Married to my Enemy

Chapter 16

I stayed in bed for a while longer when I decided it was time I'd finally got up. I couldn't help but think of last night and how it had gone or could've gone if I complied.

I felt infuriated about how, whilst I'd slept with great difficulty thinking over and over everything that had happened that jerk slept with great ease as if it didn't bother him.

It bothered me, even more, when I saw Kohl beside me, head propped up on some pillows watching his phone with great amusement. Douchebag.

"Wait, what is it?" I asked Kohl when I couldn't stand him staring at his stupid phone any longer. That's when I saw that this guy had the nerve to have such a stupid and embarrassing picture of me. Oh my god. "Hand me your phone!" I practically shrieked. "Urm... how about no." He sniggered. "That was me, wasn't it? Where did you get that?!" "Uh-huh I love it, you look quite sexy." He laughed. I was just about to grab his phone off his hand when I lunged on top of him instead, straddling his waist as he laid calmly on our bed.

He looked taken aback by my actions. I was completely mortified but somehow, I managed to not show it. I was going to appear undefeated and I would get that phone off him, no matter what.

I grabbed at his phone and he stretched his hand with his phone over us, I reached for it and he'd taken this to his advantage when he placed his other hand on my waist, where my top had ridden up a little. My breath hitched with the movement of his hand. "Well isn't this a nice surprise. Good morning to you too, baby." He said in a super sleazy tone.

Just as I was trying to determine whether to keep at it with trying to get a hold of his phone or swat his hand which was dangerously moving upward into my sweatshirt. I chose my dignity.

"Get away, you creep!" I said as I slapped his hand away. He laughed as I pulled away. I turned back around in a fast motion and went in for the phone again and as if he knew, his palm was ready for my waist again. I jerked back. "Couldn't resist, could you?" He said with the smuggest look on his face.

I decided to give up, still angry about how chill he was about everything. I grabbed my phone and headed to the bathroom just when my phone buzzed against me. It was a notification from Kohl. I turned to look at him and he simply just winked at me. I looked back at my phone to open what he'd sent me and I saw it was a picture of me when I was younger. In the picture, I had my tongue out and looked extremely mischievous in my dirty-just-rolled-in-mud outfit.

When I'd come out of the bathroom, I hadn't seen Kohl. I was pretty exhausted from yesterday. Thinking of yesterday had me thinking of our moment last night as well. I shook the memory away. Today I would solely focus on making the house pretty for Kohl's mum and sister. I didn't have much else to do until I had to go back to college for the new semester, which was in a week. I still had time to prepare for that.

After an hour of arguing with the maid and finally getting her to agree to allow me to take up on some of the chores, the house looked spotless. I was pleased. I went over to the kitchen when Stella, one of the kitchens staff had asked if I'd wanted anything. I shook my head and sat over the counter to ask her what she was making and if she'd needed any help. She of course refused but I eventually got her to allow me to make something. It wasn't much but whilst she cooked a lavish meal, I made some truffles.

Just when I heard footsteps in the hallway, I ran out in my apron with my messy hands. My mother and sister in law looked astonished and laughed at my appearance. "Hi," we all said at once. "How was your trip?" I asked them as they both asked "How was the wedding?" we laughed. I waited a moment as they told me all about their trip and then I'd told them all about the wedding or about some of the wedding. I wasn't about to tell them about all the weird stuff that had happened between Kohl and me.

"You guys go freshen up and I'll finish up in the kitchen with Stella." They nodded.

The food was laid out and we'd all sat in our seats but Kohl wasn't here yet. I kept looking towards the door. "Dara, dear do you know where Kohl might be?" "I have no clue." "Hmm. We'll start eating soon but call him to just ask how long he's gonna be, okay?" "Sure." I didn't really wanna call him but I wasn't going to refuse my mother-in-law so I rang him. "Hey." "Hey, sweetheart." I coughed when Kohl's mum looked at me to question what he'd just said, I just shook my head. "Urm, mum was just asking how long you'd be?" "Mum, or you?" He teased. I completely ignored his remark, "Well?" "I'll be home late, don't wait up." He snickered. "Whatever," I muttered quietly. "Sure," I said for the audience in front of me. "Goodbye, my love" he'd said before he'd hung up.

Kohl's mum looked at me to say well? Kohl's sister had asked, "Can we eat then?" "He said he'd be home late." "Cool, let's dig in!" She had her cutlery ready to go, I just smiled and dug in too.
