Arranged Marriage (Completed)

Threats

Ally's point of view

I huffed and sat down at my vanity. It had been one week since the auction, and my parents already wanted me to get to work. I would be training under my uncle, Jay. Today was my first day, and I was pretty nervous. 

Normani walked out of my bathroom in a navy blue pantsuit. She was already ready for work. "You are still sitting there. What's taking you so long?" Normani checked out her appearance in my mirror. 

I just had to put on my suit and top. I've already had my socks and undergarments on. I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around my legs, resting my head on my knees. "I don't want to go to work." 

"Oh honey." Normani wrapped her arms around me from behind. "You have to. You're an adult. You have to go make that money to pay your bills. Stop bitching and put some clothes on before you are late." She kissed my cheek. 

I grabbed her arms, keeping her close to me. "Or you can put back on your pajamas, and we can call in sick. We can spend the day together." 

"That sounds tempting, but some of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths. I have to work, and I've already missed so much of it." Normani sighed. "At this rate, I am definitely not going to get re-elected." 

"Hey!" I turned to look at her. "I can't help that I was born rich, you peasant. I have an idea. How about we spend some of my money together. I'll buy you whatever you want. All you have to do is call in sick today."

"Bribery won't work on me. We have to go to work. Put some damn clothes on." She pecked my lips before walking back towards my bathroom. 

"No! Let me be your sugar mama!" I yelled after her. 

"No, clothes on now!" She yelled from my bathroom. 

"Fine. I'll put on the suit. Not because I want to, but because you are yelling at me." I stood up and walked to my bed where I had my clothes laid out. 

"Thank you." She walked out and grabbed her pair of heels from in front of the bathroom door.

"On a serious note, you do know that you don't have to work once we are officially together. I can take care of you. If you want me to." I buttoned the last button on my blouse. 

"No, I can't let you do that. Ever since I was sixteen, I've always had a job. I can't not work. It's what I do." She buckled the strap on her shoes. 

I zipped up my pants. "Would you be a housewife if we had kids?" 

"I don't know, but I would definitely think about it." She stood up. "How do I look?" 

I looked her up and down as I slid on my dark brown saddle oxfords. "Amazing per usual." 

"Thank you." 

"Now how do I look?" I stood up, so she could check me out. 

"Like a boss." She grabbed my tie from off of the bed. "I like seeing you in suits. I'm glad that you are going to be wearing them more often." 

"I am glad that you like them. I'm going to miss my scrubs and crocs." I frowned. I am going to miss being comfortable. 

"Well when you are officially the boss, you can wear whatever you want. Are you going to put on makeup?" She finished tying my tie. 

"No. I don't feel like it." I shook my head. 

"Well a little lip gloss never hurt anyone." Normani pecked my lips. "There. Now you look perfect."

I wrapped my arms around her waist. "I don't think that was enough lip gloss."

"Make it enough." She stuck her tongue out at me.
