The Story of Us

(Chapter 2) - Now married

"Would you please stop shouting, Ms. Son. You're attracting too many eyes and ears." he said quite calmly.

This man is basically getting into my nerves.

"I.can't.do.this." I said repeat with gritted teeth.

He looks at me with his serious eyes.

"Do you think I want this too? I don't. So please stop yelling at me like it's all my fault."

I rolled my eyes and look away. I feel hopeless knowing I can't do anything about the situation.

"Fine. I'll agree in just one condition." I gave up. "No one in school or anyone else except our family can know about this."

There's no use of fighting with him nor with my parents. Tsk. I just hope I made the right decision.

"It's a deal then." he said and we shake hands.

******************************************

And that was it. I found myself married. To my professor. Yeah, my professor.

I am taking Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in the same university where Ace, a.k.a. Professor Charleston is also teaching. He's the head of the engineering department which gives him a high position and sense of authority at the university. He has the looks, a lot of students have a crush on him but some are afraid due to his serious personality.

I didn't want to marry him because of the fact that he annoys me since the very first time I laid eyes on him. Besides, I wanted to be married to someone whom I want to marry. I guess it's all a dream now because I, Prim Snow Son, is already married. Ughh, I don't even know his age. Maybe around 27? Ughh what did I do to deserve to be in this situation.

It's been what, a month? Since our wedding took place. It was a private wedding just like what we suggested more like defended to our parents. Only close relatives came and no one else. This is for our own good. What will people say if the found out that a high-ranking engineer/professor like him is married to a student? That will surely spark rumors. I just want my last year in the university in peace.

My parents decided that we live in one house as should what any other married couple should do. It made me furious but I didn't say anything. That is why after the wedding, we went straight there. I admit I feel nervous at the time of our first night as husband and wife. It is after all, my first time living with a man in a house with just the two of us besides the maids. I haven't been on a relationship before so I don't know how to act accordingly especially when we are not a real couple.

FLASHBACK

We entered the large house which our parents gave to us as a wedding gift. Four maids were waiting for us and they greet us when we arrived. I thank them and they left. I felt awkward when it was just the two of us left.

"I'll go take a shower." I said and I saw him nod in my peripheral vision.

I went to the second floor of the house and found the largest room. I took a quick shower and went out wearing my night dress. When I step out of the shower, I found him standing inside the room.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"This is our room. Should I not be here?" he responds looking at me from head to toe.

I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Get out. This is my room."

He steps closer towards me which made me confused so I step backwards.

"I'll go sleep in the other room." he said and grabs the towel behind me.

When he left, I blow out the air inside my chest. What the hell was that?

END OF FLASHBACK

After that night, we didn't talk with each other unless it is something important or if we want to ask something. That only happened twice inside that one month.
