Peri's POV

I had already completed my homework and there was nothing to do
I was in my bed thinking about Ali
He was the last person I wanted to think but I was thinking about his reaction towards Steven
Why he was reacting like this while he hates me?
All of the sudden Aoun's words hit my mind
I hope you will change my brother when you will be her wife

Was he serious? Was Ali really going to marry me?

But I will never marry him
I spun up from my bed and made my was outside the house
I think all I need this time is a refreshing walk

There was calm there in the street
I have always admired nature and this place was really adorable

Hi.... A familiar voice hit my ears. I turned to see Steven standing there
At first I was surprised at his presence but he could be here when he is my next door neighbour

Hi... I greeted him
I looked around to see if Ali was there

I brought this for you He pushed the  coffee mug towards me
and actually that was exactly what I needed

We sat down just to have a usual  talk

So are you coming to the party this Saturday ?
He inquired

Party !!!! Which party ??
I asked I was unaware of parties and it was obvious I was new here and I wasn't a party girl

There's a party at Lara's house this Saturday
You aren't invited ??? After all she is your  cousin's girlfriend

Maybe that's the reason I'm not invited He will never want me around him

I will come  I smiled and said to him
In fact I want to go with you I smiled

I will never allow him to control my life I will do whatever I wanted to do
From now I will never obey him

It would be my honour he bowed like a prince. He was such a nice person unlike Ali

Saturday night

Are you sure you want to go there
Alice  questioned me if somehow I have forgotten my decision.

Yes Alice I'm quite sure about it. Now will you please do my hair.

I handled her straightener She took almost half an hour doing my hair
And all the time she was complaining about its mass

I looked through the dress she selected for me
I gulped because I had never wear dress like this
It was a top with a side cut skirt

Come on Peri you are late. Steve will be here in no time

She pushed me inside the washroom
When I finally got myself out of the washroom she screamed
I don't know if she screamed or shouted

Steve will die honey she clapped her hands
But what Steve think doesn't matter
I was thinking about Ali's reaction
I want to made him jealous but what if he  doesn't like my look

And what about Ali I finally asked her

Oh he will forget  Lara, I bet she giggled

The door cracked open and revealed Aoun
His eyes were wide open when he saw me.

Whoa !! who's the beauty is standing here
He rubbed his eyes in case if he was dreaming or something else

Am I really looking beautiful? I bit inside of my lip in confusion

Girl you are just a beauty. Bro will definitely fall for you
He high fived Alice who returned him a warm high five. I rolled my eyes I  don't want him to fall I just want to tease him

By the way Peri your man's down there Aoun informed me
I don't like him he murmured

I was quite surprised that why both these brothers don't like him. He was such a nice guy

I made my way down stairs. Steve was sitting in the lounge facing the TV

He almost fell from his position when he turned to saw me.
I wondered if I was looking that pretty

You are looking ...... So ..... Pretty
He made it so difficult to say like if he was nervous

Thanks I smiled to relax him

It took about half an hour reaching there.
Party was already started since parking was filled.
I felt my stomach twist since It was first time I was off to some kind of party
