Got married by mistake

Obvious

OLIVIA

“Then when I knelt and proposed, your mama fainted. I was in a lot of panics then. I thought I can’t marry her anymore.” Dad’s story. Ever since we got along, hood story has never stopped. This is where I spent the night because I watched over papa. I waited for Wilson to come but nothing, I just hope he would come. “That’s right, she was pregnant with you then. She has no right to refuse of course.”

“You turned mama around pa.” I said and feed him with the spoon.

He swallowed it before speaking. “No ah. She’s the one who insists on what we do,eh.”

“Still.” I laughed.

“You look like Vivian when laughing. She also loses her eyes when she laughs,eh. She’s so thin.” He caressed my cheek. “Too bad. God to mom too early.”

I held his hand. “Dad, don’t be sad. You can’t be stressed.”

“Who’s sad? I am? You’re the sad one. You’ve been looking at your phone. Who are you waiting for to call?”

How I wished he’s going to call or text! Ugh!

Speaking of him calling.

I lower the bowl I was holding. I cleared my throat before speaking. “Sophie called me yesterday, Pa. She heard what happened to you.”

Dad almost jumped for joy. If it weren’t for this IV, he would probably have run outside and shouted to the whole world that his favorite child was coming back. “When is she supposed to be back?”

“She didn’t say but she said soon. I tried to call the number She used in calling me but it cannot be reached.

“Your sister will be back to, daughter. By the way where’s Wilson, why aren’t you with him? Is he still mad at me?” I haven’t spoken yet. I just looked at my phone and sighed. I felt dad’s hand caressing my hair. “Child, I know I’m the reason your life turned out like this. I know Sophie is the one Wilson loves, but unexpectedly, you stood up as his wife to avoid intrigue. Forgive me, child. This is just the way it is. I can think of ways to keep our company from collapsing.”

“It will all end when Sophie arrives, to.” I smiled sadly.” A lot will change when she comes home.”

“Do you love Wilson?”

I nodded. It’s good that he knows. “I also told him that Sophie called me yesterday. He said nothing. Maybe he still loves Sophie. Well, we can’t help it, can we?”

Dad kissed my forehead, a sign of comfort. “I do have too many sins on you.”

I was about to speak but I was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was followed by a baritone voice. “I’m coming in.”

My heart started to pound fast. He is already here. What do I do? Ignore him? Be cold too honey? Threat him like he’s a nobody? My system started to panic. My back stiffened when I heard the door open.

“Wilson! I thought you were still mad at me.” My dad said happily.

“I brought you fried chicken, rose flowers, and crispy pork.” What the heck!

“You’re even mad at me.” Papa chuckled. “Are you trying to kill my, son?”

“When are you going to get out of here? You’re taking my wife’s time away from me, papa.” Wilson said frowning. He sat in the chair next to me and held my hand. What will I do? If I removed that, dad will notice that Wilson and I don’t understand each other.

“Why bother calling me papa if you’re going to be rude at me.” Dad laughed and slapped Wilson’s arm. “Your too serious, son. Smiling will make you feel better.” “Look at me. Isn’t it, my daughter?”

“Yes, papa. I peeled apple for you. Here eat it.”

I just chose to ignore Wilson and I just pretended to feed papa apple to separate his hand. From my peripheral vision, I noticed his sharp gaze. I heard him sigh.

Dad and I were talking about business and I was silent. I stood up when there was a knock on the door. When I opened it the smiling doctor opened up to me. I eased the door open for him to enter.

“I have good news!” Said the doctor as he read the result he was holding. I sat on top of dad’s bed. “You can come out this afternoon after your results come out, compadre.”

“Thank you. My back hurts when I lie down. Wait, is there a nice nurse to take care of me?”

I didn’t know that papa had this side.

“Pa! I’m still here you know.”

“You have other responsibilities, Olivia. Besides,I can handle myself.” I doubt.

“I’ll hire a private nurse for you.” Wilson groaned. I started at him and raised an eyebrow at him.

The doctor said more results. It is said that papa’s condition is better than before. He also said dad’s prescription drugs. I looked at the side table and remembered that there was only a little medicine on top of it.

“I’ll just buy your medicine, Pa. Your supply is about to run out.” I said. I was about to pass when Wilson tried to trip me off using his feet. I slapped his leg that was blocking my way. “Excuse me.”

He was annoyed again. I was already on a bad trip, I was even more upset when I saw him. Let’s thanks a week back I walked out of the private room and went straight to the drugstore.

I gave the pharmacist what the doctor prescribed. It looks like dad has no intention of taking care of me because of Wilson.

“Here it is,ma’am.” He handed me the plastic.

“Thank you.” I said smiling.

I was currently checking all the plastic medicine when I felt the stiff arm around my waist. He covered my mouth so my scream was suppressed. He pulled me into an empty room.

“Shh.” Wilson? “We need to talk.”

The moment I saw Wilson’s almond eyes, I’ve lost words. I averted my gaze. He followed me.

“You can’t even like at me.” He mumbled.

He removed the hand from my mouth but I still couldn’t breathe because of our closeness. I lean against the door and I get more stressed when I get naughty.

“Dad needs the medicine, so—“

“Bulls-hit!” I winced when I heard him curse. “I just let the night passed that’s why I didn’t come in here. I was going to talk to you but you won’t understand if you’re still mad at me.”

Reasons.

“I don’t care if Sophie is still the one you love. I’ve known that for a long time. I know my limitations, I know I can’t replace her. I know I have a promise to you, I’ll make you forget all about her, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. I’m just fooling myself. I’m just relying on myself. Because, Wilson, no matter what I do, Sophie’s face is still what you see in me.” I said passionately. I am becoming vocal in my feelings for him. Nothing will happen if I hide it.

One of his eyebrows rose. “Are you done? You’ve taken it all out?”

“Not yet. I want to say, I mean, shout in your face, I’m jealous. But I have no right to do that.”

“You have all the rights. You’re my wife. You’re Miss Smith.” “What’s am I going to do to you woman?!”

I cleared my throat and pulled my phone out of my pocket. Wilson stared at me While I pulled it out. “This is my phone. This is where Sophie called. The number is still on the call log.”

“Dam-n it, Olivia.” He shuddered as he touched my phone. I gasped as he threw it at the wall. It was falling apart. With the strength of its rock, I think, even the screen is cracked! “Woman! Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I don’t know if she’s coming or not. The important thing is, you’ll never leave my side, Olivia.”

I could not speak. He sighed and hugged me tightly.I could hear the rapid throbbing of hood heart. “How fast does it best while I’m holding you?”

My tears almost dripped. I hugged him tightly. I stressed myself to him. I can not talk.

“Cat got your tongue?”

“So fast,” I said. “It was so fast, Wilson.”

“Call me will.”

“Will.”

“I missed you.” He kissed me on the cheek down to my neck. “Let’s go out. Maybe that’s where it’ll end up.”

He moved away from me and attempted to open the door when I stopped him.

“Wait.”

His forehead furrowed. “Why? Is there still a problem? I’ll just change your phone.”

I need to ask him “ in case Sophie comes back and make you choose between the two of us. Who will you choose?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” He says it seriously.

“Huh?”

“Uhh, no.” Is there no direct answer to my question?

“Not my problem. Let’s go baby.”
