Arranged Marriage-Life

Meeting

 I didn't believe it at first. However, my doubts are shattered when a man named Jackson Torres and his father walked into the classroom at school one day. I went straight to thinking " was this the man that my father said i must marry. I started to look at him and of course he was good looking but i didn't know him and neither did i want to be forced to marry him. That's when he came straight up to propose to me. Yes, i was extremely embarrassed, what with all of the people in the huge room witnessing that unforgettable moment. And then, I accepted Jackson Torres' hand in marriage, just like what my father told me to do. i got no choice because my inheritance is on the line

So after he proposed I was taken to the Torres estate and left alone in a office room. I sat in the office room for what felt like half an hour before Jackson's father came into the room. He took a seat behind his desk and started to speak. 

"So Alejandro it has been a long time since i last saw how have you been doing." He said to me.

"Excuse me sir but I don't know who you are, and could you please explain why my father wanted me to marry your son." I said in response.

Now that my boy is a complicated story that goes back to when your father and I where kids in high school. " See back then we had famous parents like you and my son also have but we didn't let that influence how we saw the world. One day while your  father and I were playing at his house there were a lot of awkward moments between us but what isn't awkward between two teenage boys. Anyways what i'm trying to say is that I had a huge crush on your father.

WHAT!! I exclaimed really shocked.

Yeah I had a crush on your father  but now on to the story so back then your father was dating your mother they had just began to get to know each other. But I was so jealous that I started to do illegal things with my body in order to fill the void of not being able to be loved by him. So one day I was planning to do something illegal again but he overheard and he asked me what i was doing and he tried to get me to tell him why i was going to do it. I broke down crying and that's when i finally told him. I thought he was going to laugh or tell me that we couldn't be friends anymore. But he shocked me that day more than you can imagine. 

"Did he hit you" I said eagerly to know the real answer.

"No he did not what he actually did would change our lives as we knew it his especially." He said to me.

"What did he do" I very dearly wanted to know what would change my fathers' life.

So I told him that i had a crush on him and that I was doing those things because i was jealous of him and your mother. He kissed me .

He kissed you ? i said interestingly.

Yes he did and when he did i kissed back and there was a moment of weakness in him. When he pulled back he said that he had always wanted to do that but he was scared that i didn't like him. That's what shocked me because he had a girlfriend and he was saying that he like me.

"So he cheated on my mom" I said in a not caring voice.

Yeah and we did a lot of things that night including that we both confessed that we were bisexual. But we couldn't be together because of our family names. So we devised a plan where our first children no matter the gender would marry to keep our family intact while still be able to be near each other at the time it seemed like a crazy idea. I certainly never thought of actually doing it until your father was on his death bed. I went to visit him and he asked me to uphold what we had because he had saved me from my self all those years ago.

"And there it was the reason I had to marry his son"  I said to myself.

Your father told me you were gay and that he wanted you to have someone that was actually right for you not someone who was with you for the wrong reasons like money or just to carry around your family name. He wanted you to experienced a love like we had but the difference being you never got to be separated from it.

I was really at a lost for words my father was bisexual, well I guess that's why it was so easy for me to tell him I was gay.

" But what I don't understand is why didn't he tell me a long time ago." I asked myself or so i thought.

He couldn't tell you as part of the Vera family they were very strict as to what went on and he got so used to hiding it to the way it just became natural to him.

I was so shocked that I needed to get out of the office for while.

"May i go now this is just all too much to handle right now" I asked tiredly.

Yes you may your room is just down the hall the second door to the right. 

Thanks and I'm hope we will get a better understanding of each other soon. I said as i turned to walk out the door.

"I just hope you will truly accept my son and not resent him because of this situation." That was the last thing I heard Mr. Torres say before I left the office heading towards my room.

As i'm walking down the hallway a muscular and lean body blocks my way. When i look to see who it is  I see Jackson standing right in front of me. 

He holds his position and it's and awkward silence for a minute until he breaks the silence.

"Hey"...........
