Perfect Mistake

Chapter 5

Skittles dropped me off at my house and told me that Raphael will be there in about an hour. I sat on the porch swing and used that time to think of how I'll tell my parents about the whole issue. This is crazy! This whole thing is insane! Why me? Why not another person? Why ME???

I was still thinking about it when I heard a car engine. I looked up and saw it was Raphael. He got down and made his way to the porch.

  "Hi" I said

  "Yeah, hi" he replied

  "What are we gonna tell them?" I asked him, without looking at him

  "I really don't know" he sighed. "I mean, they're you're parents. Tell them something they will believe"

  "Okay then, here goes nothing" I said as I got down from the swing and went to the door. I opened it and stepped in, with Raphael following closely behind. Then I saw Penny and Peter having dinner with my parents.

"Hey guys" I said to them

"Hey chikito!" My dad said, smiling at me. It wasn't until then that I noticed Raphael's hand around my waist. I guess he was trying to put on a little show for them so they night believe what I was about to tell them.

"Uhmm guys, this is my boyfriend, Raphael" I almost chocked at the word 'boyfriend'. Penny started to choke in her lasagna and Peter patted her back, trying to calm her down.

"Your boyfriend huh? How cone I don't know about him?" Penny demanded. I knew she didn't believe me so I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Uh dad?" I called in my most adorable voice. You know... The one we use on our parents when we really want something? Yeah that one. I used it

"Yeah chikito?"

"I want to ask you something"

"Go on"

"Well Raphael and I have known each other for quite sometime now and we kind of got..." I trailed off. I knew if I told them about the marriage, I'll be stuck with him forever because they're not fans of divorces.

"Ermm.. I thought maybe I it would be okay if I moved in with him" I said instead. There was no way I'm telling them about the marriage.

"Oh that's okay love. You can go" my dad said "Or what do you think Beth?" He asked my mum

"I have no problem with it" she also said

"WHAT???" Penny yelled "you're really gonna let her go and live with a guy she's not married to?" She asked them in disbelief. I chuckled to myself. She has no idea what's happening.

"Calm down Penny. She's eighteen already" my mum told her. Penny shot me a look that meant this is not over but I ignored her and dragged Raphael upstairs to my bedroom, packed my things and went back down. I didn't want to see Penny again do I ran to the door and yelled

"Bye dad! Bye Mum!"

"Bye Chikito!" They chorused

As soon as we got into his car,Raphael burst out laughing. He laughed so hard tears started forming in his eyes.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked him

"Because. What does your dad call you again?"

"Chikito?" I said and he burst out laughing again. I smacked his arm and he glared at me. He started his car, and started driving back to "our house"

******************

We got to his house and he showed me my new room which was connected with his bedroom and left me there. The situation was like 'I-hate-you-but-let's-pretend-I-dont'.

I sat on the huge white bed in the middle of the room then I decided to go shower. I had to use his shampoo because I didn't bring mine and he had no girl shampoo. I wrapped one of the fluffy towels around my body and went into my room. Then I dressed how I normally dress to fall asleep, a crop top and short shorts. I found out I didn't bring my short shorts and I didn't want to sleep in jeans so I opened the closet in hope to find something and I found a huge red shirt with "LEGEND" written across the chest in black. I put it on and got out of the room in search of a snack.

" What are you doing?" A voice asked from behind me

"Mac and cheese" I answered

"Why are you wearing my shirt?"

"I didnt bring my pj's"

"Oh.. I guess you can have it then"

"Raphael?"

"Yes Aria?" He answered

"I know you're supposed to be civil with me but you can quit the act when were alone. You being all nice is weird. We already have to pretend to be married in front of people but we can do what we like when its just us"  I said

"Okay then. Since we're supposed to be normal. I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time. I always thought you had chicken legs. I actually used to call you chicken legs before I knew your actual name. But I guess I was wrong." He smirked "you definitely do not have chicken legs "he finished as his eyes skimmed down my legs

"Ermm thanks?" I said as I poured myself a bowl of Mac and cheese.

"Anytime wifey" he said as he grabbed the bowl and headed for his room.

I shook my head at his childishness. He could have just asked for a bowl. I couldve given him. But noooo he took it like it was his. But then, it was kinda cute. And he called me wifey. Ugh! I'm not supposed to be happy. But still, I felt giddy. I just smiled and poured myself another bowl and headed to my own room for the night. Tomorrow is a school day and also the beginning of our act as husband and wife. I am soooo not looking forward to this.
