My Betrothed ?
(She’s feisty ?, he’s rude ?)
Episode 7
? Alexa ?
I felt so proud of myself right now. He actually felt remorseful about it which means he might give it a thought.
Isn’t that great?
” I told you it was going to work out, you have to thank me Alexa” Jane said and I scoffed
” I am not thanking you, period” I replied pla-yfully
” Alright then, don’t come to me for the next step then ” she shrugged and sat properly on the be-d .
Yeah! I visited them and Jenna is getting me a drink .
” Oh plea-se! Don’t use that on me”
” Thank me then ”
” You are evil Jane” I gro-an ed. Seriously it did work out.
” And you collected my go-wn in return so why should I thank you”
” You know that my sister is very selfish, don’t mind her Alexa. Here take ” Jenna said as she handed me a glas-s of jui-ce
” I am off girls ” Jane said standing up from the be-d..
” And where are you going to?” Jenna questioned
” Ask me again ” she blurted. Gosh! Why is she this stubborn?
” I should ask you again? What do I tell mum if she ask after you?”
Seriously I really wish to be like Jenna, calm and collected. Possessive and protective but I can’t be.
I can’t stay calm for a day, why? Is my l-ips ealed?
” Tell her I went to see a friend Jenna, Steph is alre-ady waiting for me ” she said wore her fl!pflops and dashed out of the be-d
” Steph again? What is he calling you for this time around?” I asked and she sh0t me a glare
” He says he wants to see me so what’s the problem with that?”
” He wouldn’t let you drink to stupor a…”
” Cut the cra-p Alexa, Steph is my b©yfri£ndand I love him. Are you the one d@t!nghim? You both shouldn’t preach for me plea-se ”
” See you girlfriend, bye twinnie” she took her handbag and left …
Jenna sighed as I smiled at her, that’s what you get when you have a tough sister…
” Why can’t she un-derstand us Alexa? I love my sister so much and that guy is not good for her, imagine he’s d@t!ngmy sister. No! My twin and he’s still asking me out to be his girlfriend. Who does that? ”
I know I don’t like Stephen too but asking your girlfriend’s twin out? What the hell?
” He did? ”
” He did Alexa, I almost gave him a sl@p that day and he’s still pestering me ”
” You didn’t tell Jane about this right?” I asked
” Of course not, I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her that. Hi Damien on 09030682135 to re-ad more of such stories from Novela and story room,fresh stories kingdom, house of stories room, unlimited story platform. I mean it’s creepy and that might affect our relationsh!ptoo, I don’t want her to get mad at me ”
” Yeah, that’s better. We can figure out other means of ex-posing him to her ”
” Is that possible? That guy might use and dump Jane soon, he’s using her ” she lamented
” We will find a way out okay? I know Jane can be stubborn”
” Okay, thank you Alexa ”
” It’s fine and well, I will be leaving now. Extend my regards to mum when she’s back ” I said standing up…
….
” Gomo ” Ava said jumped from her mother’s th!gh running to hvg me.
I opened my arms wi-dely bending down to her level.
” Baby how are you ?” I asked as I picked her up.
Hope you haven’t forgotten who Ava is? That’s Jeffrey’s daughter. My little 2years niece.
” I am fine Gomo ” she replied in her childlike voice.
” Hope mummy didn’t give you troubles?” I asked glancing at Annabelle while she glared at me.
” She wouldn’t let me take sweet, you will give me some sweets right?”
” Of course Ava I will , don’t mind mummy okay?” I said to her and she giggled
” Thank you Gomo ”
Well that means Aunty in Korea.
” You are spoiling this girl Alexa” Annabelle said as I took Ava with me upstairs
” Good afternoon to you too Anna” I grinned and walked away.
” I think I will report you to your brother, sweet is not good for kids ” she shouted
” But its just once in a while, it won’t do anything right?” I asked smilling
” Alexa ”
” I love you too ”
????
? Zach ?
” Tell me what the problem is with me and st©p fv¢king staring at me ” I yelled at the doctor who bec@m£ scared instantly.
I am curious about something and here he is keeping me in a great suspense .
” I am sorry sir ”
” From the result carried out on you, it was discovered that…”
” That what? Can’t you talk? Idiot, fool ” I cut in.
As it is right now,my b©dy is visibly shaking. I am scared like $h!t!
What did he discovered? Why is he hesitating before he speaks ? Is my system damaged? Oh God!
” You are having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease”
My heart sank as he gave me the result… I know the disease is deadly but….
” Explain in details, not everyone un-derstands the doctor languages ” I snapped fearfully
” It is a group of lung disease that blocks airflow theirby will make it difficult for you to breathe either soon or later but the symptoms are out ”
Meaning, I won’t be able to breathe? And then I will die? The fear that engulfed me was getting to it’s peak .
” What can be done about it? It has a cure right? ” I asked as he shook his head.
” Treatment can help but it can’t be cured sir, I am sorry. We haven’t found the cure to it ”
No! My world can’t just coll@pse like this in front of me.
I caused this! I did this to myself. How do I end up in this mess?
I tear rolled down my cheeks unable to say a word…
This is the end of me, why will I be living and won’t be able to breathe? I will surely die by it.
I face palmed myself crying my eyes out forgetting the position I hold in the society.
I ruined myself with my own hands. What could be more heartbreaking than that?
How do I face my family and tell them this? I am really done for.
” You can still live with it un-der treatment sir ”
A knock c@m£ on the door and I was f0rç£d to wipe my tears…
” Who’s there?” The doctor asked
” Nurse Evelina sir ”
” Come in ”
A nurse c@m£ in with some files…
” Good afternoon sir” she greeted but I was in no mood to answer
” Doctor, the result got mixed up at the lab. The two names were same and we couldn’t differentiate it till now. Zach Shane and Zach Shanna .. I am really sorry doctor, this result with me is for Zach Shane ” ….
Episode 8
? Alexa ?
I hurried out of the mall as I got some of my nee-ds. Jeffrey will skin me alive if I don’t show up in the office today.
Maybe it’s because it’s my dad’s company that I come late and go at any time even as Jeff warns me all the time.
Not that I pl@ywith my work but my priorities first before work after all I will leave that when I get married. (Note the sarcasm)
On my way towards my car, I bu-mped into someone. My goodness!
” I am really sorry ” I said as I helped him pick up his files that fell. We both did that simultaneously as our hands landed on each other.
My head snapped at him to see a handsome guy staring at me with a goofy smile on his face…
So charming and breathtaking.
He’s definitely a girl’s guy, I mean who wouldn’t want this guy as a b©yfri£ndto boast about?
” its nothing, I guess you were in a hurry ” he said and I nodded
” Yeah, and I’m sorry once again” I said ma-king my way to my car
” Excuse me ” he said and I st©pped.
” I am br@ndon and you?”
” Alexa ”
” That’s a beautiful name for a damsel like you ” ..
I really have to blus-h, it’s been a while I heard that from a guy .
” Thank you ”
” Can I ask for something plea-se” okay! Now what?
” Okay…” I trailed off not sure of what to say further
” Your contact , we can be friends you know ”
My mouth formed an ‘ O ‘
” Don’t refuse plea-se Alexa ”
I sighed as he handed me his phone .
I imprinted my number giving him back his phone.
” Thank you so much”
” It’s fine ”
” I guess I will see you some other time ?”
” Yeah sure ”
” Okay bye Alexa ”
” Yeah take care ” I replied and left for my car .
He wouldn’t leave till I started my car. Geez!
…..
” It’s high time I tell Dad not allow you work here again Alexa” Jeff said a little pissed.
” C’mon Jeff I’m sorry”
” That’s what you keep on saying every week , be dedicated plea-se”
” Okay I will change , happy?”
” You better change ”
Well,I am the General manager of this company .
” We have meeting with one of our clients by 3 so be prepared”
” Yeah bro ”
” We are in the office and you have to address me as Sir, I am the CEO remember ?” He grinned
” Whatever ”
????
? Zach ?
What the hell? The result was mixed up? Goodness
” We are really sorry sir, there’s nothing wrong with you. So…”
I angrily dragged the nurse and gave her a ha-rd sl@p.
She caused this! Did she know how scared and heartbroken I was? Thinking I had the so called whatever disease the doctor mentioned earlier.
” I…I am sorry sir,pl… plea-se forgive me” she pleaded holding her red cheeks
” Don’t you know how to do your job well? Are you blind to have not seen the names? There’s a hvge difference between Shanna and Shane you fool ”
I aggressively kicked her and she fell on the floor. I ought to be happy God saved me but I am mad at them .
” And you doctor” I gr@bb£d his collar and leash on him .
” What was my name that I mentioned to you? Hell! I’m sure you know me before now, you weren’t able to re-ad? ”
” I…it was a mistake sir plea-se forgive us” he begged
I am in a very good mood today, I mean I ought to be happy so I will spare them.
” You two shouldn’t cross my path ever if you don’t want to be dead ” I threw him back on his chair and left the office.
I think this is the end of it, I will never take anything pataining ciggrette again. …
I nee-d to change in that aspect for better.
…….
” Be re-ady Son, you are taking Alexa on a d@t£. And dare leave like you did the other day at their house again ” mum said glaring
Alexa again? Why can’t we just stay without seeing each other till the fv¢king engagement day and wedding fv¢k!
” But mum, I have somewhere to be by evening ” I gro-an ed, I alre-ady planned to to the club z gr-ab some cheeks to fv¢k tonight
” Cancel everything you plan, I alre-ady informed her and she should be re-ady by then. You will pick her up ”
” Can’t that wait?”
” No Zach, you are taking Alexa on a d@t£. Period!” She said and left… Gosh!
Why did I respect this woman so much?
I wish it was Dad,I could have bluntly turn him down but mum? Okay wait ! I just can’t. ..
Taking Alexa on a fv¢king stupid d@t£ right?
I think I have a perfect plan. I can’t stay today with a stupid urge to have S-x and a fv¢king erection bulging out of my shorts.
I think I know what to do. ..
? Alexa ?
Dressing up for a d@t£ I didn’t prepare for, I wore my shoe and dress without caring to apply any makeup.
I know I am not beautiful but I don’t nee-d to wear make over for Zach.
I am going to face him again for God knows how long.
He’s really annoying…
My phone beeped taking me from my trance..
ID unknown.
?? Hello ??
I said skeptically..
?? It’s a plea-sure hearing the voice of an Angel again ??
Wait who?
?? Evening …??
?? Evening Alexa, I guess you don’t know who you are speaking with ??
He said and I nodded thinking he was seeing me .
?? It’s br@ndon ??
Oh! I totally forgot I gave my number out to someone..
?? I am truly sorry ??
?? It’s fine, I mean you didn’t have my number and I don’t expect you to recognize my voice ??
?? Yeah ??
?? So you will save my number right???
?? Sure I will ??
?? Okay then, and uhhm can I see you tomorrow???
He asked . What for? That’s what I wanted asking but he’s a friend and it’s not bad to see him right?
?? Yeah what time? ??
?? 5pm. I will s£nd you the address ??
?? Okay ??
?? Thank you Alexa ??
?? My plea-sure ??
?? See you tomorrow then, I have to go and attend to some work ??
?? Okay ??
?? Bye ??
He said and hung up. He’s such a cool guy,. If Zach is like him it could have been better but he chose to be a as-s-hole all his life
……
” Are you expecting me to open the door for you?” He said and chuckled. Here we go again!
” I know you are not a gentleman so I wouldn’t expect such from you ” I said as I entered into the car.
I was just dressed casually, no ti-ght dress. I don’t want him to feed on my precious b©dy.
” Who knows! Ugly and desperate ladies like you wants that, ro-mantic !” He said .
I glared at him while he sm-irked
” I am not a desperate lady Zach! I agree I am not beautiful but not desperate. Don’t you call me that next time ” I snapped angrily
” St©p bickering Alexa, tsk tsk”
He just want me to get mad!
” I hate you Zach ” I glared and he chuckled
” I never loved you too dear fiancee ”
I remained quiet without responding. What’s the ess£nce anyways!
We drove in a comfortable silent to where we were going. I don’t know where, funny right?
????
” A club really? Zach?” I said trying not to loose my cool. I am not a fan of this place.
The alcohol, the music, everything is disturbing and disgusting.
” Chill Alexa, I am sure you will like it here ”
” Sit ” he ordered.
What do I have to do?
I sat down opposite him clutching ti-ght to my hand bag as the bartender took our orders ..
After what seems like forever, I bec@m£ bored. Seeing ladies practically doing all sort of things irritate me alot
” Care to join me on the dance floor?” He asked and I shook my head
” I will come back later, enjoy yourself ” he said dashing into the crowd .
Sighing loudly, I facepalmed myself.
30 minutes later…….
I can’t even see Zach at sight. I am feeling sleepy and tired.
I made my way to the restroom. I am pressed.
When I am back and Zach isn’t still back, I will just take a cab and leave.
…..
No! I am not mistaking right? The moment I opened the rest room door, I saw Zach ! I believe mean having S-x with a lady in the restroom… …
Goodness! This is so embarras-sing.
Our eyes met and his eyes wi-de-ned…
I gently closed back the door and left….
What do I expect? It’s his life right? I can’t change that…
