Zach came into work on a Sunday per usual. Even on a weekend, work never seemed to lessen for the man. But compared to the usual stoic expression he had on, the man seemed unusually happy as he dealt with the paperwork. He hummed an unknown tune as he worked and even whistled. If George, who was home on weekends would witness this, he would have surely thought it was an imposter in Zach\'s seat.

The door swung open. He paid no mind to the urgent approaching footsteps. Per usual, the person walked towards the liquor cabinet to get a drink.

"Why won\'t you to tell Mom? She\'s getting worse!" Xavier was annoyed especially after receiving his mother\'s message, well, one of the many she had been plaguing him with for the past week. He didn\'t dare open the message but could guess what the contents were.

"Not without her", Zach responded.

Xavier\'s mouth fell open.The woman was not even there but his brother had already turned into a henpecked husband. He won\'t make such a big decision without Amy\'s knowledge and consent. If his mother was not terrorizing him with her crazy idea, he wouldn\'t be this desperate. How does Zach not understand this?

"Zachery Theodore Frost!" An angry Victoria barged into the office.

Xavier was glad he had no drink in his mouth otherwise he would choke on it. He knew how much his brother hated his middle name and someone saying his full name. Sure enough, the said man\'s face turned dark instantly and his movements halted. But what had Zach done to infuriate his mother like that? Whatever it is, it must be bad enough to have her say his full name and middle name.

Victoria stopped when she saw her youngest standing by the liquor cabinet and pouring himself a drink. Warning bells quickly went off in Xavier\'s head.

"Why are you ignoring my messages?" She turned to him.

p "Who wouldn\'t? When you\'ve been terrorizing me with pictures of half naked men for the past week."

"But they\'re all a good match! Fine, forget those ones, did you see the one I sent not too long ago?"

"So it was a picture of another man? I guessed right! Mom, you should stop this or I\'ll block you!"

"But Xavier he\'s a doctor! I met him this mor-"

"You what?" Xavier\'s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. Yeah, his mother had lost it for sure.

"By accident or coincidence, whichever. I hit a girl with my golf ball and he just happened to be treating her. I took a picture when he was not looking", she had on a smile as she spoke; practically proud of herself.

"You hit someone with a golf ball?" Xavier said dryly. Not seeming surprised at all.

"It was an accident. Just see if you\'ll like him! I have to go and see how Nicole is doing this evening", she made a mental note.

Xavier paused in his movements. A grey eyed beauty came to mind when he heard that name. His mind took him to that Sunday afternoon he fucked a girl named Nicole. He still remembered her name because she had left such a deep impression on him. She knew what she wanted and how she wanted it, Xavier smiled at this thought.

But they never exchanged numbers and went separate ways, no strings attached; just the way he liked it. He could not help but think of her when he heard his mother talk about some Nicole she had hit with a golf ball. He took a sip and let the drink wash away those random feelings.

"Zach, did you call Henry?" She turned her attention back to him.

"No."

He didn\'t bother looking up as he kept his eyes glued to the monitor. She turned to glare at Xavier who quickly shook his head in denial.

"It wasn\'t me."

"I asked Edmund to inform him", Zach further explained.

Victoria\'s voice and expression turned cold as she settled on one of the couches. "Don\'t meddle in our affairs."

"Then I\'ll expect you to not meddle in mine?" He finally looked at her and arched a perfect brow.

So he knew about the blind dates. She had gone behind his back, this she admitted. But was he that offended that he had to take such extreme measures? Of course, Zach could be savage when he wanted to. There was no point in arguing with him so she decided to be honest.

"I\'m sorry, I just wanted to help you find someone special enough for you to spend the rest of your life with."

Someone to spend the rest of his life with? While the two thought he was looking at something work related on his monitor, he had actually zoned out. An image of Amy quickly came to mind. The rest of his life? He could see that with Amy and no one else. He could already picture how his life would be complete and perfect once he has her by his side. Once he married her, they would start a new chapter in the forever book, together. A smile made its way onto his lips.

"Of course, it seems you\'ve already found that person", she spoke softly it was almost a whisper.

Realization hit her when she saw the smile on his face. She had never seen him smile like that. It seems her son had found a good man for himself. He didn\'t need any of her help. She was a fool for trying to set him up with those women. Zach knows what he wants and he\'ll get it once he sets his mind to it. Whoever this person is, must be a great person to bring out such a gentle smile and serene expression on her iceberg of a son\'s face. Victoria could see it, Zach is in love.

"Alright, I\'ll stay out of your business. I\'m sorry for going behind your back, I was honestly too excited."

"It\'s alright."

But he was not going to apologize for informing Henry. He at least needed to know what happened to her even if it would infuriate her.

"That settles it then." She turned her attention back to Xavier. Before she could speak, he raised his hand to stop her.

"No. I won\'t hear it." He set down his now empty glass and turned to leave the room. But Victoria was quick to follow after him.

"Xavie!"

"Mom, I said no!"
