Falling In Love With My Husband - Chapter 3
Sorry for the super long wait. I had a lot of things going on. First I was still teaching, and my students had their exams, so I was very busy then. After the holidays started I had to apply for universities and stuffs. Then a few other things popped up. These last 2 weeks were pretty depressing so I could get myself to write as well. I had to force myself to write this. So I hope it is not that bad. I will read through again and try to edit by the end of this week. I really hope that I can put up the next chapter by Friday as well. Sorry for the rant.

Recap :
Suddenly, I felt a shadow blocking my sunlight. Looking up from my book, I stared at the most gorgeous and fit body I ever saw. He had a body equivalent to that of a Greek god. A perfectly sculptured chest, with the right amount of muscles to look good. Not too much to look creepy, and too little to look like a scrawny fellow. And his eyes, they were a wonderful colour that seemed to drag you deep into a whirlpool.
“This beach is not a place for nerds like you.” He snarled.
Chapter 3 :
His tone brought a scowl on my face even before I registered the words that he said. I immediately jerked up on my feet and stood nose to nose with him. Well I kinda hoped that would have happened, but with me being the clumsy fool that I am, my foot got tangled in the towel bringing me back to the ground faster than I could say “AAA…..”.
This wonderful scene of mine only brought a roar of laughter from the boys in front of me. Hearing more than one person laughing, I looked behind the jerk to see that there were actually a few others with him. I cursed my stupid brain for not being more observant and for embarrassing myself in front of the hot guys. There were about six of them, and all of them looked like top models for a fashion magazine.
Slowly, I untangled myself from my towel and got up thinking of a nice comeback to their comment. Failing to come up with something, I looked right into the jerk’s eye and asked,
“ Does your dad own this beach? Unless he does, then this beach is for public use and I am definitely allowed here. Secondly, just because I chose to wear this and not a skimpy bikini that shows more skin than an elephant wearing an underwear and sit down here reading a book does not make me a nerd!” Of course, I very conveniently neglected the part that I would rather curl up in my room reading a book or studying than go out partying.
“Well…. It just so happens that my dad is halfway through the negotiation to buy the beach. So technically, it is almost owned by my dad,” the jerk said while smirking. Then, after pausing for a second, he scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. “But I am not sure how to respond to your expression about that elephant.”
“ Ouh. Well ……In that case, you have fun in the side of the beach that is almost owned by your dad, while I stay here in this part where it is not owned by your dad, until the whole beach is indeed owned by your dad!”
My sentence left everyone staring at me with a baffled look trying to understand what I just said.
I am not sure if the jerk understood what I said, but he left saying that he will be back when his dad owns the whole beach.
Having my mood being totally ruined by the jerk, I grabbed all my things and went back to the house. Since it was almost evening, I took my shower and went down to help my grandma with dinner. She was making roasted chicken with mashed potatoes. I was still bothered by the scene that happened at the beach, and was peeling the potatoes solemnly. My grandma noticing my expression came up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder.
“ Is everything alright dear? Are you upset that you have to spend 6 weeks with an old lady like me?”
From her tone, I knew that she was seriously wondering if I would be happy with her here.
“Oh, no grandma. I am very happy to be here. It’s just that a boy made fun of me earlier and I am still upset about it.”
“Don’t bother about what others say about you. The only thing that matters is what you think about yourself, and if you are honest to yourself. Nothing else matters.”
“I know grandma. But sometimes it just hurts. And what he said really hit close to home. Haizzz. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be okay by tomorrow.”
“Okay honey. Now finish peeling those faster. I am almost done with the chicken.”
After eating dinner, grandma and I watched television for a while and talked about other random things happening at my school. Soon, it was time to go to bed. My grandma always slept early and woke up early. One of our favourite things to do was to watch the sunrise together; that was how early we got up.
I said goodnight to my grandma and went up to my room. I logged on to Facebook to see if I had any notifications. Having a crazy loon for a friend really had its setbacks. I had 20 notifications, and it was all from Judy! She had spammed my timeline saying how much she missed me and how boring it was without me around. Just as I was about to log off, I had another notification that she posted on my timeline, AGAIN!
“You know how you kept saying that I should get over Peter Facinelli. Well, I just found a new boyfriend!!!!”
And before I could even finish reading this, another notification popped up.
“IT’S CHRIS HEMSWORTH!!!!! He looked so hot in Snow White and the Huntsmen!! **swoons**”
As I was still feeling a bit jet lagged and very down, I decided to reply to all her posts tomorrow. I logged off from my account, shut down the laptop and laid down on my bed. That night, I fell asleep with two voices whispering in my head.
“You don’t belong here.”
“This is no place for you.”
“You can never fit in here. This place is only for people like me, not useless people like you!”
“This beach is not a place for nerds like you.”
The last sentence was from the jerk today, but the first 3 comments were from the figure from my past. A voice and image that I wanted to clear from my memory. A face, that I detested with all my soul and never wanted to see again.
I know its short, but please don’t get mad. I really tried my best. Please comment and vote! J
** I spent the last few days reading a bunch of stories on wattpad, and I think you should really check out these:
1) The shy girl has a gun – makeandoffer
2) I’m dead and he’s a jerk – makeandoffer
The two stories are very nice and “The shy girl has a gun” has a lot of action. Do check them out.
