My girlfriend's my best friend's father

CHAPTER 14: The Night of the Waiting

Exactly one week after Anita came to my college and made an impromptu dinner to celebrate my birthday. And tonight is the time, right on my 22nd birthday.

Mom and I have prepared a pretty dress for us to wear at dinner tonight. Mom and I will wear a pink dress. Mother's dress was long-sleeved and dangled up to her ankles with pearl buttons on the front of the chest. While my dress with a sabrina collar that accentuates my beautiful shoulders, layered with a patterned tile fabric to dangle over my knees.

"It fits my ring very well." I told myself in front of the mirror.

The ring that Beby had given me all this time I kept in the closet, I was worried that mom would ask me. But tonight I dare to wear it, because Rendy promised me that she would help me answer if I asked her about the ring.

"Lia, let's go, Rendy's son is already picked up." Call mom from the living room.

"Yes ma'am, I'll be right ahead."

I rushed out to meet Mom and Rendy. We got in the car, mom was sitting in the back seat, while I was of course sitting next to Rendy who was smiling constantly looking at me.

"Crazy are you smiling to yourself?" I said to him with a tone of judes.

"Let's go, I look at you, so pretty tonight. Yes, no ma'am?" Rendy.

She nodded with a nod and a smile. It seems that the mother is very happy that her son can be close to his boss. I grabbed Rendy's ear until she screamed a little.

"Lia, by the way your ring I just saw." Mom suddenly said from the back bench

The deg! I was so anxious and just kept staring at Rendy, waiting for her to keep her promise to help me answer my questions.

"It's a ring from Rendy, ma'am. Rendy gave it to Lia during Lia's 'shoot. While kneeling Rendy told Lia, will you be my girlfriend, Lia? If you want to wear this ring. Keep Lia straight grab the ring, ma'am. Our relationship..." Obviously Rendy with a ignorant style and full of confidence. Inexhaustible with the answer, but I don't care as long as mom doesn't know that this ring is actually from Beby.

The car rolled into the restaurant where Anita was about to have dinner with us. Arriving at the place we were headed, the car park was quite full, several times we circled the parking lot until Rendy decided to drop me and mother first.

"Same mother Lia went down first huh, I'm looking for parking first. It's normal that weekends are crowded here. I'll follow ya." Looks like Rendy's been to this place a lot before.

My mother and I got out of the car and were greeted by a restaurant employee.

"Good night, Mother, I'm sorry have you made a reservation?" Ask the restaurant staff.

"Here, in the name of Anita." Answer her.

"Sister Anita reservation on the second floor, let me deliver." The restaurant staff directed us to a table that Anita had ordered on the second floor.

I was looking for Anita and our friends who were said to be invited to tonight's event, but none of us saw a table that was a little crowded.

Yep! His father aka 'Beby' was present and was already sitting at the table where we were going to have dinner together. Anita obviously planned everything, she didn't invite our friends as she said.

"Lia, come on, why dumbass?" Mom asked me to hurry up to Anita's desk.

I'm so nervous, I can't imagine how awkward the situation will be, because Rendy and 'Beby' are at the same table, not to mention Anita must have prepared 'something' to knock me mentally.

I saw 'Beby' looking at me in a gasp, his eyes not blinking one bit, I hid my nervousness and anxiety by keeping my head down. We hadn't seen each other in a few days, and he didn't even call me when I had difficulty contacting him.

"Hi mother, thank you for coming." Anita welcomes her mother and hugs her.

"Thank you for inviting us to dinner, baby." Mother said to Anita after taking off their embrace.

Anita then hugged me and said happy birthday to me, while mom was chatting with Beby. Then this is the time I faced Beby and had to greet in front of many people.

"Good year, Lia. You look so pretty tonight." Beby shook my hand while looking at me for quite a while. I replied with a shy smile.

You're also handsome once tonight with your new suit and haircut. I said from the heart

"Okay, let's all sit down please..." Said Anita made me and Beby to immediately separate and sit on the bench that has been provided.

I sat down next to Anita and faced Beby, while mother sat next to Beby and faced Anita. There was one empty bench on my left, and I knew it must be a bench prepared for Rendy.

Anita did deliberately set all this up. I murmured in my heart.

The waiter came to our table and offered us to order a meal. Anita and mother were busy looking at the food menu while I was misbehaving because Beby kept looking at me.

"Oh yeah Lia, Rendy's coming right? Want to go to the food first or wait for him to come?" Anita asked suddenly until I saw Beby a little confused. I was also surprised by Anita's question, and I think it's time she will launch the action to bring me down.

"Rendy?" Asked 'Beby' while looking at me and Anita.

"Yes, Rendy's Lia's boyfriend, yeah." Anita deliberately answered in a loud and stressed voice.

"Rendy's coming, that's it." Mom pointed to Rendy.

Rendy approached our table confidently and with a smile. We all turned to Rendy, and not only us, almost everyone in this place also turned to her. Honestly, he currently looked very handsome and dashing in his suit, no less handsome than my Beby.

But, soon it will be awkward and Anita must have been looking forward to this moment, the moment of meeting me, her mother, father, and Rendy.
