Episode 13
Arabella POV???
I wore a pair of dark blue blouse and a high waist black pencil skirt that stopped above my knee.
I paired it with my two inches black high heel. I applied medium make up to match it with my outfit. I untied my messy bun and let my brown hair curled naturally.
It reached my bra line perfectly. I spray a minimum amount of perfume before looks at myself in the mirror for the last time.
I smiled at my own reflection satisfied with my appearance for today.
I heard the ringtone of my phone before I manage to leave the house.
Who is calling this early? I looked at the name that appeared on the screen and smiled at that. “Morning dad,” I greeted the caller.
“Good morning, honey. How are you today?” I can hear a happy voice on the other line.
“Super-duper good, dad,” I exclaimed with a big smile.
“Good to hear that. Is it because of Dom you are in a super-duper good mood?” His name suddenly made my smile dropped.
“Dad,” I rolled my eyes. He just spoiled my mood by mentioning the name.
“Afraid not, dad. He is not related to me and my super-duper good mood,” I said sarcastically.
“Soon,” I heard dad chuckled.
“I heard about the good news. You finally said yes. I’m so happy, Ara. You made my day,” dad said with his happy voice.
“How do you know, dad? I just agreed to him last night and I can’t recall that I told you about his,” I asked, confused with the situation.
“Oh, honey. You just don’t have idea how close we are. My son in law,” he chuckled.
“Oh, not yet. I mean soon to be son in law,” he corrected with laughter. I shook my head in disbelief.
“So, he told you about this?” I just can’t believe he told my dad before I talk to them about this myself.
“Yeah and he also told me that today you guys will go for the dress fitting.” His words caused a gasp escaped my mouth.
“What?” I exclaimed.
“No, not that fast. He didn’t tell me anything about this.” He should talk to me first before making any plans.
“Maybe he just wants to give you a surprise,” dad said, backing his soon to be son in law.
Sound so annoying and soon I think he can’t even remember his own daughter anymore.
“Okay, dad. I need to leave for the office now. I will talk to you again this weekend,” I said noticing that it is the time for work.
“Sure, honey. See you this weekend.”
“See you, dad. Bye.”
We ended the called and I searched for my so-called Mr. Persistent number in my contact list.
While waiting for him on the line, I took out the key and opened the door headed to the parking lot.
“Hello sweetheart, good morning.”
“Not a very good morning and don’t call me sweetheart,” I scowled.
“Woah, so feisty. I love this,” I heard he chuckled.
“Who made you so pissed off?” He continued.
“Who else can make me angry other than you,” I said standing at the side of my car.
“I never knew I have this much impact on you.” He responded jokingly.
“Arghh, you know what.
I hate you so much,” I said gritted my teeth and he just laughed at my comment.
“I know you don’t. By the way, you look so cute when you are angry, and dark blue suits you really well,” he said with his cheerful voice.
“Whatever you said, I will never win,” I said pouted my mouth.
“Eh, wait, how do you know I’m wearing dark blue today?” I asked, out of curiosity.
“Turn to your back.” I immediately turned to look at what behind me. I saw a guy with a black suit and black sunglasses leaned his back onto the car.
He took off his sunglasses and waved his hand at me. I gritted my teeth and walked towards him. Just the right time to kick his a ss!
I punched him at his muscular chest and he laughed at my sudden attacks but he gripped my hand after that to stop me from keep punching his chest. I know he doesn’t feel pain at all.
I didn’t use that much energy with my hand. I just want to vent out my anger.
“Miss me that much?” A smirk appeared on his face.
My eyes widened at his sudden question. I tried to pull my hand out from his palm but he just pulled me closer to him and wrapped my waist and made my body glued to his. I blushed with the close distance between us.
“You are cute when your face turned red.” He said, gazing deep into my eyes.
Our distances were too close even an ant can’t pass through us now, just a few inches from each other.
My heartbeat increased at a crazy speed and I can feel butterflies all around my stomach. Dear butterflies, please go away!
“Can I have a morning kiss?” His words snapped me back to reality. I instantly moved my lips inwards and twirled my head to the side since I can’t move my body from his strong grip.
I don’t want to utter any words because I know with this close distance our lips will surely meet if I try to say anything.
Maybe he just waits for this opportunity. Well, s¢rew him! I will never fall into the trap.
My eyes widened when he pecked on my forehead. “I will wait when you are ready,” he said and released his hand from my waist but his other hand intertwined our hand. We are not a couple, I tried to scream but it vanished.
“Let me go,” I spat and tried to wriggle. He shook his head with my attempt.
“Don’t try. You will hurt yourself.” He tightened his hand. He smiled at me and asked, “so tell me, what made you so angry just now?”
“You,” I said poking at his chest. He looked at my finger that poking at him.
“You told dad about us and also about the fitting today. You didn’t discuss this with me,” I said glared at him straight.
“Ah, about that. I was too excited last night after you said yes. I texted our parents and let them know about the good news. I just want to make everything fast.”
I can clearly sense his excitement from his tone. I don’t know what happened to this guy but he looks addicted to me. Did he? I questioned myself.
“But I don’t want to make it fast,” with that he pulled me closer to him, again and now my body toppled on his body while he leaned his back towards the side of the car. I felt so helpless.
“I don’t care, Miss Stubborn. I will change your name to Mrs. Duncan as soon as possible and today is going to be our fitting day.” His hand placed on my back.
“Waaa..” I fake a sobbing sound with my eyes closed. I can’t do anything to defeat him.
“You bullied me,” I pouted. He laughed really hard at my attempt. I can feel his chest vibrating due to his laughter.
“Dmn, you are so cute.” He showers me with his ksses on my cheeks.
I was shocked at his sudden attack and immediately covered his lips with my palm and luckily this caused him to stop but not before he placed a kss on my palm.
“Don’t do that again,” I warned with my hand still on his lips.
He removed my hand. “Can’t help. You are too cute to resist.” He said chuckling.
“Can you let go of me and talk properly before I really cry out for real?” Making peace won’t harm. Well, I don’t see any chance for me to win in this situation.
He removed his hands from me and raised his hands mid-air as a sign of surrender. I let out a breath of relief. Finally, I can stand on my own feet without his hands on me.
“We will talk to my parents this weekend and after that, we will decide on the date for fitting. I don’t want to rush it and I can’t do it today,” I said tried to knock some sense into him.
He raised his eyebrows. I can see that he wasn’t happy with this. Or maybe just a little upset, I guess.
“Please…” I pleaded tried to get a yes from him. He tapped his finger on his chin acting like he is in deep thought.
“Please, please, please,” I pouted my mouth with my puppy eyes and now I saw his smile. He pinched on my pouted lips.
“Ok, but just this time.” He said finally agreed.
“Yeah,” I clapped my hands cheered for my own success.
“I didn’t finish my words yet.”
“What?” I asked. He made me nervous with his deep smile. I can sense that he will come with an unreasonable request. I know him well, oh, maybe not too well.
“Morning kiss,” he gestured with a smile. No, to be exact, a devilish smile.
“No, I’m not going to do that,” I rejected and putting a safe distance between us.
“Sure, then we are going for a fitting now.” He tried to pull my hand to his car.
“Ok, ok,” I said, escaping, from him before he manages to pull my hand. Not this time again, wolf.
“Close your eyes,” I said, and he raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah, close your eyes and I..I will give you a morning kss,” I could feel my face turned to red tomato.
He closed his eyes but the smile still plastered sweetly on his face. I covered my mouth with my hand when I almost burst out laughing.
Once I make sure he closed his eyes, I kicked him hard on his leg and my sudden attack made him tremble on the ground. I ran quickly to my car before he catches me.
“Ouch!” I heard him let out a painful scream by the time I ran to my car. I locked the door immediately and laughed hard at my own action.
“Ara!” He yelped but I make no attempt to go to him. I will not do any suicide attempts now. I drive my car out of the parking place and waved my hand to him.
He rubbed his leg while his eyes glanced at my car leaving him behind. Yes, one point for me. Serve you right!
