Fix It Marriage

Portrait

The next day, Aaron had asked me to come to his home. I don't know why, though, he was coming to get me.
He was back with his motorcycle.
" You bought it again? What happened to your car."
" You don't like it?"
" Aaron, I love motorcycle, specially the guy on it "
He gave a big darn smile.
" Come, sit."
" Where?"
He giggled.
" Where ever you want."
I sat behind him, holding him tight by his torso.
" Held me tight?"
" Yes "

We started riding towards his house.
He parked his bike down in his parking lot right next to his car.
" Elevator?"
" Aaron!"
" What? I asked."
" Ofcourse, elevator. "
He laughed. As we entered, he placed me against the mirror. He pinned my hands above my head by grabbing my wrists. His hand slided into my waist.
And then, he kissed me. Hard. Like he never wanted to let go of my lips.
" Aaron, the doors are going to open "
" I don't care."
" Are you planning on staying here? That's why you called me here, To make out in the elevator?"
" No, I want to show you something."
" What?"
" Patience darling."
" How I am supposed to see it if you are going to trap me here?"
" I am trapping you?"
" It's our second round."
He laughed.
" Fine I will show you."
" Come."
We got out of the elevator and he opened his door.
H
As I entered his home, I search for the thing he wanted to show me.
" Where is it? And what is it?"
I was very excited.
" Have patience darling."
" Tell me! What is it?"
" Okay, you won't wait, will you?"
" No show me "
" Close your eyes."
" Aaron!"
" Do you want to see it or not?"
" How can I see it with my eyes closed?"
" I won't show it then"
He started moving away.
" No, no, I am sorry, show me, look I closed my eyes."
I closed my waiting waiting for him to guide me.
I held my shoulder and we both started walking.
" No peeking." He said.
" Yes sir."
I heard him opening his bedroom door. And then, he opened my eyes.
" Aaron " my mouth remained open.
" Did you do this?"
" Yes"
" Aaron!" I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw my portrait on his bedroom wall, which he drew himself. Right next to his dreams.
" Aaron, how?"
" I , really like painting, I wanted to draw something I love."
" It's so beautiful."
" It's you." He looked at me with passion.
" I love you." I hugged him
" I love you more."
He phone started ringing. His phone was lying on the bed, I saw his dad's name on it.
" It's your dad, you should take it."
He looked down, his mood drifted.
" Here." I gave him his phone. He hesitated taking it.
" Aaron, take "
" Yeah, yeah."
He went aside to talk to him. While I walked around his room, looking at my portrait. I never thought someone could love me that much.
He came in after a while.
" What are you looking so keenly?"
" How can you love me so much?"
" It's easy, just look at you and I am devoted to you."
" Stop"
" Why?"
" Do you know why I placed this painting here?"
" Why?"
" So that I looked at it every second, the moment I wake up, till the time I go to sleep. I want to look at you."
I wrapped my hands around his neck.
" I don't know how to express, Aaron, you make me speechless."
" You can express it in bed, you know that?"
He smiled and then kissed me. He started taking steps forward, with me walking backwards flowing his lead.
He pulled a condom out of his drawer, and opened it with his mouth.
I pushed him till his bed. He laid down pulling me on him. He removed my top as I removed his shirt.
His doorbell rang.
" Fuck."
I laughed at his frown face.
" Go, open."
" No , they will go, we are not at home." He whispered to me.
" Aaron!"
I giggled.
" Stay silent."
His doorbell rang again.
" I think you should go--"
Now his cell phone was ringing.
" Take it "
I started getting dressed again , he was still lying on his bed.
" Aaron, take your phone, it's your dad."
" What again?"
" Aaron, I think he must be here, we should open."
I started walking out to open the door but he stopped me.
" Wait, I will go."
He rushed and went to open the door.
" Why did it take so long?"
" I didn't expect you here , now."
" I have Mr. Hudley with me, let's discuss the case."
" I can't right now--"
I came out hearing their voices.
" Hello Mr. Wesley, how are you?"
I smiled at his dad.
" That's why it took so long." His dad replied in not so good tone.
" Dad, not now " Aaron lowered his tone.
I stayed silent. I saw his lawyer with his dad.
" Are you Nina?" His lawyer asked me
" Yeah, hello, nice to meet you."
" What happened that day?" Mr. Hudley asked.
" Not now, I am a little busy, we can talk later " Aaron interrupted.
" Aaron, this is more important!" His dad demanded.
" Dad, not here "
" You should go." His dad ordered me.
" No, she is not going anywhere."
" No, Aaron, I guess it's important I will get going , I have no problem."
" Go." His father said.
" Dad, Don't take out my anger on her."
" Aaron, don't, I will go, it's personal, I understand."
I reassured him that I will be okay.
" Nina, you shouldn't go alone --"
His dad looked pissed off.
" No, I will go, it's fine." I walked to his door.
" I can't let you go alone, wait."
" No, Aaron, you talk to them, I will go safely, I promise."
" Nina--"
" Aaron, don't , I will go, I will text you okay?"
" Keep texting me okay."
" Yeah, don't worry okay ?"
" If you feel it's any danger, immediately call me okay, keep my number on speed dial."
" Aaron, don't worry, please go now."
" I am sorry for my dad."
" It's alright."
" Aaron come here." His dad shouted.
" Sorry." I apologised to his dad
" I will go."

I glanced at Aaron once before leaving and then I left. I had planned something with Jane. I asked her to pick me up. To be honest I was still scared to go alone with a stranger again. I told Aaron that I will be okay as he was with his dad, and it looked like he was pissed off. So I didn't ask him to drop me.

" Why did you behave like this with her?"
" Aaron, let's discuss."
" Dad, why did you tell her to go? You were so rude to her."
" We are having this meeting because of her."
" How many times I have to tell you that this wasn't her fault!"
" I don't want to argue with you right now okay."
" You can't talk to my girlfriend like that. You didn't even say hello to her."
" You don't teach me how to behave, we have guests."
" So? You were rude to her, she must have felt bad--"
" I don't care what she feels, I need to cover up what she has done. Now let's work. Mr. Hudley has arranged another date, he had to beg because of you, now let's end this "
" Mr. Wesley , it's alright, explain me everything what happened that day, if as you say that it was Melisa behind this , then you can start celebrating." Mr. Hudley said.
I glared at my dad.
" You shouldn't have done that." I couldn't let go of it.
" You don't fight with me right now."
" Didn't you hear him? This was Melisa, not her "
" Don't trust her so much, I don't want to see another runway bride."
" Dad!"
" Don't raise your voice on me. Let's work! It's more important! Do you understand me?"
" It will be better if you apologise to her."
" She should apologise to us."
" Don't!"
" Mr. Hudley, please have a seat, we shall begin." He ignored me.
