Chapter 31

“Is this necessary?” I grumbled to my mother.

In return I earned a light thwack on the back of my head. “You are going before her family!” My mother barked at me. “After all you’ve done you will want to look good,” She muttered but there was no doubt she wanted me to hear it. She began snipping at the elft over hairs she wanted in place and trimmed.

“If I had known someone may or may not be coming for her I would have bound with her before we ever left Georgia,” I tried to defend my actions, but this was my mother.

“Oh!” she began chuckling to herself. “And I’m sure you would have been so affectionate then too,”

“Mom,” I sighed, rubbing my eyes.

“Stop that,” She ordered, “I’m cutting your hair darling don’t move like that,” she laughed at me.

“Annette thinks her family will kill me,” I told my mom. I knew she wasn’t happy with what I had done but she still would support me through this.

Again my mother gave her deep chuckle. “Well I think she will be more than satisfied with how you perform,” She stepped in front of me inspecting my hair. “You are going to be just finel know it,” She state matter of factly.

“When do they arrive?” I asked her, thinking of them made me feel like a child before his principles office.

“They’ll be here by dinner, they actually will fly,”

“Why fly when I can drive?” I raised an eyebrow at her. She knew I didn’t see the point in wasting thousands of

dollars.

“It’s quicker, comfier, and you might not be in so much trouble if you had flown with her instead,” she teased me

again.

“Thank you so much mother and I was worried you were going to hold it against me,” I sarcastically reminded her she

was my mom.

You worry

all you want you made the choice but I think I’ve annoyed you enough for today,” She grabbed a mirror and placed it in front of me. “Do you like it?”

I looked more groomed then I preferred but I was going to be bound in four days. “It looks good, thank you mama,” 1 stood and k*ssed her cheek she had turned to me.

“Go wash up,” she patted my back “And trim your beard!” She called after me.

“Okay!”

I went into my shower that wasn’t really my shower. I will admit not being a gentleman enough to give Annette the master was a dick move. I just built that room for me and my wife. Her being in there made it all so real.
