" I was thinking I could come pick you up if you're going to my parents home. To avoid you driving in your condition. You know. It's not safe for the baby or you."I pressed send then waited a few seconds for her to text back but got no reply . I told myself that she was probably still getting ready or busy with something else that had nothing to do with going to the lunch. I just recently started back talking to both my parents but Niki had met my mother months back before the breakup and they enjoyed each other's company. Hence my mom asked me to ask her to come.
" Hey babe I'm ready."
My girlfriend said walking into the room with a huge smile. I did not have the heart to tell her that my mother did not want her present. My mother just did not like her because she feels she came in between me and Niki. On the other hand I too was getting bored of her and we had only been together for two months now. The excitement and fun we had before my breakup fizzled within a month of me being with her and I was currently trying to make it work.
" There's a message on your phone."
I was only a few feet away from my phone and I heard the sound of an incoming message but she had to announce it. How did I ever think this behaviour was cute. I checked to see it that it was a reply from Niki saying she had left. I hated how short she was when I tried to speak to her when she used to love talking to me. She would go on and on just about her day at work and I loved listening to her.
" We only have fifteen minutes left of we want to get to your parents home on time."
" Sure let's go."
" Don't you think we should bring them something."
" No they're not expecting anything anyway."
My parents loved thirty minutes away and we were soon on their front doorstep. She grabbed my hand to calm herself as we walked in the house. My mom seemed to have invited everybody from her side of the family and dad's side of the family and everyone else in between. It was more of a family gathering than lunch. We greeted everyone we bumped into as we walked in and they all replied even both my grandparents. I noticed the back door had a do not enter sign and my curiosity was peaked.
" Nice of you to show up. Mmm _Kerri _ hello. Do you mind borrowing me her for a second. You can help yourself but don't eat too many starters the food will be ready in a few seconds."
My mom pulled me into my dad's office which was the only soundproof room in the house.
" Why did you bring that girl, knowing we don't want her here?"
" She's my girlfriend mma."
" I know that and that's why I don't want her here. What will Niki think or feel when she gets here and finds that woman who ruined her engagement here."
I thought she would be here by now or maybe she is stuck in traffic or something.
" She doesn't know Kerri to think that and she's probably moved on with somebody else she won't care."
" It doesn't matter if she's moved on or not and she definitely knows that you left her for somebody else. For a woman you're sure clueless on the mind of a woman. You better keep her away from Niki."
We walked out to find there was a little commotion at the front door, the whole family had swarmed to Niki to welcome her.
