80 The era of matchmaking (1/2)

I thought we've passed the era of matchmaking. Gone are those days when parent arrange their kids for marriage. At least not in our country. Neto said to her

Well you can't blame them, when your kid isn't thinking about marriage, you have to take matters into your hands. Wait, don't tell me you are here to meet someone your family set up for you..no way!

Hahaha, why are you so surprised Sky, I'm human too and my mom doesn't like my idea of marriage at all, she actually threatened me, if I don't come out for the blind date, she'll move in with me and go everywhere with me.

Sky smiled, well I like her, maybe she can get you to marry. Marriage isn't as bad as you think.

Why is your mom interfering in your love affair if you are interested in marriage? He asked her.

Well she's trying to help me fasten the process, I haven't introduced anyone to her in a long time and she hasn't met Dwayne. Sky sent hermom a text asking her if she was in the right address.

Sky watched Neto type something on his phone and a thought crossed her mind, no it can't be him, she thought to herself, shaking her head. His mom won't do something like this, maybe they are doing this for business purpose. And he's mom works in a ministry not a chatty business woman who runs a shop in one of the busiest plaza in town. Phew...she let out a sigh.

We could have avoided all this you know? If you had listened to me in the first place. She said smiling to him.

Well it's not too late, let's get married so my mom will let me be. At least we can tolerate eachother. It doesn't have to be a real marriage, just something small to get our parents off our back.

Well, well, look who's talking about marriage. Sorry Mr Greyson, I'm not interested, plus it's too late and I can't marry for convenience. Marriage is more than that. She scanned the room for a guy sitting alone, she saw one at the far end. but before she could pick her bag, his date arrived.

How is it too late? We are here together Sky?

She rolled her eyes. Cause i'm with someonedummy, and I won't marry you so you can get your mom off your back.

Sky checked the message her mom sent to her on WhatsApp.

”He's been there since 4:00pm. You are in the right place, I'll send you his pix now”

Sky sighed as she waited for her mom to send the picture.

What's wrong Mrs Sky, you got stood up?Just move over to my sit or should I come over? it seems like our date won't show up.

Shut up Neto, he's here somewhere. Or maybe he got angry and left, now i'm regretting why I didn't collect his number.

Their phone made a beeping sound together, Neto was holding his phone, so he opened it and looked at the picture his mom sent him, surprised he looked at Mena, and back at the pix again. Wow he said, I wasn't expecting this. He stood up from his sit and sat opposite Sky.
