Falling For The Wrong Girl

"I am done! I don't need anything more out of life. I have you and that's enough."

"Have you decided?" Naomi asked to one person in particular.

Sharleen fidgeted nervously on the sofa as several pairs of eyes were directed to her.

Unfortunately for Sharleen, it has been a week since she was told by her mother in law to think about their proposal and it seemed the time for her to make the decision had arrived.

Sharleen looked around the room, her eyes connecting with each pair of eyes for a second and going to the next.

First was her friend Nicole who looked at her with encouraging eyes, as if saying 'i am with you in whatever you choose'.

Next was her mother in law who's eyes were begging, saying something like 'please agree, this is for your sake'.

After Naomi, her eyes went to Matthew who's looked confused her greatly but his eyes were very determined, but determined for what? She did not know.

Lastly, her eyes landed to the one she despised the most, Sam. As always he was his arrogant self, his eyes screaming something like 'you have no other option but to be with me sweetheart'.

Sharleen had thought about this for a few days now. If there were bad people as her mother in law said then she did not want to put herself at risk.

Seeing as to how serious Naomi was to the situation, she knew this was not an empty threat nor was this a bluff. There was no day that Naomi had given her a reason not to trust her so she believed her mother in law.

In addition to that, Sharleen had more to worry about than herself. She had a beautiful creation inside of her. The outcome of her's and Kevin's love. She would do anything for her child. Anything. Even if it meant getting married again in order to be safe. So be it.

"Yes i have decided." Sharleen declared. "I will get married."

The first thing that Sharleen heard after her declaration was a sigh from her mother in law. Her once worried face now looked relieved.

Nicole however took the news differently, Sharleen noticed. She looked shocked and full of confusion. Sharleen gave her a small smile as an assurance that all will be okay. That she was going to explain later.

Sharleen saw from the corner of her eyes Matthew nodding his head to his son and a ghost smile appearing in the corner of his mouth.

Sam however was a different story. Sam was looking at her with eyes filled with amusement. Like a rat had gone right into the trap without knowing. His mouth had a permanent mischievous grin.

"But..." Sharleen continued after noting all their reactions. "I won't be married to him." Sharleen said sternly, pointing at non other than Sam.

The looks at their faces again changed. If it were in another situation, Sharleen would have laughed her ass off at how these people were able to change their faces from happy to confused to anger in less than a second.

Naomi looked confused, same as her friend Nicole. The father and son however was a different story. Matthew's hardened jaws and balled fists was a clear indication that he was angry, although his nonchalant face said otherwise. His son though was not good at hiding his emotions. At all. His anger was so clear that steam was almost coming out of his ears and nose.
