YOURS

11

I was reading in my living room, by the window just like I used too. I made my mind to just go with whatever is happening around me and don't fight anymore, yesterday I had an amazing afternoon with Raymond, I feel less alone, having him as a friend made me feel nice once again. Someone enters the room, but I kept reading.

"Morning my love" I hear Jonathan voice. Now as for this one, is going to be difficult to get used to. I pretend he's not here. "Really?" he walks towards me and put his finger in my book and pushed down. 

"What?" I look up

"Where did you go yesterday?"

"Not your business" I pull my book up again

"It kind of is, now that you are officially my future wife" he takes the book out of my hands.

I stand up mad. "Look, you can say and lie to whoever you want out there, but here, you are nothing to me, I decided to make peace with this" I pointed to both of us. "But I will never love you, so you can drop the act" I walk towards the door, but he grabs my arm.

"Act? Emilia, I love you, even if you forgot about me and went to be with another man"

I laughed; I turn around to face him. "I don't know what you did while I was gone that you got my parents thinking you are a prince of shining armor, the good guy, that make them own you something, but you got what you wanted, you should be happy" I take my arm out of his grasp. "I really want to understand what is the definition of love in your head, really, because all you done is make me miserable" I walk out to my room.

After a couple hours of just reading in my room, I heard a knock on my door and my mother come in.

"Come on we are heading out" she orders

"Where?"

"I know you don't want this wedding and I'm not planning on making you love it, but at least come and pick some of the things with me"

"Mother, really?" I say bothered

 "The truth is, you were gone for so long, I really just want your company"

                                                                         ***

We were at a winery just choosing the best type of wine, I have tasted at least 10 and I'm feeling funny already, my mother is making all the decisions from the type of colors, food and etc. she has asked me a couple things, but she know how i feel about it, so she doesn't pressure me. Then I see Steven outside talking to a couple next street from the store I was.

"Mother, I'm heading out, it has been fun but I'm tired"

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I need to talk to detective Robrick about something" she looked worried "Mother I will be fine"

"Fine, but after that, straight home"

"yes" I literally run outside towards Steven. "detective" i called him

"thanks" he said to the couple he was speaking. "yes Miss Emilia" he said not looking at me

"Well last time we spoke you left abruptly; we didn't get to finish"

"I think there's nothing else to talk, don't you have to be like preparing for a wedding?" he started walking 

"wait" I walked faster and stopped in front of him. "I don't know if you know, but I don't want this wedding"

"yes, I forgot you love bennet"

"ok, I don't understand your tone of voice, why you are so mad?"

"you really don't have a clue? anyhow we don't have any more themes to talk about, i already close your sister case, I'm working on another one and you and me are not friends, so you can now go and live your life as usual and forget about me" he moves aside me and kept walking
