RECAP
"Oh, my god! He went to Jared's!?"
"Shut the fuck up and leave. I don't want Odair smell mess up my once nice couch." I stuck my tongue out and proceeded to go upstairs. Finnick didn't move at all. He just sat there with a blank look. I don't care. He ruined my life in 9th grade and now my mom wants me to marry him!? That's crazy! She was on MY side when I told her about Finnick calling me emo and messing up my self esteem and self confidence.
These are the times I wish my dad wasn't serving in the military. I always worry that he's not gonna come back. Austin understands because his dad's also in the military. I guess that's one of the reasons why we're perfect for each other.
I was half way up the stairs when I stopped. I decided that I need warm hugs of comfort that only my mom and Austin can give. Finnick thought I was coming for him. I saw his face brighten up. He got real angry when I turned to go to the kitchen.
Man, I wish I never wanted those warm hugs of comfort. Austin and Mom are going at it like two angry dogs. Austin's yelling at my mom for not letting me decide what I really want. Mom is yelling at Austin about Finnick begged her to set up the arranged marriage. They were barking like dogs, or any animal for that matter. Austin's expression changed when he saw me, tears walking down the red carpet that is my face.
END OF RECAP (a/n: I don't know why I do this. I practically written a chapter everyday.)
My hand returns to my wrist, pulling it back, letting it go, pulling it back, and letting it go over and over again until Austin stops me. He looks at me with a new look. It's the classic 'Me and your mom are fighting about who you should marry. Me, being our boyfriend and all, is fighting on your side. Now it would be for the best if you didn't hurt your wrist at this moment. Your mom is already pissed enough.' Awkwardly, I've seen this look before. But that's another story.
"Zuri, please go back over to Finnick," Austin whispered. Aloud he said, "Man, I never thought I would those 7 words together in a sentence."
"What did you say?" Mom over-protectively questions. Dear God, she'll be the one at my wedding saying I'm not ready 5 seconds before I walk down the isle.
"It's nothing big...." Austin's voice goes silent.
"Hey, emo bastard!" Finnick yelled from the couch. "That's my fiancee your talking to! So, you better be nice to her!"
"Hey, dick!" Austin yelled back. "Go stalk someone else's finacee! We all know that you begged Mrs. Lynn here to have this arranged marriage!"
Finnick didn't yell back. I looked at my once beautiful couch. He's.... blushing!? Why is he blushing? If anyone should be blushing, it should be me! I'm being forced to marry a guy who hates me because I didn't tell him I had a boyfriend. Plus, I have a finace already. Austin <3.
"Just go back to Finnick," Austin whispers again. "Another 5 words I thought I never say. If he hurts you, I will hurt him, O.K.?"
"O.K.," I respond as I walk over to the couch with a depressed look on my face. The last thing I wanna do is sit next to *shudders* him. But when I sit down, I sit on the other side of the couch. I hate that Finnick slides from his side to my side. I get up and sit in the arm chair in the corner of the room. I grab my eReader and start reading it, waiting for my mom and Austin to stop fighting. I'm waiting for my answer. I'm waiting to see if I'm marrying the man of my dreams or the man of my nightmares. My life's gonna suck if it's the man of my nightmares.
Finally, after what seems like forever, Austin comes out. I quickly turn off what I'm reading and set it on the table. Austin comes over, kneels next to me, and looks up at me with his adorable bambi eyes.
"Well?" I asked with a smile on my face.
