"I am yours. If I died this moment, I am yours. Forget me. Forget me and love me again as you did the first time. Forget me and come back to me again."
_James Joyce.
The next morning Sarah woke up early as usual. She decided not to think about last night's kissing incident with James.
It would be so embarrassing to face him, I won't let him do this to me ever again. Who does he think he is?
She thought angrily.
She was so furious because he stole her first kiss just to punish her for being outspoken and blunt.
She decided not to mess with him in the future and she won't expect him to be the good guy she was hoping him to be. After Harry's betrayal, she shouldn't trust any other man in her life because she believes that she is a hopeless lover so it's better not to fall for someone like James who thinks so highly of himself.
Fucking arrogant.
She mentally cursed him.
Okay, so for the sake of this Agreement I have to be a good wife and pretend to look head over heels for my loser husband.
Sarah thought and got up from the bed and walked to the closet to choose a proper dress.
Sarah took a quick shower she moisturized her body with her favorite scented body lotion. She was so obsessed with perfumes and scented products.
James left several tiny Hickey marks around her neck and chest area. She blushed to see them but quickly composed herself and got dressed.
After applying little makeup she left her room and walked to the kitchen in search of Martha.
Good morning, Mrs. James.
Martha chimed cheerfully.
Martha was one of the most loyal servants of Old Mrs. Williams, she felt so happy when she saw James and Sarah making out in the room last night. Like Old Mrs. William, Martha also wanted an heir for this state. She blushed inwardly remembering the erotic scene she witnessed last night.
Good morning, Martha how are you?
Sarah asked shyly.
Sarah knew the reason why Martha looked happy, She saw them kissing the previous night.
I'm good Mam. Did you sleep well?
She teased.
I'm good.
Get me a cup of coffee. Will you?
Right away Mam please be seated.
Sarah took a stool near the kitchen counter.
Where is James? I mean has he had breakfast?
There was a sincere concern in her tone. She was also surprised by her tone.
No, Mam. He left for the office without having breakfast which is unusual because he never miss his first meal. Maybe there would be something urgent that needed his attention in the office.
Oh, okay. Sarah responded.
Here's your coffee, Mam.
Thank you. Martha.
Sarah finished her coffee in silence thinking about James.
Coffee was wonderful. Sarah praised.
Oh, thank you, Mam.
I'll you around the Mansion.
Okay.
It was a traditional two-story mansion with a main living room and huge kitchen, Gym, swimming pool, and Four bedrooms on the main level, while six rooms including the master bedroom reside upstairs.
The Master bedroom was in James's use which she haven't seen yet.
Sarah was in awe to see this mansion.
After 20 minutes of house exploration, she felt exhausted and watched some tv show to change her mind(James was still on her mind).
In the afternoon Sarah received a call from Grandma. She invited them to have dinner together at her home.
Sarah accepted Grandma's invitation for tonight's dinner. She told Sarah that she has spoken to James already and he said yes to her.
It was five o'clock in the evening and James hasn't returned home yet so Sarah decided to get ready for dinner. She wore a black dress paired with black heels and decided to wear red lipstick which complemented her milky white skin. Her hourglass figure looks perfect in black dress. She looked drop-dead gorgeous in this color. She applied makeup to conceal the Hickey marks left by James. Every time she sees these teeth imprints on her neck and chest, memories of James fogs her sanity.
Martha knocked on the door and broke the trance Sarah was in.
Can I get in, Mam?
Come in. Sarah answered.
Mam, Mr. James phoned me and asked me to inform you that he's in the middle of something important so he's sending his Driver to drop you at Mrs. William's home and he will join you after the office.
Okay. Sarah replied.
Half an hour later driver came to pick her up.
Sarah felt vacant during the ride because she was missing James's presence and this was something she disliked.
