I am his

Monica POV What have I done I agreed to be set up to marry who my mother has picked out for me? I do not know who he is or what he does. She just promises me I will be happy. If you would have told me a month ago that I would be marrying who my mom set me up with I would have thought you were crazy. Please understand before now I never let my mom know who I was dating. She has only ever met one of my boyfriends and that did not turn out right. I thought I was going to marry my ex but no that did not happen since I came home and caught him cheating on me with the girl next door. I still cannot get the images out of my head. Him just taking her from the back and her yelling his name. I hate him. I have never felt so broken and the fact it was in our bed made it worse somehow. So, I ended up moving out and back in with my mom. I know lame right I am twenty-three years old and have to move on. Over the past month my mom has gotten me to agree to let her set me up well. It turns out when I said yes, I thought like on a date right just a date not marrying someone I have never met. So today I got up and got dressed in a small white dress and white slip-on shoes. I leave my hair down and only put a little make-up on. Standing in my room looking around after today, I will be married and moved out of my mom’s house, just hope this time works out better. Standing at the door I put my shoulder back head up and go out of my room do not look down keep your head up high. You can do this "Honey you look so good are you ready to go, now remember this is a family friend you are marrying, and this is what is best for everyone." my mom says to me "I understand mom I will make this work" I say back to her "Let’s go we are to be at the courthouse in one hour and we do not want to be late" She says as we are walking out of the door "Mom this is the right thing to do right I mean I have never meet him before" I ask Okay let me tell you why I am really nerves I left out a key part of my ex so I never had s*x with him I wanted to wait until we got married, I know five years is a long time, but I never thought he would not ask me to marry him. I wanted to wait, this was something that was mine to give, and no one could take it away from me. I get it that is why he cheated on he who would wait five years to not have s*x but why not ask me to marry you. As the time went on it got to the point, he would stay out more but I guess some could say in a way this was my fault. He could have ended things if he did not want to wait. He could have talked to me before sticking his d*** in the girl next door. Anything would have been better than what he did. I mom keeps talking she thinks we were having s*x never told her different did not want anyone to know about our s*x life "Yes, this is what is best to you, You never should have moved in with that ex-boyfriend of yours without being married. This will right what everyone thinks of you down at my church" she says "Mom you are doing this because of what people are saying at your church really, I will do this last request for you but if this does not work out then I will no longer listen to your relationship advice." I let her know "Fine fine fine let’s go" she say as we arrive at the courthouse no one is here that is weird why is no one here it's only 3:00 shouldn't it be open right now I walk behind her as she starts up the stairs to the courthouse. You know I never thought when I got married who it be with someone I did not know or in a courthouse. I always wanted a big wedding, the white dress maybe doing this in a church or maybe at the beach something better than this. I really do not understand how it has come to this. When I moved out at 18 with my ex-boyfriend, I thought he would be my forever. That's why I ran away with him. For a few years I was very happy I really thought we were going to get married. Hell, I really thought he loved me. Taking a deep breath, I walk into a room where another woman who is a light green long dress cannot see her shoes, but she is very pretty and a little older. She looks to be about my mom’s age. I take it this is the family friend, and her son is who I am to marry now. "Hello Marie, it is so good to see you again, you never told me how beautiful your daughter is. Hello, my name is Amber. It is very nice to meet you. I am Eric's mother. He should be here any minute" "Hello ma'am it is very nice to meet you. My name is Monica" I let her know She goes to say something else when the door opens, and I see two guys walk in wearing all black suits. They look like they work out, they are tall and look like they could kill any minute. Then I saw the sexiest man ever. He must be at least six feet three inches a lot taller than me. I am only five feet. He is wearing an all-black suit as well but it fits him like a glove. He has black hair and dark black eyes. I mean my mom could have done worse for me then this wow I just hope he is nicer than he looks he does not look too happy to be here. "Eric honey come meet your bride she is lovely I know she will make you happy." His mom says to him I see him look me up and down I know I am short, but I do not think I am that bad he nods and walks up to me "Let do this I have to get back to work" he says damn him even his voice is sexy Wait he is going back to work after this he does not know anything about me, he does not want to get to know me. He takes my hand and it fits perfectly in his. I would not think it would since my hands are so much smaller than his but no it fits perfectly. He pulls me along until we are standing in front of what looks like a judge "You will sign here and here" he shows me. Taking the pen, he hands me I do what he has asked of me not thinking what is happening right now just going with the flow sounds stupid but that is what I am doing. I do not want to make him mad at all, maybe later but not now. Once I have signed, he signs next and he says, "Thank you for doing this today I want this filed by the end of the day and a copy sent over to me no later than tomorrow morning" he lets the what looks like a judge know and he just nods his head "Yes Sir it will be taken care of nothing to worry about" he gives me a small smile and walks away. "Now Monica You will go with a couple of my guys to pick up everything from your mother’s house then you will go to our home. I will see you later tonight and we will talk" He tells me as he starts to walk out of the room. I am standing there not sure what just happened my now husband just left me on our wedding day I now have to go and pick up everything alone and he wants to talk to me tonight what the hell have I gotten myself into why I listened to my mom I mean it’s not like we have ever been that close I mean I moved out as soon as I turned 18. Getting to my mom’s house I did not see her. She was not at the courthouse when I came out of the room. It was only the two men my now husband has left to watch me. I pack up everything I need: some clothes, pictures, my laptop and work ID. I am not quitting my job now. I worked hard for that job, I also grabbed my phone and all the chargers I am going to need. "I have everything I need just these two bags." I let the blond hair one knows I still do not know their name. I do need to ask them. "Yes, ma'am I will take that for you let’s get back to the car and we will take you to your home" "Thank You ummm I do not know your name or what to call you" I say "Yes, ma'am my name is Paul, you can call me by my name if you wish" he lets me know "Okay good thank you Paul" I tell him back We get back in the car. I see Paul put my stuff in the back of the car and the other guy starts up the car. "I am sorry what is your name" I has him He gives me a small smile and says "You can call Cam" I nod my head okay they go by Paul and Cam. We drive what feels like hours I even end up falling asleep "Ma'am we are here you can wake up now" Paul says to me "okay I am up I am awake, and you can call me Monica I do not mind" I tell him "You might not mind but boss will" he says, and I just nod my head at him Getting out of the car I see the house not just any house but the biggest house I have ever seen. Does my husband have money? Wow, I definitely feel out of place here coming from a 2-bedroom apartment to this is an upgrade? I stop and look at the house more. The outside is white with black shutters with pillars on both sides of the front door, the trees line the driveway and it has pavers until the stone for the steps and front porch. I keep looking around until Paul pulls me back. "Ma'am would you like to go in or stay outside all day?" he asks with a smile on his face. I must look crazy just standing out here. Really, have I been out here that long for him to say to me "I am coming just taking everything in this place is really big and so pretty " walking inside is much more beautiful than the outside. The colors are off white and everything is super clean, nothing looks out of place. "Right this way I will show you to your room" I just follow behind him and he takes me up the stairs. They are marble white with gray going through it. Going all the way to the top he opens double doors and says "This is where you and boss will stay, your stuff has been put away plus the stuff boss has asked to be picked up for you" I look at him confused. Eric got me stuff already. How did he know my size? I look at the time on my phone and see it is seven at night already. " Can I get something to eat if that is not too much to ask" "Sure, I can have something brought up to you or if you want, I can show you the kitchen" he says "I would like to see the kitchen please." I let him know Following him back downstairs passing the front door we start to walk down a hallway. We pass a seating room no TV in that room just some place to set the chairs and couch are gray but a dark gray, the next room we pass is a living room this room looks like home it has a big black couch that is lather and has chairs to match next to it and a two-person couch as well, the TV on the wall is the biggest I have ever seen. Then he keeps walking down the hallway. The other doors are shut right now until we reach another door straight ahead of him. He pushes open a swing door and we walk through it. It is the kitchen and when I say it is amazing, I am not lying to you of course there is white cabinets white tiles under the cabinets. All the appliances are black, and the floor is hardwood. The dark color has a small table close to the window and it looks over the back yard view. Lot of windows are in this room. I bet when the sun is out it will really make this room bright. I love this place already, just scared of what will happen with my husband. when he gets back, and we have the talk. " Got it I will make myself something to eat, and I think I can find my way back upstairs" I say to him I do not want him to see how I do not know where everything is I would like to look crazy by myself. He nods and walks out of the room leaving me to be alone. I look around at everything in the kitchen and I start to make myself a sandwich with chips and a bottle of water. I take the food I have made and walk over to the small table by the big bay window and even though it is dark outside the lights he has in the backyard really does look pretty. I finish eating, take my plates to the sink and wash everything and put it back where I have gotten it before. Wanting to keep everything clean like how he has it, I notice my new husband Eric is not home, yet I hope he is okay. I don't even know him but still. I make my way back upstairs not seeing Paul or anyone else for that matter. Do not know if I should be worried about that or not. I am used to being alone now but not in a new home. Getting upstairs I look around the room it has a different color then downstairs the walls are gray with one wall a deep dark blue almost a navy blue. There are three doors. I open one and find what must be his closet as only men's suits and clothes are in this room. The next door right beside it is my closet but when I open it, it is filled with all women's clothes from formal clothes to jeans and t-shirts. I see my stuff I bought, and it is nothing he even bought me underwear and shoes and bars he thought of everything I would need. I see some everyday dresses and they are very pretty. After coming out of that room I made sure to grab some clothes to change into. Once I had finished with my shower I walked to the last door and found the bathroom. It is bigger than my old room at my mom’s house. The shower and bathtub are both behind a glass wall. The shower has two shower heads. It is wrapped in white tile with gold color on the door handle to get into the shower. There are two sinks: the base is a dark blue color, the faucets are a gold color as well there are two big mirrors sitting on the countertop. Hard to believe this is now my bathroom. The toilet has its own little room off to the side; the floor is a light grey tile. It does have two rugs in front of the sink and one right side of the shower door. The walls are white. I love this room. I will try out that bathtub another day but right now I just want to take a nice hot shower and get out of my wedding dress or a cheap looking wedding dress I should say. Even though it is nothing special it does have meaning and I will keep it. Maybe one day we will have another wedding and I can wear a big white dress. I finish with my shower and get dressed. I see my toothbrush and I brush my teeth. Coming out of the bathroom I see I am still alone. I pull back the blankets and start to look through different aps and settle on watching a movie. Maybe he will be home soon, I do hope so since I have work tomorrow and do not want to be late. The new boss starts tomorrow and I would hate to start with a bad impression. I must have fallen asleep because I was being woken up by the door opening. He must be back....
