Finding my light

Chapter 3

"Who are you?" I asked starring into his pure green eyes. "Really, does that matter? you just bumped into me and now you asking who I am? who does that." 

Wow, forget he's good looking and has a super nice accent. Whoever this guy is, he's really rude. For God's sake It was a mistake. "I don't care if it matters or not. Keep your arrogance to yourself. And besides, you are in my house so I have all right to ask you who you are."

"Look, it's not going to take anything from you if you just stop running your mouth and say sorry." This boy is certainly out of his mind. "Is that what'll make your personality better? cause if it was, I'll gladly do." I said giving him a smirk.

"Then what are you waiting for. Say it, but be rest assured that it isn't going to change my personality. I like myself the way I am."

"Then, why would I say it if you enjoy keeping your personality like trash." I said ignoring him and getting to my room to pack my things. 

I put the last item in my box and walk to mom's room to tell her I'm ready to go. "Mom, I'm ready. when is the driver coming"

"Okay sweetie get your get your things in the car. He's here already. The driver wasn't able to make it, so Josh came himself."

" Where is he? he's downstairs. didn't you see him when you came?" please tell me it isn't that asshole I met when I came.

"Get your things down. He'll help you take some in the car."

"sure." I say walking to my room to pack my things into the car. I come down to meet the same pair of green eyes. "What? You're are Josh?" 

You've got to be kidding me. "I thought they said you're nice and polite." Josh said starring at me in disgust. "Whoa, are you going to talk about my politeness when you can't even work on how to at least fake your's."

"You know what, I can't believe you are going to be living with me. Much more getting married to you."

"What? Oh you think, I want to get married to you? I'm just doing this cause I want my family reputation not to be damaged. Don't feel like you're so special just cause I'm coming to live with you against my own will."

"Is everything alright over there honey?" 

"Sure mom. I've got everything all under control."

"No you haven't." Josh said glaring at me. "What did you say?"

"I said no you haven't." This guy is definitely insane. "You know what little Mr. perfect? If you think everything isn't under control, why not get everything under control." 

"No I won't, cause this is your house, wait until you get to my house." 

"Oh cause you're scared you you'll ruin how quite and calm this place is". Why isn't he answering me back. "Now you don't have anything to say. Ha." I could see him chuckling. "What is funny?"

"Behind you." "Huh? what's behind me?" I said as I finally decided to turn so I could see what he was talking about. "M-mom, how long have you been here?" How did she even get here without me knowing. I know I'm in deep deep trouble. 

"Honestly Winter? Is that what you have to tell me? You were just meeting him for the first time and this is the first expression you show to the gentle young man?" What? did she just say gentle? And she's been claiming she has known him since he was a baby. 

I guess she doesn't even know a thing about him after all. "Please can you Excuse us?" Mom said as she dragged me outside. "But mom........." 

"Enough Winter. Kate and Emily didn't never talked so rudely to their fiances like how you just did. I thought since you felt you were so special, we can just try doing a little something for you that you would at least appreciate since you weren't ready to follow the family customs but now I see how ungrateful you are."

"No mom, you're wrong. All of you are wrong. This is my life, and once I've lived it I can never live it again. You guys are forcing me to go marry some stranger that I don't even know. And first impression, He's been rude? No mom. I'm not Kate and Emily, you or any other person. I'm me."

"Wow, I see someone's been working on her confidence speech. I can't believe after all what your dad and I have done for you; Taking you to the best schools so far, and giving you a good life, you can't even do one little favor for us. You know what? I'm tired of your problems and everything just get your things into the car and get far away from me. You've caused enough problems for me. Just go."

Wow, I never knew my mom was such a monster.  A monster that was waiting to be unleashed when I turn eighteen. I walk to where Josh is without even saying a word.

"Thanks a lot Josh, take good care of her and don't forget to greet your parents for me. Winter, be a good girl okay. I'll tell your dad you've gone when he comes." Mom said faking a smile. This woman is a really good actress. I didn't even wave her goodbye or get to see dad before I went."

***

The drive was quite throughout the journey. Yes, I call it a Journey because we haven't still gotten there since in like two hours. I look towards his direction wanting to ask him if we're almost there yet but after what he did I don't think I'm ready to talk to him now. The car suddenly stops at a breath taken mansion. I was so taken back that I didn't even realize my mouth was opened until Josh gives me a disgusted look.   I wonder how many rooms must be in here. 

"Get Winter to her room." Josh said referring to the  young lady with a perfect bun. "Sure" She said as she bowed her head in response.

"Please follow me ma'am." 

Wow, the room is really big. The curtains were ash which were rhyming with the color of the room 'black'. It took me time to realize that the colors to the room was dim. 

"Wait, are we sharing a room?"
