The Deal

Matthew slid his arm from beneath Edwina’s head, as his phone jumped around on the night stand. He grabbed it and quickly answered.

“Hi Pops. What’s up?” Matthew asked heading for the bathroom.

“How’d the engagement go?”

“She said yes, Pops. Life is good. Now we just have to finish school, so it looks like I’ll be keeping my house and fat bank account after all.”

“I’m glad to hear it, Son. There’s just one thing. I’m gonna be running for Governor next year, and we all need to be sure to tie up any loose ends. Cannon Keen is my opponent, and as it stands right now, and she is big on family and God and doing things in order. I can’t have her taking jabs at you and Edwina.”

“No, Pops. You can’t do this again. I love her!”

“Do what again?” Marcellus asked, “I called to tell you to move up the wedding.”

“Move up the wedding?”

“Yes, you heard me right. I need you two to be married by the end of the school year. I think a summer wedding will be nice.”

“What? Now, that’s not fair, Dad. I did everything you asked, and now you throw this on me. I can’t rush her like that.”

His father chuckled, “I knew it. You’d marry her tomorrow. You’re waiting to see how she plays this thing out aren’t you?”

Matthew began to giggle. “Daaaaaaaaad, you don’t know me.”

“Oh, yes I do. The apple never falls too far from the tree. Just be good to her. She’ll stick around. That’s a woman you’ll be able to build a sound future with. Treat her right, Matthew.”

“No worries there, Dad. I don’t like remembering what it was like before her, and I can’t see a future without her. I would marry her tomorrow.”

“Let’s do it then,” a small voice chimed in.

“What?” Matthew asked turning around.

“Let’s do it. I feel the same way about you that you do about me. What are we waiting for?”

“That sounds like a woman who knows what she wants. And Son, she has a trust fund bigger than your head. She’s a friend of Clarke Bellow.”

“Who is that?” Matthew asked.

“If you were here, I’d slap you. Clarke Bellow is Mafietta,” Marcellus responded, obviously annoyed.

“Oh shit!”

“Watch your language, boy,” said Marcellus smiling through his words.

“You two get up here this weekend and let’s get this engagement party planned. Tell Edwina to get ready. It’s gonna be a big deal. I’ll make sure of it,” Marcellus said before hanging up.

Then Edwina’s phone rang. She looked at Matthew.

“They have a system. I bet you a thousand dollars it’s Lena.”

Edwina ran to the bedroom for her phone. Matthew knew he was right when he heard Edwina laughing.

“I won’t take your money, but you can make me breakfast,” Matthew screamed as Edwina ran to rejoin him in the kitchen.

The bride-to-be kissed her man and headed to the cabinets.

Damn, he thought, she’s fine, she’s smart, she loves me, and she’s mine. I could get used to this. Maybe the deal wasn’t so bad at all.
