love through you

chapter 11

His heart beat felt like it wanted to blast any moment. He heard from Albert that Angie just came home from England but didn’t waste any time, called out a board meeting. He was expecting Angie would be brutal to him when they get to see each other but instead, when he saw her, she looked so pure, no anger or anything in her eyes. She looked the same but more radiant and seems so sweet. She smells great too. He missed her. He waited for her response, but he got nothing. She started to cut a little steak that he did and eat it.
“Is it good?” though he’s been asking her the whole time they’re eating, he did not receive any answer from her. She doesn’t look angry or got any ill grudge to him. Brad really tried anything for them just to talk but she was so quiet the whole time. He started to take his food. That’s how they are almost 30 minutes in the dining table, eating and never talking.
Angie placed the glass of water slowly at the table near her plate, she did not drink it fully. Brad ended his. “You’re done? We can talk now.” Angie told him. “I want to get the management from you, but Sam told me I have to marry you and by marrying you, I had to stay married to you for a year after I can legally have owned it.” He looks at Angie. Her eyes turn cold, there was no emotion from it. “Did the two of you talked?” She asked. He nodded. “Ah! So, you both planned to box me.” He knows that they will come up at this situation where Angie will hate him, but he is still hoping Angie will change her mind. “Don’t think that way. He wanted the company to be secure and He doesn’t want you to live alone.” Brad pour a little wine in his glass is sipped it. “Alright! So, we’ll get married then but in one condition.” He raised his vision to Angie and waited on whatever her condition is. “We should never consummate our marriage.” He wanted to laugh with sarcasm, but he controlled himself. “Why would I agree with your terms?” He points his finger in her arm and smile. “You NEED the company, so, I don’t have to deal with your terms. But instead, let’s talk about my terms.” He smiled seductively and moved his chair a little more next to Angie.
“What?!” She exclaimed. “Why? You don’t want to hear my terms? Then, stay away from me. And by the way, you can never have the company.” He started the stay calm, he is enjoying watching Angie’s reaction. He wonders, what will be like to have a daughter or son in the future, as stubborn as her. He was about to stand up when Angie reached his arms, he sat again. “Alright. What’s your terms?”. It was not a question but rather a suggestion that he needed to lay down his plans.

“Good.” He started to look at her seductively again. He knows by doing that Angie is annoyed. “First, we’ll get married. You choose what country you like to go for our honeymoon. Be a real loving wife to me, take some cooking lessons, and give me a child.” His sit straight when Angie bang her hands on the table. “What the hell Brad?!” He smiles adoringly to Angie. “Why is that too much to ask?” Angie stood up from her chair and looks at him sharply as if she wanted to kill him right at that moment. “Are you out of your mind? You want me to ̶” She turned around from Brad and comb her hair with exasperation and breathe deeply. “Boy or girl can do. But I heard you got twins in your family.” She turned to him annoyingly. “Okay. Let’s be clear in this. I won’t give my child a broken family—” Brad interrupted her. “Then, let’s not break it up.” Angie searched for her bag and gets it. “This is insane Brad. I’ll leave now. This conversation is nothing but a garbage.” Angie tried to walk out of the house as fast as she can, she heard him say the last words that he had. “I won’t marry you unless you propose to me…” He stood up grinning at her. “And by the way, your proposal should be on my bed.”

“The hell with that guy! Imagine he told me that he won’t marry me until we slept together! What the hell was that?!” She complained to Sam. She drove right away to Sam’s house in New Mexico. Good thing she has this little bar that she could spend there, drinking. “hey calm down. Why are you so mad? It’s not as if he’s your first.” Her eyes became a little more squinty. “He wants a child from me! A child Sam!” They almost spend a two hour conversation in the Bar for that very reason. Samantha realized that her friend is already sleeping at the counter. “Goodness. Ange…Ange.” She got up her phone and called someone.

“Is she fine?” Sam raised her head in amazement. “Wow, your fast! Yes, please take care of my friend I’m late for my date.” Brad tried to wake Angie up, almost 5 minutes until she wakes up. “Okay, I hope she’s fine now. And next time, don’t shock her okay?” He heard Sam chuckles and goes out the bar. “By the way, just leave, I have my people downstairs.” He tried to carry Angie but she won’t let him, until she lost balance. She got no strength to hold on him as she is drunk, Brad holds her freely. His back accidentally pinched on the counter, holding her freely. Angie’s body against his. “Hmm..hey” She said, having a squinty eyes, trying to see who is the one who’s holding her whole body. “Brad? The hell! What the hell’s my husband doing here?” She’s drunk, he is now sure about it but he smiled anyway. She moved her one hand from Brad’s little stubbles in his face down to his chest while her other hand is already positioned in his chest. She bit her lips. “Don’t do that, I might not be able to control myself.” He said huskily. She laughed. She moved her face near his face, inches away from his face. She tried to tease him by touching his face from her fingers and moving her lips to his, not a kiss, but just touching, she started to talk seductively. “No need to control yourself honey…” She cupped Brad’s cape and kiss him. It was gentle at first but then Brad started to change where his hands are. His one hands move to her rib cage, embracing her fully while the other is on her neck.
“Let’s go home.” He whispers.
