DECEMBER 16


My dear mother had invited me out to dinner with Mr. Valentino and his son. I wanted to say no well I did but she told me she would not talk to me for a month and well I didn't want that. So here I am getting ready to meet people I am not interested in.
She told me to dress to impress and well what can I say this is my specialty after all.

I went home and changed into something more formal since it was at a restaurant that had recently opened.

Remembering that I have a brown casual but fancy dress I looking for it matching with brown knee length boot.  I did a little makeup with nude lip.

While getting ready, I couldn't help but think about him

While getting ready, I couldn't help but think about him.  Why does he look as if I've seen him before, I have a feeling about him that I can't explain, but not one person has mentioned it so maybe I am overthinking this.

It's been almost a month since I've known Alexander and two months since my father in law.  I've yet to know what the contract will contain but let's just home this meeting is what it's about and some better understanding.

After getting dress I  went to the garage and picked up my Range Rover car jeystarted my 40 minutes journey to the restaurant.  I park at the entrance allowing the valet to park my car and gave a nice warning to him.  "Not a scratch let's it's your job and everything you own"

"Yes ma'am" he took the key from my hands and drove off.  More like crawling.

Entering the restaurant a hostess guided me after I told her the reservation name.  Alone sat my mother drinking water, maybe I can get some answers out of her before the men arrive.

I sat down and greeted her first "mom". I would have made more conversation but I'm still upset with her.

"Hi baby, how are you?". Not good that's for sure

"I'm good, you?"

"Surviving, I miss you though".

"Mom why is this happening? Why am I in an arranged marriage with someone and didn't know?"

"Honey, I wanted to tell you I truly did, it was a deal made along time aho by your father and Mr. Valentino". My father?.  I wanted to comment on it but with her keeping secrets from me I wasn't sure she would tell me the truth.

"Where are they anyway? I need to get back to the hospital." I lied

"They'll be here just breathe, relax, and be nice."

"I should breathe you're the one who nearly died a month ago. Stop worrying about me" I said

"Look they are coming." I picked up the wine that I had ordered and took a big gulp. My mother stood and greeted them both.
