Your comments give me life😂

West
"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" At 19 , I'm pretty sure I can decide whether to get married or not and to who.

" West, please listen to what your father has to say," Aunt Golda says as she latches onto my arm.

I shake her off and glower," Don't even bring yourself."

" This is for the family,boy. You should be glad to accept the honour." Father desperately glances at Mr Du Bois who is sporting a frown.

" Family,huh. The only person who considers me anything close to family is Seb. Not you,not your wife and Sebastian definitely doesn't need me getting married ,this is all for your company."

" It is going to be yours one day." Father yells.

" I don't want it!" I pushed back the chair. " I'll be taking my leave now but this 'marriage' is not happening."

"West, baby, listen" Merida then decides to join the fray," It's just a marriage of convenience,no strings attached kind of marriage. Besides, don't you still love me?" Her face crumples and she pouts.

I sneer," Are you fucking kidding me? You don't think that'll work,do you? If so you're losing your mind. My infatuation ended the moment you chose Kay. As you said, it's over. Get. Over. It."

I sidestep her and walk to my car. She furiously glares at me. Despite all her faults, Merida is one determined person.

Putting the car into reverse, I brake sharply when I see her standing in the middle of the road. " Move, Merida."

"Why won't you marry me? I'm hot and rich. What's there not to like?" She asks impudently.

My thoughts momentarily flitted to LylyAnne. What's she doing now?

" I'm talking to you!"

" Yeah,yeah."

"Besides your family is the one in crisis, not mine. You should be kissing my feet right now." She continues.

" Yeah,right. Move, Merida. Why are you so insistent for this thing to happen. What's in it for you?"

" Nothing, just want to help."

" Sure,move."
She remains standing.

" I won't hesitate to hit you. That'll even give me closure." I warn. I accelerate and crank up the speed quite scared that she'll remain on the road but she moves just in time. Ha.

..................................
I unlocked my apartment and head straight for the shower. Since the weather was way too cold, I took a seriously unhealthy hot water for my shower.

After showering, I picked up my phone and I already have about 20 missed calls. I return Seb's call," Hey."

" Don't hey me. Do you have any idea the amount of damage control I had to do? Things are seriously precarious right now." Sebastian whisper shouts.

"Sorry,but that's not my problem. Who the hell arranges marriages in this god-damned century."

" Well you are the obvious choice. I'm younger than Merida besides she's quite scary and that's something coming from me."

I laugh softly," You have no idea."

" But you'll have to talk to Father. He's beyond furious and he's trying to excuse your behavior to Mr Du Bois. You should talk to him also, he might understand."

I audibly sign," Right now, I'm tired and annoyed. I'll think of something tomorrow. Thanks for everything by the way." I hung up.

I open Lyly's text message. I smile at how cute she is. Pretty and nice. I turn to the table clock, it's quite too late to text back anyway. Before I know , I had fallen asleep to thoughts of LylyAnne Campbell.








Super short filler chapter 2.0.
