Chapter 2 – Talk about bad timing!

“Okay, deep breaths girl, it’s just a date with Trey.” Michelle was trying to calm me down, I’m going on the date with Trey in 4 hours. “But Chelle, it’s Trey how am I supposed to remain calm you know how much I wanted to date him and now I am what if something goes wrong, maybe I should call and cancel” I sighed “I’m scared.” I admitted.

“Of course you are. Remember the time I was going out with Danny last year?” Chelle asked.

“Yeah, you got so scared you had me call him and tell him you left the country.” I replied

She chuckled “Yeah, lucky for us he left the very next day, but my point is that you should go on the date and have fun it might not work but maybe it might, you won’t know until you try.”

“You’re right, okay make me presentable.”

“YAY!!!!!”

After 3 hours of deciding what dress goes with the hair, and all the other things I had my outfit ready for my date and Michelle had gone home. I was singing to one of my songs when the door knocked, “MOM! DOOR!”

“I’M GETTING IT!” She yelled back. After 2 minutes she yelled for me to come downstairs.

“What is it? I’m trying to finish-“ I started but realized there were 3 other people in the room. A tall man with dark brown eyes, dark brown dreads and some facial hair was wearing a black suit, a woman, who I’m assuming is the wife, also had dark brown eyes and hair was wearing a black suit with a skirt though, they looked just like a normal couple. Then there was a 19-ish year old guy, he too had dreads and dark eyes and was wearing a black suit he was cute, but not as hot a Trey.

“Who is this?” I asked my mom. “Well, these are the Vamoses Brenda Vamose” she pointed to the woman “her husband Derek Vamose” she pointed to the older man “and there son Vladimir Vamose.” Lastly she pointed to the 19-ish guy.

“Hi. I’m Keyshia Ceil.” I said using my politest voice. Then I gave my mom the ‘why are they here look’.

“Well, honey we all need to talk so follow me into the dining room please.” We all walked in my mom at one end of the table, Mr Vamose at the other, Me at my mom’s right hand side, Mrs Vamose at Mr Vamose’s right hand side and Vladimir at his left side so he was opposite me.

“Well” my mom started “years ago when I was pregnant with you I met the Vamoses. I was only 19 then and I didn’t want a child so I did something really stupid.” She started tearing up.

“Mom, what did you do?” I asked starting to get worried.

“Honey, I… um… I- I” She burst out crying. I looked over to Mr Vamose.

“Perhaps you should let your mother settle before we continue?” I nodded and took my mother in the kitchen to clean her up. “Mom, what the hell is wrong?”

“Honey, I want you to know that what I did I did for you, okay?”

“Mom, what are you talking about?” She sobered up and started walking back into the dining room. “We should go back in there and continue the conversation, but just know I love you.” Then she walked out leaving me beyond confused. Once I sat back down we continued the conversation.

“Where was I? Oh, yes I didn’t want a child then and well” she took a deep breath, making me more nervous “I agreed that on your eighteenth birthday, you would live with the Vamoses and marry their son Vladimir.” I just looked at her… shocked.

BLINK

BLINK

“…YOU AGREED I’D MARRY SOME FUCKING STRANGER?!?!?!?!?!!?” I screamed standing up.

“Now honey calm down its not that bad-“ I cut her off “NOT THAT BAD I’M BEING FORCED TO MARRY SOME FUCKING PRICK THAT I HAVE JUST MET LITERALLY 4 MINUTES AGO!!!!!!!!!” I screamed and ran to my room but not before hearing “She called me a prick I’m not a prick.”

I locked my door and jumped on my bed, screaming into my pillow. After my meltdown I grabbed a bag under my bed and pulled out my weed, yes I smoke it only for emergencies and I’m pretty sure this is an emergency.

I had been smoking for about 5 minutes I decided to go back downstairs hoping that the Vamoses had gone. Unfortunately, the hadn’t they were still in the dining room with my mom.

When I walked in they all looked at me shocked. SHIT. I forgot I had just been smoking bud.

“Keyshia… did you?” My mom asked

“Just a little bit” I said waiting for the big lecture, but it didn’t happen she just gave me a disappointed look, which I didn’t care about right now, I sat back down.

“Look let’s face facts here, I’m not going to marry your son you have nothing on us that could make me absolutely nothing.” I said and leaned back smirking knowing that I had won.

“Well, actually to make sure you mother kept her promise we gave her 2 million dollars and she signed a contract, so we could take you to court.” Mr Vamose said smirking. He is so lucky he looks like he could fight me or I would have slap the shit out of him.

“Okay, look Men in black I don’t-“ I started but the door bell rang. I got up to answer it and Vladimir followed. I opened the door and there was Trey in a superhot black shirt and navy jeans. “Hey Keysh.” CRAP. Our date I completely forgot. “Oh Trey um come in.” On the way in he gave me flowers aww he is the sweetest and there my favourite orange/yellow roses.

Once I finished gushing over the roses I noticed Trey and Vladimir sizing each other up and I ran over to them “erm… guys what’s going on?”

“Who is this?” Trey asked completely ignoring my question. Before I could answer Trey’s question Vladimir stepped in “I should be the one asking you that?”

I was going to try to answer him aswell when Trey put him arm around me and said “I’m her boyfriend Trey, now who are you?” He asked growing impatient.

Boyfriend, he just said he was my boyfriend I started smiling and blushing a lot at that, so much that I didn’t notice the angry look in Vladimir’s eyes, then he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him, then Trey pulled me back to him.

Eventually, they were just pulling on my arms which was beginning to annoy me “You still didn’t answer my question, who are you?” Trey asked stopping the tug of war over me.

Vladimir then cleared his throat “I am Vladimir Vamose, Keyshia’s-“ I stared daggers at him for calling me by my first name “- Miss Ceil’s fiancé.”
