My Only Love

Chapter Eighteen

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

>>> At the Bar

"You know Alyssa, if I were you...I will stop chasing Lowell," Andrew said as he attended his friend's birthday party and Alyssa was also invited. "He's married. And he will never come back to you." He added, took a sip of his beer.

"You know...you are such a good friend." Alyssa irritated said to him.

Andrew laughed.

"Andrew, please be honest..." Alyssa looked straight to his eye. "Jake told me that the wedding was arrange in three months, Lowell's mom rush the wedding. But Catrin is not pregnant. Why do they have to rush things if they only have months of dating or months of being girlfriend-boyfriend?"

Andrew paused. He didn't know that their friend wondered on the sudden wedding. And yes, it was a bit rush. His aunt intentionally rushed the wedding as she learned that Alyssa will be away for about five months. To be honest, his aunt is afraid that Alyssa might do something to destroy the relationship of her son and Catrin. She really loves Catrin and wanted her to be officially part of their family.

"Do you believe in arrange-marriage or contract marriage?" Andrew said, instead, the alcohol already into him.

"ummmn, there are some who do that, yeah..." Alyssa uttered. "Why did you asked?"

"Do you believe that these arrange-marriage couple will eventually fall onto each other?" Andrew asked again.

"Maybe," she said. Then stopped from drinking her tequila and seriously looked at Andrew. "Wait?"

Andrew was supposed to leave when Alyssa grabbed his arm.

"Don't tell me, it was just an arranged-marriage?" Alyssa snorted out. "Lowell and Catrin's wedding is a fake?" her voice toned-high a bit.

Andrew startled. He gently pulled her out of the bar, up to the parking lot. "What do want?!" he furiously said.

"You know what I want?!" Alyssa shouted.

He exhaled furiously. "What if I say 'yes'?! What are you going to do?" he mocked.

"Did Aunt Eunice know this?" Alyssa asked instead.

"Alyssa!" he shouted.

"So, Aunt Eunice is not aware of this. His parents or their parents are not aware of this, right?" Alyssa uttered, making clear assumptions.

Andrew desperately brushed his hair with his fingers and looked up onto the sky. What the hell I've done?!

"I'm begging you, Alyssa. Please do not ruin their marriage. They love each other, believe me," He begged.

Alyssa mockingly smiled. "I know Lowell still inlove with me. He's only doing this to make me jealous. I already broke up with my fiancé. I am free now. I swear...I did regret the break-up with Lowell." She said.

"You're too late, Alyssa. Can't you see?" Andrew muttered, still trying to make her understand the situation.

"You are wrong. Lowell is mine." Alyssa affirmed then left him.

Shit! Andrew drastically punches the front door of his car. Lowell will surely be mad on me!

"I'm coming!" Catrin shouted as she rushing downstairs, someone is buzzing at the gate, nonstop. " Alyssa?" she stopped when she saw who was the unexpected visitor.

"Are you not going to let me in?" Alyssa muttered. She was in her always classy dress with two inches stilletos and hand bag. She look stunning as always, to Catrin's thought and sighed.
