My Little Rebel

Chapter Sixteen: Arranged marriage

Alex's POV

"MY BABY IS BACK," I heard my mom shout as I laughed slightly and got out of my car shoving my keys in the pocket of Taylor's jacket that I was wearing...yes I was wearing his leather jacket. My mother engulfed me into a tight embrace as I gagged on her strong perfume smell, I had forgotten just how bad it was before now and it always made me sneeze, which is why I normally stayed away from her. "How have you been baby," she asked me as I laughed slightly and pulled her away from me. I wanted to get away from her perfume smell and I also didn't want her perfume to ruin the Taylor smell on his jacket...yes I know I like him probably more then I should but I wouldn't ever admit it to him...he's got a big enough ego as it is.

"I'm great mom...everything's going well at school and Lexie has found herself a boyfriend who her parent's approve of so that whole finding her a husband thing is over for her," I said as my mother nodded her head.

"Yes I actually heard about that," she said as I nodded my head and started walking to the house with her so we could get out of the cold. "Now...you want to explain the leather jacket," she asked me giving me hat confused and frustrated look.

"Yesterday I was cold so my friend lent it to me...never saw him before I came here so I kept it with me instead of leaving it in my dorm room...I got cold in the car so now I'm wearing it...it's actually keeping me very warm," I said which was true his jacket was surprisingly warm.

"So a friend...just lent you his jacket," she asked me skeptically as I nodded my head.

"Yes mom...I was cold and we still had a long way to walk back to campus so he lent it to me...relax would you it's not like I'm dating anyone," I answered her sounding kind of mad to be honest but I shook my head and left it that way cause I was sorta mad that she kept questioning me. 

"Okay...relax Alexandra I was only asking...it's been four months since I've seen you so I was just making sure everything was okay," she said and even I knew she was lying to me. She was asking me all these questions to see if I had changed my ways or disappointed the family and technically in a way I had...I mean I was having sex with a man that was pretty much poor and unacceptable in this family and I now had a tattoo. 

"Sorry...I'm just a little tired from all the driving," I said covering up everything as best as possible as she nodded her head.

"There's my baby girl," my dad said as I smiled at him and hugged him tightly as he hugged me back. "How's my baby been," he asked me as I giggled and looked up at him staying in the hug. 

"Good...how have you been," I asked him as he chuckled and kissed my forehead. I could actually stand my dad...he was always here for me and he loved me more then anything...even if he had work if I had a bad day at school he would call in sick and stay with me talking to me making sure I was okay. 

"I'm excellent now that you're here," he said as I giggled and hugged him again. "So you're here for the two weeks right," he asked me sounding kind of upset as I sighed and wanted to say yes but I was actually missing Taylor a lot.

"No dad just for the week," I said as he nodded his head. "I have some stuff I have to do for school and it'll be easier to do it on campus," I lied which I had never done with my dad before so now I felt slightly guilty about it. 

"Alright fine...I guess I'll have to spend as much time as I can with you," he said as I giggled and nodded my head walking off with him into the house. "I like the jacket," he said as I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"What is it with you and mom on pointing out the jacket...do you guys like leather or something," I said as he chuckled and shook his head.

"No...no sweetie I use to have one just like it actually...I wore it mostly while I was on my bike," he said as I arched my eyebrows and looked at him.

"You had a motorcycle," I asked him as he nodded his head and chuckled.

"Yeah...my father bought it for me for my eighteenth birthday and normally we don't have motorcycles but I really wanted one. My dad told me if I kept my grades up and picked a really good women to marry then he'd get me a bike and I did both," he said as I nodded my head. "I still got it...it's in the garage...doesn't run to well though...I should probably take it in and get it fixed but I have no one to give it to," he said as I nodded my head.

"Well then I'll let my friend know you like his jacket," I said as my mother walked off to somewhere in the house as my father and I sat in the kitchen. 

"His...you borrowed a jacket off of a guy," he asked me as I nodded my head. 

"Yeah one of my friends from school...I got cold so he let me borrow it and then I didn't see him today and I got cold so," I said before I shrugged my shoulders. I said it before and I'll say it again...I hated lying to my father...I could lie to my mother no problem but when it came to my father I just hated lying to him and I had never done it before until now. 

"Well then...is this a special guy or just a friend," he asked me as I shook my head.

"Just a friend daddy...he's...he's not really...well he's not," I really didn't want to talk about this with my dad.

"Rich," he said as I nodded my head worried about what he would say. "He got a motorcycle...seems a little dangerous and you just have a small attraction for him," he said as I looked at him with wide eyes.

"How the heck did you know that," I said shocked as ever as he chuckled.

"Please baby girl I can see it written all over your face," he said as I shook my head. "Don't lead him on though Alex...you know that we get to chose your husband," he said as I arched my eyebrows. "Oh yes your mother and I have decided that we will pick your husband...you'll be getting married as of the end of June. You want to open your own store and sell your clothes well it'll look better to have a man by your side so your mother and I are going to chose your husband and you'll be married in June," he said as I sighed and nodded my head.

"Alright and don't worry Dad he's just a friend," I said as he nodded his head and kissed my forehead before walking off as I groaned and leaned my forehead against the counter hating that now I would have an arranged marriage. I hated that I would have to chose my husband but at least before I could spend the year getting to know them but now it was just here's your husband have a nice day and don't forget we want grand kids. I hated this...I hated this so much and right now I just wanted to be in Taylor's apartment curled up with him or doing some other activities with him...even arguing and yelling at him is better then being right here at this moment.
