"You want me to watch Dash while you go to the engagement party? No problem he says
"Um no not exactly" I say
"Okay spill Rylee what's up?" he ask
"I was speaking to my sister a couple months ago and then she was up to her old crap which is making me feel like shit and how much better she is then be and I told her that I have a man who loves me and I don't but I can't show up by myself and my mother can't to alone" I say
"So who will watch Dash if we go?" he ask
"I mean he'd go with us I don't see why not?" I say
"So you want me to be your date and who were thinking when you told this lie to your sister and honesty Rylee that's what i want to know!" he ask
"I mean i did picture the person I was talking to online which is was you gosh I can't believe that" I say
"I'll go Rylee but on one condition!" he says
I look at him and wonder what he can want from me he better Not ask for something stupid because I'll hit him and go alone and torture myself at the weekend extravaganza
"I want you to have dinner with me tomorrow and talk to me we need to figure what's happening" I say
"I... Ughh fine okay you gonna pick the place" I say
"Okay so sure I'll be your date I guess I'm not much of An ass huh" he says
"You are I'm just desperate okay" I say
"Sure tell yourself that Rylee" and we both head downstairs and I see my mom on FaceTime and dad playing with Dash and I walk up to her and regret it when I see Alicia
"Hey sis good morning will you be attending my engagement?" she ask
"Hello Alicia and yeah I'll be there Friday" I say with no émotion
"Ahh so you'll be moms date Friday and single when dad comes Saturday don't worry there's men here maybe you can find one" she says fucking bitch I roll my eyes
"Actually mom will be coming with me and my man Friday so no I don't need your boring ass friends" I say
"Oh well I wasn't expecting that well see you all Friday can't wait" she says
"Barf remind me why you guys wanted another child oh em gee who is marrying her" I say
"Rylee stop it please!" mom says
"Okay fine but you see how condescending she is like she always starts shit with me" I say
"Yes I know and I tell her to cut the shit but you both just tit for tat" mom says
"Whatever I really don't want to go I have to much shit to deal with right now and Alicia is not what I need nor want right now" I say
"I know but you're doing it for me and I appreciate so much so me and your father will leave now so you can get some peace" she says kissing my cheek
"Dash come say bye to grams and pops" I say and he runs to hug them
"Uh Rylee I'm off tomorrow so I can pick up dash after school feed him and hangout a little and then drop him at my brother's so he can hang with Rome while we go out if that's okay with you" he
says
"Yes that's fine" à little nervous to have dash alone with Henrie but he is his dad so I have to get used to it he smiles and nods
And then my parents walk out the door and Then Henrie gets up to leave and says good bye to me and Dash and then I spend the whole day with my son trying to get out of the rut and emotions I'm feeling
The next day
Today has flown by idk what's going on but it's like time just wants me to rush on this date but time keeps flying and now I'm home just finished to get ready and Henrie is already ringing my door bell
So I get up and go open the door and he's standing there with flowers and smiling
"You look beautiful Rylee hello!" he says and hand me the flowers
"Hi thank you Henrie you look very handsome yourself lemme put these beautiful flowers in water" I say
I walk and set the water in the container and then sit the flowers in and turn towards him and we walk to the car and I'm so nervous I don't know how I want this to go or how it will in general we drive 30 minutes to the Resturant and then walk through and he ask for a back booth I catch him looking around and I do the same
"Are you nervous?" he ask
"Um yeah I don't know how to do this I mean with you it's hard because it's not what I was expecting" I say
"I understand so why did you go on the app?" he ask
"Umm if we're being honest I did want a friend to talk to I don't really have non hence I'm always with my parents and you" I say
"That's not a bad thing you have a great Relationship with them and I wanted to get away from my bubble if were being honest I wanted to be the me you saw" he says
"Did you expect finding romance?" I say
"No I actually wasn't but I did meet this amazing woman and Rylee I honestly loved talking to you every day it was the highlight of my day" he says
"You were mine too you just don't know how we get passed the real version of us to get to online one" I say
"By taking a step at a time baby" he says and my heart beats because it's the line he's said to me for over the last year
"That's true and I'm really sorry for leaving you there last week stranded with flowers at the Resturant" I say
"You could've been a trackstar with how fast you ran!" he laughs
"I just couldn't put it together that my sweet handsome man was you I honestly read papers about you and when I met you you matched what I expected" I say
"And what was that Rylee? entertain me!" he ask
"A rich self observed asshole gigolo you litterally are posted with different women at every event and I'm sorry but they seem like they don't do much thinking and all looked the same completely different from me" I say laughing
"Well I was born to flirt baby and I'm pretty good at it" he says laughing
"Henrie honestly what am I going to do with you" I say shaking my head laughing
"To love me as I am" he says quoting one of my favorite songs but also looking into his eyes it's seems like we crave the same thing we go through the night and talk more and laugh and I'm honestly enjoying every moment then were off to get Dash at his brothers and he heads to drive us home
Tommorrow morning I wake up early to pack for me and Dash but clearly not early enough because my mom and Henrie get here at 7:00am and we don't leave till 9:00 after mom cooked breakfast in my kitchen again
Its an easy drive no problems mom talks to Henrie to get to know him more Dash plays games and sings and watches movie and time just flies I haven't really spoken to Henrie I don't want to give Dash any ideas because I have no idea where this will go When we turn the corner I see someone waving and I notice my sister
"Mom are you kidding me you told me we won't see her till tonight" I say
"Rylee i didn't know I would've told you or advice her not too" she says
"Whose that mommy?" Dash ask
"Our worse nightmare and a whore" I whisper so he can't here and my mom rolls her eyes and scolds and Henrie laughs I park the car and get out first while Henrie takes dash out
"Omg sissy... Mommy.... how long has it been can you believe we're here for my engagement weekend I'm so happy" she screams and hugs me why am I here again
She then tries to peak whose left in the car to see how much I lied but bitch is in for a fucking Suprise because she won't up me
"Whose that?" she yells with her eyes going wide looking directly at Henrie
"My man" I say smuggly but my insides are clenching what am I doing
