my daughter in law and his wife," and hugged her sweetly.

"Thank you!" she said in a happy tone.

"Auntie, I'm hungry," he exclaimed with his hands on his tummy.

"Oh, please come and let's eat," her mother said and began with the dinner.

"It tastes so good, and I loving it to see these dishes," he was amazed by that.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Lisa slapped him on his hand and he whispered "ouch" in pain.

"What?"

"Your Auntie didn't prepare these but I did," she confessed and showed him a cold expression.

"You know cooking?" he teased her by that phrase, although he knew that she was a good cook but teasing her hit differently.

"Louis, stop it, otherwise she won't give you food in near future," his mother said with a laugh.

"You guessed right, Auntie," Lisa added.

"No, please. I crave her food since secondary school," he told the fact.

After some time, her mother came up with a question.

"So, are you both ready to tie a knot for life?" her mother asked a genuine question. His mother wasn't surprised because she already informed her about the same and that's why she invited them for the dinner.

Waiting for their response, they stayed patiently. Louis turning his gaze towards her to know about her answer.

"What do you think?" his mother asked Lisa.

But she was busy blushing so, she didn't notice her wording.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you?" she added.

"I said are you ready for it or not?"

"Lisa, please stop it, we can notice your cheeks," he whispered loudly. All laughed.

Keeping her hands on either side of her face, she looked up to meet with her eyes.

"Ummm, Yes I am ready," she said and all of them turned their sight towards to know his answer.

"It's yes, I can't wait for that moment when she will come to me, walking down on aisle," he mumbled.
