The arrangement : The encounter

chap 5

A/N: Scarlett with short hair ugh 😩😍 that's one of my favorite picture of her.

Scarlett POV :

The car ride was quite, really quite. I mean I didn't really want to talk with her but that silence was heavy and uncontrollable. Luckily thre was music in the car, what I assume was her playlist. I have to admit she had good taste.

But this silence was to much I wanted to go out of this car and now ! Like the universe was with me we arrived in the parking lot and she parked the car.

I didn't had the time to reach for the handle. That the door was already open and y/n ready to help me to get out of the car.

I couldn't ignore her this time so I took her hand and she helped me to get out. I sent her a smile as I whispered a little "Thank you".

She smiled back and nodded. God this smile. It was a charming and beautiful smile. She had probably a lot of women at her feet with this smile.

She guide us to the entrance of the restaurant and again held the door for me. And I smiled once more to her.

She wasn't that bad after all but she was still the woman that I was forced to "love" and marry and it was impossible.

I'm not gonna lie in others circumstances. I would already be in her bed B.U.T. I can't I don't know I feel like she's hiding something.

Y/n POV :

We sat up at our table and the atmosphere was heavy still surrounded with that uncomfortable silence. I decide to brake it and asked a question.

"So" I started to bring her attention. "How was you day ?" I asked.

"Horrible." She simply said looking at me.

"Yeah stupid question. It was obvious that you didn't had a good day." I say chuckling at the stupidity of my question.

"What makes you laugh ?" she asked probably thinking I'm laughing about her.

"Oh nothing it's just I realised the stupidity of my question. I mean how could you had a good day ? Your father announced you you were going to marry a stranger. Signed a contract so you were trapped and then forced you on a date with that stranger. I mean how could you had said yes to my question ?"

I started to laugh uncontrollably. I couldn't help myself I wasn't in control at that moment and I couldn't t stop.

I started to hear laugh in front of me I looked up and saw Scarlett laughing too. She's probably laughing at me but I don't care.

My god her laugh it's so beautiful and communicating it's alomost addicting. After a little while we finally stopped and looked at each other.

"I'm sorry I don't know what went trough me" I apologiseed.

"It's okay. I didn't laugh like that in a while" she said smiling.

"Scarlett... since we don't really have the choice I mean we're forced to be married but not to hate each other. We could at least try to get to know each other other" I suggested a bit nervous I don't even know why I was nervous.

"Yeah why not we could start with basic questions. Like how was your day ?" As she said that we immediately laughed again but the waitress interrupted our little moment.

"What would you like to take for the aperitif ?" She asked and us a menu.

"Heum I would like a champagne vintage-rosé" I commanded closing the menu and looking at Scarlett.

"Well I'll take the same please." She said looking at the waitress.

"Oh and for the meal can we have more time please ?" I asked looking at the waitress.
