After Marriage

Chapter four

Recap
"He's confused, if only I could talk to him and-
his warmth engulfed me again, taking smoothing from his embrace.. his hands found way to my back patting me gently

"We'll figure this out, very soon- we will, I promise "

*********
It had been two weeks now , we were packing out ready to take our flight home and I was nervous-
I didn't know how to face my family and friends! - I didn't know anything about what I wanted or what my next move would be..and I was scared

Hary run off on our wedding day- his twin brother took his place pretending to be him, a twin I knew nothing off! I couldn't get to him through his phone- and worse of all I didn't know who I was married to !

Har- Henry seems to be busy on the phone whilst we were on the plane, and I seems to be trying to rack my brain about my situation!

"Henry?"

"Leah?"

"Soo, after here, what do you have in mind?"
This time I had his full attention, he really looked handsome- soo much like Harry..

"Maybe go back to my life? , I erm came to this country because of my job, and miraculously my twin called me so we could bond- I mean try to solve whatever happened between us and before I knew it, I was here."

"Wait- what was wrong ? What happened?"

"I think he's in the right place to tell you Leah, and i don't know my brother so well ,but I'm sure he'll make right"

"Har- Henry I need to get to the bottom of this, please help me out maybe whatever happened had connections to his disappearance."

"I don't think so, it happened long time ago, before he met you"

*****
We got to the airport and our drive was ready, as grateful as I was I let myself in before i knew it i saw him again-Harry.

Leah we're home_
Yeah right.. home...

"Where's this place?" I asked stepping out of the car. The house was huge with a large area garden with lots of flowers..it was beautiful..

" Welcome to my home " he said smiling down at me. I mean I was in his house! My supposed husband! His twin who everyone supposenly thought was my husband!

"Nice- " I said looking towards the swimming pool at the left centre I just recognized

"Thanks, come in "

He lead the way into the house - it looked lively,
"It looks clean and-

"Yea, I called to clean up yesterday "

"Oh, okay " he had our bags - damn he's strong!

"Erm, you should rest, I'm sure you're tired, would order something when you're refreshed, you can use the room on the left, I'll be at the guest room if you need me" he said taking his leave

"Wait- no, you can't.. I'll take the guest room"

"Leah, you're not my guest, you're a family- my brother's wife, please take some rest "

Fine..

With my bags in already, I let myself rest on the the bouncy bed, soft... nice!
Luckily there was a sweet scented rose shower gell..ha! How manly!

********
"I can see you're refreshed, did you rest well?"

"Yea, plus the manly shower gell did the trick "

"Very funny, I put that in there for you, believe it or not-"

"I choose not to! Your loss"

"Keep lieing to your self missy, anything you want for dinner?"

"Not really, but some homemade food would do"

"Uhh- I don't think you can eat what I cook" he said looking at me nervously earning a laugh from me.."damn you're cute looking like that"

"I worked out 24/7 at the gym just to be called cute? Well that hurts" but I didn't fail to notice that small dimples..

"Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble sweetheart that's all you get for now- let me see what I can get in the kitchen "

So we settled on paster, delicious homemade pasta ..well I had a thing for cooking..Harry loved my cooking !

"Henry?" His attention slowly drifted from his food to me, waiting for me to utter the next sentence

"I'm going to find Harry, and sought this puzzle..but for the mean time could..could you play his role?"

I know! I know! It was crazy of me to ask that of him. Hell I was not certain if I wanted that, but what other option did I have?  I loved Harry and I didn't intend on giving up on him! If everyone thought I was with him, it would make things easier

"Leah, I- I don't know, I mean , I really don't know if I'll stay here for long, I'm here to expand my business Leah, and when I see to it is done I might leave-

"I know, I'm not saying you should stay. Since you're here , can't you just play his role? I mean we're civilised enough with each other- I want to get to the bottom of this, and I don't want my family or friends worrying about it-"

His eyes gazed at me, now I took in the clarity of him, his eyes were a lighter shade of brown compared to Harry's,

"Leah, I don't know-

"We're not supposed to act or be married, just if necessary in public.. you- you can date! Or do anything you want- I'm not tieing you down and you said he wanted you to do so- just till you leave or hopefully I find him "

This time I knew I won my debate as he slowly broke away from my pleading eyes..

"Alright, just until I'm done with my project here" he said taking his empty plate-

"And Keah?" He turned to me with the the plate still in his hands "I have a girlfriend "

*********
Shoot!....
Way to go.. anyways I have nothing else to say, you know the drill right?
Stay safe everyone! And let's keep active!.
