I'm Yours

Ophelia

I was going to be meeting Blair today for breakfast.

I got ready and left. When I entered bakes n cakes cafe,I saw Blair sitting on one of the tables. I walked towards her slowly. She had yet to notice me. I went from behind and whispered in her ear"Boo."

She almost jumped 1 feet above. I bursted out laughing. "You arse " she cursed me.

"You love me ." I said with a teasing smile.
She replied with a whatever.

We took our seat.

"There's something I need to tell you" I said as we ordered our breakfast.

"I'm going to get married " I told her waiting for her reaction.

"I'm sorry I think I heard you wrong. Did you just say your getting married?" She asked me in disbelief.

" You heard correct." I said pursing my lips together.

" When was this decided?, Why am I hearing about this now?, with who?,when?" she fired me with questions.

"First, it was decided yesterday,
Second,it's an arranged marriage,
Third I'm going to marry Damien Black
Fourth,even I don't know when the wedding will happen" I told her

"Damien Black, the cold ruthless ceo." Blair said with pause between each word.

I just nodded. I then explained to her  that I'm doing this for papa and everything.

As I was talking to her when I got a message I went to check who it was.

It was Damien.

"Hi this is Damien, if your free today we can meet at Bluehouse at 7 to discuss all the wedding stuff." This was his message.

"Who is it ?" Blair asked me.

"Damien "I said while showing her the text.

"So will you go ?"she asked me.
"Ofcourse I have to,I can't ignore him, I'll be marrying him who knows when. This way I get to know what kind of a man he truly is ." I told her.
"Good luck" she said.
"Thanks " I told her.

We finished our breakfast. I left to go the my firm and Blair went to her workshop. Blair was one of the top fashion designer. She has a fashion show in a month. Most of my clothes were designed by her.

As my day went by I had to get ready to meet Damien.

I went home had a shower and selected my outfit.
I wore a blue top and a black skirt.

I took my purse and kept my keys and phone in it. I got in the car and drove to the restaurant.

I reached and went to the receptionist. "Table for Damien Black." I told her. She guided me to the table. I noticed that Damien had already arrived. He was looking good in his black suit. As I approached the table he stood up to greet me.

"Miss Parker. Nice to meet you." He spoke so formally. We shook hands and I replied "Just Ophelia. And nice to meet you too Mr Black"
" Just Damien" he Said with a straight face.

We took sour seats. A waitress came to take our order. "What would you like to order ?"she asked us. She was not like the other waitresses to throw themselves at him.
"A lasagna " he said closing the menu.
I said "Carbonara pasta for me"

"And anything to drink?" She asked us.
I just ordered a water and so did he.
When the waitress left Damien looked towards me and asked "Any reason your drinking water?".
" I have to drive back home " I replied.

"Why did you decide to marry me ?"he questioned me suddenly.
"For my papa" I stated.

Our food had been served to us.

"Listen, I'm marrying you just for my business. Don't expect a relationship out of me I don't have time for all of this. I mind my business and you mind yours. If you want you can date whoever you want but don't get caught by paparazzi. And we have to attend events together as a couple." He stated.

So he was a fully business minded guy. I don't know what I expected. I just agreed and gave a fake smile.

"So when we going to get married?" I asked him.
"Well my grandfather suggested 2 things- we get married immediately or we wait for one year and then get married but you have to move in with me." He explained.

"We should wait one year." I answered.
"Okay so when do you want to move in ?"he asked. "How about this weekend?" I suggested.

" Message me your address and I'll send  someone to pick up your things." He told me. " Okay. And I think we should get engaged next month." I admitted.

We discussed further details. He insisted that he paid the bill  then we bid goodbye and got in our respective cars.

While driving back home I thought about my marriage. Will it always be a loveless one or if it will turn into something more.
When I got home I messaged him my address and got fresh. I got everything ready for tomorrow and went to sleep.
