Fat, Arranged, and Unwanted

Chapter 2

I get up early to get to the airport and I make it on time. I finally board the plane and start to think what will be in store for me because every time I go back, there's always drama. The last time I went home, which was last year, my ex-bestfriend decided that it would be cool to show up at my mom's house with my ex-boyfriend knowing that I was going to be there. My mom supported the couple 100% and told me to loose some weight, then I could probably keep a man. Of course like my stupid self always does, I pushed it into the back of my mind. At the end of the day, she's still my mom. I snap out of my trance to see that the plane has taken off and my eyes feel heavy until I finally close them.

A few hours later..................

The person next to me shakes me to let me know that the plane has landed. I get out of my seat and rush to baggage claim because you never know the type of thieves that be at the airport. Anyway, I get my stuff and go outside to see of anyone was here to pick me up and my mom texted me that she was about to go to sleep,s o of course I had to call an Uber. As soon as I make it back to my parent's house I go straight to my parent's room because I know that they're sleep by now. I go and unpack and start to question my decision on actually coming back home for something that was probably smaller than exaggerated,  but there's no turning back now since I'm already here. I decide to take a short shower and I lay down and as soon as my face touches the pillow I fall right asleep.

The next morning...........

I wake up with the sun shining bright in my face. I get up and go downstairs to get something to eat since I hadn't had something since lunch yesterday. I see my parents conversing and they finally look up and acknowledge my parents.

"Hi mom and dad."

"Hi sweetie.", my mom says and my dad just scoffs and turns his head to continue reading his boring ass paper.

"Well what's for breakfast", I ask already knowing what to expect.

"Well sweetie I have a fresh grapefruit for you and a bottle of water."

"Can I pleeassseee have something else I'm starving."

"Well that's good, maybe you can lose some weight so that somebody can actually find you attractive."

I swallow the tears and stay tough and say, "Of course."

I just eat the nasty grapefruit because I was about to starve to death and I go back to my room to take a shower. I chose my outfit, which consisted of black ripped jeans with a white t-shirt, a knitted sweater, and a silver necklace. As you can tell from my outfit, I don't like to show skin. 

I go downstairs and my mom tells me that there is someone that I have to meet later. I'm just thinking that it is one of their usual worker buddies or some new neighbor. They want me ready by 9 sharp and to wear something nice and "sexy" and they both rolled their eyes when she said that.

I go upstairs and find this perfect bodycon burgundy dress with black sparkly heels . I lay it out for the day and I start studying for an exam that I have next week.

3 Hours later.............

"Monae get dressed noww."

"Ok mom I'm coming."

I check my clock and it is 8:55. I took the quickest shower ever and lotioned faster than the speed of light. I put my dress and heels on and out my faux locks into a nice neat bun and added some natural-looking makeup, but made sure to match my dress with a dark red lipstick.

I get downstairs to meet my parents and they are both dressed nice and they finally see me and they both laugh and shake their heads.

"Why can't I just be beautiful one time." I think to myself.

We hop in the limo and my mom gives me the run down and tells me not to say anything, unless directly asked and to say yes to everything that they ask and I agree. Nothing too extreme right? Or so I thought.

We arrive at the restaurant and we go into a nice VIP room that has a whole nice dining setting with soft music playing in the background. I see three other people with their backs turned to us.

"Gloria and James finally good to see you."

They turn around and they both have dark skin . Gloria has her naturals curls pinned down with a black dress and a fur shawl drenched around her shoulders. James has a black tuxedo on with his hair in a nice buzz cut.

"Hi. Glad you made it." Gloria said.

" Thank you and I have what we were talking about."

"Ohh yes hi Monae I am Gloria White and this is my husband James White."

I shake both of their hands and say a polite hi.

"JOSHUAA"

The other mans turned around and when I say he was fine he was fione. He is possibly the sexiest man on the face of the earth. He was dark skin just how I like them. His muscles were basically bulging through his tuxedo. He some pearly white teeth and a smile that'll have your knees weak.

"Monae I would like you to meet Joshua, your new fiance."
