Married to Him?! [Greyson Chance]

Chapter LI - Shit Happens

Chapter 51

"S-Sorry." I stammered and crouch down to pick up the broken pieces. Even though my line of sight is focused at the now broken plate, I could feel Jamie's eyes bore through mine. I could hear her breath hitch a bit and somewhat tensed.

"It's nice to see you again, Greyson." Craig said in a monotone voice.

"I can't say the same." I replied, without glancing at him. What Jamie earlier was still ringing through my ears. My chest is feeling mixed emotions and my mind is all rambled. The only thing that my brain can process is how stupid I am for letting this plate fall into the ground. Don't forget to mention the fallen spaghetti that is scattered on the ground.

Man, what a waste.

"Ow!" I hissed. Great! Due to my train of thoughts, I managed to cut my finger. I withdrew my hand and just stare at the blood dripping. Funny how my chest is hurting more than my wounded finger.

Jamie crouch down on my level and brought my finger to her lips. She gently suck the blood while I watch her. The nostalgic scene ended so quickly that I didn't quite process the whole thing. Jamie sent her lip in a tight line before standing up.

"I'll take my leave, now." Craig said, with a hint of uneasiness. "Jamie, I'll drop by again tomorrow. Be sure to sign those papers before flying to Paris." He turned his back against us and muttered quietly. "I'll tell the family upon your decision."

Butch rushed in time just to open the door for Craig. He gave me an apologetic smile before following the young lawyer out of the house. Meaning, I was left with Jamie inside the living room. The tension seems to tighten and the air around us magically transformed to Carbon Dioxiode which makes it hard to breathe. Now that you mention it, it feels like someone's choking me from behind. Just hours---wait----seconds is all it needs to kill me.

Now I sound like a delusional freak.

"Greyson....."

"What?" I snapped. She flinched and quickly regained her composure. 

"I can explain." She said in a hush tone. 

A bitter laugh escaped my lips. "What's the use of explaining if there's nothing to explain?" I stood up and retreated a few steps back. "I get it, Jamie. It's okay. But you could've told me that you don't want to be with me rather than telling it behind my back." 

"I want to be with you!" She shouted. Determination was clear in her eyes but it was mixed with hesitation. "B-But if being with you means getting your dad to jail, then I think it's best if I cut all connections with you." Her voice dropped into a whisper. 

"If you want to be with me then you should've fight for what we have!" I shifted my anger to my right fist and connected them in the wall behind me. "We could've make them understand that we aren't objects just for money!" 

"Your Dad is going to jail!" 

"I have my own life, Jamie. I can do whatever I want! And what I want is to be with you!" 

"Why is it hard for you to understand?" She cried. "We can't be together. Is your Dad really not that important to you?" 

"He's a grown man. He can take care of himself." I crossed my arms over my chest. "Besides, if he doesn't want to stir up trouble, he should've thought about it before betting your Grandfather to some Chinese merchant."

She opened her mouth to speak but I interrupted. "What kind of a parent is he, anyway? Arranging his son to marry someone he doesn't know because of money. But the moment I grew to love it, he does something stupid to wreck my life!" I ran my fingers through my hair.

"I wish he wasn't my Da--"

SLAP!

JAMIE: 

Greyson stare at me with wide eyes. His hand slowly touched the red mark on his cheek that resulted in me, slapping him hard. I didn't mean to do that. But with the given situation, I got no choice but to do this. I know his fan girls would kill me if they found out what I did. Other girls would be down on their knees when they realized what they did. 

But not me. 

"Don't you dare say that." I hardened my stare at him. 

He quickly recovered from the slap and lets out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry." He whispered. My stare instantly softened as well as my fists. "What can I say? I already have the family I always wanted. And now they're taking it away from me." 

I opened my arms and hugged him. Greyson didn't even hesitate to hug me back and leaned his head on top of mine. Closing my eyes, I inhaled a bit of his scent and practically let myself drown into bliss. "I love you, Jamie." He whispered against my hair. 

At this moment, I told myself. I love this guy! I love this guy so much that I have to let him go. He's family. And family should love each other. Guilt continues to consume me. It's like its telling me, He's in love with you while you just love him. What kind of a relationship is that?

"I don't want to lose you." He whispered, his voice cracking. I pulled away to meet his brown eyes. "I don't want to be apart from you. I won't last a second without you, Jamie. If that happens, I might go crazy." 

I leaned my forehead against his and planted a kiss on the tip of his nose. "Marriage is just a piece of paper. It's not the only way to show the world that you really love each other." A weak giggle escaped my lips. "You said so yourself." 

"B-But you don't understand. I---" 

I wrapped my arms around his neck so that our noses would brush with each other. "So what if we're not married? Does that change what we feel about each other? We could get a divorce, but cutting connections? I don't think so." 

"No! You don't understand!" He tore himself away from my arms and gave me look of sadness mixed with desperation. "I don't want a divorce. I don't want to sign those goddamn papers!" 

"W-What do you mean?" 

"I'm engaged." He slowly gulped and licked his lips. "If I sign those papers, not only will I lose you but I have to marry someone else."
