I scanned through all the maids of the living room to find my mother. She was waiting for me. She just wanted to talk. I gulped making my way to her. I should be with Sonny right now, I thought. We've been dating for a little over 2 years and my parents haven't found out. I didn't tell her because of course she had a big mouth and she would constantly bother me about marriage. My phone vibrated in my jeans pocket as I got to her. I quickly wiped it out to see who it was from.
From: Sonny
To: Chad
Time: 11:55
Are u gonna make it?
My mom raised an eyebrow at me as I finally reached her. She wore a blue plaid blazer with a blue pencil skirt. She reached a finely manicured hand over to grab it reading the text. I couldn't let her find out. I tried to snatch it back but she twirled around reading.
"Oh whose this Sonny girl", she cooed. I dove my hands in my pockets awkwardly standing with my mother. She tapped her jimmy choo quietly waiting for me to answer.
"My- my-", I stuttered.
"Come on pretty boy tell me", She said coming closer.
"My girlfriend", I said looking down.
"A girlfriend for my mini Coop". My father came down the porcelain steps in a Men's Warehouse limited edition suit smoking a cigar. I gulped. I've never been so nervous in my life. He's a George Clooney look-like with a muscular face and lite gray hair with a touch of my black. As he walked his Italian dress shoes clicked against the marble floors.
"Yeah actually I do have a um girlfriend", I said rubbing the back of my neck. They wrapped arms around each other whispering things before they spoke up.
"We'll how long have you been dating sweetie", my mother asked. I gulped.
"Two years two months and one day exactly", I exclaimed. Their eyes looked as if they would pop out at any moment.
"Well why didn't you tell us boy", my dad said puffing smoke from his cigar. We went on and on about Sonny. I showed them pictures and they cooed over her being so gorgeous. Who would deny that? Finally they whispered a little more and spoke up.
"We have came to a decision. We would like to meet her".
I waited outside of Sonny's apartment building patiently. Tonight was the night she would meet my mom and dad for the first time. I was shaking with fear they wouldn't like her. And if they didn't we couldn't ever marry. If we planned too. She finally came out in a gray floral sweater over top a teal tank top, skinny jeans hugging her every curve, and black Jimmy Choo pumps. Damn, she is hot. Coming down the steps she smiled that cute innocent smile coming to my convertible. I got out opening the door for her she smiled before kissing my lips tenderly. I kissed back before pulling away letting her in. I shut the door and ran to my side ready to go to the nightmare I called home. As we drove I suddenly felt the need to pee. We were talking about random stuff and she was making me laugh so I had to go. I pulled over to the side of the highway and stopped the car. She looked over raising an eyebrow.
"You okay", she questioned.
"Well I gotta pee. And I don't want to leave you alone with my parents so I'm going in a bush. Okay". She rolled her eyes and nodded slowly.
"Only if I can come too", she said smiling. I laughed only wanting me to pee more. We got out hand in hand heading down to a bush. She stood off to the side leaning against an oak as I did my business. Suddenly I heard rustling in the woods. Sonny flinched coming to me. For me I was still going to the bathroom, but I had to stop. I zipped up and Sonny put hand sanitizer from her purse in my hand.
"Wh-o-o there", she stuttered clutching on to me. I began backing away as a black shadow crept from the darkness to reveal a old trucker. He wore a red patchwork roll cuff and ripped jeans. He looked about 500 hundred pounds and had like five teeth. Sonny covered her mouth from laughing and I just stood speechless.
"Can I have your autograph son", he questioned holding a sharpie in his right, with his left arm stretched out covered in hair. Nasty curly black hair. Sonny got behind me and laughed into my shoulder at his appearance. I signed quickly before putting Sonny on my back and running up the hill to the car. When we reached she jumped off my back and hopped back in. We where almost to my moms and tonight was going pretty strange. Even though I still had hope we would make it. I drove up to the u turn circle driveway outside the mansion. Surprisingly the high privacy gates were closed. Oh well. I put my hand in my pockets searching for my keys to the gate. Nothing was in my pocket but my cellphone and crumpled fifty. Oh crap, they're gone..
