Hello everyone! This is an attempt to get back into the writing game after being out of it for about four years. I plan on making this a multi-chapter, however I thought I would start with this and take any comments or suggestions anyone has. Please, constructive criticism only! Thanks a bunch! Enjoy!

"Caroline, I really wish you would reconsider" Josh said not trying to sound like he was pleading to his fiancée as she was walking out the bedroom they shared at his house. She had just informed him that she could not attend dinner with his mother, the first official dinner they would have with her since their engagement was announced. He would normally be okay with it, were his mother not to arrive in a mere 45 minutes and Caroline ditching out on the meal at the last minute.

"I'm sorry JuJu, I really wish I could have dinner with your mother, you know how I adore her, but this is the most important private restaurant opening of the season! Everyone who is anyone is going to be there, people will expect me to show and I can't disappoint!" she stated with a little flare at the end of her sentence. She concluded her plea as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Listen, JuJu, I know you understand, so don't worry." She started seductively" I will make it up to you when I get home." She kissed him softly on the lips, then she perked up "Or tomorrow if I get home too late! Tah!" She exclaimed with the door slamming behind her.

Gabi and Yolanda were trying not to look like they were listening while keeping themselves busy. But, when Josh let out an aggravated sigh and flopped on the couch, they couldn't resist.

"What am I going to tell my mother?" Josh questioned, His face flat against the throw pillows. "She has been looking forward to this dinner for weeks!"

"Well…"Gabi started as she shuffled over to the couch. "Tell her that you wanted to have a dinner just the two of you…you know, some mother/son time…before everything gets crazy with wedding preparations."

Yolanda came behind the couch and lifted her boss back to an upright position. "Listen boss, your mama will be here in 40 minutes, go upstairs and make yourself presentable, I will do the last minute tidying down here and Gabi will be cooking a kick-ass meal in the kitchen that will be so amazing, your mom won't even notice Caroline is not here. Don't worry, we're here for you. Now go" She concluded picking him up off the couch.

"But…" He started

"I said go!" Yolanda repeated pointing in the direction of the stairs.

As Josh ran up the stairs Yolanda turned to look at Gabi before she spoke "Seriously girl, you better make something amazing because his mom is like a hungry shark in the water looking for blood."

As Yolanda walked into the back room to grab her vacuum cleaner Gabi, who was left alone in the living gulped. "Don't worry." She said in a small, unsure voice to herself . "I got this." She squeaked to before she ran back into the kitchen to conclude the meal for Josh and his mother.
