Sunday afternoon Karma had arrived at New York back to her little prison. While she was on the plane her mind drifted away. She kept looking down at her ring. She couldn't believe she was actually going through with this. She was going to marry someone she didn't love. She kept telling to herself that she would grow into loving him. She had to. All this trip did was remind her of how much she missed Amy and that no matter how bad she wanted to drop everything and be with Amy she couldn't. Karma also thoughts were on the fact that Amy was dating someone else. She wondered if Amy loved her as much as she knew Amy loved her. She couldn't bare the thought of Amy being with somebody else. Karma knew that it would eventually happen but to have it confirmed stung her.
Karma got to her destination and Liam was waiting for her.
"There she is, New York's most beautiful fiancé." He received her with open arms. Karma just gave him cold hug. He went to kiss her and she turned him away. "I thought you had forgotten your old ways." Karma was very uncaring towards him, she would only kiss him when his parents were there or when they had to make an appearance as a couple, but on closed doors they were strangers. She would always hope that if she continued this behavior he would get tired and dump her, but no.
"How was your trip? Did you had fun?" he asked.
"I did. Anything is better than this." Karma replied coldly.
"How did they take the news?" Referring to the engagement.
"Good I guess. Lauren was excited. Only if she knew the reason behind it." Karma's parents took their engagement reacted the same way they did when they revealed they were dating. They were shocked, they always imagined Karma moving in with Amy or vice versa and eventually get married. They didn't have anything against Liam. They just like Amy better.
"Did you tell Lauren to invite Amy?" He questioned Karma.
"I did." She scoffed. "Too bad she isn't coming." She replied. Liam had planned for Amy to go to the wedding because he wanted to make a statement. He wanted Amy to see Karma getting married with him to prove who won her in the end. Karma didn't want anything to do with his little plan. "I mean he already has me. What more does he want?" She thought to herself.
Liam was a bit disappointed when Karma said Amy wasn't coming. "Well I guess we'll send her an invitation anyways. You can always hope." He smirked. Times like this Karma wanted to get out with Amy and run away from him.
Karma frowned a bit. "What is it honey? Don't tell me you miss her." He laughed at Karma. "Go. You can go if you want," He told her. "Just don't say I didn't warned you."
"I'm here aren't I? I cant' believe you're willing to marry me just so I can't be with Amy." She told him raising her tone of voice.
"You see Karma. I've told you this a thousand times. If I can't have like I want then nobody else will." He grabbed ruggedly grabbed Karma's cheek and kissed her. She pushed him away as fast as she could.
"I suggest you find one of you little playmates if you want to have sex." Karma said firmly, it was no secret Liam had his way with other women because Karma strongly refuses to have sex with him.
Amy woke up a bit nervous because today Lindsay was meeting her mother. She got up and began setting up everything for this afternoon. She hoped Lindsay didn't take this as sign that she wants more out of this relationship because Amy's head was still stuck on Karma. Around noon everyone except Lindsay were there. They were all in the backyard, Matt and Bruce were busy watching over the meats in the grill, and Amy was running around with Emma playing around and Lauren and Farrah were sitting drinking iced tea relaxing.
"Amy your phone is ringing." Lauren yelled holding Amy's phone.
"Is it Lindsay?" She asked.
Lauren looked at the screen, "Yeah, she must be out in front."
"I'll go get her." Amy told Lauren.
"Good, because I wasn't planning to." Lauren smiled. Amy gave Lauren a warning look.
Amy walked to the front door. Lindsay was waiting for her; she walked in and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"You look nice." Amy said to her girlfriend. She was wearing a short white lace dress. Lindsay handed Amy a bouquet of flowers she had brought for the table. Lindsay was a florist. It was a family business.
Lindsay couldn't help but smile, "Thanks you don't look so bad yourself."
Amy took Lindsay's hand, "Come everybody is out back."
They made their way to the table where Lauren and Farrah were. Bruce and Matt had just sat down.
"Mom." She waited until she had Farrah's attention. "This is my girlfriend, Lindsay McCormick. Lindsay this is my mother Farrah Cooper and this is my stepfather Bruce Cooper." Farrah smiled at her and gave her a hug.
"Nice to finally meet you Mrs. Copper." Lindsay said politely.
"Please call me Farrah." Farrah said happily.
"Lindsay brought some flowers for you." Amy added.
"Oh you shouldn't have." Farrah told Lindsay. Lauren was on the side rolling her eyes.
"Please have a seat. I'll put those in water." Matt spoke.
Lindsay thanked him and took a sit; Amy sat down next to her. Farrah began interrogating Lindsay all from where she worked to what her life plans were. Lindsay's last answer scared Amy. Her mom had asked Lindsay where does she see herself in a year and she replied that she hopes to be settled down and making plans to start a family. Don't get Amy wrong she wanted to settle down as well, but the question remained. Was Lindsay the one to do it with?
Emma soon came to the table and landed on her aunt's lap. Lindsay tried to make Emma laugh but Emma just turned her face away from her. Lindsay awkwardly stopped trying. Amy saw how Emma responded to Lindsay, Lauren was right. Emma does not like Lindsay one bit; it was more jealousy than anything. The little girl saw Amy's girlfriend as someone who was taking time away from her.
They all ate and got to know Lindsay much more. Amy was amazed of how good this had turned out. She was expecting Lauren's snarky comments and evil glances towards Lindsay, but she behaved. About 8 Lindsay decided it was time for her to go. Amy stood up to walk her to her car.
"So how'd you think I did?" Lindsay asked full of curiosity.
"Honestly I think they liked you." Amy replied truthfully. Except for Lauren but that was another case.
"See I'm a keeper." Lindsay smiled at Amy. She got in her car and lowered the window.
Amy didn't say anything she just went through window and gave her a kiss. Lindsay bit Amy's lower lip as Amy slowly pulled away. Lindsay waved as she drove off.
Amy walked back inside and began helping cleaning up.
"Amy I don't know why you didn't invite her sooner." Farrah spoke. "Honey I loved her. You should totally invite her over to my house."
Amy smiled, "That's so nice to hear. I'll bring her." At least someone liked her.
