MARRIED TO MR POPULAR : Episode 31 – 40
(Rude and grumpy)
Episode 35
By: Faith Lucky.
Bethel’s Pov:
The rays of the sun glinting on the window reflected on my face as I fluttered my eyes open.
At first, my vision was blur, but I could tell I was staring at the ceiling.
I yawned and tried recalling what had happened the previous night. I could remember getting drunk – yes. Then, I dozed off.
Hold on…
So, how did I end up in the bed?
I turned my neck and saw Ryan sleeping beside me.
Whaaaaat?
I gasped and sat up immediately.
Ryan! Sleeping on the bed beside me?
How…
How did it happen?
I mean,
First, I thought he was avoiding me?
And second, this was the first time I was waking up to see him sleeping beside me since we got married. Each time I woke up, he was always out of bed already – making me think he didn’t even sleep on the bed at all.
I exhaled and shook my head. It was incredible. I still couldn’t believe he was sleeping beside me. Why didn’t he sleep in the guest room like he’s been doing for the past few days? I thought he was still mad at me.
I placed my hand on my chin and stared into his pretty face. I couldn’t believe he made me cry yesterday. I’ll definitely get back at him. Even if we make up and get back on good terms, I’ll make sure I make him cry one day and beg me for something ?
I smiled and left the bed after watching him enough for a long time.
I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I couldn’t tell why, but I felt kinda happy that morning. Maybe it was because Ryan slept beside me on the bed.
I giggled and watched myself in front of the mirror.
Suddenly, a sharp pain niggled at me – right there below my abdomen.
I groaned and held onto the table for support.
Oh, God! Please don’t tell me it’s the monthly visitor.
I sighed and bent my head for a while, then continued brushing.
I was usually very scared of it because mine seemed to be the worst – to me.
It always came with excruciating pains – making me feel like cutting off my v.
Shortly, I was done with my teeth and returned to the bedroom. But when I did, I couldn’t find Ryan on the bed anymore.
Huh? Where was he?
Hm.
I shrugged and left the room as well, headed for the dining. I was actually starving.
I got to the dining and found everyone there already – including Ryan!

So, he actually left the room to come to the dining – without saying a word to me.
Geez! Bethe; what am I even thinking?
What am I expecting him to say? It seems I’m forgetting the fact that he’s mad at me.
“Bethel darling” his mother called as soon as she saw me.
It has become more of a habit.
“Good morning ma’am” I greeted with a smile and took a seat.
Ryan was sitting next to her on the other side of the table.
“Aww. You forgot to call me mum today”, she said grouchily and I chuckled.
“Good morning sir” I greeted Mr Winthrop.
I guess he doesn’t care if I call him dad or not.
“Good morning dear. How was your night?” He replied and asked.
“It was fine. Thanks” I replied.
The maids served me my meal and I began eating immediately.
Go$h! I was so hungry.
I felt the sharp pain again and almost groaned out loud, but luckily I didn’t.
“Are you alright, Bethel?” Ryan’s mum asked.
Unfortunately, she was quick enough to notice the discomfort on my face.
“I’m fine” I said with a feigned smile and continued eating slowly.
“By the way, Ryan” Mr Winthrop said after a while.
“Later in the day, by 1 pm, you’ll be attending a brief seminar with Bethel at the Samese Enterprise. Its a meeting for the CEO’s of connected companies, but unfortunately, I’m having an important meeting else where. So, you and Bethel will need to go to represent the both companies” he said and I gulped down water immediately.
“I’m having an appointment by 3” Ryan said.
“Come on, Ryan; no excuses. This meeting is damn too important. Even if you don’t listen to what they say, but your presence there is of great importance because an attendance will be taken.
“Besides, the meeting will only be for a short time and you can still meet up for your appointment” he enthused and Ryan just scoffed and focused on his meal.
“Hope you’re okay with it, Bethel?” Mr Winthrop asked.
Oh! So, he even cares about my feelings?
“Yes” I replied with a nod.
“Okay, then. Be sure you two leave on time” he added.
The rest of the time on the dining was quiet as nobody had anything else to say.
Ryan stood up not long after, after receiving a call with his phone and I figured he was going out.
He took the stairs and obviously went to the room to probably get dressed and leave.
Well, today was weekend. So, I had nowhere to go – except for the meeting, of course.
After eating to my fill, I left the dining as well and headed upstairs for the room.
When I got in, I found the prince charming standing in front of the mirror, dressing his collars.
Hm.
He turned and looked at me as I walked in and after which, he took his eyes back to the mirror.
I stood and watched him from behind for a while before going to sit on the bed.
The sharp pain came again.
Oh God! It was so painful.
I shut my eyes and held my tummy tight. And I’ve been advised to stop making use of aspirins.
The pain subsided and I opened my eyes to see Ryan staring keenly at me.
Oh, God!
“Are you okay?” He asked with a crumpled look.
“Y…Yes” I replied with my eyes fixed on the floor.
Hold on; he just spoke to me!
He did!
I opened my eyes wide and looked at him as he turned back to the mirror to finish up his arrangement.
Ryan really spoke to me!
He asked if I was okay!
Molly!
He rounded up and took two of his phones from the table, leaving one behind.
He walked pass me and got to the door.
‘I’ll be back before 1 for the meeting. So, get ready in time” he said without looking at me and finally walked out.
I stared downwards and smiled to myself.
Ryan did speak to me.
First, he slept on the bed with me. And now, he spoke to me.
Could it be possible he’s beginning to forgive me?
I giggled happily, but just then, the pains came again, snapping me out of my happy thoughts.
“Ouuuch!” I yelped in discomfort and held my tummy tight, almost squeezing it.
I’m not sure this is how every other lady feels.
Why does mine have to be this different?
If the pains could be this much, then what would labour pains be like?
The pains subsided and I laid flat on the bed immediately, feeling so weak.
I rested for a short time and decided to take a walk.
The pains just kept coming and going and it made me really scared of when it’d come fully.
I decided to take a walk, hoping it’d help.
I got to the sitting room and met Lana watching a movie.
“Hey Bethel” she called in a sweet smile.
“Hi” I smiled back at her.
That jerk is really lucky to have someone like her for a fiancee.
“How’re you feeling now?” She asked but I didn’t really understand what she meant.
“I’m…fine” I drew my reply.
“Well, you ended up drunk last night and I’m still curious regarding why it happened”. She said.
Oh! So, she was there.
And speaking of which…
“Sorry, were..were you the one that took me to the room?” I asked.
“Huh? Of course, not. It was Ryan” she replied and my eyes beamed.
“Ry…Ryan?” I repeated in disbelief.
“Yeah. Don’t you remember any of it?” She asked, but I kept mute.
Ryan had been the one?
So, he touched me? Carried me in his arms?
Oh, God! How come I can’t remember any of it?
I heaved a huge sigh and blinked rapidly.
I can’t believe that happened between Ryan and I.
My phone started ringing and I checked to see it was Nicole.
Perfect time to distract me.
I rolled my eyes and went out to the balcony to receive it since Lana was busy with a movie.
“Hello girlfriend” she called on the phone as soon as I picked up.
“Hey” I called lowly.
“Happy weekend. Hope you’re enjoying yours?” She asked teasingly and I rolled my eyes like she could see me.
“Anyway, I called to know how you were doing. How’s it going with your husband? Is he still mad at you?’ She asked and that was the moment I smiled.
“Not really” I replied.
“Oh, my God! Tell me about it, Bethel. Are you two on good terms now?'” She squeaked.
“Its a long story, Nicole. But I think he isn’t entirely mad at me anymore” I replied and she screamed.
“Oh my gee! I’m so happy for you, bae. Finally. Well, its a good thing, you know? I mean, you can’t have your husband mad at you when valentine is right around the corner” she said and I rose my brows.
Oh! Valentine.
I almost forgot. It was three days time.
“I’m so happy for you, Bethel”, she continued.
“And I’m sure you’ve learnt your lesson with that Jackson guy”.
I bent my head and smiled but was taken abacked when the gates opened and I saw Ryan’s cars driving out.
What the…
I looked into my phone and discovered the time was…
Whaaaat?
12:32!
What the earth?
“Bethel?” Nicole called on the phone.
“I need to go, Nic. I’ll call you later. Bye” I said hastily and ended the call.
Oh my God!
How did the time fly so fast?
I ran into the house immediately and headed straight for the room.
I still couldn’t understand how the time moved so fast. I mean, after having breakfast, all I did was rest for a little while.
But when did I even wake up?
Geez!
I ran into the bathroom and took the shortest bath I’d ever taken in my entire life.
I rushed out and found something nice to wear – a short white gown and a set of blue heels.
I did everything in a hurry and couldn’t even apply enough make up on my face.
Finally, I was done and that was when the door opened to Ryan showing up.
“Are you done?” He asked as he stood at the doorway and I nodded slowly.
Then, he closed the door and left and I took my blue bag so I could follow him behind.
The pains came hitting at me again and I paused and leaned on the door to groan.
Oh God! I really hope it doesn’t affect me at the meeting.
I checked myself, but there was no droplet yet.
I really hope it doesn’t come around till I’m done from the meeting. I wonder why it had to be today.
I took in a deep breath and tried swallowing down the pains. And feebly, I opened the door and left the room.
