While Mr. and Mrs. Lam talked to Sister Ma, Louis and Jessica were busy playing with the children and handing out Christmas presents to all of them. Raymond on the other hand was waiting outside for Tavia and her family to arrive. Very shortly, Tavia and her family arrived.
“Tav…” Raymond went over to Tavia and gave her a little hug.
“Hey Ray.” Tavia replied.
“Uncle, Matt, Leila how are you all?” Raymond smiled as he shook Mr. Yeung’s hand.
“We’re good.” Mr. Yeung smiled.
“Let me introduce you all to my family.” Raymond cried happily as he took Tavia’s hand and led the rest to where his parents were.
“Mom, Dad… This is my girlfriend Tavia Yeung and her family. Tavia’s father Justice Yeung and Tavia’s brother, Matt Yeung. And this pretty lady here is Tavia’s best friend Leila Tong.”
“Nice to meet you all.” Mrs. Lam greeted as Mr. Lam smiled. They shook hands with one another.
“The pleasure’s mine.“ Mr. Yeung smiled back. “Thank you very much for inviting us today.”
“Tavia comes from a family full of lawyers and barristers. Uncle is a high court judge and Matt is a solicitor in one of the biggest law firms in Hong Kong.” Raymond told his parents while Matt and Mr. Yeung took their name cards out. Mr. Lam on the other hand exchanged his name card with them. “Tavia, like the rest of them is a barrister in Hong Kong.” Raymond continued.
“I’m still a new person trying to establish my name in the field.” Tavia blushed.
“Oh wow… my son’s girlfriend is a Dai-jong in Hong Kong. Smart girl!” Mrs. Lam smiled. “Not only is she a smart girl… she’s a pretty girl as well. No wonder my son is crazy about you.” Mrs. Lam laughed.
Hearing Mrs. Lam’s praises made Tavia blush.
“Aiya… don’t praise her too much. She’s still has a long way to go in her career.” Mr. Yeung laughed.
While they were all busy talking, Raymond glanced at his father hoping that he would get his approval this time because he could not think of any reason to why Mr. Lam would not like Tavia. Naturally he was right this time. Mr. Lam seeing that his son was looking at him, smiled and nodded. Seeing his father nod, Raymond smiled happily and held onto Tavia’s hand tightly. Mr. Lam turned back to his wife and Mr. Yeung and joined in with their conversation while Matt and Leila walked over to the exhibition section to look at the children’s painting.
“Let me introduce you to my brother and my sister-in-law. They’re over there playing with the children.” Raymond whispered in Tavia’s ear.
“Sure.” Tavia smiled as she see her father getting along relatively well with Raymond’s parents.
“Gor, Dai-so… this is my girlfriend Tavia. Tav, this is my brother Louis and my sister-in-law, Jessica.” Raymond said proudly as he introduced them to Tavia.
“Pleasure.” Tavia smiled as she shook their hands.
“A pretty girlfriend you have there.” Jessica smiled.
“Yeh I agree. A lot prettier than my wife.” Louis laughed.
Tavia blushed. “Yeh I know my girlfriend is pretty but Dai-so, you’re just as pretty.” Raymond giggled.
“Thank you Ray.” Jessica laughed as she gave her husband a death stare.
“Hey, I’m just kidding… of course my wife is pretty.” Louis laughed as he hugged his wife.
They all laughed.
*******************
Generally, the day went extremely smoothly. Both families got along with the other really well. Mrs. Lam loved Tavia and was very glad that his son managed to find this great girl. Mr. Lam although never said anything about Tavia, it was pretty obvious that he too thought Tavia was a great girl. After dinner, everyone headed home except Raymond and Tavia who decided to go out for a drink. In the car, Raymond grabbed Tavia’s hand. “Everyone in my family loved you!” Raymond smiled happily. “I cannot tell you how happy I am right now.”
“Yeh, I’m glad both our families got along with each other.” Tavia giggled.
“Yep. I should start worrying now. When we get married, your position in my family will be a lot higher than mine since they all love you. I need to start bribing my family members before it’s too late!” Raymond chuckled.
“Who said that I’m going to marry you?” Tavia laughed. “You know I have a lot of people after me. I might not end up having to choose you!”
“Then who will you choose?” Raymond pouted. “Am I not good enough?” Raymond gave Tavia a puppy face. “I’m going to beat up whoever that tries to get near you! You’re MINE… muhaha…”
“We’ll see how you perform!” Tavia giggled as she hit Raymond on the arm playfully. “Your mom told me to tell on you if you’re no good. Let your mom deal with you.”
“So that was what my mom was whispering into your ears when we were about to leave!” Raymond cried out as he nodded.
“Yep. You better watch out Mr. Lam!” Tavia grinned.
“You won’t tell on me coz I’m always soooooo nice to you. You know I love you so much I would never do anything to hurt you!” Raymond whined.
‘We’ll see. You better behave!” Tavia smiled victoriously. “Oh my goodness, I still need to do some Christmas shopping tomorrow.”
“Is my name on your ‘Presents to give’ list?” Raymond asked with a grin on his face.
“Um… maybe…” Tavia replied.
“So what you getting me…?” Raymond asked excitedly.
“If I remember correctly, I only said that your name MIGHT be on the list.” Tavia grinned.
“MIGHT? Oh so it’s a MAYBE only?!” Raymond cried out as he tickled Tavia.
Tavia who was giggling away cried out. “Okay you win. Your name is on the list. Stop tickling me…” she reached her hands out and whacked Raymond on the arm again.
“That’s more like it!” Raymond replied as he stopped tickling Tavia.
Catching her breath, Tavia asked, “So what do you want for Christmas Mr. Lam?”
Thinking hard, Raymond stopped his car on the side and unbuckled his seatbelt. He turned around and looked at Tavia. Gradually leaning closer to Tavia, he smiled evilly.
“Okay… what is it this time? You want me to scream?” Tavia giggled.
“You know what I want…” Raymond grinned.
Tavia raised her eyebrows.
“I want… YOU!” Raymond stopped when he was just a couple of centimeters away from Tavia’s face.
“So you want me to wrap myself up and lie under your Christmas tree?” Tavia laughed.
“I don’t mind. Actually, don’t lie under my Christmas tree. The floor is dirty. Lie on my bed instead!” Raymond grinned evilly again.
“Hah. When did you become so dirty minded?” Tavia smacked Raymond on the arm again.
“And when did my girlfriend become so violent?” Raymond asked as he grabbed hold of Tavia’s arm and pulled her towards him.
