Haruhiko is looking bad with his shirt partly unbuttoned and not tucked in, no tie or jacket to be seen.
"Haruhiko?" Angelique asked but he just stormed in. Akihiko and Takahiro stood up to see what was going on. Akihiko gaped at the sight of his brother.
"Haruhiko?" Akihiko asked. "Are you in trouble or something?" Misaki rolled his eyes then stood up and walked over to Haruhiko.
"Dang, Haruhiko, what happened to you? Did you get into a fight or something?" Misaki asked then started buttoning Haruhiko's shirt. Everyone was stunned and just stood watching then Haruhiko moved brushing aside Misaki.
"I will not allow Angelique to marry Misaki." Haruhiko stated. "I love Angelique and will allow no one else to have her."
There was silence then Misaki started laughing.
"I'm sorry I know that it's not funny but " Misaki kept laughing. Everyone stared at him until he calmed down. Misaki wiped away his eyes then put a hand on Haruhiko's arm. "Haruhiko I just told my brother that I am in love with Akihiko and he accepted that. Right brother?" Takahiro took a deep breath then nodded smiling.
"Yes I do." Takahiro said
"So?" Haruhiko questioned
"So I will not be marrying Angelique. The only people left to tell are her par..." Misaki said and was interrupted by the doorbell. Angelique who was still by the door opened it.
"Mom? Dad?" she queried and in walked George and Annalee Debonair. George was a tall man with dark hair and eyes, though his hair was greying he still stood tall and with a dignified air. Annalee was shorter than her husband with light brown hair and blue eyes, she was a quiet woman but dignified.
"Angelique, my darling." Her mother said with a quiet, musical voice and hugged her daughter. George hugged Angelique next then they all moved into the room.
"So Takahiro, my boy, ready for the kids to get married?" George said as he shook Takahiro's hand and before anyone could say anything he moved on. "You must be Akihiko, Misaki's landlord, thanks for having us over." George shook the silver-haired mans hand then moved on. "Ms. Manami pleasure as always. Oh and this must be Misaki. Angelique you'll have to fatten this one up." George laughed and smacked Misaki on the back then he turned and saw Haruhiko. "You! What are you doing here? You won't be allowed to break up this marriage."
Angelique this entire time had been conversing with her mother, telling her everything that had happened. When her father got to Haruhiko, she stopped and turned.
"Father, that is enough." Angelique said and George stopped talking at her tone. "You are not going to choose who I will marry."
"Darling, perhaps you should hear what has gone on," Annalee said then gestured to a chair. "Do you mind if I sit?"
Akihiko shook his head no. Annalee sat then motioned next to her, George sat down and opened his mouth. Angelique raised an eyebrow and he shut his mouth. Her mother had taught her well after all.
"Now you will listen and only speak when we are done," Angelique said to her father. "Now I think Misaki should be the one to tell what has gone on."
"Me?" Misaki said and Angelique nodded. Misaki looked over at Akihiko who nodded then Misaki sighed. "Well it all started a couple of years ago." Misaki then proceeded to tell the Debonair's everything that had gone on, without doing into all the details.
"Well that is a story," Annalee said and George nodded. "Clearly, they will not be getting married."
Misaki and Angelique looked at each other than laughed.
"No we will not," Angelique said. "It turns out we already have loved ones in out lives that we aren't willing to give up."
"Well then Misaki and Angelique can go their separate ways but I am not going to allow this," George said then stood up then walked over to Haruhiko. "Young man I am not going to allow you to take my daughter. Do you understand me?"
"George, really?" Annalee said.
"Yes, really. We know nothing of this man or his family therefore he is not allowed anywhere near Angelique." George stated and nodded his head to punctuate his point.
"Dad!" Angelique cried out in dismay.
"Sir perhaps I should introduce myself like I have never gotten the chance to," Haruhiko said.
"Don't bother" George said. Then the doorbell rang again.
"Who could it be this time?" Misaki asked.
