"Dad, the phone you brought for Rachael is three times more expensive than mine." She stated, with her lips pursed tightly together.

"Tell that to your mum." He shrugged and walked into the bathroom, leaving her in the room.

at Steve’s house.

All the family were eating at the dining table.

"Dad, I found out who drugged me." Steve replied.

"Who so I can arrest him?" Mr Davis inquired.

"Don’t worry dad, I already took care of it and it turns out that it wasn’t for me, I drank it by accident." He replied.

"I am glad you are fine," he replied.

"Bro Steve, you want to know something?" Lily inquired.

"What’s that?" Steve inquired.

"When Aunt Rachael was still living with us, she told me that she liked you." Lily replied.

"Really, but she didn’t tell me." Steve whined, chewing his food.

"Maybe she was too shy." Lily replied, and Mrs Bianca put food in her mouth.

"Eat and stop talking. You are not a matchmaker." Mrs Bianca declared.

They all started heading to their different rooms, and Steve stopped Mrs Davis and whispered in his ear.

"Me and Rachael have started dating." He beamed.

"Really?" Mr Davis inquired.

"Yes, but the thing is, I don’t know what couples who are dating do." He whined.

"Don’t stress about it too much. Just take her out at the weekends and show her how much you love and cherish her. That’s all."  He stated, and Steve hugged him.

"Thank you so much, dad." He beamed.

"You are welcome, son, now go and sleep and stop thinking about Rachael." He declared.

"Yes, sir." Steve said and walk to his room.

She walked to her wardrobe and started going through the clothes.

"How I wish I could have brought the clothes Steve’s mum brought for me." She whined and started tossing the clothes on the bed when she heard the sound of the doorbell.  She tossed the last clothes that were in her hand onto the bed and ran to open the door. She was wearing a white robe with her hair tied like a turban.

She opened the door and saw the delivery guy standing in front of their house.

"Good morning." He greeted.

"Good morning, how may I help you?" Rachael asked bluntly.

"I have a package for Miss Rachael Ray." He muttered.

"Oh, that’s me." She muttered.

"Take sign here." He said, giving her a pen.

She signed it, and he handed her a box.

"Enjoy your present." He beamed and walked away.

Rachael couldn’t wait to see what was inside. She slammed the door and started unwrapping the box.

She opened it and found a letter inside.

"From your love Steve." Was the text written on the letter She put her hand inside the box and dragged out a purple sparkling dress and a black pair of heels.
