Aranged Marriage

IIII

In the morning i woke up earlier, but to the same annoying blaring alarm clock. I got ready before heading downstairs to see Jake in a suite once again.

"Hey are you ready?" Jake asks.

I just nod and grab my lunch pale and bag on the way to the car.

"I am sorry about yesterday. I did not mean to come back that late." Jake says.

"Yeah what ever."

I look out the window trying to keep my nutural look mask.

"Anny i mean..." Jake says.

"You can stop here. I bet you have better things to do than drop me off."

He pulls over before stopping the car and locks the doors.

"Anny i am sorry about yesterday like i said. You have to understand i work and i have been working since age 15. I just lost track of time. I did not mean to..." Jake says.

At this point my mask breaks completely and I snap loosing the power, or maybe will, of holding my tongue.

"Oh you saying did not mean to forget to tell me you are working late or even message me back. I get i said you look old, but i apologized not realizing. I never ment to hurt you for you to not message me back and to forget to pick me up or to send a car for me. Then to top it all off forgwt to tell me you are working late. Like we are not going to be married in less than a week. Just let me out and go do your so much more important work!"

I knew when dad said I was to be weded to Jake in a week my life as me was over and sooner or later I would be like my mom (no real freedom and more like an obeyant house wife).

He grabs my hand.

"Anny please look at me." Jake says.

I look at him while holding back my tears.

Why am i feeling like this is the end and like we are on a roller coaster of a realationship? We barely know each other and have litterly been together for 3 days including times we were not litterally next to eachother precence. Why does it feel like those feelings have blossomed over night? Is it caused by seeing Jake almost naked or a combination or nothing at all making it all in my head?

"Anny i am not mad at you for calling me old. And i did not loose track of time on purpose. You are going to be my wife then later on the mother of our kids. I promise i will work on shortering my hours and inform you of any changes." Jake says.

He looks into my eyes and when I nod he smiles. Soon he pulls back onto the road and we start heading to my school. When he pulls over again to let me out in front I get out of his car before heading to my first period.

Classe seem to go by a little bit faster than the last half of school yesterday until it was lunch.

At lunch

I walk to the tree I sat under yesterday and I take my phone out of my backpack making the screen light up. As i see 5 textes from Jake I feel my face forming a smile.
