MARRIED TO MARIO

Chapter 5

~ Katharine ~

.

I woke up the next day and tidied up.

I went downstairs to get something to eat.

I walked into the kitchen and gathered some ingredients.

I'll just eat vegetables.

After filling my stomach with collard greens, I left the kitchen and sat on a couch.

I kept tossing and turning, feeling bored.

I switched on the TV but switched it off because I wasn't interested.

I wonder where Mario is.

I hope he's alright.

I felt so disturbed and uneasy cause I don't know where he is.

I got up and went to his room but he wasn't there.

I checked every possible place that a human could be in the mansion but couldn't find him.

Chill Kathe, he probably went to the office.

I'll call his office to know.

But why am I so worried about him?

I mean if it was me, he wouldn't bother about my whereabouts.

OK he will cause of the company right.

And I'm also the one in love with him, my feelings are my problems.

I took my phone to call his office but the door bell rang.

He must be the one.

I heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door.

My hopes were shattered when I saw that blondie lady.

What's her name again? Pipe... No Piper..

"Mario sweetie" she called and pushed me aside so she could come in.

"Come back here" I said between gritted teeth and pulled her back.

Waoh! I've got strength!

She folded her hands round her chest, glaring at me.

"This house isn't for sluts like you so get out " I said sternly.

She scoffed as if my words didn't get to her.

"Whatever" she seethed and tried to walk past me but I pulled her back again.

This time she yanked her hands off my grip, pushing me in the process and I landed on my butt.

Ouch! That hurts.

"Listen b***h! You're just here for the company contract and nothing more so know your limits" she said.

I got off the floor and pushed her hard.

She groaned angrily and attempted to hit me but we heard Mario's voice and she stopped.

"What's going on here" he asked, descending the stairs.

Wait! Was he in the house?

I think I need a map to know everywhere in this mansion.

"This b***h here slapped me" she lied, going to Mario

She stood beside him, feigning hurt.

"You're the b***h here dweeb" I corrected.

"Now Katharine, do I have to teach you how to behave with visitors" Mario asked and I arched an eyebrow.

"Special visitor" he remarked and Piper blushed at the mention of 'special '.

I rolled my eyes and turned my back on them.

I heard their footsteps going up and I sighed.

I slumped down on the couch and a tear slid down my cheek but I quickly wiped it off.

I took my phone and texted Olivia to come meet me at a cafeteria.

I climbed the stairs, heading to my room.

Almost at Mario's room, I sucked in a breath knowing I'm gonna hear mo*ns and that'll break me.

But what do I care? I walked past the room and to my surprise, I heard nothing.

Whatever! They will still do it anyway.

After dressing up, I took my bag and left.

~ Mario~

Piper and I went to my room and I sat on the couch while she stood, staring at me.

She knew something was off, I was angry.

She stood, staring at me as she waited patiently for me to speak up.

"Why did you push her" I asked softly, trying very hard to surpress the anger in me.

'Who' she asked innocently and I scoffed.

"Why did you push Katharine " I asked between gritted teeth.

"She slapped me" she lied, defending herself.

"I don't care, just never hurt her again" I said sternly.

"Isn't she here for the company contract?" she asked.

"Of course "

"So why do you care about her, you're starting to treat her special" she seethed.

She smiled and sat on my laps, looking at me seductively.

"Or is she more?" she asked.

"No, she's just for the company contract, once I get that company, I'll trash her" I blurted and she smiled.

"Good" she said and started stripping off her clothes.

~ Katharine ~

I sat at a table beside the window, waiting patiently for Olivia.

I sighted her coming towards me with that grin that reaches ears.

"Oh please tell me am not late" she demanded and I scoffed.

"Has there ever been a day when Olivia Marshall is not late" I teases and she chuckled.

"Now start talking " she urged happily.

"And yeah, help me talk Mario into letting me stay in your mansion" she smiled.

I rolled my eyes and laid my head on the table in frustration.

"You'll be shocked when you hear all this" I said.

"Will I be in coma after hearing it" she asked and I chuckled.

"So start" she ordered.

After telling her everything, she says she's going to teach Mario a lesson for shattering her besties dreams. She stood up and I held her back.

"What are you gonna do to him if you go there" I asked

"I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind and beat some sense into his thick skull" she groaned.

We were now the trending video in the café cause everyone's gaze is on us.

After coaxing Olivia she sat down.

"Are you sure you can do this" she asked and I nodded.

"And here I was, thinking my bestie was the most lucky girl on planet after a billionaire fell in love with her" she sighed and I smiled.

After he gets the company he wants, I'll use the money he pays to rent a better apartment for both of us" I said

"I'm always here for you okay" she said and I nodded.

She pulled me into a hug.

"I have to go now cause I just took a few mins leave from work" she said.

"Hope you'll be fine" she asked

'Yeah'

We hugged for one last time and she turned to leave.

"And don't hesitate to come back home if that asshole crosses his limits" she yelled from the entrance and I chuckled.

Gosh! I totally forgot to order us something

But considering she works at a restaurant, no qualms.

I ordered French fries and ate.

'Katharine' someone called and I looked up to see Ken.

"Oh hey" I smiled.

He took a seat and ordered himself juice

We chatted for quite some time, exchanged numbers and he left.

I stood by the roadside, waiting for a cab.

'Hey' someone called, running towards me and I arched an eyebrow.

He caught up with me and I breathed out an 'oh' when I recognized him.

It was the waiter from the party.

"It's you" I said and he smiled.

" I'm Lance "

"Katharine " I said and we shook hands.

After exchanging numbers with him, I hailed a cab and left.

It doesn't hurt to make friends.

I arrived home.... Mansion to be precise.

It's not my home.

Without ringing the bell, I went in to meet Mario and Piper kissing.

I coughed so they could notice me and they did.

"Have some respect and do it in the bed room" I seethed and went up to my room.

I freshened up and laid on my bed still full from the French fries I ate in the cafe.

The wind howled, staring my windows against each their.

I got up and closed the windows.

Looks like its gonna rain heavily.

The thought of it gave me goosebumps and I swallowed hard.

I closed my windows and doors and made sure the room was safe.

Thunder roared and I jumped in fear.

Soon I heard the rain heavily with thunder roaring and lightening so I ran to hide.

~ Mario ~

I can't help but wonder why Katharine kept making noises from her room.

She screams softly and it disturbs me.

I left my room and headed to hers.

I knocked on her door softly but there was no reply.

I tried going in but the door was locked.

"Katharine open the door" I said loud enough to her hearing and I heard a little gasp.

"Are you alright Katharine?" I asked but no reply.

"Katharine open the door " I demanded.

"No" I heard her tiny voice. It was shaky and hoarse.

Wait! Is she scared? Scared of the rain?

"Open the door Katharine, you don't have to be scared" I said, trying to coax her to open the door.

"Just open the door" I hit the door hard and I heard her faint gasp.

She's never gonna open the door like this.

I sighed and went to get the spare key from the store room.

I came back and opened the door.

I entered to find her bed empty.

Did she leave?

"Katharine " I called but no reply.

Thunder roared and I heard her gasp. Wait! Did I hear correctly where the gasp came from?

I turned around and squatter down to see Katharine under the bed, trembling like crazy.

I wanted to laugh but she'd kill me if I even let out a chuckle.

She's so scared and her facial expression is... So funny!

"Come here" I said and she nodded negatively.

"I'm here with you, nothing's gonna happen" I assured trying to take her hand in mine but she flinched.

"What if the lightening strike the windows and... And..." she panted softly and I admired her expression.

She's so cute.

"Ssshhhh nothing is gonna happen to you" I said and took her hand.

I slowly brought her out and carried her, bridal style.

She curled up in my arms and I held her tight.

I took her to my room and held me tight when she saw my room.

My windows were open and we could see the rain and thunder in a blur.

"Ssshhhh" I cooed her and kissed her forehead.

I gently laid her on the bed and closed the windows, fell the curtains, locked the door and dimmed the lights.

I laid beside her and pulled her close to me with my hands wrapped tight around her protectively.

Her body relaxed in my arms and soon she was fast asleep.

I tried admiring her more as she slept but my eyelids got heavy and I slept off.

~ Katharine ~

I groaned softly as I pressed closer into the warm pillow.

Wait! My pillow isn't this hard!.

I slightly opened an eye to see Mario.

His hands wrapped tight around me.

Gosh! How did I get here?

I sat up slowly and sighed.

The only thing I remember is 'it was raining and I hid under my bed cause of the thunder and Mario came to take me to his room and'... And that's all I remember.

I gasped softly when I noticed I was just in my singlet and the sweater I wore was on the floor.

Did we... Did we have....... I mean did he r**e me?

I looked over to him and gasped again when I saw his bare chest.

And he was just in his boxer shorts.

Why's my sweater on the floor? And why is he wearing only boxer shorts?

That means we... Oh my God!
