The Excited Bride

Chapter 5

Tofer

It’s only five in the morning when I got at the airport and I feel groggy today because my friends force me to stay until midnight partying with them.

 I send Lauren a message informing that I’m already here. I sat at the waiting area and do some stretching. Fortunately there are only few people here at the airport.

“Too early huh” Lauren said when she came near me.

I shrugged. “The early bird catches a good worm” I said and get her suitcase.

“Crazy” she said and laughed.

“By the way, it’s the first day of you training” I said as we headed to the parking lot. “What training?” she asked and we both enter inside the car.

“Training for becoming a good wife”

“Okay, so what’s the first thing you will teach me?”

“To do the chores” I said and smiled.

“Can we just skip that thing? There’s more important than that, like how to handle relationships properly, how not to be clingy and what would I say if we meet again.” She enumerated.

“The word bride came from the root word brū- which means to cook” I told her “So it’s really necessary to learn that thing” I continued as I started driving.

 I saw her eyes rolled.

“You talk like my mom” she said and sigh for defeat.

“Because mom knows best, you should start listening to your mom”

She just nods.

“Does she know about our deal?” I asked.

Her eyes were close as I glance at her. Since the stoplight is still at red light I looked at her once again. She’s really beautiful. I can spend the whole day just staring at her beautiful face. Though I met a lot of women and mostly models she’s still different.

“No they don’t” she said. I almost jolt from my sit but I still manage to smile when she look at me.

“Good” I said casually.

“You want me to tell it to them? They’ll definitely freak out” she paused and check my reaction “Just kidding, they might thanked you for doing that” she said bluntly.

“Do you want to have a sleep first?” I asked changing the subject. “We can just start your ‘training’ by tomorrow”

“No it’s alright we better start today besides I get enough sleep last night. And we might took forever of teaching me how to cook” she joked. “You better prepare yourself” she said and chuckle.

“I’m always prepared” I said with confidence. “We’ll see” she replied as if challenging me.

I stopped the car in front of our house.

“Is that your house? I thought you’ll teach me at my house”

“Your mom will surely know our deal or they might mistakenly think of me as your boyfriend” I kidded. We get off the car and went inside the house, I found my mom sitting at the coach looking something at her bag.

“Hey mom, are you going out?” I asked her and kiss on the cheek, still searching something at her bag.

“Yes, Monique throws a party at her new house” she said and finally faced me. She was amused when she saw Lauren. “Oh hi, you didn’t tell me you brought your girl” she stood up as Lauren introduce herself politely and so as my mom.
