Today I’m having lunch with Charles.
It’s our parent’s idea for us to ‘getting to know each other.’
I don’t think we’ll ever get along from the way things are at the moment.
Right now I’m in the mall with Mary telling her about my awful night.
All the while I kept blubbing, she was looking at the new shoe collection of Jimmy Cho.
“Wow, I can’t believe you went through all this.” She said trying to fit a shoe.
“Now tell me, is he hot?” She asked all of a sudden.
I’ve had many unexpected moments with Mary but never had I expected her to ask me this.
“What? How could you even ask me such a thing?” I asked taking the shoe out of her hand grabbing her attention.
“OK I was just joking but seriously tell me.” This time she gave me her puppy dog eyes.
I exhaled defeatedly then shook my head at her.
“OK fine, he has dark grey eyes and..” I was interrupted.
All of a sudden Charles was standing behind me, a smirk on his face.
I hadn’t seen him coming, neither had I expected him.
“Discussing me already?” He said, his smirk forming into a smile. “You can continue.”
He placed his hand around my waist. I felt as his grip tighten.
He looked at me straight in the eye hypnosis me. He had that effect on me that made me forgot what I want to say. He smirking at me victoriously.
I started to crumble as he held me in his arms.
“Yes actually, I was just telling her about what an ass you are,” I said snapping out of my thoughts.
I slapped his hand away from my waist.
“Very funny, now don’t forget lunch is at one. If you like, don’t show up.” He said rubbing his hand, I must have slapped him hard, my hands were still red.
He rolled his eyes at me then turned to leave.
IF I would get a cent for every time he rolled his eyes I would be a millionaire.
“What are you doing here anyway?” I asked him.
“I guess you’ll never know,” he said turning around then proceeded walking.
“Wow, is he the one you were talking about?” Mary asked staring after him eyebrow raised.
“Unfortunately” I replied.
She stood still for a moment staring at him not saying a word.
“He is hot. If I were you I would just s.uck it up and get married.” She said.
I can’t believe her!
“Are you even listening to yourself, you are supposed to be my friend. You know what, don’t even talk to me.” I snapped.
“Relax Elle I was just kidding.” She said letting out a laugh.
“You better be. Now you have to go and started getting ready” she paused. “Isn’t he the coffee guy who gave you h.ell the other day?” she asked.
I nodded my head.
“OK, good luck. Trust me you going to need it.” She said.
She placed the shoes back. She always does that, she tries the shoes but never buy them, it’s very annoying especially for the people who would want to buy those shoes.
“Bye, best of luck,” I said to her kssing her on her cheek. “Don’t wear grandma clothes,” she whispered in my ear.

I got home and got dressed in the black lace dress I just bought. That Mary had brought with my money. She always thought I had bad taste.
I was finally able to put my hair into perfect curls.
After a while, I heard the doorbell ring.
I walked to the door prepared for Charles’s body-shaming comments.
To my surprise, it wasn’t Charles but his driver who came to pick me up.
I took my purse along with a couple of things before going with him.
I asked the driver his name but instead, he ignored my question and turned the radio on to classic music.
It was more like a one hour drive. I had nothing but candy crush on my phone to entertain me.
After we arrived the driver opened the door for me then gestured a path for me to follow.
Maybe the driver didn’t speak English.
I took in my surrounding as I breathed in the lavender scent.
The place looked like a garden. In front, there was the line with a few tables spread around. In the centre, there were roses planted forming a pathway.
I walked along the path until it led me to a garden shed were Charles was already standing.
He smirked at me as I walked towards him.
I looked around to see a table for two centred in the middle with flower petals surrounding the table.
Without any warning, he pulled me into a hug taking me by surprise.
My body tensed not knowing how to react.
“I can’t believe you dressed up for me,” he whispered.
This arrogant j.erk. Does everything have to be about him!
I punched him on his chest pushing him away.
I walked away from him then sit on the table ready to get this day over and done with.
Lunch with him was the worst.
He all of a sudden tensed his mood changing. I didn’t do anything to him besides kicking him under the table and calling him a douchebag in front of the waiter.
He didn’t even take a look at his food. I on the other hand’ offered to eat his food. He just passed his plate to my side. He must have thought I was kidding at first but when I started eating his food. After I had finished my plate of food he started staring at me. When I asked him why he was staring at me, he said I eat like a man. At which I made a joke about and offered to buy him a salad since the roles had turned.
After lunch, it got quite interesting.
“We need to talk about this whole marriage issue.” He said all of a sudden.
“No, I’m not going to talk about this with you right now.” I picked up my bag ready to leave when I heard him say the most unexpected thing.
