As l drove to my parents house, my heart was hammering out of its cage. I don't know what to expect because l know my mother and how easy it is for her to go over the top. She is a social butterfly and it is easy for her to get caught up in the excitement that she forgets my feelings on the whole matter
Added onto that is the fact that my brother took it upon himself to get me a date and that in itself made me feel a little pathetic. It was like a slap to my face. Did he think l was incapable of finding a man on my own or did he think l was unattractive that he had to find me a partner?
If l thought of such depressing thoughts, it would be impossible for me to enjoy my birthday party. A party that l had no desire to attend but l had to make mama happy
