We finally arrived at Faith's house. I have been avoiding eye contact with Lucas the whole ride. The almost kiss incident made me blush again. Ugh, I am 20 years old and I still didn't have my first kiss.
I opened the door and got out of the car when Lucas shouts for me to stop. I purposefully ignore him and try to run off.
I hear the car door shut and I am running as fast as I could to run away from him.
Suddenly, he grabs my arm and turns me around.
I scream at him to let go and he does. Suddenly, I blush again remembering the almost kiss. Ugh. I need to forget and let it go.
He sighs and says, "My sister told me to tell you that we have to get our outfits planned for our wedding tomorrow."
I nod my head and he tells me he will pick me up at 11 AM tomorrow. I just keep on nodding and avoid eye contact.
He sighs again and ruffles his hair with his large hand.
Suddenly, his eyes become cold and tells me something that actually hurt my feelings.
He says, "As I have said this before to you, when we first met, I will never love you. This marriage is strictly just for the benefit of our family's business partnership. I don't want you to start having feelings for me because I will never have feelings for you. We are going to mind our own business and not bug each other. We will just be like strangers just married and living together. That's it. I will pick you up tomorrow."
With that said, he walked off to his car again.
I now realized why my sister didn't want to get into this marriage. He must have told this to Faith when they first met.
She always believed in soulmates. This must have made her cry that much when she told me what happened.
What confused me the most was that his words actually hurt me. He was just a jerk, but what he said made me want to cry.
I went into Faith's house and tried to make myself feel better by eating ice cream.
That did help a little bit, so I went into the restroom to take a bubble bath.
After singing my heart out in the shower and using all the bad words I knew to cuss at Lucas, I got out of the shower feeling refreshed.
I jumped on Faith's bed and sighed happily.
As, I fell asleep, I wondered what would happen tomorrow.
