The Forced Wife

Chapter 14

Brian was jolted awake by  the beeping of his phone that not only woke him but also irritated him , he slowly opened his eyes and decided that before he could attend to his phone he needed the bathroom and to freshen up quickly , Upon brushing his teeth , he couldn't help but reminisce on yesterday's events. In all honesty , he has to admit that he really enjoyed yesterday more than anything, he thought  hook ups and one night stands were fun but yesterday was peaceful , serene and he was shocked himself that he could enjoy a day with a girl without sex let alone a kiss

He went to bed in  a rather pleasant mood, where all he thought about was Jasmines beauty and the way she spoke, her voice , her warm curly hair bouncing up and down when she is moving to a tune, her laughter.. He knew it was still soon to say he is in love but truth be told, he was attracted to his wife 

After brushing his teeth he then attended to him phone , with an annoyed expression because the person on the other line was really persistent ,with a the constant beeping  suggesting that ir is not only a missed call but it is multiple missed calls and message. Upon looking at his phone, his once cheery and jolly mood faded away as he listened intently to what his mate on the other line was saying

"Brian you dog, We've been trying to contact you multiple times, you're probably hung over or tired from shagging some random girl, anyways, Don, Sharon , Cecil and Doug were here , We've book a hotel near where you are , Operation Honeymoon nightmare is underway, that gold -digger is going to regret messing with you, so we'll just freshen up and get you for brunch...see you mate and answer your phone you ass...

Upon hearing that , the wave of fear overcame him, it scared him that his friends are here and afraid on what they will do , what was the plan for operation honeymoon nightmare, he wondered. In all honestly he had to be fearful because not only are these his good mates , so he has witnessed how they treat people below them , worse part they bought Sharon with them , his ex and he knows how ruthless she is especially if she doesn't get what she wants . He regrets telling them about his arranged marriage 

When  they were discussing it, it felt like a grand plan especially to get back to his grandfather and now that he knows that it was neither him or Jasmines plan to get married, and Jasmine didn't want this too, he was engulfed with guilt and not anticipating meeting his mate . He would try telling them to call off the whole thing or he can even ditch them but his plan would fail because this is the vacation house that he always went with them 

He didn't listen to the other voice messages anymore , instead he needed  coffee and really need to plan out how this is going to go down, because yes, he wanted to hurt Jasmine and make her run for the hill but she's she is also as innocent as he is , it was all his grandfathers plans. He went downstairs in a quiet mode , he didn't want to disturb her peaceful slumber as he was disturbed .

As he settled with his cereal instead of coffee , he contemplated deeply on how this all go down, whether he should tell his friends to call off the whole ordeal or just not reply to their texts but he knew very well that all his plans are futile 

"Good morning" said a smooth voice coming from behind him, he looked up and saw an angelic face heading towards the coffee machine , with her lavish lavender pajamas , the smell of freshly brewed coffee woke him to his senses and he knew he had to answer her before she thought he was being weird again

"Morning, Morning...how did you sleep" He murmured with his raspy voice from not speaking the whole day, He looked at her to see her gesturing if he indeed wanted a cup of coffee too

"I slept wonderful and how about you"   Jasmine  said as she placed the rim of her cup to her lips , fully facing him

"I slept well, thanks....hey my mates came to visit this side so it  thought we could have brunch together , if that's okay with you" he said , taking his eyes off the bowl of cereal and looking up to her, he was slightly guilty and a anxious about the whole meet-up, he understand  why his friends would be mean to Jasmine because of how he told the story and portrayed Jasmine , how to undo the whole thing is his greatest obstacle he has ever had to face. he was hoping Jasmine would decline his offer

"I would love to" She said ,placing a cup of coffee next  to him . 'Oh boy' , he thought in his head, Jasmine on the other was a little smitten that she was invited to meet his close friends but was also a little anxious and worried about what she'll wear, knowing her closet , she knew that the only thing that looked decent enough was what she was wearing yesterday  and she really wished she could dressed decent to meet and somewhat don't be looked down on by his mates 

As is Brian could read her mind , He suddenly spoke up

"I noticed you didn't pack a lot and you didn't pack for the event like I did, I want to go grab some few outfits for the brunch , I though you would also love to get some things for yourself too, plus you ladies love shopping a lot". She could see that he is just sugar-coating everything and trying to be nice , she knew that he has seen her clothes and her clothes don't really match his standards, he's just trying to tell her that she needs new clothes but in a polite way and she herself doesn't want to embarrass him with  worn out hand me downs

30 minutes after talking ,He quickly texted his friend on the location they could meet and run upstairs to get dressed, once he was done he knocked on Jasmines door to tell her he's  ready to go 

"Ready?" He grew obsessed with looking into her honey eyes ,or seeing her curly hair bounce off her shoulder, he didn't care if she worn ripped clothes because his focal point was her radiating face 

"Yes" she said softly and they went downstairs to their car for some last minute shopping, arriving at this ravish mall, Brian directed them to this fancy and very expensive shop that catered to both men and women, He then signaled that she go pick whatever she wants and he will do the same. grabbing one of the first material on the rack , she choked when he saw the price, the shirt thingy she was holding was worth two months of bills and water but she knew that this is nothing to him 

She went further and further down the isle until she was attracted to an orange thigh button side satin cami dress that would go well with this pleasant weather and would accentuate her curves beautifully , she did not want to look at the price but instead she  looked at other options if that one failed

"That would look great on you, especially with these sandal" The store assistant holding out a pair of while strap shoes with diamond in the middle 

She agreed and looked further for more outfit if this weather would decide to change . After a while of constant shopping especially on Jasmine's side , they headed out to the house and go to the destined location where the meeting is going to happen ...
