Confessions

Chapter 47

My Mother walks in with a bunch of groceries, and I stand from the table. 

"Richard, I didn't know you were going to be here." She brings the groceries and sets them on the table, before hugging her soon to be husband. 

"Maddie, may I talk to you up stairs please." She says as sweetly as she could. I nod my head and I follow her up the stairs. Once we reach the up stairs she leads me to her bed room and shuts the door. 

"So you know how much I love Richard right?" Here we go I thought to my self.

"Yes, I know Mother."

"And I know you still hold a grunge, for him because I know he's not your father." Little did she know he's not as bad as I thought.

"Yes, I know

"Ok well here it goes, he proposed to me!" She shouts in excitement. It's quite a nice feeling to see her this happy, I haven't seen her smile like that in years. 

"Thats amazing mother I'm very happy for you." I hug her. 

"Whens the wedding?" I ask.

"In about a week." She says like it's no big deal,

"A week? Why so soon?

"Well we don't want to spend so much time on it, I don't want a huge wedding but I still want one." She explains. My mother is getting Married. I never thought she would ever find anyone ever again, being as stubborn as she is. After my father had died, she was devastated. She wasn't the same for all these years, but now I can finally see she has finally opened up and I am glad. 

"Are you listening?" She asks waving her hand in front of my face.

"No sorry, what?"

"I need you to walk down the aisle with someone, and you have to find a dress it has to be white, or black ether one is fine." She says writing down something in her planner, a habit that the both of us share. 

"Wait, hold on who am I walking down the aisle with?" I question.

"I'm not sure, I will have to see." She says not making eye contact with me. My mind travels to Matthew, would matthew come with me?

"Can Matt do it?" I ask.

"Matthew? I mean if he wanted to come thats fine." She says.

"No, mother. I say taking the planner out of her hands.

"Can Matthew walk me down the aisle?" I say. 

"Oh, um I guess." She says. I smile and kiss her on the cheek, I run out of my room and grab my phone an plop down onto my bed. I scroll through my phone and tap on Matthew's name and call him.  

"Hey beautiful." He answers.

"Hey, I smile to my self. 

"What's up?"He asks.

"Soo I have question." I say. 

"Ok what would that be?" He questions. 

"Can I come over?" I ask instead of asking him about the wedding, maybe it would be better if I  asked him in person. 

"Yeah sure, is that all you wanted to ask me?

"Um yeah." I lie. 

"Ok... do you want me to pick you up?" 

"No, I mean no I will drive myself." I correct my self.

"Ok.. then I'll see you soon babe." He says.
