In September

chapter 11

Allie's point of view.

I regretted saying yes the whole night but what's done is done, Grace picked a few clothes for me and helped me pack.

Don't you think i should cancel it, you can just tell him, i got sick or i was kidnapped, i complained.

Are you even hearing yourself, who on earth would kidnap you Allie?, Grace said picking me an outfit. take this as a vacation, you have been busy with work and Mark who by the way ended up with someone else. Am not saying you should date Louis but what if he has cute cousins.

Oh come on Grace the last thing i want is a relationship, i said.

I know but all am saying is you cant paint empty pictures for the rest of you life, am just looking out for you. she said.

I know Grace is right but i think am happy alone, so i will just pretend to be his fiancee for a week, and more time to myself.

. . .

He was as early as expected, i had my hair tied up in a messy puff, handed him my bag i got in the car desperate to sleep because i spent the entire night trying to disappear.

As i stared out the window i could feel his eyes on me, i have had many people staring every time i tied my hair high, and it always made me insecure and i hated it, i felt bad that even his apology made me feel worse and weak. I lowered my hair and blocked my ears with music and slept.

. . .

When i woke up, a lady in her mid age stood by the door smiling, she seemed excited like a child as she came running toward the car, she reminded me of how my mother was everytime Father came back from his trips, she opened my door and gave me the warmest hug i haven't had in years, some thing about her was so familiar. We walked towards the house and was welcomed buy another hug from who i supposed is his Father.

Oh my this girl is pretty she said with her eyes fixed on me, i got distracted and missed what she said to Louis but i just agreed to it. she took me out of the first room into the next room that was as big as my apartment.

Am sorry am just excited to meet my sons girlfriend, am not always this jumpy, i hope you are comfortable around people i may have invited Louis' cousins and Aunts and my name is bella, but you can call me mom, am i talking to much should i stop, she said with a beautiful smile,

Don't bore the girl she's tired and you know how your sisters are, hey sweetheart lets go you freshen up and rest, its going to be a busy night, and yes you can call me Dad, he said as they led me to my room.
