#6 from the First Sentence Writing Prompts: âExplain it to me again - why do we need to pretend to be married?â
âExplain it to me again - why do we need to pretend to be married?â
Maya sighed.âBecause this is the first time youâre meeting my grandmother and I wanther to have a good impression of you.â
âRight, I gotthat part but whatâs wrong with saying that weâre engaged?â
She opened her mouthto reply, then paused, biting her lip nervously. âThe thing is that sheâsa little more ⌠traditional in her views, and when we last met, I may have let it slip that Iâm pregnant.â
Comprehension dawnedon his face. âAnd you donât want her to know that the pregnancy happened before you were married.â
âYou shouldâveseen me back there,â She groaned. âIt was the soap opera trifecta ofâuh oh someoneâs pregnant!â She was already looking suspicious when I keptleaving the room to throw up and then on top of that, I hadnât had any coffee oreaten any papaya when she offered and ⌠I donât know, it slipped out andthen she just assumed we were married.â
Damien winced.âOuch. Yeah, thatâll do it.â
âIâm so sorry D, Iknow I shouldâve set the record straight. Itâs just been hard for her to accept me,given my own family history.â Mayaâs eyes were downcast as she spoke.âSheâs only started warming up to me after the whole Eros thing and Ididnât want her to have a reason to judge me and especially you and I know I shouldâve runit by you first-â
âHey ⌠hey,no worries,â Damien wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind,kneading them gently to reassure her. âI get it. And Iâm more than happyto play the part. Besides âŚâ His hand moved to her left hand and intertwinedhis fingers with hers, where her sparkling engagement ring shone under themorning sun. âWeâre already halfway there anyway.â
âWell arenâtyou sweet!â She giggled as he kissed her sweetly.
âSooo, anythingI should know to keep the story straight? Big or small wedding? A train ofbridesmaids?â
âWeeellll, thestory I told her was that we had a private ceremony with Nadia present while wewere on the run from Eros, in order to stay hidden and keep our families safe.And that the wedding weâre planning now is the real one ⌠the one we wanteveryone, friends and family alike, to be a part of.â Maya smiled at himendearingly as she finished that last sentence.
âDamnMaya,â He grinned broadly. âSounds like an epic love story.â
âIt doesdoesnât it? She was actually kind of impressed.â
âI canimagine.â Damien was chuckling as he stepped back to smooth his dressshirt. âIn fact, according to Nadia, sheâs on the phone with my mother aswe speak.â
âWait,really?! With your mom?â
âYeah, Nadiafilled her in on the act. And so for the last hour, Mamaâs been going on and onwith your grandmother about how lucky she is to have such an âamazing,wonderful womanâ as her daughter-in-law.â
âWow . ..â There was a slight glimmer in Mayaâs eyes as she took this in. âOhmy god! I have the best mother-in-law ever!â Damien quirked an eyebrow and she shrugged nonchalantly. âWhat? Might as well get into characternow.â
He shook his head ather, chuckling. âAll right then. Ready to get this show on the road?â
She noddedenthusiastically and hugged him tightly, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.âReady if you are.â
