Fitted For Each Other

_Chapter Four_

"The road to forever leads me to you."

God..

I have never been more self conscious before like how I am right at this very moment. Dillon is seated beside me, his Mother opposite to us while his father is seated at the head of the table. So many spoons.. so many forks.. and knives.. everything is shiny and sparkling! I feel like I'm being transported into some other time.

Holy macaroni!! Is this really what I've signed of? This fancy life?

Feeling like an intruder, I stay quiet and timid. I'm a natural born klutz! There! I admit it! I'm a klutz. I am a danger to myself! I should probably put some caution tape around myself.

"So, what do you do for a living?" Mrs. Mathews suddenly asks me.

"I'm a waitress Ma'am." I answered politely. She puts her fork down and tries hard not to frown. She doesnt like me. I knew it. This is a bad idea.

"How long have you been working as a waitress?" Mr. Mathews ask.

"8 years Sir." And Mr. Mathews nodded.

"Please call me Derrick, you're gonna be a part of the family and calling me Sir makes me feel old." Mr. Mathews tries to lighten up me. Giving me a kind smile. I smiled back at him.

"Okey Si- I mean..Derrick." he chuckled.

"Your 23 and you dont go to college. What would you offer my son? Your plain, too plain and ordinary." Mrs. Mathews spats venomously. My heart clenches. Wow, she really doesnt like me.

"Stop it Mother!" Dillon warns his mother.

"What? I'm just stating a fact here Dillon! Why would you want a girl who is exactly the opposite of the right girl for you? There is a lot of girls who are more suitable for you! Not this woman here!" Mrs. Mathews nostrils flare and her eyes narrows.

"Would you shut it Lillian!" Derrick interrupts. He is glaring at his ex wife.

"Oh c'mon Derrick. You know how this is a very silly idea! A bad publicity for the company!" Dillon looks like he is about  to lose his cool and shoot his mother. So me, being the sarcastic and hard headed woman I am stood up noisily.

Their eyes turned to me. "I will not let you talk to me like that Mrs. Mathews. Yes, I may be a drop out and a plain jane but you have no right to judge me and girls like me! You do not know me! You dont like me clearly but news flash Mrs Mathews, I.Dont.Like.You.Too. Give me the benefit of the doubt and get to know me first before you spat out words and judge me. Your son chose me! He choose Me! Over other suitable girls out there. Dont you think that's says it all?"

The three looks at me dumbfounded. I dont blame them, when I got here, I look and acted shy, timid and polite. Well, there goes the saying.. dont judge a book by its cover!

Dillon suddenly smiles proudly at me. It took my breath away. The pride in his eyes. I smiled at him back.

"Did you hear what that woman just said to me? She has no shame and definitely no breeding!" Mrs. Mathews exclaims angrily.

"Oh I heard it alright Lillian. And I'm proud that my son found a great woman. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying those awfull things to her. Dont think so highly of yourself." Derrick says calmly but dangerously at his ex wife.
