Be My Bride

chapter 17

  Kimberly

" There's going to be a storm later tonight, and authorities have suggested that everyone remains indoors. The chirpy voice of the news-broadcaster boomed through the house.
 
    The door of the house was left slightly ajar and I wondered who could have left the door opened. I passed through the door and went outside and then, it started raining. From little showers to a full on storm accompanied by thunders and lightening and all of a sudden... It became dark.

   " Kim help me. Help me. Kimberly." Someone screamed my name and I turned only to see my dead husband Sam. Inside his crushed car. With my heart beating furiously, I approached the car and stifled a cry as I saw him covered in blood. He was wearing the same clothes that were shown to me when his body was discovered.

  " Sam, Sammy, hold on I've got you." I said as I unhooked his seat belt, freeing him and he leaned on me and whispered the word.  " Cheater."

    ***************

    I gasped as I opened my eyes. I was sweating profusely as I opened my eyes. Samuel was sleeping next to me fast asleep. I took the jug of water next to me and took a sip of it to calm my erratic beating heart.

    I couldn't sleep anymore, so I stood up and left the room.  Today was our last day in the island. I recounted everything that happened in the span of two weeks. Everything felt rushed and unreal. The dream was very unsettling and disturbing. I thought Sam would be happy that I was happy but I was wrong.

    I had mixed up feelings now. I made breakfast and ate alone in the kitchen  island. Since today was our last day here, the maids too were already packing their bags. I was told that they would leave after we must have left.

      It was still early when I finished eating so I went outside to receive some fresh air. I sat down on the pavement as I felt the fresh breeze envelope me. I sighed as I stared into nothingness. My thoughts a million miles away. I heard the click of a camera which immediately pushed me out of my reverie. I turned to face a grinning Samuel.

   " What are you doing,"  I asked him.

   " I couldn't help, you looked so focused." He said in amusement.

I smiled. " Well, someone has to do the thinking around here." I said and he laughed.

  " Very funny Kim." He said sarcastically as he took a seat next to me.

He must have just woken up from sleep some minutes ago because his hair was tousled.

   " Tell me, what you're thinking about." He said as he clasped his hands around mine.

    " Nothing, just remembering all the events that happened between the both of us." I said to him.

   " Yeah, we've come a long way in an extremely short amount of time but that doesn't matter does it? " He asked me and I nodded.

   "Good." He said as we sat down together in a comfortable silence.   He took a stone from the ground and threw it at the water mindlessly.

   " Can I ask a question?" I asked.

   "Sure." He replied

   " Okay, I was wondering why your sperm was in the hospital in the first place."

   " Well it's kind of like a tradition in my family. Like a precaution. Well my dad's great grand Uncle, he was originally in charge of the family business but then he died suddenly and since he had no heir there was a tussle for the ownership of the business between his brothers and they ended up killing themselves and the ownership of the business went to my father's great granny who was his sister so from that point, every male in the family started depositing their sperm in the sperm bank. It's stupid I know. I objected too. It's even ironic that I told them that  what if a woman gets pregnant with my sperm and they said that that was ridiculous well fate has a way of doing things." He said.

   " Whoa. Actually that's true."

   " What are we going to do when we get back?"

  " Well I'll obviously go back to work. I have to warn you though. I get too engrossed in work that I always lose track of time. Mom calls me a workaholic at time. He said as he smiled.

    Damn he's so handsome. I wonder why there aren't many girls trying to chase him.  As soon as I thought that, a frown replaced my smile.

   " What's wrong?"

  " Nothing, I just thought about something." I said.

   " What ?"  He asked.

   " Do u remember that night at your party well I heard something from someone and basically, I was wondering if we're supposed to be faithful to each other."

   I asked him and he had a flat expression.

    " Well of course I would expect total commitment from me partner and I would do likewise. So don't worry about that.  Come let's go shower." He said as he helped me up.

    Heyyyyyy so I don't really have much planned for this chapter for now see you in the next one
