Ivanna woke up early, decided to take a shower.
"Honey, come down later for breakfast." her mom knocks at her door.
"Noted, mommy." she said.
She let the water flow down through her entire body, she felt relieved and safe.
"Gosh, I can't believe I'm going to marry soon." she blurted.
She quickly puts on her comfortable outfit, her shorts paired with her loose t-shirt. She headed directly to their dining to eat some breakfast, she was shocked to see Ash eating with her parents.
"Oh my." she said.
"Good morning." Ash smiled.
Ivanna just sarcastically smiled at him and sits in front of him.
"Honey, Dwayne came here because we wanted you both to get to know each other before your wedding day." her dad said, she was startled.
"For what reason?" she asked.
She just eats her breakfast. Ash was just staring at her, and telling his mind that she's not just an ordinary girl.
"Honey, you should respect our decision." her dad said.
"Okay, fine." she said.
"Go on and eat your breakfast, and go upstairs to chnage your outfit. You're not going out like that, are you?" her mom.
Ivanna just rolled her eyes and finished her breakfast. Ash waited for her while talking to Mr. Hendrix.
"Dwayne, I want you to tolerate my daughter's attitude sometimes." Langston Hendrix told him.
Ash just smiled at him, telling him not to worry that he can handle her.
"Thank you for accepting my daughter." he said.
Ash inside him was frowned out, he doesn't even want to marry Ivanna but with their parents' consent, he's doomed. Ivanna wore her summer dress, it is a simple floral dress and she paired with her slipper sandal.
"Oh honey, you're so gorgeous." Tina Hendrix, her mother said.
Ash and her father heard her mother calling her name, they turned around to face her. Ash was taken away by her beauty. It's not hidden that she's so pretty, Ash can see that she was very interested in fashion shows.
"Okay, go and enjoy kids." they waved at them.
Ivanna went inside his black honda accord, she was amazed that his car was just simple and clean. Ash noticed that she was rooming her eyes around his car.
"Don't worry, my car is very clean." he said.
Ivanna was just mute. No one is talking along the road, but Ivanna thought of asking him questions.
"Ash right?" she asks.
"Probably call me Dwayne." he said.
But Ivanna thought 'Ash' is more cool than Dwayne.
"No, I want to call you Ash. Right, Ash." she said.
Ash stops the car making her bump to the front.
"Ouch." she groaned.
Ash stares at her and puts on her seatbelt, she was shocked that his face was near to hers.
"You should always put on your seatbelt." he said.
Ivanna thought he was so strict and serious. All she does was to stare at him while driving and Ash didn't even stare at her even once.
"Will you quit staring at me." he said making her startled.
"I'm sorry." she said.
Ivanna just focused her eyes to the windows, she can see the bright sky with many clouds. She noticed that the aircon was off, so she just opened teh window making Ash shout in an instance.
"What the hell?!" he shouted.
"What?" she asked.
"Why did you open it?" he asked.
"I'm sorry but the aircon is off and perhaps it's better to inhale a natural fresh air." she said proudly.
Ash thought she was so stubborn, that her father told him to endure her attitude sometimes. Ash groaned and just didn't mind her.
"So, where are we going?" she asked.
"Where do you want to?" he asked.
Ivanna was thinking of a nice place.
"Can you take me to the park?" she asked him.
Ash just stared at him with a curious face.
"Park?" he asked.
Ivanna nodded. Ash just drove. Later they park his car to the parking area, Ivanna was excited to play to the park. Ash thought she was so childish.
"I'm sorry, i just missed playing." she said.
Ash just ignored her and sits to the bench watching her playing with kids. Ash found himself smiling, Ivanna was fond of kids he can see. Ivanna catch him staring at her, she waves her hand to him.
"Come on!" she shouted.
Ash just ignored her, but he was shocked to see the kids whom she was playing with were running towards him.
"Big brother, come on and let's play." the boy said and holds his right hand.
"I'm sorry, I don't like." he said.
They boy's face went sad but the girl took his left hand.
"Come on, please." the girl pouted.
Ash managed to smile and he agreed to go with them. Ivanna was happy that they could take Ash to play with them.
"Great! Good thing you came." she said.
"They want me to." he said.
They played many games, The little boy and the little girl left with their nannies, it turns out that they're twins, fraternal exactly.
"Gosh, I'm thirsty." Ivanna said.
"Come on, I know some snack house here." he said.
Ivanna was overwhelmed that Ash talks more a lot than before, he took her to the nearest snack house. They have many foods, streetfoods, hamburgers, corndogs, and so on. Ivanna's eyes went bigger staring at it. Ash could see that she was so hungry and thirsty.
"Come on, grab what you like." he said.
Ivanna excitedly picks many foods. She misses to eat like those, all they eat to USA were some natural dishes. Ash also bought many of his foods. They eat and eat, until they were very full.
"Thank you." she said.
"For what?" he asked.
"For taking me here and paying my foods." she said smiling.
Ash just scoffs.
"It doesn't matter." he said.
Ivanna could see that he was well educated through his actions and the way he talks to someone.
"Ash." she blurted."I said, stop calling me that." he said.Ivanna could see his reaction everytime she calls him, Ash."Why so? It looks cool in you." she said.Ash just glared at her."So, Can we go to the mall?" she aked.Ash just nodded, he has nowhere to know to go.
