To Make Her Mine

Josh

I called her Mrs Anderson.

Something was really wrong with me. I should be making her comfortable and it felt I was making it difficult for her.

Before marriage, she asked me to meet her. When I went to see her, she said she just wanted to be married for few months. Then she would tell Bridget it didn't work out for us and she would leave. I didn't like it. This was a real deal for me. Feeling angry with her, I thought I would say no to her but I wanted to do anything and everything for her. So I agreed.

We were married. It was a dream I wanted to come true but right now it was a nightmare given the circumstances. I would have happily married Eve but not in this way. But I married her anyway.

And I called her Mrs Anderson just now. I looked if we had any bottle of beer and I found that we were actually having enough for few days.

I drank beer in the silence. Eve hadn't come back yet. I sighed and opened my laptop. I had to send some files to my boss and some other work to do. I had around 5 bottles of beer down and yet I could use some more.

We survived each other for few days. It was just a question of 3 more days and we will go back to the normal lives. Busy days.

After an hour or so, Eve came inside. She was drunk and could hardly maintain her balance. I kept the laptop aside and got up to give her support. I lifted her in my arms and went to the bedroom.

"Cherry you shouldn't drink so much."
She said nothing.

I slowly laid her down on the bed. She was looking at me intently, her arms around my neck. There was something in those eyes, I knew what it was but I didn't want it to happen coz it would bring us no good.

"You should change."

"Yes, I should."

"I will give you some privacy."

"Do you think I can change by myself." She was making eyes at me. But I wasn't going to give her Chance.

"Well there's no one here to help you out."

"Why are you a hologram, Mr Anderson?"

"I'm very real. Pinch me if you want."

"Oh I would do more than that."

What was wrong with Eve? She never talked like this. Okay she talked like this when we were together but this wasn't the right situation. We were still in the same awkward position. With me hanging over her.

I pushed her away gently and said,"I won't allow that. You are drunk."

"Then how will I get changed."

"Okay let's do this. I will keep my eyes closed and I will change your cloths."

Turning back, I looked for her bag. Keeping her bag on the couch, I asked her what she wanted to wear. She didn't answer. As I opened it, there was a red transparent negligee inside. Apart from that, there were dresses and jeans and tees only.

Eve came and sat beside me on the couch.

"What happened?"

"There's just this negligee here."

"Where's the other bag. It must be in other one."

"I forgot to take it out of the car. Wait I will go."

"It's okay. It's very cold outside. I can wear that red negligee."

"The hell you are. I'm not letting you wear that. You will wear jeans n tees."
