Limbo

Chapter 6

"What the Fuck?" Venus said, standing up. Oh shit this cant be good.
"Tom what the hell are you thinking?" I said, trying to get as far back in the chair as i could. "We've known each other for three days."
"What. The. Fuck." Venus said again, seemingly getting more angry. I didn't understand why though, she's didn't want to marry him two days ago.
"Why are you mad?" I asked
"He's supposed to be my husband." She spat at me, "you just have to take everything from me, don't you? Your a little bitch, you know that?"
"Oh my god! What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled, full aware the whole room was watching me. "Two days ago you bolted because you were 'in love' with Zach, and i had to cover for your sorry ass! You've shown no interest in Tom anyway!" I turned to Tom taking another deep breathe.
"And you." I said, he looked scared as i pointed at him. "What the hell are you thinking? I've known you for three days. You can't be in love with someone after three days! Its less than a week. A week." I now pointed at both of them, glaring.
"You two are fucking insane." I said.
"Can we talk outside?" Tom asked, quietly.
"Fine." I said, follows him to the balcony, watching him as he closed the doors behind me.
"Alright I'm not in love with you." He said, "but i do care about you, a lot."
I just listened to him. Feeling better, knowing there wasn't a crazy person in love with me.
"I care about you, and if I'm going to marry someone, I'd want it to be you." He said, "and i do not want to marry your sister, no offense, but she seems crazy."
I laughed lightly, knowing he was completely right. I smiled, he wasn't all bad.
"But i have to tell you something." He said, his voice changed to concern, "I overheard my parents talking and your mother... shes planning on forcing you to marry James. I didn't catch why, but she plans to marry you one month after Venus." I was a horrified at my mother.
"What?" I asked, wanting to have misheard him.
"I know. I'm sorry, I wasn't going to do anything tonight, but after i heard that i knew i had to stop that from happening, especially after what you told me."
I nodded not really sure how to react, I didn't want to have an arranged marriage but I'd rather die than marry James. I weighed my options trying to figure out a way to work this out. We stayed silent, it was a comfortable silence.
"There are a lot more pro's for marriage to you, than con's." I said calculating, "but, if i agree, there needs to be rules."
"Of course." He said smiling a bit, clearly thinking rules were a funny thing.
"Rule 1. You do not get to lay a hand on me unless i give you permission."
"Rule 2." Tom said, "you are allowed to fall in love with me." He said half jokingly, I rolled my eyes, letting him add his stupid rule.
"Rule 3. If we get married, I'm not having any children-" he was about to interrupt, "unless, i fall in olive with you, yeah yeah i get it Romeo."
"Rule 4. No cheating, even if its not a real relationship." He said, i agreed, we both knew what that could do.
"Rule 5. I still get to be my own woman, no overbearing and shadowing me. I like alone time."
"I can agree to those rules." He said happily.
"Me too." I said, happy with my list of rules. We shook hands, agreeing to not break the rules.
"This marriage is a total sham." I said smiling.
