"My parents" Calvin replied.
"What ! Charles Dennis is your father !" She exclaimed.
 
Who doesn't know Charles Dennis in the whole of Australia and the world, he is the number one manufacturer of vehicles and machines, any type of machine.
"No no I can't marry you Cal, your father can never accept me as his daughter-in-law" Dorothy pleaded.
"There is no going back on the contract, I have asked the waiter to give you another order of food. When you are done my driver will take you home" Calvin said and stood up.
"See you next week" he said and left the table.
 
Dorothy just sat there helpless "what kind of dessert do you want ma ?" the waiter asked placing her food on the table but She was not in the present. The waiter touched her and she came back.
"What type of dessert do you want ?" the waiter asked again.
"Choc

 
 
 
 
"Is that the latest Porsche ?" a guy asked his friend pointing at the car that just parked at the school gate.
"Damn ! it is it I wonder who owns it" his friend replied.
 
Just then Calvin, Dorothy and Mia came out of the car and the students began murmuring.
"I will be going to my class now Doro" Mia said.
"OK take care" Dorothy said and hugged her.
Mia left and went to the direction of her class.
"Shall we ?" Calvin asked and took her hand.
They started walking to their own class, all the students that saw were surprised.
 
"Are my eyes playing trick on me or is Calvin holding a girl's hand ?" one girl said to her face.
Her friend did not respond but was looking at Dorothy with so much hatred. It was that girl that Calvin pushed in the library.
"Wow she is lucky", "how did she seduce him when he so much hate girls ?", "I wish I were her" were the statements Dorothy was hearing 

 
 
The next morning at the university gate, Mia was waiting for Dorothy. Immediately she saw her, she rushed at her, grabbed her and pushed her to the corner.
"How did it go?" she asked.
"Well" Dorothy began.
"Come on girl talk, I am losing my patience" she exclaimed. "He agreed to help me but he said that I will marry him" Dorothy replied.
"What ! and what was your reply?" she asked.
"I said yes," Dorothy replied.
 
"But wait what kind of marriage does he want because how can he marry when he hates girls?" Mia asked.
"Contract marriage" she replied.
"Why do you ask?".
"I was browsing about him this morning and people were saying he was gay so his family is pressuring him to take a wife to clear it" Mia explained.
 
"So that's why he didn't want intimacy," Dorothy muttered.
"What did you just say?" Mia asked.
"Nothing" she replied and started walking away quickly.
"Hey!  come back Doro, I think I heard something from you" Mia said and started running to her.
Dorothy saw that she was chasing her and took to her heels and they both ran into the school.

At a very luxurious house in the most expensive estate in Australia. Calvin was seen watching the news on the television in his living room.
"Boss, your phone is ringing," Edward said, coming into the room.
"Who is calling?" he asked, not removing his eyes from the television.
"Your father," Edward replied.
 
Calvin stood up and took the phone from Edward and went to the balcony to answer it.
"What did I do to deserve this disgrace Calvin !" A male voice shouted immediately the phone was connected.
"What is it father ?" Calvin asked.
"I just saw a video of you pushing a girl just because she touched you, Calvin, are you truly gay ?" his father asked.
 
"My wife and I are coming for the traditional thanksgiving dinner next week," Calvin said and hung up the call. On the other hand, Calvin's father tried calling him again but he didn't pick up.
"Damn it, that boy refused to pick my call" he cursed.
"What did he say?" his wife asked him.
"This is your fault, woman, all your fault," he said to his wife.
 
"How is it my fault Mr Dennis ?" his wife challenged. "It must be from your family that this gay feeling came from," he said.
"Impossible that cannot be, all my family members are all straight, it must be from your family" his wife challenged back.
"How dare you say that about my family you …….".
 
"Hey !" their eighteen years old daughter Kelly interrupted. They stopped their bickerings and looked at her.
"So Dad, what did he say ?" she asked her father.
"He said that he is coming to Thanksgiving dinner with his wife," her father replied.
"Wow that's great news, at least the world will then know that he is straight" Calvin's mother exclaimed.
"Let's just pray it is not arranged," Kelly said.
 
Meanwhile after Calvin was done talking with his father, he placed a call on Dorothy. She was at Mia's house and they were preparing fruit salad when Calvin called.
"Hello" Dorothy answered.
"Meet me at Lilo by seven," the person said.
"Cal, is this you ?" Dorothy asked, recognizing his voice.
"Yes it is me, don't be late" he said and cut off the call.
 
"Who was that ?" Mia asked, munching on a carrot.
"Calvin," Dorothy answered.
"He said I should meet him at Lilo by seven"
"Well you should go and prepare it at almost six !" Mia exclaimed.
"But I don't ha……"
"There is no but just go and prepare," Mia interrupted, pushing her into the bedroom.
 
Dorothy went into the bathroom and showered, she wore one of Mia's clothes and came out.
"Wow you look good" Mia complimented.
"Are you sure ?" Dorothy asked.
"Of course you look stunning, if he wasn't gay he might fall for you" Mia said.
"OK I will get going now" Dorothy said walking towards the door.
"OK, have fun," Mia replied.
Dorothy held the door's handle and said to Mia "don't finished all the salad"
"I won't," she replied.
 
Dorothy got out of the house, took a bus and it stopped her at the street leading to the restaurant. She got out and walked down the street until she got to the restaurant.
 She went inside the restaurant, Calvin was sitting at the same table he sat when they met the last time. So she went there and sat down.
"Calvin gave her a menu to choose, she chose her food and the waiter brought it for her.
 
She began eating immediately "why are you not eating ?" she asked Calvin, staring at his untouched plate.
"I am not hungry," he replied.
"OK " Dorothy said and continued eating.
"Who are you parents ?" Calvin unexpectedly said that Dorothy almost choked on her food.
 
"They are dead," she replied.
"What happened to them ?" Calvin asked.
"Please, I don't want to talk about it" Dorothy pleaded.
"I am just trying to practice the questions my father will ask you when we visit them on Sunday," he said.
"We will be visiting your parents ?" She asked
"Yes," Calvin replied.
 
"Does he know we are fake ?" She asked.
"No and you must not show that we are not real no matter what" he warned.
"OK, I got it," she acknowledged.
"And be prepared to be kissed in public," he said.
"Uh kiss ?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes, a lot of them," he replied.
"Are you nervous ?" Calvin asked.
 
"No, why would I be nervous, it's just a kiss" she said but in her mind she was saying " no no no I can't kiss him, he is too hot I am not going to survive it.
"OK let's get back to the questions, what happened to your parents ?" he asked.
"They died in a motor accident when I was four," Dorothy replied.
"Where did you live after that?"he asked.
"I lived in an orphanage till I graduated highschool" she replied.
"OK that's fine, now sign this" he said, giving her their marriage certificate to sign. She signed it and gave it back to him.
Then Calvin gave her an invitation card saying " that is my family traditional thanksgiving dinner invitation".
Dorothy collected the card from him and started inspecting it and her heart almost had a heart attack because of the people she saw on the card.
 

 
 
"Who are these ?" Dorothy asked  pointing at the couple on the card.
"My parents" Calvin replied.
"What ! Charles Dennis is your father !" She exclaimed.
 
Who doesn't know Charles Dennis in the whole of Australia and the world, he is the number one manufacturer of vehicles and machines, any type of machine.
"No no I can't marry you Cal, your father can never accept me as his daughter-in-law" Dorothy pleaded.

"See you next week" he said and left the table.
 
Dorothy just sat there helpless "what kind of dessert do you want ma ?" the waiter asked placing her food on the table but She was not in the present. The waiter touched her and she came back.
"What type of dessert do you want ?" the waiter asked again.
"Chocolate ice cream, please can you park the dessert and the food for me ?" Dorothy asked.
"Yes ma" the
