the fate played

Hailey Robinson

So the so called meeting or let me be more specific the matrimonial arrangement in the name of business between the Robinsons and the Langfords ended with a fucking conclusion.

To my relief, even Chris does not wants to be part of any of this shit, so we did fine by asking more time for ourselves, but fuck me when Mr.Langford said I am to move in with Chris because the convo to which I was dragged with; Chris and me alone, had me worried sick about the outcome of the settlements.

He seems to be smart enough to understand the situation and take in, instead of throwing tantrum like rich spoiled brats. My dad didn't even seem to show slight sign of happiness about the deal being done, instead he sounded so over it that he may blast off his head anytime.

He held me by the back of my waist and we walked out of the room together. The contact was slight, but it still had me breathing so consciously and making me nervous.

Chris looks huge, muscular and firm. The black suit jacket, the white dress shirt and those black pants were the highlight of his physical appearance. His face leaving me speechless, his full baby pink lips, that hard jaw, those thick brows, sharp cheek bones and sharper jaw line, and those ocean blue eyes. his near to godly features were making me curl up myself in a ball and hide from the world as I was about to be paired with him.

Looking at him made me realise that all those years I never cared about my appearance, I never cared how I look, but now I was starting to develop inferiority complex on a very small scale.

Being left alone in the room with Chris, did some weird magic to my senses because the tension was so fucking thick in the room, I was struggling so much to talk to him without stuttering or being lost.

Angel Hailey : so we settled with asking for more time?

Me : yeah

Devil Hailey : and we have to move in with Chris?

Me : yeah you heard Mr.Langford

Angel Hailey: and that too for a freakin -excuse my language- year

Me : yess

Devil Hailey : and after a year we marry Chris? I mean you but obviously it includes us as well so one and the same

Angel Hailey : you speak a lot

Devil Hailey : oh yeah ?

Angel Hailey : don't get on me now

Me : you guys, we need to figure a way out of this, no shit, that's why I agreed to this in first place to buy us more time, so shut it, will you ?

My summary was cut off by Chris, breaking the awkward silence between us, "Add the address to your home in GPS." I didn't want to bother him, we were already behind our day and as for me I already had texts from my team mates about me who would have to cover this evening plus tomorrow's extra shift as well, "I don't want to disturb you , just drop me off to nearby bus top and I'll be fine."

Chris turned slightly to me, "Its okay, nothing to worry about, I'll take you home, now drop the location." I did what he told me to and the drive went silent again.

I leaned back in my seat thinking about how things could have been different for me, if only I've would have fought for myself a bit harder. My life was very simple, no batshit or any sort of drama, I was taking what I was given and being grateful and only fought back when I thought the situation I am facing or the person in front of me is wrong.
