all the ride to the restaurant I kept quiet, both cursing my luck for having to face my ‘favorite’ couple on earth and imagining some possible scenarios, what? I can’t always be ready to answer back, even I need some practice sometimes even though arguing and talking back to people is basically all I do in my life.
the only problem is that i have to mind my language since Chris’ father will be there, and I have to keep a polite and professional attitude too, it sucks I know.
we apologized for being late and sat down next to each other with Chris pulling the chair for me, Eva was in front of me and Chris and Adrean were facing each other with Mr.Carter next to them at the head of the table. then it was a complete silence, not that I complain though it’s better this way nothing but bullshit leaves their mouths.
Mr. Carter decided to be the one to start a conversation and just like that the men talked about work for a few minutes before the waiter took our orders, I again apologized because I didn’t have an appetite and just ordered some drink, all what happened today with the trash in front of me and sitting in the middle of the restaurant just doesn’t set well with me. I think you can guess who chose it.
as our orders arrived I broke my silence again just to thank the waiter and sipped on my juice slowly and quietly.
“You’re only having a drink for lunch, April, don’t you think it would be a bad example for your step daughter? ” I choked on my drink hearing that, Chris’ father knows nothing about this mess.
“Miss Anna. ” I corrected her first before continuing “don’t worry about that soon to be Mrs Black. ” I mocked her self introduction. “I usually eat well and take care of her well too, loosing my appetite due to unwelcomed reasons isn’t considered a diet, eating only salad as a whole meal like a goat would be. ” I again implied to the salad she ordered as her ‘lunch’ there’s only lettuce literally, I don’t even see any seasoning. she was clearly mad, but she can’t say anything since I didn’t directly target her.
“don’t mean to be rude but your weight doesn’t exactly imply to what you’re saying. “
“oh, don’t worry you’re not rude at all, but see… i’m actually even gaining weight now compared to how I was before, if I stayed with my ex much longer, I could’ve died, when the doctor saw me she was shocked she thought I was famished for months or something, but thanks to Chris i’m doing well now. ” I know it wasn’t exactly a wise move to mention my past relationship, but I wanted to insult him a little bit too, what?? you can’t blame me if i’m forced to stay with them I at least should have some fun.
“your ex? you mean you were in a relationship not long ago, and you’re already in another one? ” she kind of accused me, but well you can never outsmart an over thinker. If I mentioned my ex you should know that I thinked through any possible question.
“yes, but it wasn’t serious and we had our special circumstances, and i’m glad I ended it as soon as I found a chance, that man was a trash. ” I pretended to Cover my mouth with my hand faking a gasp.
“i’m sorry that was improper of me, but well, any girl who’ll ever be in any kind of a relationship with him must be an idiot. “
“oh, so you’re an idiot too? ” she mocked trying to make fun of me not really caring about me insulting her finacé, perfect couple indeed.
“I was once yes, it was one of the dumbest thing I did in my life, no the dumbest actually. ” I laughed a little bit just to be more extra. “but thankfully not anymore, I threw him away to his ex as soon as I saw her, oh believe me they fit each other perfectly, none of them is any good to the world nor the existence itself. ” I fake giggled like that was the funniest thing ever ignoring their gaze on me and decided to look at Chris who was quiet all the time eating his lunch, same as his father, did I mess up? probably yes I f***ed up, I know that.
“where’s your engagement ring though? I suppose you must be wearing one already considering that you’re getting married soon. ” this time it was Adrean who spoke up, I think women talk time was over already, but I was in between talking back to him or Chris’ father who has no idea when he spoke suddenly, taking me and his son by surprise. or maybe just me?
“it was my request, I’d rather have a party for them to celebrate such a happy occasion and introduce her to the family before the wedding. “
“and it wouldn’t be proper to remove the ring only to put it back again, I’d rather it doesn’t leave her finger after she wears it. ” Chris finished for his father and I was trying hard to keep the sweet touched smile on my face.
why didn’t he tell me about his father? and do they really need to do so? he could just made my weight an excuse, like I’ve gained weight and the ring didn’t fit me anymore so I had to adjust it, could’ve been much better, at least for me because that’s what I was planning to say. yes I thought about this one earlier too, this is the power of overthinking I guess.
“oh, hope we’re invited then. ” eva said instead since Adrean was left speechless.
“of course -“
“yes. ” Mr. Carter cut me off as I was about to deny obviously and I couldn’t say anything more, I just have to go with it, yey, it’s going to be fun!!
the lunch was over, so I decided to go to the ladies room and put on some lipstick before we leave, it’s a must for me and I already took long enough to put it on again, I always loved wearing it and I would never leave the house without it and since my lips these days are colorless due to my ‘perfect’ health my obsession became stronger.
unfortunately enough though that woman just can’t leave me in peace as she decided to follow me there too. she stood next to me fixing her make up as well when she decided to speak.
“so Adrean that you were so desperate for before now became trash that you found another one, I always knew you were a gold digger I just think Adrean took a bit longer to realize it. ” I couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
“you’re just so funny to me, giving out your well-deserved nicknames randomly to others is just so generous and humbke from you, or maybe just shameless and pathetic. ” saying the last part I glared at her coldly in the eyes, i’m starting to get seriously pissed off with them calling me that.
“in both cases it doesn’t matter anymore, I won, I took back Adrean from you and kicked you out, and soon I’ll get back my daughter too, so you better get ready this time since last time you were obviously not prepared. ” she said swallowing her anger.
“if I wasn’t ready like you just said, shouldn’t I be alone, penniless and sad? I have a job, a home, a fiance and a daughter too without going through all those hardships of giving birth, seems just so perfect for being unprepared don’t you think? ” she took a step towards me trying to intimidate me especially that she was much longer especially that she’s wearing high heels, but I didn’t even bat an eye.
“we all know what happened this morning with Adrean, so if you’re really having your perfect life then stay away from him, or you’re going to regret it. “
“oh, trust me IT IS perfect, but it’s not my fault your man has no boundaries and keep running behind me like some loyal dog, though loyalty is something he knows nothing about, try to control your man instead of bothering me with your problems. ” I turned around to leave after saying that but I wanted to trigger her some more before doing so.
” as I said before he’s a trash, I don’t bend down to pick up a trash after throwing it away, especially that I made sure to throw it in a trash bin. ” I told her with a smirk looking at her sideways in the mirror, getting amused by watching her reaction since I called her a trash bin and her fiance a trash, wow, I love that line, it describes well how much they’re suitable for each other.
the mzn were already standing shaking hands all ready to leave when I went back to them.
“I think they’re back. ” Mr. Carter said upon seeing me.
“it’s only me, she said that she’d be taking a little longer, she said she’s sorry that she’s delaying us and that we can go ahead so that she doesn’t bother us any longer. ” I told them trying to be as convincing as I could, and thankfully Adrean was decent enough to apologize and ‘excuse’ us too, then we three left.
Mr.Carter went back to his company with his driver and Chris and I went back to his the same way we came here.
“did she really say that? ” Chris asked me with his usual smirk opening the car door for me to get in, and I laughed this time for real, telling her what I did in the bathroom just gave me inner satisfaction and peace for the day, god that was amusing.
“nope. ” I popped the ‘p’ before giggling again to myself as he chuckled too shaking his head unbelievably to my answer before closing the door.
“you don’t expect me to waste more time on them, especially after leaving her sulking in the bathroom. ” I said as he sat on the driver seat getting ready to go, with one of my biggest smile, it was a while since I had so much fun, who thought that it would be because of them.
“why? what did you do? ” he asked curiously but I Shook my head a no, still with the same expression.
“more like what did I say, but it doesn’t matter, just some girl to girl confessions. ” I giggled again at the word I used, yeah that was a confession at least from my part, right?
