"It's great that Masen and you're dating now. I always see this coming," My mother said to me on the phone.
"Hmmm..." I said.
"You both are perfect for each other." She beamed.
I wasn't sure about that part.
"Esme and I have always discussed this since you were kids. I have no idea what took you so long!" She said, "We honestly can't wait till you get married!"
Marriage? Seriously?
"I think you should slow down a bit," I said.
"I'm not rushing you," she said, "And the way you guys took so long to date, of course, I know that the marriage is a long way to go!"
I wasn't sure if it was ever going to happen.
Nothing was the same ever since we had started dating. I couldn't point out what exactly was wrong, but something didn't feel... right! It's like I was realizing that we were totally different people!
"Bells, we're waiting for you," Masen said as I received a call from him after some time.
"I told you I don't feel like coming," I said.
Masen and some of our friends wanted to spend the Friday night at the Pub, but I had some other plans in mind - I wanted to stay at home alone and read a book.
"C'mon... Don't be a spoilsport. We all are waiting for you!" He said.
Suddenly I realized that we always had these differences, but they never mattered before, because he wouldn't bother me if I had refused to join him, and hence, there was never really a problem!
I sighed. Maybe dating him was really a bad idea!
Or maybe I was expecting too much. I mean, it's just been a month since we started dating.
I needed to give this a chance.
"Okay, please give me a few minutes to get ready," I said.
"Great!" He said excitedly.
