Chapter 7 Living Together
- Bryan's Pov:
- Everyone turned to me as I felt very ashamed.
- Arianna secretly made faces at me and I felt like slapping her face hard.
- "I mean the gown is exceptionally beautiful" I quickly covered up.
- I can't let that crazy girl notice that I find her beautiful.
- "Yeah... It looks so perfect on her" Grandma said immediately.
- I heaved a sigh of relief....
- Thank goodness!!!
- I don't want that piece of garbage to start feeling so important.
- I watched her swerve her hips in the very beautiful wedding gown.
- Truth be told,,,, Arianna is actually very much pretty....
- But that doesn't matter to me anyways.
- The shopping continued as usual.
- I rolled my eyes as she eyed me dangerously.
- "I hate her guts...." I muttered under my breath.
- My cell phone rang aloud....
- One of my whore's is calling.
- I really miss banging hard on them like I used to.
- I quickly rejected the call.... I can't let grandma notice that am still womanizing else she might find more tasks for me before I can get the family inheritance.
- Arianna's Pov:
- Tears welled down my siblings and my mother's eyes including mine as I dragged my luggage with me.
- "We are really going to miss you Arianna" Mother cried.
- "I'll miss you too mother... I just need to finish up with the audition.... It's just gonna take 21 days" I lied
- "Sister Arianna please do come home after the 21 days OK?" Bibi wailed
- I pecked his chubby cheeks.
- "Of course Bibi" I said as I touched his check.
- "Pinky promise?" Laila said showing me her pinky finger.
- "Pinky promise...." I replied showing her my pinky finger too.
- We group hugged as I waved goodbye to them.
- I flagged down a cab and hopped in.
- I watched them wave at me as the car zoomed off.
- Tears welled down my chubby cheeks.
- I know this is not going to be easy but I really need to do this for the family.
- We need the money so badly....
- I scratched my head as thoughts kept running through my mind.
- The question is... How am I going to cope with Mr grumpy as his bride for 21 days?
- I exhaled deeply as I gulped.
- Let the story begin
- ********
- The door was thrown open as I walked into the church full of guests.
- With a flower in my hand and a veil covering my face....
- I walked down the aisle slowly as the audience applauded me.
- Tears pricked my eyes and rolled down gradually from my cheeks.
- I can't believe this is all just a pretence....
- Am wedding for the very first time in my life and it's FAKE.
- I sighted Bryan in front with the priest smiling pretentiously.
- "Look how real he's making it look... Curse you Bryan" I muttered within myself.
- I stood right in front of Bryan and the priest as we stared into each others eyes.
- "Bryan Adams do you take Arianna Bernardo as your lawfully wedded wife to love and to hold till death do you part?" The priest asked
- "I do..." Bryan said smirking at me.
- He's making it look so real.... I really hate this guy!
- "Arianna Bernardo do you take Bryan Adams as your lawfully wedded husband to love and to hold till death do you part??" The priest asked as I eyed him angrily.
- I kept mute for some time before speaking.
- "I do...." I said unwillingly as the guest applauded us.
- "You may kiss the bride" The priest said as Bryan removed my veil.
- "This is gonna be my first kiss so I just hope you don't make it horrible" I said with a scoff.
- He furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.
- "You should be happy that a cutie like me will be kissing those dried lips of yours" I replied.
- "Dried but sexy unlike some people's" I said as he quickly glued his lips to mine.
- ***
- The guests clapped as I quickly disengaged the kiss.
- "You're such a pervert" I said pushing him away a little.
- He only scoffed.
- Bryan's Pov:
- Arianna and I were still dressed in our wedding attire as we drove in the car with grandma.
- "Where the heck are you taking us grandma?" I half yelled
- Grandma smiled broadly.
- "I have a wedding present for you both..." She said as I tut.
- "I can't wait to see what it is you have for us" Arianna said.
- I sighed at her as she rolled her eyes at me
- "She's so annoying!" I groaned within me.
- I stared at the wedding ring on my finger.
- "You will only last for 21 days and nothing more,,,, then I will have to flush your down the toilet" I thought inwardly as I smirked.
- Soon enough,,, the car pulled over in front of a fenced beautiful duplex.
- "Everybody go down" Grandma said excitedly as she got down from the car.
- "What are we doing here grandma?" Arianna and I chorused.
- "Taa...daaa..... You're new home" She said dangling a bunch of keys in front of us.
- We gasped in shock.
- ********
- We walked into the already furnished duplex as we were so impressed.
- "Can we go now grandma?" I asked yawning.
- "No need for that,,,, you can now live here" Grandma said as Arianna choked immediately.
- "Like right now? We're going to be living alone?" She asked sharply glaring hard at me.
- "Yes..." Grandma said as I gulped hard.
- "Oh God! How do I cope with this crazy girl all alone?" I worried
- "What about our stuffs grandma? They are not here and.. " I tried saying but grandma stopped me with a grin.
- "You don't have to worry about anything,,, the maids already moved your stuffs here" She said as I breathed heavily.
- ****
- It was already very dark and late.
- I walked into the bedroom and turned on the light.
- To my greatest surprise,,,,,, I saw Arianna already sleeping happily on the bed with a duvet covered on her body.
- I became very annoyed....
- "Hey,,,,, silly! I called as I shook her vigorously and she opened her eyes.
- "What is it?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
- "Get the fvck outta my bed,,,, you can sleep at the sitting room but this is my room" I yelled.
- She burst into laughter as I arched my eyebrows.
- "What's funny?" I asked as she pushed me away roughly and laid on her warm bed.
- "You go sleep at the sitting room.... This bed here is all mine" She said covering the duvet on her face as I gasped.......
- TBC....
