What was I thinking saying her all this things. I mean marriage was out of question but now that she suggested it I can't see it otherwise.
I might be a sadist for finding pleasure in her dilemma as the only one benefiting from it is clearly me.
I'll be able to get Thomas off my back and Eliza on my side. How amazing and groundbreaking is that?
Jokes on Thomas. Poor fella didn't have any idea about what's to be bestowed on him.
But this is all Eliza's call. Unless she decides it to be so or else my dreams can go screw themselves.
I have never or cannot imagine myself getting married. It still frightens me. The responsibility of someone else always lingering with you.
But heck, if Eliza needs it for her protection then I am willing break my little fright for it. What am I ? Her knight in shining armour?
You want to be don't you?
No. I am far from the white knight in shining armour instead I am the dark monster to drag her into the pit of darkness, not until she drags me out of it.
My head is pounding from so many thoughts. And my heart is clenching from so many feelings.
Just then my phone rings and wakes me up from the illusion I was drowning into. I look up the screen to see Aria calling me.
"Hello"
"Xavier, I sent you you so many texts what's up with you?" I move the phone from my ear to see my screen flooded in notifications from her.
"I was busy, why did you call?"
"A 'how are you' would be nice" she says as I huff at her words and internally roll my eyes.
"Aria get to the point" I hear her mimicking me across the phone and wait impatiently as she says "always on the point, anyways Mr. Zachary was asking about update on the Watson case"
Great as if I am not worried enough. "Tell him I am working on it."
"And how is Flo? I heard she's staying with you? You never said me what happened after the hospital incident"
"I'll talk to you later, I have work now and if you want to talk to Flo then call her, I've better things to worry about"
"You sly f-" before she can finish her sentence I hang up the phone not hearing any more of the nonsense she was about to spew.
Walking out of the office I find Flo on her way to upstairs as she stops when she sees me.
"Boy you've got lots of explaining to do, why was Eliza in such a sour mood? If you even touch one hair on her head you'll have it from me"
"Shut up, we have other things to talk about"
"What things?"
"Come with me to my room I'll say there, I've been in my study room way too long for me to go back in there again"
She nods as we walk towards my room.
Entering I close the door and begin from the very beginning telling her the recent updates. —————————
"And now she said me she won't marry anyone unless he shares the same caste as her"
She looks at me in horror and says "Jeez that's quite a demand from her, but as far as I know you don't have any problems right?"
"What do you mean? Okay suppose I converted but I won't stop doing what I do and that way she'll never really confide in me, I'll just be a pretence husband for her"
She sits down giving me a knowing look and says "Xavier at least you gotto start somewhere, I mean she said those things to you because she trusted you and expected you'll understand her, that day you were whining about liking her and now finally you have a chance so don't screw it up"
Grunting I sit down opposite her and nod. "You're right, atleast I'd be able to save her from that arse, and who cares after my work's done she'll go to her previous way of life and I? Mine"
"That's a good plan, now go to her and tell her you agree on marrying her, also you know you need to talk to her father before all that"
Nodding I get up and walk towards Eliza's room knocking like a mad man. She opens on the fourth knock looking like an angel fallen from heaven with sleepy eyes and pouted lips.
My heart sinks down and it takes everything in me to look away elsewhere.
"Xavier?" She says in her ever so sleepy voice making me feel things and twitch in annoyance.
"Yeah, I need to talk to you" she nods at my words as I ask "can I come in?"
Nodding again she makes way for me to enter as she fixes her scarf. Sometimes I wonder what her hair must look like? Even in such covered clothes she looks better then anyone and stands out so much.
Pushing my thoughts away I close the door as she looks up in suspicion.
"Relax I just want to talk" her eyebrows go back to ease as she sits opposite to me and I to her.
"So did you come up with anything?" She asks me as she rubs her eye gently, lord give me strength to bear this bundle of innocence whilst I am anything but that.
"Yeah, are you ready to talk now? Or do you still need some more time?"
She motions for to me to say as I brace myself before sharing my plan with her. Just do it Xavier, you've done far more scary things then to anxious over this.
"The only way to get you of Thomas's grasp is to announce your marriage ceremony or some sort of engagement, now you could do that with a normal guy but that won't stop Thomas, instead he'll just be more arrogant and try to have you even more then he wants now"
"So then what should I do?" She asks as I nod and say-
"So as you suggested earlier you and I should announce our union, which will cause him to back the heck off, now I know you're worried about my religion and stuff so before the marriage happens we will just hire any local priest or whoever is required"
"But instead of actually getting married can't we just fake it?" She asks me with worry clouded in her expression.
"Well yeah we could that is if you're willing to stay with me without the act of wedlock?" She abruptly shakes her head indicating 'no' as I get a string of warmth over me.
"Xavier, all this is ok but my family and my friends what do I tell them?"
I get up with the intention of leaving before I say "I'll handle your family you handle the friends part"
I leave the room not missing the confusion in her face before she can speak anything else I can't give explanation for.
