Faking it in style

I sat across from my parents, they had been bugging me to come over this whole week and I finally got sick of them pestering me, and come to see what they want, oh and my parents, I mean my mom, dad just follow behind her like a lost puppy.

"Okay, I'm here now, so say what you gotta say I have a meeting in the next 45 minutes," I look at my watch.

"How rude," mom said, "you haven't seen me and you're for days and you talk like that to us, I should punish you right now."

I sigh and stood up "if you don't have anything to say then I'll be living."

"Eric, I see you're losing respect for us day by day," Dad said.

I sigh, "mom if you have anything to say please say it."

She avoids eye contact before she clear her throat and said " you know Anita," I nodded of course I know your best friend. "Well, her son you know Andrew, is going to give her another grandson."

Ugh, I know it. The reason she calls me here is to pester me into getting married and having children.

"Mom," I groaned.

"Eric, I'm not getting younger, I want grandkids, do you know have I feel when my friends brag about their grandkids," she said acting pitiful.

I'm not into getting married right now.

"Sometimes, they even ask me if you're gay since you don't show any interest in women," she looks at me "and I even start to believe your gay."

I roll my eyes, "mom, as I said before, I'm not under the pressure to get married."

That's when she snapped, "you damn brat, you are going to give me my grandbabies, the first woman that I'll bring in this house tomorrow will be your bride and your wedding will be at the end of this month."

 "What!?"

"You heard her, Eric, and if you don't do it, I will take the company and everything you own out of your hand."

"What!? You can't do that," I started.

Dad narrows his eyes "yes I can and I will if you don't cooperate with your mother."

I stare at them, those two are just like, I know the girl mom will bring is another gold digger like the last one.

"I can't."

"And why can't you?"

"Because if I do, the loyalty I give to my girlfriend would be over."

They both stare at me in shock, at the lie that came out of my mouth.

"Did you just say, girlfriend?" Mom asks.

I nod.

"You have a girlfriend?"

Again I nodded.

"Hold up, you're saying that my son Eric Isaac James the man that shows no interest in women, actually has a girlfriend?" Mom asks skeptically.

"Yes," I answer.

"You know this is hard to believe," dad said to mom, who agree with him by nodding her head.

"For us to believe you, bring her over for dinner tonight."

"She's not in the city, she's out on a girl's trip," I lied.

"Well show us pictures."

"I left my phone in the office."

"Fine, when you so call girlfriend come back bring her here ASAP."

I nod.

I have to find a girl to act as my girlfriend as soon as possible.
