Oberyn was ecstatic to meet my mom. I tried to match his enthusiasm but I was so worried. I was used to Oberyn's speech and mannerisms, and I understood why he was the way he was. But mom doesn't understand all of that. Last time she heard from me, I was happy in a long-term relationship.
"Let's get you all dressed up." I said with a forced smile.
I had cleaned out Chris's side of the closet and tossed all of his clothes in the trash. In their place, I put all of Oberyn's clothes. I let him pick out his own outfit and he immediately picked out a button up shirt that was the same colour as his robe. Matched with a pair of black dress pants, he looked great. I put on a little black dress and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I'm not one for makeup, so just chapstick would do.
"Hope you like Italian food, your highness."
"What food?"
I laughed, realizing he had no idea what I was talking about. "What we had for dinner last night was Italian food."
He smiled. "Well in that case, I love Italian food."
It was only 4 o'clock and we didn't have to meet my mom until 5.
"Wanna take a quick nap?" I asked him, laying down on the couch.
"Of course. Move over."
We squeezed onto the couch and I was asleep within minutes. I hadn't realized how tired I was.
...
I quickly woke up, immediately grabbing my phone and checking the time.
"Oberyn!" I yelled, shaking him awake.
He immediately sat up, drawing his dagger. "What is it, my love? I'll protect you!"
"It's 5:30! We need to go!"
He let out a sigh of relief, tucking his dagger back into his belt. "I thought we were in danger."
"We WILL be if we don't leave ASAP."
"What is ASAP?"
"As soon as possible!"
We rushed out the door. The restaurant was walking distance from my house, only about 5 minutes. It was actually me and Chris's favourite place to eat.
I shook my head.
No. You're going to make NEW memories with Oberyn. He loves you more than Chris did.
We walked into the restaurant and I saw my mom sitting in a booth.
"Mom! I'm so sorry I'm..."
As the booth came into view, I stared in horror as I saw Chris sitting in the seat across from her. He had a black eye and a sly smirk on his lips.
"Oh, hello, Penelope."
I looked at my mom, she was staring daggers at Oberyn. Then, her eyes shifted to me.
"We need to talk. Now."
