Poison

Pathetic. 12

Adonis- Lucas

I didn't want to do this. Not one bit. But I knew she wanted this more than anything. I wasn't sure why someone would want to go back to the place that gave them the most trauma they will ever experience, but she wanted to.

I hated the thought of her being around her father again. I didn't want him any where near her. And because do this I know I distancing myself from her.

I'll tell the truth. I'm scared.

I'm scared of the way she makes me feel. How she makes my stomach flip every time she looks at me. She drives me crazy. No one has ever done that before. So my natural reaction is to step back and pretend it's not happening.

But in the back of my mind, I here it ringing loud and clear. I'm gonna marry this woman. And we will have to be happy together. Or pretend to at least.

I don't know if I can do that. This marriage is gonna piss me off in so many ways.

The first one being that were being forced into it. The second is that she's just barely turn 18 and the third......I don't know how I'm not gonna be able to keep my hands off her.

She's gonna walk down that isle, in the beautiful dress of her choosing and get marrying me. My only complaint about that is she won't look at me with tears in her eyes when I lift that vail, she won't have a massive smile beaming from ear to ear at the excitement and thrill. It will all be fake to her. But I kinda wish I would be real.

The door to her house slowly inched open. It was her brother. Diego. She threw herself over him.

I looked at the ground. Diego led us both inside.

Ivan her oldest brother stood waiting for her. She threw herself over him as well. I merely watched with a furrowed brow and a stern expression. I was allowing her to see her family and then we were leaving. I don't want her any where near this house ever again. It too much for her to deal with. And god forbid her father lays a single hand on Isabela I will kill him here and now with my bare hands. His life means nothing but disgrace to me. Isabela deserves much more than the shitty family she was given and the cowardice brothers and her second degree mother, who cannot stand up for herself.

My jaw clenched further. I glared at Diego because of it. He simply gulped and looked straight to the floor. Again cowardice.

Ivan walked towards me with a serious look in his face. I couldn't help but laugh on the inside because boy is this gonna be fun.

"Hi I'm Ivan" he held out his hand for me to shake. I looked disgustedly at the unworthy, quivering hand held out in front of me.

"I know who you are" I looked him dead in the eyes. I didn't once break eye contact.

"So..." he said. "Your marrying my sister" he chuckled. I glared at him. "In this situation I would have had to check if this guy was good enough for my dearest sister but because it's you I'll make an exception." He smiled.

He thought he did something there.

"What exactly would you do?" I asked.

"Well I protect her from the wrong people. You know the type who want to hurt her." He told me.

"How would you do that when you couldn't even protect her from your own father." I practically spat in his face I was so close. But I didn't care. This man was acting all tough when in actuality he was the most cowardice person in the room.

He backed up and swallowed harshly.

"Lucas" Isabela whispered to me. "What was that about"

"I'm sorry." I whispered back. "I just can't stand them."

"I know. But please can you try a little. For me" she begged.

I rolled my eyes and put my hand on the small of her back.

"Isabela, Mamá has cooked food for us" Diego informed her. "She knew how much you miss her cooking." Her face lit up. It was nice to see her like that. The only look I've seen is one of exhaustion or she's just fed up.

But I see she's finally happy. And that makes me happy.
