Max
It wasn't until Millie hung up the phone that I realised how much my mother's opinion actually meant to her, I mean I knew she wanted to make a good impression but I didn't think she would be this upset after everything that happened today. I know my mum can sometimes be a little harsh and come across really strong but that is just who she is and that's where I get it from, I have told Millie time and time again that as long as she is happy and we're together then that's all I care about. I don't care what people have to say about us. We're happy and that's final but I feel like I needed to speak to my mum about everything that happened today with Millie as I wanted her to know that Millie is what I wanted and I was very happy with her. Hopefully I can swing my mum round and she will give Millie a chance like my dad can, he seemed to get on well with her and was interested to know more about her and her family, which was nice for me. I was glad that she got along well with my dad but now I had to work on my mum.
I grabbed my phone and called my mum's landline and thankfully it was her that answered "Hello?" She questioned as she answered the phone.
"Mama to ja, Max" I said to her. (Mum it is me, Max)
"Oh Max, czesc. Nic ci nie jest?" She asked. (Oh Max, hello. Are you ok?)
"Tak, jestem w porzadku, Millie jest bardzo zdenerwowany. Ona mysli, ze ja nienawidzic" I told her. (Yes I am fine, Millie is really upset. She thinks you hate her)
"Nie nienawidze jej. Po prostu nie sadze, ze to prawda dziewczyna dla ciebie. Co jest portzebne jest mila zona do domu do kazdej nocu, ze ponies swoje dzieci I opiekowac sie" She replied. (I do not hate her. I just do not think she is the right girl for you. What you need is a nice wife to come home to every night that will raise your children and look after you)
"Nie jestem jeszcze zonaty zaczyna. Ja I Millie razem od kilku miesiecy. Nie planujemy tylko jeszcze dzieci lub slub. To prosze dac jej szanse dla mnie? Uwielbiam ja" I pleaded with her. (I am not getting married yet. Me and Millie have only been together for a few months. We are not planning babies or weddings just yet. Will you give her a chance for me? I do love her)
"Jestem tylko patrzac na ciebie I upweniajac sie, ze jestes zadowolony" She said. (I am only looking out for you and making sure that you are happy)
"Mama, Millie czyni mnie szczesliwym. Bardzo szczesliwym" I replied. (Mum, Millie does make me happy. Very happy)
"Przed spieszyc sie z nia… to jest jeszcze jedno Helena I wy kiedys narrowed dobrze razem. Nie mozna dac mu dwa kolejne odejsc?" She told me. (Before you rush into it with her… Helena is still single and you two used to be really good together. Can you two not give it another go?)
"Nigdy nie kochal Helena. Bylem tylko z nia, poniewaz ja kochal I myslalem, ze bedzie dobry mecz dla mnie, ale ona nie byla" I confessed. (I never loved Helena. I was only with her because you loved her and I thought she would be a good match for me but she wasn't)
"Ale byly zaangazowa ne!" She exclaimed. (But you were engaged!)
"To bylo to, czego chcial ode mnie. Zerwalam z Helena I odwolal slub, bo jej nie kocha. Byloby to sprawiedliwe mnie sie z nia ozenic, kiedys nie czujesz to samo zrobila" I explained. (That was what you wanted from me. I broke up with her and called off the wedding because I didn't love her. It would be fair of me to marry her when I did not feel the same she did)
"Nie wierze, ze to wszystko" She said in shock. (I cannot believe all of this)
"Szukac bedziemy off topic troche tutaj. Dajcie szanse Millie" I stated. (Look we are going off topic a bit here. Just give Millie a chance)
"W porzadku. Jeden odiad. Jesli nie podia mu sie, ze to jej po… trudne nie bedzie zmienic zdanie" She replied. (Fine. One more dinner. If I do not like her after that then tough… you will not change my mind"
"to wszystko pytam. Teraz musze isc tak musze wsrac wczesnie do pracy. Dobranoc mama. Kocham Cie" I told her. (That's all I ask. Now I have to go as I have to be up early for work. Goodnight mum. Love you)
"Dobranoc Max. Tez Cie kocham" She replied. (Goodnight Max. I love you too)
After I spoke to my mum I started thinking about Helena. When we were together we were a couple that looked like we belonged together if you were going by looks but I just wasn't in love with her, my mum thought she was the best thing to ever be put on this Earth and so I asked her to marry me. As the wedding drew nearer I started thinking about what I was really doing, did I really want to be with Helena for the rest of my life? Wake up to her every morning? Get tied down so early with marriage and babies? The truthful answer was that I didn't so I sat Helena down and confessed everything. She told me she hated me and smashed a few things up but I let her go ahead as I had just broke her heard.
There was no doubt in my mind that Helena loved me and she would have done anything that I had asked her to do but I wasn't in love with her. When I told my mum me and Helena had split up she obviously questioned why and I just told her it wasn't the right time. She was really gutted and called Helena straight away to see how she was and that she was still welcome round anytime she wanted, the last I heard Helena was going to move back to Poland to care for her grandmother who I understand is very sick and needs round the clock care. Maybe she hadn't gone or maybe her Nan had died?
I was shocked to learn that Helena was still single. She was a very beautiful woman. She was tall and slim with dark hair and dark eyes to match, she was in proportion with herself and she knew how to handle herself. She knew what made her look good and she didn't care what anyone else thought of her, if she liked it she would wear it. She was a headstrong woman but she wanted a husband that would take care of her financially so she didn't have to work and she could stay at home with the babies. I wasn't ready for all of that and especially with Helena.
Me and Millie had spoke about ex's before but I hadn't told her that I was engaged to Helena just that we were together and it wasn't very serious. I don't know why I didn't tell her we were engaged, I guess I didn't want her to freak out start thinking that I could have been married to someone else. Being engaged to someone normally means you are head over heels in love with them and you would do anything for them, what I feel for Millie now is what I should have felt with Helena. I didn't want to scare Millie off and she had never really had a serious relationship from what she told me. She only had two serious boyfriends and then me, the first one ended because of his parents and the second one ended because he cheated.
Millie hadn't had much luck in the romance department but now I was here and I was going to make sure that she knows how much I love her and what I would do for her. What I feel for Millie, I have never felt for anyone else before and even though we haven't said the three magic words yet to each other I have a feeling that Millie loves me too. I don't think she would still be with me, sleeping with me and introducing me to her parents if she didn't love me and think this was going to be for the long haul. I picked my phone up and called Millie, I really wanted to speak to her "Hello?" She said as she answered, I also heard a yawn.
"Hi it's me. Did I wake you up?" I asked her.
"No it's ok I was just turning this movie off… what's up?" She asked me.
"Well I spoke to my mother and I told her how happy you made me and she decided that she would give you another chance, I think she feels a little guilty about making assumptions about you and she is willing to try again if you are" I explained to her.
"Fine, I will meet her again but if this doesn't work and she still doesn't like me then I'm not going to make the effort anymore" She told me.
"That's understandable. I was wondering if you wanted to come to my place tomorrow after work? I can make us some dinner?" I questioned.
"Sure. Sounds good" She answered.
"Ok well I better go. Goodnight Millie" I said.
"Goodnight Max" She replied and the line went dead.
