Chapter 6 Chapter Six
Chad? Of all the people surrounding me, his name was the only one I could utter. How pathetic that sounds.
But he wasn't dumb after all. He understood it right away when I called his name. Good boy!
I have to applaud him on that. He really did well. That was what I thought when he was driving away those people surrounding me as if they were going to eat me up. I had no space to breathe, gosh!
Until that annoying son of the devil, or should I say the devil's incarnation, lifted me in his arms.
I was startled and looked at him sharply. Was he mad or what? How could he carry me in those hands of his? Moreover, in front of all these people.
Damn this man! He ruined one of my fantasies. How could he carry me like that all of a sudden?
This act was one of my wishful love life and dreams. I'd picture the love of my life carrying me majestically in his strong and muscular arms, looking into my eyes lovingly with his beautiful eyes, and leading me to our bedroom.
How he would hold me close to his chest and whisper sweet and romantic words into my ears, “My love…” He'd call me lovingly and say, “Shall we go to bed now and cuddle?” He'd ask me that while smiling sweetly at me with his white, pearly teeth showing brightly.
I'd picture wrapping my arms around his neck and resting in his bosom as I slowly nodded my head shyly while I blushed profusely.
Damn it! Chad ruined everything! He ruined it! He ruined it!! Not only that, but he fucking ruined it ALL!!!
This devil, called Chad, not only lifted me, but he even held me so close to his chest that I could feel his warm breath on my skin making me shiver.
Wait! This isn't right. No! This can't happen. I need to get down. I wiggled and tried getting out of his arm, but screw you, Charlie.
"Marlie, dear, stop wiggling and let Chad help you out." She said sweetly.
Damn it Charlie! What kind of woman was she?
She didn't care that her husband-to-be was holding a woman that close to his chest. And to top it all, she lifted my arms and wrapped them around his neck.
What the hell is going on?
“Goddess of wishes, please don't let him say a word to me, please, please…. I don't want to lose myself, please don't let him. Not now... ”I silently made a wish that he would not whisper to me.
However, Oh my, the goddess of wishes seemed to hate me so much that she rejected my sincere and hopeful wish. Screw her.!!!
Chad turned and looked at me before whispering to me, “Marlie, I will take you to the bedroom.”
To hell with me and my inner self. I won't lie, I can't lie. I felt different. Something very peculiar.
Forgive me, Charlie, but I felt so different.
Forgive me, big sis… Trust me, I hate what I was feeling, but it was there. I felt different when he said those words.
It was as if his words were somewhat soothing medicine to my inner demons and hatred toward him.
My inner being moved me to look at him, and I met his eyes. l flashed back to when he kissed me years ago. My heart was beating so hard that I felt it wanted to come out of my chest.
I hate to feel that, and yet, I couldn't stop myself from feeling such a strange emotion.
None of them in the hall noticed the changes in me, since I was already shaking before he lifted me in his arms.
I held on to Chad so hard that I'm sure he realized what was happening to me, yet that son of the devil wouldn't put me down; rather, he flashed a smile at me. Screw him.
I was battling with my inner self to go against what I was feeling. But it seemed I had run out of luck because such feelings were becoming more apparent.
The worst part is… I couldn't even pinpoint what I was feeling. But it was undoubtedly different from the hatred I harbored towards him.
“ I will take her to her room!” Chad announced with his face still turned towards me.
No!…no…no…no… He shouldn't do it. It can't be. What was he thinking?
“Should I come along?” My naive sister asked. She was, in fact, so worried. I felt relieved since I knew my sister was going with us.
“No, Charlie!” my Dad's voice came through. “You should stay here to complete the introduction.” He said before turning back to Chad and instructed… “Chad! Stay with her for a few minutes. I've already called the doctor. He would be here soon.” Dad declared, and alarm bells started ringing in my head.
Huh? What was that? Did he just say I should be alone with him… No wait! I mean this devil. Did Dad expect me to stay with this devil for God knows how many fucking minutes?
Was that old man my enemy? Was he even my real Dad? Why would he push me from the frying pan into the fire? Damn old man.
I wanted someone to save me from myself and this man. However, surprisingly, they all agreed with the old man.
And Charlie, how could she leave me in the hands of the person she knew I hated most? Was she trying to torment me or suffocate me to death?
I started to cry within myself. This family was not mine. I was thinking my mum would save me since she was the most affected when I was shivering, but what kind of mother was she? Letting your first daughter's man hold the other daughter in his arms. Could they find nothing wrong with that?
"Charlie, please help me. Please don't leave me with him. Go with us, please sis, go with us? I pleaded within myself.
Then she looked at my face and uttered...
“Marlie, go with Chad. Don't worry, he will take care of you”
She even dared to reassure me. Just what the heck is wrong with all their brains??
