Ivy's POV
So I was meeting them today.
I had no idea what I was gonna say to them.
I sighed.
"It's gonna be okay" Dave said
We were seated in the living room.
"But what if something goes wrong?" I asked
"What could go wrong?" He asked, confused
"Uhh, I don't know, me yelling and things getting worse?" I said, sarcastically
He smiled at me
"You're gonna be fine" he kissed my forehead
The doorbell rang.
"They're here" he said, getting up and going to open the door while I stood in the living room fidgeting.
I heard voices and footsteps as I played with my fingers.
"Ivy?" I looked up at my grinning mum and everything was forgotten.
I smiled
"Mum" we met in the middle and hugged.
I shut my eyes trying to hold on to this moment.
"Dad" I said after hugging mum, hugging dad
"Hey, munchkin" he said kissing the top of my head
"I'll leave you guys to talk" Dave said about leaving
"No" I stopped him "This is about you as much as it's about me. We're a family now" I held out my hand to him
He smiled at me and held my hand in his strong ones.
We all sat down.
"I see you two called a truce" dad said
"No" Dave looked at me "It's more than a truce"
"We're in love with eachother" I smiled back at him "It just took us getting married to realize that"
"So it worked?" Mum asked
Dave and I looked at her
"What worked?" Dave asked them
Mum's eyes went wide before she glanced at my dad, then back at us
"Uhh..."
"There's no use hiding it anymore, honey" dad said to mum
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked
"Well, you see, your mum and I noticed something familiar between you and Dave. You both said you hated eachother but we saw something different" Dad said, smiling at mum "Your mum and I were like both of you before we got married. Hatred aside."
"So your dad and I decided to get you both married. Being together would clear the doubts and make you guys see what we saw" mum continued "And looks like it worked. You're both in love with eachother just as we suspected you've always been. The hatred - if we could call it that - was just a cover"
Dave and I just stared at them.
"What's wrong with everybody trying to get us together?" Dave murmured, but I heard.
Lez and Luke.
"Soo...is there also an explanation for why you appointed Dave CEO, I'm not complaining. I just need to know why you did it"
"You wouldn't have met again if we didn't do it. The plan needed him to be where you would be after your graduation. Being CEO was your dream and I'm sorry I took that away from you..." dad said "...but a job doesn't bring happiness. Love does, and my daughter's happiness comes first"
As far as explanations go...that wasn't bad.
Okay, it was the best thing my parents could have done for me. Cause right now, I'm not concerned about a position in the office. I'm in love with Dave and he loves me too, that's all that matters.
I smiled at my parents
"That's all I needed to know" I said "I'm sorry I was mad at you"
"It's okay honey" mum said "You thought we took away something so important without a reason"
Yea I did.
But now I know you did it only to give me something much more greater in return.
"Thank you" I got up and went to hug my parents who were already standing
"Just know we love you" dad said
"I know dad" I said "I love you guys too"
We spent the afternoon with my parents before they decided to leave.
Dad was planning a trip for himself and my mum. But mum didn't want to leave Thomas by himself. Ian was in UCLA, he would join dad in the other company when he finishes. Iva was in her second year in college. Thomas was still in High School. Mum wants Thomas to be on break before she goes on the trip with my dad.
So it'll be dad, mum and Thomas who'll be going on the trip.

A few days later, Dave and I came up with a plan to get Luke and Lez back together. Cause from what we had heard and seen, there was something wrong.
As for me, my life couldn't get any better. Dave and I went to the office together, came home together.
Our routine was the same everyday.
Lez and Luke came over once in a while but on different days. Like they made themselves a timetable of when the other would be at our place.
Dave and I never spoke to them about the other after they kept on avoiding the topic.
We got home after a long day at work. Dave and I decided to put our plan in action.
I called Lez while Dave called Luke.
"Hey" lez said when she picked up
"Hey you, can you come over?" I told her "I have something important to talk to you about"
Lez jumped into conclusion
"OMG! I knew you were pregnant"
Of course I'm shocked.
Pregnant?
My heart jumped at the thought of that.
Do I want to be pregnant now?
"No" I told her "I'm not. It's something else"
"Oh" she sounded disappointed "I'll there in a few"
"Okay" I said hanging up
"He's around the corner" Dave said after I hung up
"She's on her way" I said
"What was that all about with Lez?" He asked
"Nothing" I said a little to fast
He smiled at me
"Oh-kay"
Luke walked in then
"What's the emergency?" He asked
"Follow me" Dave said leading him to his office
"Hey you!" Luke kissed my cheek as he was passing
"I thought I was invible for a moment" I faked horror
He laughed at me and followed Dave into his office
I sighed and waited for Lez.
I hope this goes well.
"What's up poison Ivy?" Lez walked into the living room
Both of them.
The way they come in and out of this house. You'd think the owned the place.
I shook my head.
"Sit" I ordered her
"Ohkay" she sat beside me "What's up?"
"What's going on?"I said dialling Dave's number
"With what?" She asked, confused
"You and Luke?" I asked
Dave cut my call and I knew it was time for some drama.
"You called me here for that?" She got up, mad, slightly
"Why else would I have called you?" I asked her, getting up "You guys have been acting weird for almost a week. What happened?"
"Nothing!" She almost yelled.
"What's with all the noise?" I heard Dave say
I saw Lez stare at something behind me as she went rigid.
I turned round to find Luke the same way.
Well, well, well...
