"Mom, seriously!
why would you even arrange a blind date when I am already dating Quinn. Why are you fucking messing my life"
"Watch your tone young lady, growing up doesn't give you allowance to disrespect your mother and I've got to know what's going on between you and Quinn. I've arranged this date for you and you are going there and meeting the gentleman. I'll email you the address and his details by tonight." My mom gives me that stern look that says T-H-E---- A-R-G-U-M-E-N-T ------I-S----- O-V-E-R.
My mom is someone nobody tries to mess with. After dad's death, she has been the one to control our family business and has led it to new heights. My family owns a chain of hotels in Europe and not just any hotel, it is the PATTINSON EMPIRE. Dad prepared mom for this when he got to know about his developing cancer. My mom wasn't ready for all of that but life hit her hard and made her a tough shell. She barely shows any emotions anymore. But one thing I am sure of is that she loves me the most. Although she barely expresses her love anymore I always find the bowl of her handmade ice cream in the freezer when I am at my breaking point. She knows when I need her and she has always been there.
And so I'll be going on this so-called DATE. But I don't wanna get married to someone I just met and more specifically someone I don't love and for that, I'll have to convince my mom that the person she has set me up with is an ultimate bastard or maybe he'll pick his nose or bite his nails or will stare at the waitress' tits or oh fucking hell!!!!!! . ok, so all I've to focus on is picking up a bad habit of his and direct it to my mom. I just hope it works.
QUINN has been my savior in all these past years. He is my childhood best friend and we have been playing fake dates and fooling my mom for the past two years. The first time when my mom asked me to go on a blind date was two years ago and I had easily lied that I an dating Quinn but I doubt I can use Quinn as an excuse anymore because he has found a girlfriend and is serious about her and I can't jeopardize his happiness just because I've not found someone I love and can get married to.
I groan thinking about tomorrow. I wonder what my life is gonna be like after tomorrow. All I can pray is that MR. GENTLEMAN somehow messes up.
My phone beeps and I immediately know that this is a text from my mom. I don't check it as I wanna sleep in peace. NO PLACE FOR NIGHTMARES TODAY. "You are so screwed ANASTHESIA PATTINSON" I mumble to myself and drift to sleep...
