"Sometimes I doubt if you love me at all, because...not once have you stood up for me... it's not like I'm asking you to disrespect her but at least make me know that you don't agree with her conclusions about me" She wiped her tears in attempt to l...
Saturday came like a flash to the surprise of Michelle, Derek, and Nathan. They dreaded going for the family dinner so they decided to watch movies that day to ease the tension. Michelle ordered pizza they could eat while watching the movies. After the movie marathon, Derek and Nathan went upstairs to shower and get dressed. Derek had wanted Michelle to join him in the shower but she insisted on cleaning up the mess they made in the TV room. She knew Derek was still ecstatic about Thursday night, he loved her surprise and the Armani suit she got for him as a birthday gift and she was proud of herself for making him that happy but that wasn't the case at the moment, she needed to think about what was going to transpire tonight because she was certain Rebecca would stop at nothing to get her offended. She sat for a little while in the living room trying to prepare herself for the worst before going upstairs to get herself ready.
Michelle was a nervous wreck, she was scared about going for dinner. She thought having a warm bath was going to help ease her nervousness but she was wrong. She tried opting out by making Derek see reasons why she didn't want to go but Derek insisted that she should attend not just because he needed her there but because his dad was currently in Washington and was eager to see her. She looked at herself in the mirror one last time before leaving the room.
Derek and Nathan were waiting downstairs in the living room discussing.
"I'm ready." She announced getting both of their attention.
Derek smiled at how beautiful his girlfriend was. Her hair was straightened this time. She was wearing an elegant beige color pencil midi dress with lace, it hugged her body perfectly. He felt blessed to have this woman in his life. He stood up from the couch and made his way toward her, he kissed her on the cheek and said,
"You look beautiful,"

Michelle blushed at his compliment and replied,
"Thank you."
Nathan also stood up from the couch and said,
"Wow, Michelle! You're looking gorgeous."
"Thanks, Nathan." She replied with a smile.
"We need to get going. Dad sent his chauffeur to come get us." Nathan then said.
"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot the wine you got for your dad... I'll go get it." Michelle told Derek before excusing herself to go get the wine from the wine cellar.
"I'll be waiting in the car," Nathan said leaving Derek alone in the living room.
Derek on the other hand was hoping his mom won't ruin tonight's dinner like she always did. He never for once liked what his mom did but he had no idea why he hadn't been able to say anything to her, to at least stop her from continuing her verbal abuse of Michelle. Maybe it's because he didn't want to hurt her feelings but she was hurting his without even realizing it. He would marry Michelle right here, right now if it were up to him but he didn't want them getting married under such a tense atmosphere. If he had a choice, he would love to have a private wedding but his dad wouldn't want that since he was a well-known businessman in the country and Michelle was from a rich family so having a private wedding was out of the question because he didn't want to upset his dad but he wanted something small and private because he was scared his mom would make a scene or make false accusations about Michelle on that special day since she was good at doing that. God, his thoughts were all over the place. He wanted all this to be over pretty soon but he doubted that would ever happen, time was no longer his friend as he was already getting impatient and desperately wanted to make Michelle his wife.
