54. Taste Of Her Lips

Jane:

"Hon, can you pass me that?" My mom asked as I sat on the kitchen counter, watching my feet sway in a back and forth motion. Picking up the dry rag, I handed it to her and watched as she dried them.

"Mamma, move. I will do it." I said, trying to snatch it from her hand only for her to take a step away from me and reach for the plate of roasted potatoes she made earlier and pushed the plate into my hand.

"Eat. You've become too skinny." She said, giving me a disappointed look.

"Me?!" I exclaimed turning around that I could see myself on the reflection of the TV in the living room. "I actually gained five pounds, and you're telling me I became skinny. Maybe I should go to the gym-"

"Do you know what your face looked like when you used to go to the gym? Well, you had no face. It was just two huge blue eyeballs and lips. Also if you want to wash dishes so badly go to your home. In my kitchen, only your father or I has a work permit." She said, making me chuckle.

When I was fat, that was a problem and now I am skinny that is also a problem. What do you want mother? I thought before I reached for the roasted potatoes and closed my eyes in ecstasy over how amazing it tasted. I swear. Potatoes are the best thing in the world!!

"No, I am serious. You are always stressing yourself over something or the other. Either in the hospital or at home. You're-"

"Mamma!Mamma! I am fine. You're the one overthinking right now." I grinned as she shook her head before smiling back at me.

"Did you talk to dad?" I asked. That was the main reason I came.

"Don't you think it's a bit bold of you to assume your father would listen to me?" She joked before realizing that it was bad timing.

The wedding was supposed to take place in December, and it is February now, and even now Vince and my dad are living in their own imaginary bubbles in which the other doesn't exist. We haven't even fixed a venue yet. We don't have a theme. We don't have a guest list. We have NOTHING!! If I say this to someone they would think I am crazy.

The other day I spoke about this to Nadia, and she just spoke like a Hippie high on pot and asked me to calm down and that there were ten more months remaining and that even she is taking the plunge in December, so I need to relax according to her. Seriously?!

Who is going to give her a venue when she and Nikki finally start planning their wedding a week before the actual wedding? Or are they gonna run away like he said they would when he proposed. I have like two weddings to worry about. Mine as well as hers, cos' she isn't worried about her's.

"You like Vince and he likes you. Isn't that enough? You know your father already didn't like him but then the engagement happened." She said. Yep, actually both me as well as my dad wanted my boyfriend to seek my parent's blessing before proposing. But yeah Vince sort of forgot about it and I could let it pass but my dad couldn't.

The only relief I had now was that my mom liked Vince. She said she was happy as long as I was happy and that if Vince loves me and makes me happy, she is cool with it. But my father, on the other hand, he hates everything about Vince starting from his job to attitude to his looks. My dad now thinks Vince is 'gay' after seeing some of the costumes the band wore a few years back. I don't even know what I should say to him. Vince is straighter than I am, and that was proven a few months back when he made me experiment things with a girl. But I don't think it's important enough for me to say to my friends or family, as of now.

My parents used to live in Philly until my dad decided that I was Cinderella who needed to be rescued from Vince and moved to LA a year back.

"When will he be back?" My mom asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
