Villains Fated Lovers

Chapter 4: Grace

"Go to bed Grace. It's been a long day" My mother said. Ohhh trust me it had been and I honestly had fun making Bella that nervous. I always thought that Bella was a bitch but no she's actually a duck. Now I know. She talks like a duck, walks like a duck. Honestly I don't even know because she's always so annoying. Calling her a bitch or a duck is disrespect to them. "Grace, How was your day?" My father asked me and I nodded. "It was great dad". "I told you that you will enjoy" Only if he knew how I actually enjoyed. He'll be pissed at me. I always thought that the Afifys were all arrogant but no it's just Bella. Everyone else are such sweethearts. Especially her little bother Millo. He's a sweet kid but unluckily her sister is always a bitch.

I went up to my room and went to sit in front of the mirror putting on some music. You know what I need... I need to take some selfies. I stricked a pose looking at my reflection. I'm not that beautiful but the fact that I was able to make Bella nervous like that is just hilarious. I opened my phone and took some pics. What the heck is this. They don't look like the ones the photographer takes. Why is my nose so huge and why are there spots on my face. I'm not that pretty but my face doesn't look like it does on the mirror than in the camera. I look like a ghost. Is it the lighting?

I see a notification popping on my phone and when I looked at it my heart skipped a beat. It was Xander.

XANDER: Grace I was thinking if you agree with this engagement? We can call it off if you don't like me.

What the heck is he thinking. I don't wanna call off the engagement. Even if I did I wouldn't now. Bella is jealous of something I have so hell no.

GRACE: Why Xander. I don't wanna call it off. I like you.

I started to vibe with the music. Primadonna by Marina always makes me feel better.

XANDER: Really?

GRACE: Of course Xander. Besides our families are happy with us being together.

XANDER: So your doing this for your parents?

His respond made me think. I do a lot of things for my parent's happiness but getting married? I did told my parents that I didn't wanted to get engaged in such a young age but talking to Xander and looking at him changed my mind and I even told my parents that I was fine with this setting. I guess I wasn't actually doing this for my parents. I was doing this for myself.

GRACE: Typing...

XANDER: If you don't want to then I'll talk to our parents.

GRACE: No Xander. I don't know you yet and I won't let go of you till I know that I won't be happy with you.

I saw how the typing button popped up multiple times and then disappeared again. I don't know why but that also made me smile.

XANDER: I'm glad, Grace because I really like you.

...

Three months later we were still talking on calls and texting a lot. Whenever we met in parties both of us would stick together chatting and laughing. Our parents were happy that we got along. I owe big time to the type of music I was listening to that night. Music can really make a difference to how we react. Good thing that I was mostly listening to love songs or else I know for sure that I would have told Xander to go with the plan of talking to our parents. Slowly I started to like Xander too. He already told me that he liked me so it was all such a big win win for me.

...

"Goodbye ma'am Jacky". I say as madam Jacky stood up and smiled at me. We were sitting in the study room. I always came here to study when she came to teach me. Focusing on my work I don't actually pay attention to anything else around me. I looked up to see madam Jacky smiling at me then she looked behind me with the same smile. I got confused and looked back and saw Xander. Ohhh god. Xander's here. I jumped up and hugged him as he hugged me back.
