She entered her apartment and placed her bag on top of the kitchen counter. Then she sat on her sofa with her left leg tucked under her and dialed Mark's number. One ring, two rings, three rings, 4 rings. He's probably not even home Becky thought regretting the idea. "Hello" he finally answered the phone.

"Mark,it's Becky"
"Oh, hi sorry it took forever to answer the phone. I just got home"
" It's ok. Mark i need to ask you a favor that's gonna sound stupid, but just hear me out" she said getting to the point.
"Ok... shoot"
"My parents are having this party for their wedding anniversary on Saturday and my mother is a real pain in my ass about everything. I told her that i had a boyfriend and now she wants to meet him, the problem is that i don't have one"
"And you want me to be your boyfriend?"
"Well not my boyfriend...per se, but my fake boyfriend for the weekend"
"Why the weekend? I thought it was just for Saturday"
"Oh...yeah, i forgot and she invited my boyfriend and I to spend the weekend at their beach house, so will you help me?"
"Sure, but what's in it for me?"
"I knew you were gonna ask that"
"I don't know what do you want?"
He laughed,"For you to be my love slave for a week. No, I'm just joking. I'll do it voluntarily "
"You will? thanks But i still owe you "
"What time do we leave?"
"I'd say early Saturday morning, like at 6 almost 7 because it's a long ride to the Hamptons and the traffic"
" OK.What are you're parents like?... just for an idea"
"My dad's a great guy, and easy to get along with but my mom is like satans wife"
"She can't be that bad"
"Trust me she is. She has always put me down and criticizes everything about me"
"I'll see for myself"
"Whatever you do don't talk so much about the 'relationship' "
"Don't worry, i got everything covered"
"Thank you so much, you're a lifesaver"
"What flavour?" he asked.
"Shut up" Becky laughed when she caught the joke.
"I'll see you on Friday" he said.
"K bye"

As the week went by Becky waited anxiously for the big day to come so that she could get over it quickly. Friday night had finally arrived and Mark had called to confirm the time he was going to pick her up. They met at exactly 6:00 and had breakfast at a diner they stopped by in Queens and continued on the road. They ran into some traffic but not as much as there usually would've been. They arrived at her parents beach house by 8:30 and were one of the first few guests to arrive.
