Forced Into Marriage ✓

Chapter 5

I've been watching movies while laying on the couch and eating my favourite Ben & Jerry's chocolate ice cream. The last movie named Titanic made me cry because it was so sad.
It was so sad to see Jack die. He'd given Rose the best memories,even though he himself had become a memory to her.

Andrea came to visit me an hour later like she said. Then we decided to go out for a nice walk.

"So how's life?" Andrea asked as we we're strolling. "How does it feel to be married to a well known handsome billionaire?"

"He's a little mean. He doesn't really want to be my friend." I flatly replied.

"Really?" She frowned. "Why is it that all the ridiculously hot men are so mean and arrogant. Damn it."

I laughed. "You think he's...attractive?"

"He's crazy hot Eleanor. How in the hell did you not jump his bones yet?"

"Andrea! I'm shocked." I giggled at her words. "There's just something about him. Don't know what it is..." I trailed off.

Before I could finish my sentence,I noticed something on the side of her neck.

"What's that?" I retorted.

Her eyes widened. "What?"

I stopped in my tracks and pointed to her neck. She touched the spot.

"Is that a hickey?"

"What are you talking about? It's a...bruise."

I fold my arms."A bruise,really? I know what a hickey looks like Andrea. Don't fool me. Is there something you're not telling me?"

She swallowed.

"Go on,tell me." I urged.

She sighed and we stopped in our tracks."I have a boyfriend."

I parted my mouth in shock. She has a boyfriend?

"His name is Nathan." Her lips curved into the biggest smile I've ever seen.

I frowned."Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I'm sorry. I wasn't ready to tell you yet." She said.

Yeah,what happened to We-tell-each-other-everything?

She walked over to a park nearby and I followed. We sat down on a long bench. A warm breeze ruffled the leaves of the trees. It was so calm and peaceful here.

"Mom and dad can't find out about us." She said slowly.

"They won't know if you keep quiet and don't make things so obvious. Like for instance that hickey in your neck. Why would you let him give you one there?" I shook my head.

"See,that'd why I didn't wanna tell you." She explained. "You're already judging me." Her tone of voice changed and she looks upset now.

"I just don't want you to get in trouble. What if they see that. You know dad gets suspicious very easily." I pointed out,frowning.

"And the fact that he's so observant blows my mind." She replies,shaking her head.

"Sooner or later it's gonna come out. The truth always comes out."

"You're right." She mumbled.

I gave her my scarf to put around her neck since I spotted more than just one hickey.

"Do you see Nathan often?" I asked,watching a young lad push a  little girl on a swing. It makes me smile.
It makes me wish I was a child again.
