Diego!! Mr. Mateo thundered as he stormed into the house after coming back from the office, Martinez followed behind his boss in a hurry.
Diego was seated in his room playing video games with headphones on and his legs crossed.
He was about to win the game when his granddad barged in, collected the controller from his hands and smashed it on the floor.
Oh! Oh! No.... Diego cried out as if he was shot.
"Why did you do that? I was about to win. Why?" Diego yelled at his granddad while staring at him angrily.
"Don't play games with me Diego, I know you did something to that girl to make her reject you without giving any good reason." Mr. Mateo yelled back and Diego started laughing.
"You only asked me to go on dates and not convince my dates to like me." Diego said after he finally stopped laughing.
"So that's how it is?" Mr. Mateo asked and scoffed.
Mrs. Lucia who was busy making a life video session with her online fans was interrupted by loud noises coming from the fourth floor where her son's game room is located.
"What's going on?" She asked after coming out of her room, Mrs. Sofia also came out in a puppy designed outfit at the same time.
"Let's go and find out." Mrs. Sofia replied. They both got into the elevator and pressed the bottom to the fourth floor.
"Trust me Mylar, that guy is amazing and he is also a pro at gaming." Mike kept on praising Jaden that Mylar got so fed up of hearing about him.
"Don't tell me you didn't notice how handsome he looked." Jenny said and Mylar asked.
"Stop that, what do you know about things like that?"
"I am eighteen. So if I finish school and he is still single, I will definitely try to date him." Jenny replied blushingly.
"Seriously! Imagine what my little sister is aiming to achieve. Why don't you think about how you will become a doctor, get so rich that men flood after you and you control them, not the other way round." Mylar adviced.
"I just hope you guys never end up like me." Mylar whispered but they heard what she said.
"Why so serious? Offcourse we will be better than you." Jenny said and smiled at Mylar.
"Anyways you have been working so hard to take care of us even though we've never admitted it before or thanked you for it." Mike said and gave Mylar a hug.
"Stop that, don't get all emotional with me." Mylar said, gently pushed him away and walked ahead of them to open the door with her keys.
Diego walked closer to his granddad, looking him in the eyes with no respect whatsoever, he whispered to him.
"You forced me into going on this dates but that doesn't mean that I will do things that pleases you.
Let's see if you will be able to get me married even after the remaining six days."
Diego! His mom yelled at him, she heard what he said after coming into the room and she scolded him.
"Stop that, why are you behaving so rudely to your granddad."
"Because you didn't teach him any manners to begin with." Mr. Mateo said and Diego asked him.
"And did you?"
"I told you to stop that." Mrs. Lucia said and hit her son on his back.
"Ouch! Mom that hurts." Diego cried out. His mom made him sit and Mrs. Sofia who had been a silent spectator all along also convinced her husband to sit while Martinez stood by the side watching them.
"What happened on your date? Didn't you like the girl?" Mrs. Sofia asked her grandson and Diego replied while behaving like a baby.
"Grandma! What can I tell you, the old man set me up with an old woman."
"Behave Diego or else I will hit you again." Mrs. Lucia scolded him.
"I have known Ariana for as long as she was just a little child, so how can you say that I set you up with an old woman?" Mr. Mateo asked and Diego replied with a smile playing at the corner of his lips.
"It's not by age, physically she is old."
"And that's the only reason why you don't like her?" Mrs. Sofia asked and sighed.
"I told you that you have spoilt this boy. He is stupid, what a silly reason to not like a nice girl like Ariana." Mr. Mateo chirped in and Diego went on to say more about Ariana.
"She's so boring unlike most girls I have dated, the last twenty minutes I spent with her were the most boring minutes of my day."
"See! Father-in-law, Diego can't have a boring woman as a life partner. My baby boy has a valid reason for not liking that girl.
And I am sure that if I go through her Instagram handle, there will only be boring things there." Mrs. Lucia said supporting her son, she even patted him on his back and they both smiled at each other.
"Why do you have to be so hard on your grandson Mateo? Don't allow him to end up with a boring partner like I did." Mrs. Sofia added.
What! Mr. Mateo exclaimed and then asked.
"Are you perhaps talking about me? Am I boring?"
"Whatever happened a while ago, I won't let my siblings or dad know about it but mom, don't ever do that again in my house. I mean it, never ever do that again in my house." Mylar warned her mom while she was in the kitchen with her making pasta with cheese, a cheese pasta.
"I won't do it again, I swear." Mrs. Claire said.
"Your swears or promises doesn't really mean a thing to me. Just remember that if this happens again in my house then I will break all ties with you forever." Mylar said adding some threats to her words and Mrs. Claire gasped, shocked to hear her daughter make such threats at her.
They all sat down on the rug and ate their food while Mike went on and on about their neighbor, he even told Mylar of his desire to keep going to Jaden's house.
"When are you going to stop?" Mylar asked Mike.
"Stop what?" Mike asked confused and Mylar replied raising her voice a little.
"When are you going to stop talking about my neighbor?"
"Relax Mylar. I am sure he will stop now, right Mike?" Jenny said to calm her down and Mike nodded his head in response to the question Jenny asked.
"Fine, I am sorry for yelling Mike." Mylar apologized and quickly stuffed her mouth with Pasta.
Mr. Mateo sat quietly, starring at each and everyone before him. Sometimes he still wonders why God would give him such useless people as relations and these are the times when he misses his late son so much and wished that he were here with him.
"Maybe things would have been different." Mr. Mateo would always say when he thought of his son.
He was tired and his head started to hurt, he couldn't continue the conversation anymore and so he said.
"Supporting him won't make him a better person rather he will become a disgusting human being that you will not be proud to call your son or grandson later on.
"You still have six more dates, let's see if you don't end up with one of those good ladies from reputated families." Mr. Mateo ended, he got up and left the room, Martinez went out after him.
"Thanks so much guys for your support." Diego said with a smile to his two guardian angels after his granddad has left.
"Not a problem my darling." His mom said also smiling and Mrs. Sofia added.
"We are always here for you." They both got up and went to the door.
"Get some rest dear, tomorrow would be another great day for you." Said his mom before she shut the door. They also returned to their rooms.
Mylar layed on the right side of her bed while her siblings shared the left side, her mom slept on the couch while her dad who came back so late and very drunk slept on the rug with his clothes and shoes on.
Mylar was pondering over her reactions from earlier, she wondered why she overreacted when her siblings spoke about Jaden.
"Why did he have such an effect on me when I only just met him?" She asked herself and turned around to face her siblings direction.
"I have seen so many men before, men are nothing to me, just some crazy jerks to have fun with and get money from them in return, nothing else. But why does this tall and handsome man feel different to me?" She kept thinking about this matter until 2 o'clock in the morning.
Diego woke up at 6:00am which was rather unusual, even the sunrise will agree with me.
He seemed quite energetic as he put on his tracksuit to go for jogging, on his way back, he bumped into a mailbox because of the magnificent sight before him.
A young woman with a sultry body was on the sidewalk fixing her shoes lace and the way she bent over made her asscheek push out behind her, he was drooling over her when he bumped into the mailbox.
"Oh my Gosh, are you okay?" She said and bent slightly, offering her right hand to help him up.
As he bent her boobs opened and it was as if it they would fall out and land on his face, Diego swallowed hard and could feel himself lost in the sight before him.
No matter how many times this playboy sees any woman, he never gets tired of ogling lustfully at them.
"What are you starring at?" The lady shouted, bringing him back to his senses.
