Arranged

Chapter 14

A few days pass by and I completely avoid Mit. I told myself to take things slowly yet here I am falling for my husband. During the day I would engross myself in family things. I was always around someone besides Mit. He's tried talking to me a couple of times but luckily one of our parents would call us and I would run away. When it came closer to the night I would run upstairs and go to bed before he even entered the room. Sometimes I hear someone coming up the stairs and like a gazelle I jump to the bed as fast as I can pretending to be knocked out. In the mornings I set my alarm earlier so I could avoid him. Usually, Mit stirs in his sleep but as I am so quick to respond to my alarm he goes back to sleep usually clutching onto my waist. Somehow I always manage to escape replacing me with a pillow. It's quite funny actually how he snuggles up to the pillow. It's actually also kind of cute how he thinks it's me. Today is the last day my parents and in laws are staying. I wake up early and get ready for breakfast. I cook a big meal for everyone as it is their last day in California. We make small talk with each other and everyone spoke on how much they were gonna miss Mit and I and this beautiful place. Mit assured them that we will visit soon and that this place is open anytime for them. Once breakfast was over everyone got their bags together and started heading towards the cars.
"Gina, it's best if you and Mit if you both don't come as we've already invaded your privacy." Tina spoke and everyone agreed to her.
"But mom let me at least drop you off-" Mit began but his mom cut him off gave him a big hug and gave me a big hug and went to go sit in the car. Everyone took their time to hug us and we took the blessings of everyone even stubborn Tina sitting in the car. They soon left and that was my cue to walk back in the house and occupy myself. I started to put the dishes away when I heard Mit behind me.
"I don't know why you're avoiding me" he said
"Me? I'm not avoiding you" I said not turning around. I can hear him moving closer. He's so close that I can feel his body heat on me. He puts his arms on my waist and turns me around. I was leaning on the sink while Mit was so close that our bodies were touching.
"You are avoiding me. Don't lie. I've noticed it the past couple of days. You started to avoid me every since I kissed you" he said
"That's not true" I said
"Oh really?" He said with a smirk
"Yeah" I said
"Then kiss me" he said. Well that took me off guard.
"Why?" I said
"So I know that's not the reason as to why your avoiding me" he said and I just look at him. It felt like we were having a staring contest as both of us were not about to back down.
"No, I'm not gonna kiss you on demand like that. I have work to do" I turn around and continue to do the dishes
"I hope you know we have maids to do that" he said.
"I know" I said and he walks out. About a minute later I hear someone coming in. Thinking it was Mit I turn around and yell "I DON'T WANT TO KISS YOU" I said
"Okay. I'm glad you don't" Nancy said. I was so embarrassed. I was turning red. I'm pretty sure wherever that man is he heard it too. I just walked out of the kitchen while Nancy was laughing. She's a smart woman, she probably knows what's going on. I walk upstairs and into my old room. I open the balcony doors and I just stand outside for a little while thinking about my life and how it's like. I hear the door open and close and I don't know who it is. I don't want to embarrass myself like last time so I just keep quite without turning around. I hear footsteps coming closer and someone standing beside me. I already know it's Mit. I can smell his cologne and it sure does smell heavenly. I love it when men smell good like that.
"Can I ask you something Gina" he said and I could feel that he was staring at me. I turn to look at him.
"Sure" I said
"Would you want to come with me to the Bahamas?" He said. I've always wanted to go but I don't know if I wanted to go with him.
" I don't know" I said.
"Well, I'll let you think about it." He said leaving. I go inside to my old room and just lay on my bed. Bahamas with Mit how nice would that be. While thinking about Mit I fell asleep. I woke up around 3ish so confused. It's only 3 in the afternoon. I get up and decide to jump in the pool to compete the lazy day. I pick out a cute black bikini and a coverup and I head downstairs. No sign of Mit so that must mean he's in his office upstairs. I grab a book from the library and I go sit outside. It was a beautiful day. I read my book until I got bored. I decide to jump in the pool. I never noticed how lonely it is now with my family leaving. I swim around for a little longer until I'm done for the day. I go upstairs with a towel wrapped around me. While I was walking upstairs I bumbed into Mit. He just looks at me up and down a few times.
"I'm gonna go take a shower" I said. He just nods and I walk past him. After my shower I come downstairs to see that Mit has a movie playing and his laptop on his lap. The doorbell rings and he goes to open it. He ordered pizza and breadsticks for the both of us. How considerate. We both eat silently while watching the movie. After the movie was over I got up to clean up and Mit helps me. It was already 11 pm and I was still feeling a little tired.
"I'm going to bed" I said.
"In our room, right?" He said with a smirk.
"Umm. I think I'm going back to my old room." I said
"Gina, you can still sleep in the same room as me. We are married but if you don't feel comfortable than I understand."
"I'm gonna sleep in my room" I said
"Goodnight babe" he said. He called me babe.
"G-goodnight Mit" I said and walk upstairs. Once upstairs I jump into my bed and fall asleep.
MIT POV
I love the effect I have on Gina. I head upstairs upset that she didn't want to sleep with me tonight because what she doesn't know is that this past week I've had the best sleep of my life. I'm so comfortable around her and I wish one day soon enough she'll be comfortable around me. Once I'm in my room I take my shirt off and change into sweatpants. I get into bed and fall asleep thinking about Gina.  When it was 3 in the morning I woke up not being able to sleep. I see my door knob turning and Gina in the sexiest nightgown ever. From what I could see it was really short and looked like satin. I look up at her face and she looks terrified. It looked like she'd been crying.
"Gina, what happened" I say getting up to go towards her. I turn the lamp on and cup her face.  She hugged me tightly crying. I hug her back with the same intensity she hugged me and we stayed there for quite some time. Holding her and protecting her from whatever that made her cry.
"Do you want to talk about it" I said. She shook her head no and I lead her to our bed. I tuck her in and as I go to take the couch she takes my hand.
"Stay. Don't leave me" she said. Her voice broke when she said that and in that moment I wanted to hug her and kiss her so bad. I put her through all of this and I can't do anything but say sorry hoping she'll forgive me.
"I will never leave you again." I said and climbed over to my side of the bed. She holds me tightly and I wrapped my arms around her trying to protect whatever tried to hurt my girl.

A/N super sorry it's super late. I'm finally a high school graduate! I've been crazy busy with college and school and soccer to even think about this book. I just don't know if I want to continue this book. I have major writer's block and I have no idea how to continue it. Also, I wrote the second part on my phone so if it looks weird I apologize.
