Hide and Seek
Tomorrow is the wedding! It’s finally here, after a year of planning and talking about it. At the start of the week I thought Id die during this week, everything was getting to me, even my best friend who’s the bride!! I guess its stress; I haven’t actually slept well for the past few nights. But who can blame me? I had the bride calling me every minute… Bless her sweet heart; she’s so nervous about tomorrow.
I was in her house today, all her family was round and so was mine. We were all talking and laughing when one of my aunties noticed that I was single. That conversation can wake the dead! I wasn’t listening to the whole conversation before but after my name and the words “still single” came up I was alert and ready to make a quite exit. But my aunts are like hawks.
Honestly, they didn’t even see me leave but I swear they heard me leave, or smelt me leave coz they all of the sudden asked me over to “join” the conversation.
Now with my best smile pasted on my face I walked over to them and sat down. In my mind all I was thinking was how I can make my phone ring or how I can faint so I can avoid this conversation! And again, like before, they must of felt or smelt something and one of them reached out to hold my hand. I was kind of impressed by the pre-cautions they were taking. I mean they actually had all areas covered! No where to run and hide.
So there I was sitting in-between my aunties. One of them starts to talk about her son and him being so nice and gentleman like. Whatever! I know him and I know how he’s like. I swear these people could sell air to people. Honestly that’s how they were talking about their sons. Until one of them said out load how she met this guy from America and how nice he is and how well mannered he is. And the fact that he is going to the wedding tomorrow is a coincidence!
That was my cue to leave. I said that I heard someone call me from outside and I ran like the wind. I have never ran so fast in my life, but when its an emergency anyone could!
My mission for tomorrow, not only do I have to keep everything under control I also have to avoid Mr America and the 20 aunties that would be following him round. I can just picture it, he’s standing there and like body guards, my aunties would be surrounding him away from other girls and looking for me with binoculars.
I really do love them, but when will they learn my heart is already given away. I’m just waiting for his heart, which apparently got lost in the post, isn’t that right, Mr Pitt?
