Chapter 6
I got to the house. I did not want to see anyone. I wanted to be left alone
I went into my room to cool off. I was so upset. All of these make no sense, I just got married to the city's sweetheart. I was supposed to be happy but I wasn't. Nick was cold to me. I didn't expect anything less and also that lady, at least not on his wedding day should he be caught in the arms of another woman. I felt like throwing up.
Just when I was about to get some rest, because my mind was not in one piece, I heard a knock on the door. I just wanted to be left alone, is that even difficult? My goodness.
" I do not want to see anyone," I said to whoever it was at the door. I didn't care who it was.
The knock came again. I angrily stood up and went to the door, I opened it and saw Nick standing by the door.
" How long did you intend to keep me at the door?" He asked coldly. I looked at him, he wasn't even ashamed, I seemed to be the only one troubling myself.
" You can come in" I opened the door wide for him to come in. He walked into my room.
" You would be here though, you would stay here in this room" I knew I was going to be staying here, why would he remind me of it? It didn't feel like a regular marriage anyway.
I went to bed. He stood there looking at me. I wondered why he wouldn't let me be.
" I have something to tell you," he said to me, he came to the bed, where I was and sat by the edge.
I nodded my head at him to go on.
" About what happened in the restroom, I owe you no explanations for that, whatever you see, you keep your mouth shut, I owe you no explanations for that," he said to me keeping a straight face, meaning all seriousness.
I swallowed it. This was going to be a long ride for me. I didn't plan all of these.
This is how my life would turn out.
" We have to make this work, but whatever I do with anyone is none of your business, the lady you saw is part of my life, and she stays, trust me, she would not trouble you," he said to me and left my room, leaving me in a confused state. I was devastated. I couldn't think straight.
I was left alone, decisions were taken without my consent. I was left alone.
I had gotten married but this is what marriage looked like? I was not happy with everything going on with me.
I sat in bed, looking at the window, such a beautiful place for a sad and broken heart.
Another knock came to my door, and I was upset. Why would Nick not let me be? He has given me his instructions. What does he want from me again?
I went to the door and opened it. It was a maid.
" Your food is served downstairs ma'am," she said with her head bowed. I dismissed her.
I changed my dress and went downstairs to eat.
I ate in silence, Nick was also at the table.
" How is the food?" he asked me, which left me wondering what his business with my taste buds was.
" It's nice" was all I could say. I continued to eat.
After that, I went back to my room. I didn't even have a routine. I was just in a big house, with maids that I couldn't talk with.
I stood up and went outside. The house was a big one.
I haven't been all around it, so I took my time, going around the place.
I went to the poolside. It looked so refreshing. Maybe I would make my place here.
I loved the cool breeze that followed. I went to the armchair by the poolside and sat there.
I didn't want to think about anything or anybody. I just wanted to remain there and get all the refreshments I wanted.
I went back to the house after that.
Nick stood by the door side. I wanted to go inside when he blocked me.
" Where are you coming from?" he asked me.
" I was at the poolside, any problems?"I asked him, wondering if I had done anything wrong.
" Don't you ever sound rude when talking to me, do you understand?" he said calmly. I didn't even sound anything close to being rude. This man was just a pain in my ass.
" I never sounded rude to you," I said before he let me into the house.
He was behind me as I walked to my room.
" This way, to my room" I heard him say to me. I didn't have any energy to argue, so I went to his room.
It was a big one, the biggest in the house.
I was marveled, the last time I was here, I didn't pay attention to it because I was upset.
I stood by the bedside waiting for the next thing he had to say.
" Sit," he said to me, I sat down and he also sat down.
" We are married now, and we have to make this marriage work by behaving like married people."
He came to me and leaned into me. He brought his face to mine, coming so close till his lips touched mine. He pulled me in and we kissed. I loved it at first but suddenly remembered the lady he kissed.
I pulled away from him. He looked at me strangely. I didn't want to get him upset, so I drew him close, locking my lips in his.
