Unexpected

Rushed

My phone starts to vibrate uncontrollably. I hit snooze and stare at the ceiling. My head feels fuzzy, like I don't know what to do. I start to vision possible scenarios for dinner tonight. But I can't think of any. Why were Patrick and I fighting anyway. This was a stupid fight. Oh wait no it wasn't. What sick minded person mentions something about a persons past that they wish didn't happen. Does he really think I didn't want to tell anyone? I tried for so long but Shawn would always be one step ahead. I unlock my phone to see if I have any notifications. I have 4 messages from Abby, Emma and Lindsey. We are in a group chat.

Abby: Girls night tonight?

Emma: Would love to but I'm busy.

Abby: Awe. Okay defiantly another night.

Lindsey: Yes defiantly. Miss you all❤️

I decide to respond and let them know I miss them too and have important news.

Me: I miss you guys too. We have to meet soon I have big news🎉

I shut my phone off and enter the bathroom. I jump in the shower quickly and then dry off. I slip on my royal blue skin tight long sleeved dress and put on a little bit of makeup. I straighten my hair and slip on my ring and a long necklace with a heart. I step outside the bathroom to put on my open toe pumps with jewels all over them. As I'm slipping them on Patrick walks out of the closet in black dress shoes, black pants with a white collard shirt, and royal blue tie to match my dress. We make eye contact for a few seconds before I break it. Out of the corner of my eye I see Patrick slip his hands into his pockets and was towards me. He sits next to me on the bed and watches me as I finish putting on my shoe.

"You look amazing," he whispers.

"Thanks," I mumble. I get up from the bed and walk over to my walk in closet to chose a wallet. Patrick follows me put stays a few feet behind. "Why are you following me?" I ask coldly.

"Because I want us to be okay before we go to dinner and announce our engagement."

"Yeah I do too. I just wish you wouldn't make such nasty remarks about my past. You out of all people know what it was like for me to be scared to go home everyday and not be able to defend myself."

"I know and I'm sorry I never should of said that. Please forgive me."

"That's exactly what Shawn said after he beat me," I whisper looking down at the ground.

"I-"

"We should probably get going. We don't wanna miss our reservations," I say grabbing my sliver wallet and walking past Patrick and out of the closet. He tried to grab my wrist but I slip away just in time before he can say anything else. I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen were the rest of the Kane family is waiting for us.

"Ready?" I ask smiling. They nod and we head out of the house.

"Mama can you carry me?"

"Sure sweetheart," I say picking her up. Ella is apart of the family and it's only right to bring her to meet my family too. Patrick comes downstairs and walks behind me towards the car. I put Ella in her car seat and Patrick gets in the drivers side. I close the door and get in the passengers side. He starts the engine and we are on our way to the restaurant.

"Mommy."

"Yes Ella?"

"You look really pwetty."

"Thank you sweetheart. You look much more beautiful though."

"Daddy doesn't mommy look awesome?!"
