I woke up the next morning because I felt that something is over me. I slowly opened my eyes and felt shocked when a familiar scene exposed in my sight.
I am sleeping next to him again.
I just let out a sigh then carefully turned my head at his direction. His face really looks bossy when he sleeps, his eyebrows are also thick. I glanced at our position again, my face immediately heated when I noticed that I was now wearing a different clothes.
Okay Cassandra, just breathe. That's okay he's your husband.
I have to get used to things like this. Is that right? Arghh! I'm going crazy.
I spent few more minutes on the bed before I decided to cook breakfast for the two of us. It was only then that I focused on his condo, it was just right size for the two of us. Not too big nor too small, gray and white are the colors of the whole condo from outside to the room.
I check the contents of his refrigerator to see what I can cook, good thing he is complete with stocks. In the end, I chose to cook the normal meals in the morning. Scared that he would assume that I put too much effort into it.
Well, it is okay to be like this, at least we can be casual right? I fried some eggs, bacon and hotdogs. I also prepared coffee even though I wasn't sure if he was having coffee in the morning.
"Oh shit!"
The cup I was holding almost fell. I found him sitting seriously while looking at me, I did not even notice that he had left the room.
"A-ahhm c-coffee?" I hesitated to offer then put it in front of him.
I would have sat down too if he hadn't just suddenly hold my hand. He frowned on it. He even sighed then left me at the kitchen, walking straight to the room.
He didn’t like what I prepare?
I was saddened by that thought. In the end I just choose to ignored that and started scooping food to my plate.
If he doesn't want the food that I prepared then okay. I won't fvcking forced him.
"Give me your hand."
I jumped in my seat when he suddenly appeared by my side. I noticed that he was now holding a small case and I am sure that it was a first aid kit.
Who was injured?
Because of confusion I did not immediately understand what he said so he voluntarily took my hand and get a chair to sit on.
It was only then that I noticed the small part of my hand was red. Maybe because some of the coffee was dripped there when I jumped earlier in surprise.
"I-It's okay, just a little burn. I'm alright, you can eat first.” I said and withdrew my hand.
It was really small that's why I didn't notice it either. His jaw tightened before he looked at me seriously. I felt nervous by his stare. "Give me your hand," he commanded.
I was like a child obeying the orders from an angry parent. I watched him took a cotton ball and wet it with alcohol then he rubbed it in the red part of my hand. He took a cream after and applied on it, I felt a bit cold on the area where he put it. He rearranged the kit when he's finally finished before placing it next to the table.
"Thank you."
He nodded. "Let's eat," he mumbled formally then spooned a food.
We ate our breakfast quietly. No one dares to speak.
"Let's talk," he uttered when he noticed that I was done eating.
I only nodded in response because I did not know how to open a topic or anything.
"About our marriage..”
"I'm aware that you were also forced for the two of us so no need to worry," I butted immediately.
He was silent for a moment before staring at me.
"The girl I'm with when you saw me. She's my girlfriend, I am saying this because I don't want to keep it a secret from you," he stated.
I nodded then smiled bitterly. "I know. Thank you for clarifying."
He leaned back in his chair then looked at me seriously. "Is it okay with you?"
"What are you talking?"
"Our situation, I married you but I have a relationship with other girl," he said directly.
I also leaned back in my seat before giving him a serious look. "As long as Daddy will not know about it, I'm fine. I can't do anything, I can't demand you to broke up with her and focus on me. I'm not that pathetic."
"Why not?"
I gave him a raw smile. "She was the first, she is also the one you love. In fact, I am the one who suddenly entered in your relationship. So who am I to ask for that, right?"
"But you are my wife now. You have the rights," he stated.
"How can I have the rights? We are married for a reason. Let me remind you my dear husband, we didn't marry each other because of love."
He fell silent after that so I decided to put our plates to the sink.
"Aren't you going to work?" I asked then peeked behind me.
"I canceled all my appointments."
"Waeyo?" I asked as I began to wash the plates. (Why?)
I do not know why he did not answer for a few seconds so I turned to him again.
His forehead furrowed as if something was being processed in his brain
"Was that an alien word?" he asked.
I thought for a moment what he was referring to.
I just smiled when I realized what that was. "I'm sorry I'm just used to that word being used instead of why."
"I'll join you in your company and teach you how to manage it until you get used to how to run it," he replied.
"Okay."
He did not speak again but even so he remained seated in his seat.
"Seems like you know how to do household chores."
I don't know if he admired or insulted me so I just let it go. I wiped the sink afterwards and removed the apron I was wearing.
I am a little bit surprised that he was still staying in his seat all the time, I just ignored his presence again.
"Ahmm, I'll just get ready," I hesitated to say.
He just nodded at me so I quickly walked to the bedroom. I could feel him following behind me so I felt even more nervous. I don’t know why his presence affecting me too much.
Am I attracted?
I immediately dismissed that in my mind. You are a traitor Cassandra! It was Ayesha's fault, she had installed green things in my mind. Arggh!
Without thinking I just went into the restroom and took a bath so I cursed my self to death afterwards.
"Fvck you Cassandra, what stupidity have you gone? How will you going out now?"
"You don't even fvcking brought any panty with you," I continued as I tightened the towel on my body.
I'm almost thankful that there is a towel here in his bathroom otherwise I'm literally fvcking naked now.
Due to the repetition of walking in the tiles I did not realize that the floor is already wet.
"AHHH!" I groaned loudly as I fell to the floor when I slip.
"Fvck!"
I stopped groaning when I suddenly floated in the air. Even though my buttocks hurt, I could not felt it anymore because I was more swallowed up by his presence.
"Fvck! Fvck!" he cursed after he deposited me down on the bed.
He knelt down to leveled our face. "Are you okay? Where does it hurt?"
There are his eyes again entering my soul.
"Cassandra," he called again which restored my sanity.
"A-ahh yeah, yeah, I'm okay. I'm sorry, I'm so careless, I did bother you,” I said shyly before moving away a little.
I moaned weakly because my buttocks were a bit sore. It didn't hurt too much but I still had to put up with it. Maybe it was just body shock.
Ohh yeah Cassandra, what the fvck was body shock? Was there something like that?
I just remembered how I looked like, my face heated with embarrassment.
"Are you sure nothing hurts? I'll bring you to the hospital."
"No need. I'm okay. Thank you," I said, averting my gaze at him.
It took a while before I raised my eyes to him. I could see the seriousness in his eyes as he looked at me.
He glanced at my body before turning his eyes away.
I heard him cursed before facing me again. "Dress up, we'll go to the hospital before we go to your company."
I didn't object anymore because I didn't want us to fight right away on our first day so I just nodded.
"Stay there. I will take your clothes."
I quickly stand up too to stop him but I did not know what misfortune I ate today.
Because of my sudden movement I tripped and fell on top of him. Worst part was my towel loosen a bit so the upper part of my body was stripped. We both stiffened in our place, I could not even stand because he could see my boobs if I do that.
"Tell me, do you have birthmark on your ass?" I did not know if he is teasing me or he's annoyed by my misfortunes.
Because of embarrassment I pressed my head against his chest.
I heard him cursed after that. I did not know what that is for.
"Ugh! Damn it baby, this is torture.."
