Mr Popular?
(Rude and grumpy)
Episode 20
By: Faith Lucky.
Bethel’s Pov:
Gosh! I Can’t believe this. What does this guy think he’s doing?
Its a good thing I was already tieing my towel before he looked at me.
But who knows if he had already been peeping at me long before I saw him?
Oh, God!
“I’m talking to you” I said as I stood behind him.
I really needed an explanation for it. How could he think of doing such a thing?
“Well, maybe you should’ve been wise enough to close to the door properly” he said unruffledly as he brought out jacket from the wardrobe.
I scoffed.
“Oh, really?” I asked as I crossed my hands below my chest.
“Well, I think I must have forgotten the fact that I’m living with a Mr s3x freak at home”.
“Hold on; are seriously ranting about this?” He asked and turned to look at me.
“Aren’t you supposed to be my wife? Don’t you have any idea what married couples do?”
My heart gave a mighty leap immediately as his white eyes stared into mine.
His words struck at me.
He drew closer in such a way I was scared he was going to hold me.
He narrowed his eyes from my face down to my chest, giving it a cranky stare.
What is he…
“Don’t you think I have access to your body now?” He asked almost in a whisper and my eyes dimmed.
I felt my throat becoming sore as I became speechless.
I tried to speak but couldn’t find the right words.
Then he smirked and turned away.
He took the jacket he had gotten from the wardrobe and left the room.
As soon as he left, I placed my hand on my chest and took in a deep breath.
What the hell just happened?
Oh, mum! What have you gotten me into?
Ryan’s words replayed in my head:
*Don’t you have any idea what married couples do?*
That was when it really dawned on me.
We were married and he had every right to…
God! I can’t even think of it. I’m not ready for something like that. I…I Can’t even imagine it with…someone like Ryan.
Oh, God! Im just not ready for it. But what if he asks me for it soon?
No; he wouldn’t even dare. I’ll just pluck out his eyes.
I brushed my fingers into my hair and took in a deep breath, trying to get over it.
Then, I went over to my wardrobe to get my school uniforms.
Completely ready for school, I took my bag and left the room.
But hold on; I hadn’t eaten. I mean, no one served breakfast to me.
I shrugged and proceeded out of the room.
Geez! This is really a mansion indeed.
It was so big and Beautiful.
I climbed down the long stairs which were meant to take me to the sitting room and as I did, so many thoughts kept clouding my mind.
I got to the end of the stairs, but as a result of my much thinking, I bumped into someone who was trying to walk pass me.
“Hey, watch it” she grumbled.
“Oh, my! I’m sorry” I said immediately and looked into her face.
She was one of the step sisters and she was chewing a gum.
I think her name is Judy – the one who behaves rouged.
“You Can keep your apology” she said with an eye roll and walked away, making a bubble with her gum.
I stared at her, stunned.
What the hell was that?
I shook my head and continued walking, Actually following her behind.
Then I got to the dining.
Woah.
“Bethel!” Ryan’s mum called immediately she saw me.
They were all seated there – like the entire family.
Oh, Geez!
They were so many of them. Were they this much?
The Judy girl in front of me had already taken a seat next to the jerk – Royce.
Let me guess – she’s his sister.
Argh! Obviously.
Why didn’t I think about it? No wonder she behaves the way she does.
Like brother like sister.
“Come on, Bethel. Let’s have breakfast together. I was about sending a maid to call for you” Ryan’s mom said and I gave a light smile and walked further to the dining.
“Good morning ma’am” I greeted as I scoured my eyes around for a place to sit.
The Closest Vacant seat I saw was next to Royce’s *fiancee* and I took it.
“Hi” she smiled at me immediately.
“Hi. Good morning.” I replied with a smile and she looked back at her food.
Gosh! They were so many of them.
I finally saw the two extra wives.
Was I supposed to great them or something?
They were looking…angry.
Ryan’s mom was sitting next to Mr Winthrop. And Ryan…he was sitting opposite me on the other side of the table.
I shut him a stare and took my eyes Away.
“So Bethel, how was your night?” Lana – Royce’s fiancee – asked.
She seemed really friendly.
“It was fine. Thanks” I replied and awaited the maids as they served my meal.
“By the way, Tanya” Ryan’s mum said.
“I received some complaints about you skipping classes in school. How true is that?” She asked, referring to one of the step sisters sitting on the other side of the table.
I stared at her as she fumed and looked down at her food.
“Hold on;” the first wife said with a scoff.
“If my daughter’s skipping classes, I think it should be my problem”.
“Woah! Chill, Charlotte. I’m not committing a grave sin, okay? I’m just trying to be a caring mother” Ryan’s mum said.
Okay; what’s going on?
“Point of correction, Becky; she isn’t your daughter” replied the first effort.
“Hmph. Don’t worry, Charlotte. I don’t have time to drag your daughter with you. I already have a son” Ryan’s mum said with a smirk and shock crept into the first wife’s face.
Oh goodness.
What’s this?
“That’s enough” Mr Winthrop chimed in.
“Its never gonna be enough” the lady sitting next to the first wife said loathfully, looking down at her food.
“I said that’s enough, Bonnie!” Mr Winthrop said again and the whole place went silent.
Okay; let me guess;
Tanya and Bonnie are daughters of the first wife while Royce and Judy are children of the third wife.
Hm. I guess Ryan is the only one who doesn’t have a sibling here. And I guess it’s the least of his problems.
“Can we all eat peacefully?” Mr Winthrop asked and the jerk scoffed – Royce.
The maid was done with my meal and I sighed and started eating from it.
When I heard the Winthrop family was on fire, I never understood what it meant.
But now, I think I just did.
I ate my food pitifully as everybody else ate in silence.
What a family.
“By the way, Bethel” Ryan’s mum said after the long silence and I lifted my head to look at her.
“Before I forget, I’ve had you and Ryan enrolled into a marriage class so you could take some marriage lessons which would enable you…”
“What?” Ryan cut in.
Oh God.
“What’re you talking about, mum?”
“Yes Ryan. It’s gonna be of help so you two Can create a good relationship. I mean, since you got married unprepared, its gonna aid you in growing your home” she explained.
What the heck?
“Really mum? I don’t need it” he blurted and she sighed and looked at me.
“As I was saying, Bethel; it’s Gonna help you both in building your home. Although, it’s meant for just engaged couples who are planning on getting married, but I was able to speak to the organizer and luckily, she gave her consent.
“The days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by 4 pm. So, you’ll be commencing today”.
“I told you mum; I don’t need it” Ryan said.
“Listen to your mother, Ryan and do as she says” Mr Winthrop said and he rolled his eyes.
Hmph.
But geez!
I can’t believe they’re really making this marriage stuff official.
“When it’s time, Bethel, I’ll let you know” Ryan’s mum said and I just nodded with a smile.

Soon, I was done eating and I took my bag and left the dining after waving bye to the important ones.
My driver was already waiting outside for me and I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I sat in the van.
Oh God; help me.
I leaned my back on the car seat and closed my eyes, trying to enjoy the ride. That family’s one in a zillion. Why did mum have to push me into something like this?
After a long while, the drive came to a stop and I figured we were there.
I opened my eyes and confirmed we were really in school.
Oops!
Dear Bethel;
Get ready for another set of eye recording.
I came out of the van and took in a deep breath before proceeding towards the building.
Surprisingly, I saw someone that made me halt.
Hold on;
What?
Jackson!
I scoffed and stopped to look at him as he walked towards me.
What’s he doing here?
