Arranged Marriage || 28

[ - joshua - ]

I woke up due to an alarm going off. I wanted to turn it off, but I couldn't find where my phone is... It was ringing constantly so I immediately woke up to see where the sound is coming from.

That's when I saw a phone on the small rack beside this bed. I turned off the alarm as I let out of a sigh. I looked around to process whatever I could at this time and that's when I noticed that I'm not in my room

Wait wait, what happened-- Why am I in Sophia's ???

I tried to recall what happened last night and I immediately blushed remembering what happened. Did I really ask to sleep with her last night I-- Oh my gosh Joshua what in the hell,,,,

She's probably downstairs to cook---

That's when I heard the water running in her bathroom. I suddenly felt nervous, like REALLY nervous. I should probably go to my room to get ready for work now.

I got off of the bed and tidied it up first. I mean I'm the last one to got off of here, so I shouldn't leave it be, ESPECIALLY when this isn't my own bed.

I was about to leave when the bathroom door opened which startled me the most

"Oh Shua, you're awake" said Sophia.

I turned around to see her in a bathrobe as her hair was lowkey wet. I could feel my heart beating so fast as I'm getting more nervous for god knows why. Heck, who wouldn't be when you're in the same space with a pretty woman ?

I was basically starstruck at this point

"After you've finished getting ready and I'm not at the dining table yet, just eat first okay ??? Don't wait for me" said Sophia as she sat down at her makeup table I suppose ?

She was still drying her hair with her towel while I'm here, still watching her like a damn statue. I can't help it. I couldn't help but adore her. Something about her is just attractive in a lot of ways

"Shua ?" she turned around to look at me and I snapped out of my thoughts

"Aren't you going to get ready for work ?" she asked

"A-ah, yeah yeah... Just um... Uh..." I scratched the back of my neck, trying to find an excuse

She stood up from the chair as she approached me

"Your face's getting redder, are you really okay ?" she asked and she's really close to me. I felt like I was paralyzed right there and then.

She placed the back of her hand onto my forehead. Her hand was so cold. I could feel my heart beating so fast

"What am I kidding, my hand is hella cold. There's no point on checking" she facepalmed herself

"You're not sick right ?" she asked and I nodded

"You sure ??? You've been like a whole ass statue in my room for god knows why. Get ready for work, we might be late" she was about to go back to the makeup table but I stopped her

She turned around to look at me as she was really confused.

"Joshua wh---"

I cut her off with a kiss. I just had to.

She didn't push me away, she went on with the flow. I pulled her closer and held her back as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

It went on for a while until we broke off the kiss, catching our breath.

"S-sorry" I apologized

"Why are you being sorry ?" she chuckled

"For that sudden action of mine" I scratched the back of my neck

"Oh come on Joshua. We've been married for a month already. Plus, this isn't the first time" she tapped my nose lightly as she giggled

"I was surprised, but I don't mind" her face was close to mine

"So there's no need to be sorry about it" said Sophia before she kissed me again

I went with the flow and it went on for a while before we broke off the kiss.

"Now mr gentleman, we have work so you gotta get ready for work. The breakfast would also get cold if we're taking too long" she laughed as she lets go of me

"And if you would, get out now. I gotta change" she added

I let go of her waist as I took a step back

"I-I'll see you later on" I said to her

"Will do" she said with a smile

I left her room to mine as I wanted to get ready for work. I am still hella flustered thinking about what happened earlier. Did we really make out for the first time in our marriage ?? Oh gosh--

My heart is beating so fast...

[ - sophia - ]

When he got out of my room, I placed my hand on top of my lips as I felt my face heating up IMMEDIATELY. We literally made out for the first time I-- I was also being a whole ass other persona and oh lord--

I'm so embarrassed by myself now--

My heart was racing. Did I really just--- Damn--- This is all because of how much in relationship that I'm confident as fuck--

I slapped both of my cheeks lightly as I grabbed my curling iron to curl up my hair like usual. Stop thinking about it for now, you gotta get ready for work. Romance is in another business. Now it's time to focus on getting ready for work and preferably AVOID thinking it until we've finished working

I really really hope this wouldn't get in the way of our work when we're in the office for god sakes.
