My plan today was to go visit the shop, but I guess my plans have changed. And not for the better. My mother had called me over for lunch at her place and knowing how she is, I'm pretty sure it's not just the two of us, but Ivy and most likely her family was going to be there as well.
In the beggining when the marriage between the two of us was bought up, I was against it. I really didn't want to be tied to her forever. Like I said, yes, we messed around, slept together here and there. But I don't want to be we her relationship wise. First of all she isn't the greatest person out there. If I were to describe her she is a horrible person and isn't loyal at all. That is why I hope she doesnt find out about Dakota. I wouldn't know what she'd do to him.
It's been around an hour since my mother called, and it's now nearing 12 pm so Im getting ready to head out.
When I arrive, Im dreading heading inside because Im gonna announce the break off of the engagement to my mother and in front of Ivy and her family. My parents knew I was against this marriage but still went on with it anyway. So ill say what I need to say and leave. I will most likely get a call from Mother later but I really want to end this.
I enter through the front of the house where the head maid greets me and directs me to where everyone is at. And lord behold I was right. Ivy and her parents are here too.
"Oh, Maverick you're just in time, Ivy and her parents have just arrived as well and we were just having a conversation on where to plan the wedding. We already discussed the date and it is set for March next year." She announced and hugged me.
" Yes, Mav we have the date set aren't you excited." Ivy said smiling. Except this smile isn't one of being a happy soon to be bride but one of someone crazy.
I sat down and everyone is chatting away about the marriage. Ivy dropping some details here and there. Of course I'm not participating in it because I have no reason to since I'll break of the marriage today. Now I just have find the righ time to bring it up and soon, I want to do it before this ends.
Our food gets here everyone is eating and still talking, and me just ignoring the details and trying to see when to bring up the break up.
"Maverick, son, you haven't said a word since you've gotten here. You should be well into this conversation too since we're talking about you and Ivy's wedding." And now I think this is the righ time to bring it up.
I look over at Ivy, then her parents and lastly my mother.
" I'm not going through with this marriage." As soon as I say this Ivy looked at me furious and my mother chokes on her words trying to say something. Everyone is stunned.
I get up and head inside the house to grab my keys and leave, when I feel someone grab my arm. It was Ivy.
"What the hell are you doing!" She hissed. " Why wont you just go along with this marriage."
" I told you that I don't have any feelings for you, I dont want to be tied down to you. And you're not the person I like."This got her even more furious. She stays silent for a moment still grabbing onto me. I can see her wheels moving in her head thinking of what to do.
" You know I'll get what I want. And trust me Mav I'll get. So right now I'm gonna go out there, going to give them an explanation and we are going to get married wheather you llike of not." She finally said.
She let's go of my arm and storms out before I can even say anything. I can already here her explaining what just happened but I don't care, and leave.
...
After dropping the bomb and leaving I found myself at the shop. Ive been sitting in my car for the last 15 minutes deciding if I should go in or not. From where I am, I can see Dakota working the register.
He really is breathtakingly beautiful. His pretty hazel eyes, his freckels too sprikled perfectly on on his cheeks crossing the bridge of his nose. Bouncy soft light brown curls. His light brown skin, which Im pretty sure is nice and soft. God that sounded like a pervy say. He's just perfect. He is way shorter than me and I love that.
Yeah I don't think I can go in there today. Im kinda tired anyway, ill save my energy for tomorrow and maybe I'll try to get his number, get somewhere with this person.
As I'm leaving, I get a call from my mother. As expected.
"Maverick Isaiah Blackwell. What has gotten into you, Ivy explained to us that nothing is wrong between the two of you. So why would you go an say that. I want you back here tomorrow night. You got it." She hangs up.
He doesn't know when his legs will go numb and fall out beneath him, and now he is going to have get a service dog, at least it wasn't a wheelchair, and can continue with his business, running a Bookstore Cafe, cute huh? But what isn't, is having a guy stare at you while working. Like why, who is he? He is hot though.
