    This all still feel surreal,just waiting for my mum to barge into my room and tell me last night was just a joke but I have a feeling that won't be happening anytime soon.

     From looks of things they probably have been planning this for a while since I was given an engagement ring before we all went to sleep last time.

    Am still trying figure how I got engaged and had an engagement party to a guy I don't know without my knowledge...I feel an headache coming up.

     If am going to survive this day,I need coffee.I have to make sure whoever it is am meeting hates me immensely before we depart so he can call off the marriage.He's my only chance at freedom.

     Mum was already in the kitchen making breakfast when I walked in.She didn't notice my presence so I called out a good morning to her.

     She jumped a little and turned to look at me clutching at her chest.Don't scare me like that again...

Sorry... Didn't mean to.

It's ok dear,she said already back to get cooking
 
So...Mum don't I at least get to see a picture of this guy I'm to meet.

You don't need to dear,he knows what you look like already and will be coming to pick you up by 12 noon so you need to be ready before then.
  
No, he isn't,I said giving her a blank stare.

And why not dear?she sighed

Am not a disney princess that needs picking up mum,just ask him for the name of the restaurant we are going so I'll meet him there.

Baby he's just trying to be a gentle man by coming over to pick you up!

I don't care ma,tell him not to bother and we would meet at a restaurant instead.

She sighed again,ok dear, I'll ask your father to tell him.

I muttered a thanks and left her to her cooking to get my coffee.
  

After getting the name of the restaurant,a fancy one that I know will be filled with rich snobby pricks,I decided to wear a black knee length gown and black heels with a black purse to match.I just love the colour black and it fits my mood right now.

I was ready to leave when I got a disapproving look from my mum.

Mum I'm not dressing up than I have already and am not going to use cosmetics or jewelry either,if he can't accept me like this then he can go to hell for all I care.

That's not nice Jane!!!At least promise me you would get to know him first before you pass your judgement on him.

How can I know him in day ma?I hope when a this falls apart you would leave me alone then.Am running late,I need to go.

Bye mum.

I got to the restaurant right in five minutes past twelve.I walked in and sat close to the window so I can see main street.

I was about calling the waiter when a man walked towards my table and sat down without being asked to.

Excuse me Mr whatever the hell your name is, can't you see this table is already occupied?

Oh,am sorry.I guess you don't know me yet.My name is Benjamin Franklin, your fiance.

I shaked his stretched hand and introduced myself ,Jane Moore.

If he is expecting a apology,he can wait for ever then.I was rude intentionally.I knew he was the guy am to meet here, it's so like mum to try and choose someone this perfect looking for her daughter.

What I just don't understand is how a guy as good-looking has he is got himself trapped into getting married to someone like me.

He looks like someone who would look better with a model hanging off his arms with all that muscle he seems to be hiding under that suit.

Nice to finally meet you in person he replied without releasing my hand.I was starting to get irritated by him touching me that long so I forcefully snatched my hand back and settled into my chair while giving him a blank stare.

He gave me a confused look before settling in his chair and signalling for the waiter.

If only he knows what he's in for...
