It's been awhile! LOL, hey there readers! So sorry for the lack of updates but here it is.. CHAPTER EIGHT! Enjoy~

Chapter 8:

The voice of him and the tone that he was using is telling me that he's being serious. I said, "What is it, Matt?"

He replied, "The acting will begin right now!"

My eyes widened, "You mean the part where I have to your fake girlfriend?"

"Yep, cause my mom has been bragging about my so-called-girlfriend, so you have to meet her today, Meems" he said with somewhat an anxious tone.

"Oh okay, but where should I meet your mother?" I asked, nervously. Thinking what if his mom is a judgmental kind of woman who goes for young ladies that have class with stilettos and dresses? Oh God, I'm freaking out, aren't I? DAMNIT.

"I can bring you to her. What's your address? I should just pick you up there and we'll meet my mom at a café? How's that sound?"

"I guess that sounds good. What time? And what should I wear?"

"I'll be there at three in the afternoon? Oh I think you should wear something elegant and classy. My mom would like that, I guess." He groaned. "So, when are you gonna give me your address?"

"Oh alright, I can do that!" I said as cheerful as I can, whilst giving him my house's address. As we ended our phone-conversation, I went through my closet to find the perfect outfit to wear and after a few minutes which I might say it took almost forever to find the perfect outfit, I finally FOUND it! I grinned and though, 'This will be perfect. Mrs. Ishida will love it!' well that's what I hope.

I took a quick shower and put some light make-up on my soft and clear face. Putting some strawberry-scented lotion and put my perfect dress which is a light pink dress with some crystals designed or maybe knitted around the sleeves. The length of the dress passed my knees. I pulled up my hair into a loose ponytail, which looks good on me. And finally, I wear my pink sandals which have cute designs on it! And I smiled at the mirror, looking satisfy with my look.

And by that time, there was a horn outside my house. I ran down the stairs and yelled at my mom, "Mom, I'm going out! I'll be home later at night, so don't wait for me on dinner, ok?"

"Okay, honey! Be safe, please." She yelled back from the kitchen.

I smiled, "Of course I will, Mom."

I opened the entrance door and got outside. Matt was in the car waiting for me, I closed the door and locked it. I walked to the car and opened the passenger's door. I entered and greeted Matt, "Hey!" I smiled.

He looked at me, like he just seen an angel. As he realized that he has been staring, he cleared his throat, "Uh hi. You look nice.."

I arched both of my eyebrows and scanned his outfit. He was wearing a tight skinny jean with a plain Polo white shirt under his brown long coat. "You're not too bad, yourself," I smirked.

"Ah well thank you Miss Mimi. I bet you think I'm attractive now, aren't you?" he cockily grinned.

I faked my gasp, "You think I think you're attractive? Not in a million years, no, Matt. That's just no." I laughed. Okay, maybe he was attractive with those blonde hair and blue eyes of him. But I'm not gonna say that, his ego might level up.

He looked at me, "Why not?"

"I just don't think you are, Matt. So when are you going to drive? We have just wasted our time here talking about how we looks.

"Oh oh right. Let's go then!" he started the engine and drive fast. Oh what do you freaking expect from a guy like him, of course he will drive fast and not caring about whether the traffic police will chase him because he is freaking Matt Ishida!

Since silence atmosphere came around, I broke the silence, "So is your Mom a nice person..?" I looked at him, while he was driving. He look handsome with those sunglasses he put on.

He chuckled, "What? You're scared of my mom?"

"N-n-no, I'm not. It's just that I need to know about your mom since I'm going to please her later when I meet her, so maybe you should give me details about her?"

"My mom is not a scary person. She's caring and kind of lovely woman, for a forty four years old. She's okay, she likes polite girls with proper manners and the way they dress have to be properly. Looking at you, she might like you." He slyly smiled.

"Hearing that from you, it seems like she is not that bad.. I thought she will be that kind of parents who look for classy and perfect girls and probably a judgmental ones too, but I guess not." I said cheerfully.

"You shouldn't worry about her. Just be yourself, alright?" he grinned.

"Oh I will," I grinned back.

Matt turned on the radio and 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift was playing. i listened to the song and the worries about meeting Mrs. Ishida has gone and all that's left is confidence. My head said, 'I can do this..'

The car screeched as it parked at one of the parking corner.

"We're here!" exclaimed Matt.

I looked through the window and saw a French-look café. And then the nervousness feeling came over me again, I shuddered. I guess Matt saw me looked scared, he put his hand on my shoulder, "You okay?" his eyes are full concerned. I shook my head.

"Don't worry, I'll be there next to you when my mom is talking with you. Don't be nervous, Meems." He gave a reassuring smile and one of his hand squeezed my hand gently, telling me not to be nervous."

Matt walked out from his car and went to the passenger's door, he opened it and took out his hand, "Shall we start our acting now?" whilst he bowed down.

I stared at him and finally laughed, "Yes, we shall."

As I took his hand, we walked to the café, side by side while holding each other's hands. It was slightly awkward I must say but the squeezing helps me to relaxed a bit.

We entered the café, I looked around it. It was painted with brown and cream colored paintings and there was a small galleries. The café is full of people and there was noises of blenders and shouting from waitress to the kitchen. A sweet heavenly smell of coffee and pastries were filling the room.

Matt was still holding my hand until he said, "Oh there she is." He pointed to one of the corner of the café. I saw where he was pointing at, and I saw a brownish blonde hair woman wearing a cream colored blouse and black vintage with red roses long skirt, she has a pair of oceanic blue eyes which is similar as Matt's. and I realized that Mrs. Ishida is one stunning looking woman!

Matt led me to the table and he greeted his mom. "Hey mom, this is Mimi, Mimi Tachikawa. My girlfriend for months now." He said confidently. Wow, he was sure good in acting…

"Mimi, why don't you introduce yourself to my mom?" he looked at me.

"Oh yes." I said to him. "Um hello Mrs. Ishida, I'm Mimi and it's a pleasure to meet you." I politely said to her while lending her my hand to shook it.

She looks at me and scanned me from the top to the bottom. I nervously looked around the room. I was self-cautious, what if she don't like me at all? What if she thinks that I'm just a girl who is trying to destroy his son's arranged marriage with that other girl..? I can still feel her eyes looking at me..
