Diary of a single mother 25
I told Steve (My Boss) what my mother said. He assured me he was going to meet with them that Sunday. I asked him if he was sure. He assured me that he has always been ready for that day.
I informed my that my fiance was coming to see him on Sunday. Just like my mom, he was skeptical.
“Hope you are not pregnant again for another irresponsible boy?”. He flared up.
“I’m not pregnant papa. I am getting married”. I replied angrily.
“Does he know you are a single mother? Hope you don’t want to deceive him into marrying you?”. He queried.
“You will tell him all that yourself on Sunday. Sha know that someone is coming to introduce himself to you on Sunday “. I said and stood up.
Steve asked me to stop coming to the shop as there was no need for me to keep on working for him. I was not satisfied. I wanted to keep on working.
“I don’t want to take advantage of the fact that we are getting married Obim. I want to earn my own money “. I insisted.
“Which money? Is it the #30k I am paying you? ๐. I have bigger plans for you babe. I want you to go back to school and improve on yourself”. He said.
“Are you not over spoiling me?”. I teased.
“Just wait till I am done before you draw your conclusions”. He said smiling.
I just loved my relationship with Steve. I thought the age difference would be a problem but it was rather a plus. He is so mature. He always has a perfect answer to all my questions. He treated me like a child. I felt so loved and secured.
He finally came to see my people on the scheduled date. He was so dramatic with it. He came with his other rich friends and his mother’s younger brother. They all pulled up in their expensive cars. My parents were short of words.
He came with expensive wines and gifts for my parents. He told them he wanted to make me his wife and that they should please give him the permission.
My mother couldn’t believe her eyes. She kept on singing his praises.
