Jojo
I’ve been sick for a whole week, it wasn’t a 24-hr. bug it was actually a full-blown stomach bug, which was caused in my opinion of all the stress, but according to the doctor that was not possible. I was eventually feeling like myself again and now I had to go wedding dress shopping, ‘Say yes to the dress’ kind of shit. I was really not in a mood; they can pick one out for me and just give it to me it’s not like this was a real marriage of any sort so why should there be made a fuss about it.
Needless to say, I did get ready and met my mother downstairs for breakfast but for me it wasn’t breakfast I was having a smoothy. “And this?” I asked. Mel shook her head and looked down. “From now till the wedding you are on a diet.” My mom said. “Wait what? Why?” You don’t want to be fat on your wedding, would you?” “Are you telling me I’m fat?” I asked my mom very upset. “Well, there is a few pounds extra on you since you found that boyfriend of yours it was like you let yourself go.” I was so shocked with what was coming out of my mothers’ mouth. I just want to make something clear I haven’t picked up any weight since I’ve been in high school nor did I pick up any centimeters, I’m very proud of my fitness routine I do every morning and after I’ve been sick for a fucking week and didn’t have anything in my stomach, I was hungry. I looked at my mom and she knew exactly what that look mend the thing is I could just not say ‘Fuck you’ to my mom so my eyes said it. I took the smoothie took one taste and ran to the bathroom again to get rid of it. “What was in that?” I asked when I finally came back “spinach, broccoli, some powder I heard makes you loose weight and some other stuff.” My mom said with no expression on her face. “Well, that will be the last time I’ll drink of that thank you very much, Mel can you make me some scramble egg please.” “Yes sure.” “Mel you would do no such thing, liquid diet for her.” “Mom Mel can make it or I can but I will be eating food after the week I had.” My mom gave me the disapproving look got up and walked out. “I’ll have your scramble eggs ready as soon as possible Miss Jojo.” “Thanks Mel.”
While I was waiting for Mel to make my eggs I went onto Benjamin’s social media, and let’s just say I shouldn’t have done that. It was very clear there was no sign of him coming back very soon. When I was at our ‘Engagement party he was at his farewell with not one but a few super models he even left with 3 or that is what the article said. As Mel put my eggs in front of me, I threw my phone down and said “Fucking pig.” “What’s wrong?” Mel asked. “Just my lovely fiancé that is fucking everyone he can before he comes back to marry his virgin.” Yes, I know I’m not a virgin anymore but no one else does. “I’m sorry Miss Jojo.” “Don’t be, this was always my fate.” Mel left me with my eggs and a cup off coffee. When I took my first bite it was like heaven finally some food. I ate everything on my plate and finished my coffee in peace before my mother stormed into the kitchen announcing we should leave we didn’t want Mrs. Devon waiting on us. Will my mom feel like that about me when I’m Mrs. Devon or will I still just be her daughter she could order around? I thought as I walked to the door.
My mother was already waiting for me in the SUV when I looked to the front it was her driver taking us, great no wonder he wasn’t holding the door for me. I got in closed the door and my mother said to her driver, “Drive you know where we are going.” She was always so rude to the staff but it was like they didn’t care because they would always and I mean always take her side. My mother and I drove in silence to the wedding boutique, yes not just any old wedding shop we had to go to the most expensive one in all of Texas. When we got out Mrs. Devon open the door to the boutique to us grabbing me in her arms “Oh dear how are you feeling now?” That took me by surprise my mother didn’t even ask me how I was feeling this morning it was just orders and fighting the whole morning. “I’m much better Mrs. Devon thank you for asking.” “Good then you can have some champagne with me while we look at some dresses.” It was like she totally forgot my mother was there as well. It was only when my mother cleared her throat that Mrs. Devon said. “Oh Mrs. Wayne so sorry I’m just so excited.” “No problem.” My mom said but I could see on her face she wasn’t happy. Between the two families we were making more money which mean my mom should be the Alpha in this situation but Mrs. Devon just had this aura around her making everyone think she was the Alpha.
“Come I picked out a few for you to try on so long.” Mrs. Devon said. Fuck even in a situation like this I still need to call her Mrs. Devon I wondered if I was going to call her mom when I’m married or will it still be Mrs. Devon? I took a sip of my Champagne before I went to the changing room where a few dresses were waiting for me, I’m not going to lie she did have good taste, some of these dresses I would have picked out myself. I tried on my least favorite, let’s just say there where a lot of material and the sleeves OMG it was huge the best I can describe it was think 1980s, why she chose this one I really don’t know. But I put it on. I walked out with my head held high but my mother expression was one of pure horror, Mrs. Devon on the other hand was smiling. “Good Lord what is that?” My mom asked making Mrs. Devon laugh out of her belly.
