His last minute bride

43

“June?” Don sounded equally surprised to see her. He gestured for me to stand up from his laps which I heeded to immediately and he did the same.

She stared at us both, an unreadable smile playing on her lips. “I see you two are attracted to each other.”

Don's brows were pulled to a deep frown. “What are you doing here?”

“Is that how to welcome someone you haven't seen for months.”

What was she doing here? Oh no, I really hoped she wasn't here to cause problem though she looked like that was her reason for the sudden arrival.

She wore a wine mid thigh off shoulder gown that showed off her curves and an indecent amount of her cleavage.

She had done her makeup similarly to how wealthy women in movies did their makeup. Her wine heels was as high as ever, it made me wonder how she could walk in those things.

“I’m happy June, I don't want you coming to ruin that.” He had that stern tone he only ever used when speaking to her.

“Trust me when I say I'm not here to ruin your marriage.” Although she had a smile on, I didn't want to believe her words.

“I'm not sure if I should trust you.”

“You should, do you seriously want to ruin a friendship of fifteen years so quickly.’

Fifteen years?! What?! They've known each other that long? How come Don never mentioned something like this?

“I'm serious when I say I don't want to come as a rift between you and Eri. I came back just to be friends again.” She tugged a strand of hair behind her ear.

Don squinted his eyes like he was trying to see through her if she was lying or not. Even I wanted to know that.

For some reason, I couldn't find myself believing her so quickly,

“Well, that's okay. Where were you all this while?” He sounded uninterested but obliged to ask.

Her smile was making me uneasy. “Well, after I left our wedding because you wouldn't return the love I had for you, I ran away with Jenny, my personal maid, to Dubai where I stayed all this while to get my composure.”

“So if you're correct, you no longer have feelings for me?” He also didn't seem like he wanted to believe her.

She nodded. “Those months away from you and seeing you with her,” the ‘her’ came out with not so much likeness, more like jealousy and that only made me more uneasy, “I realized I could no longer have you so I'm just going to move on and I want us to be friends again.”

“It's good you finally came to your senses.” He still maintained the stern expression.

She turned to me. “Eri, you know, I was so surprised to find out you two got married, it must've been nice for you.”

I had no idea what to say so I just feigned a smile.

“You know, Don and I had been friends for a long time and you seem to be a good girl, maybe we could be friends too.”

“Friends?” I doubt if this girl would actually want to be friends with me for real. Her presence was really discomforting.

“Yes, maybe we could go out and talk and just have fun. You do look like a pretty nice person to be with.” She walked towards me, placing a hand on mine which only left me in confusion.

Don seemed to have noticed my discomfort. “June—” he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone in his pocket.

He removed his phone from his pocket, answering the call and placing the phone close to his ear.

“Hello.” There was silence as he listened to whoever was on the other line, “that is why I expect you guys to use your brains,” silence, “gosh, how would you guys do anything without me.”

He furrowed his brows before hanging up, then turned from June to me.

“Eri, they need me at work, I have to go, okay?” He leaned closer to plant a peck on my cheek.

“June, it's nice you're back to your senses, hopefully it stays that way. Bye.”

“Bye.” June said.

We both stared at him as he sauntered out of the room, not saying a word.

As soon as he was out of sight, June pulled me by my arm, dragging me closer to her. Her obviously fake smile had turned to a deep frown that showed anger, jealousy and possessiveness.

“Hey listen Eri, Don's mine and mine alone.” She said.

Seriously? I knew this was what it'd turn out to and I have no time for drama.

I pulled apart from her. “Listen, I don't have time for your drama, I knew things were going to have this turn.”

“You should trust me when I tell you to leave this marriage on your own will before I force you to.” Her eyes were blimming in anger.

“June, I think you should actually go with your words and just accept your fate that you can never get Don.”

“I promise I won't let you enjoy this marriage, if I'd gotten married to Don he'd have fallen in love with me but you stopped that from happening.”

Her drama was giving me a headache. “Listen, I don't care about whatever you have to say, I just can't keep on talking to you else I might end up sick.”

She grabbed the collar of my dress which only infuriated me more. “Just back out now.”

She was being so childish and talking to her made me feel childish too. “I want you to know this, Don and I will stay together forever so just move on, okay?”

I pushed her hands off me. “And let this be the last time you come to my matrimonial home.” I pivoted, walking further away from her. “I think you should leave now because your presence only gives me a headache.”

“Eri, trust me and back out.” She said through gritted teeth while I just left her standing there.

I really hoped this girl would heed to my advise and leave me alone. I really don't want anyone to ruin my marriage with Don. I'd make sure she doesn't do that although she sounds determined to.
