A Marriage without Love

The party

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I saw I was in Ethan's room. I thought it was some nightmare but unfortunately it was real.

I could feel someone breath on my neck and an arm wrapped around me. What the hell!!

I turned my face to the right only to meet with Ethan's. That guy really can't keep his hands to himself.

I tried to unwrap myself from him but it was in vain. His grip only tightened around me.

"Ethan, let go of me!" I squirmed.

No answer.

"Ethan?"
No answer.

I tried pushing him away but he pulled me more to him.

"Ethan, let go"

"Stop moving. You smell good." Finally the devil talked.

"Let go of me or I'll.." I looked around to find something that can help me out. Fortunately, I saw a glass of water on the side table. I just need to grab it but it was too far to reach. I wriggle in his arms trying to grab the glass. If only my hands were a little bit longer.

"I said stop moving! You are turning me on!" I stopped my motions as soon as these words left his mouth. He smiled and pulled me closer as if possible. His eyes still closed. I thought he was kidding but when I felt something poking me in the stomach, I knew I need to get out of here right now.

I tried to reach the glass once again. When finally I grabbed it, I found myself pinned on the bed with Ethan's body pressing into me making me spill all the water on his face.

"Damn Bitch!" He cursed and got off me.

"And you're are an asshole for not letting me go." I yelled at him.

He glared at me and stormed into the bathroom. I went into my old room, brushed my teeth and went into the kitchen to help Ma with the breakfast before going to college.

"So how is your acting going?" Camila asked. We were sitting on the bench and I was waiting for the driver to come and fetch me as Camila has other classes.

"Not really great. Mr. Mackenzie is suspicious about our relationship." I answered.

"So what's the plan?"

"No plan"

"Now this is bad"

"Yeah, I know but we are trying to handle it." I grabbed my bag as I saw a white car entering the yard.

"Okay take care, Tia. Phone me if you need me."

"Yeah, thank you Mila." I gave her a hug.

"Bye" I pulled away and climbed into the car.

I was lying on the sofa in the living room while reading some book when Ethan's parents entered the house. I sat up immediately.

"Hey sweety!"

"Hi mom and... dad" Is it that difficult to say 'dad'?

"Are you going with Ethan to Kendall's birthday party?" Leila asked.

"Ugh.. Who is Kendall?" I asked trying to remember if there is any relatives or friends named Kendall.

"Kendall Cooper?" Leila replied.

"Oh... ugh no I'm not going." I said still not knowing who is that Kendall and I'm not invited to the party so I guess I'm not going.

"Ethan haven't you told your wife about the party? It will be the perfect occasion to remind the media about your relationship cause they are still believing you are a bachelor. It's been six months you both haven't gone in front of the camera." Xavier told Ethan who was nicely dressed for the party.
