Hi kitties
Steven
"Fine, you all come, then we will talk about it" I said and sighed. I hung up the call. I rubbed my temple and looked at the ceiling.
I guess I really need them for the time being.
It has been one week since we got married, without getting to know each other, and right now we still feel as if we are strangers who have different worlds and it is hard to say whether their worlds can collide or not.
I sat up and shook my head.
What am I even thinking?
What I was trying to say previously, was that we still are not on good terms to even speak to each other. We rarely talk. In the past, I believed that I would marry the person whom I would love wholeheartedly, but right now my life has become a part of a joke. I closed my eyes and saw a little girl and then opened them.
Wishing for something to come true is really hard when God has other plans. Well, back to the topic.
This is not what my problem is. I can’t describe what I am feeling for her, but one thing I am sure about is that I don’t like her as well, so maybe I hate her and that is the fate of her that she can never ever get my love and I think this hate will remain like this only.
The problem is my parents and grandparents are coming along with my siblings and they will stay over here for a while. Though I want them to visit us, I don't want grandpa to be sad. I know that he has made me get into this marriage, but I still love him and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I rubbed my temple as I was thinking about how to tell her about my family's arrival.
Will she be comfortable when I tell her this? How would she react? Wait ... .wait a minute. Why do I care about her feelings? They are my parents and as long as they want, they can visit me and can stay here. Why would she be having any problem with that? She had gotten married to me, then she should be able to take care of my family.
My thoughts were broken in between when I heard footsteps and I followed them and found Nicole aka my wife coming downstairs. Last time I went into the room, she was still sleeping. Finally, the princess woke up. I checked the time and it was already 9 in the morning. This is her time to wake up? Big hands for Nicole Miller as she finally showed up from her beauty sleep. She was still in her PJ; I am guessing that today is Sunday. Maybe that's why. She looked cute. Wait, what am I thinking? In one week, I had already thought that she was looking cute. What is going on with me? I sighed and watched her action. She went into the kitchen and came out with her food and was about to sit on the dining table, but when she looked at me, she came towards me and stood in front of me, then sat across from me, which made me wonder for a while about her actions.
"Why are you tense?" She asked me. My family is coming to meet us and our relationship is not even going well and this is the tension and a big one.
"None of your business," I said to her and looked away from her. She was eating her food in front of me only while crossing her legs on the sofa and sitting comfortably while eating her breakfast.
"But your face doesn't say that. It is saying someone is coming and you are tense about it." She said and I was shocked. How does she know that someone is coming? I sighed. Is she an astrologer?
"Stop thinking stupid things. From which angle do I look like an astrologer? I am reading your face, which is like an open book and nothing else. I am a normal person like you and others." She said and took a bite of her food. I shake my head. She is really an expert at reading faces.
"Have some water and tell me clearly." She passed me water and I looked at her and then water and then again looked at her, she gave me a confused face before I took the glass of water and gulped it down my throat.
"My family is coming." I said simply.
"What?" She said and almost choked on her food. I kind of expected her reaction of this type only.
"My family is coming." I said. Even though I don't like to repeat myself, but because of this woman whom I hate in front of me made me repeat my words. Just great. She put her dish down, which was finished by now. I haven't even had my breakfast yet.
"Oh that's really good news. Do you want me to do something?" She said excitedly. I swear I didn't expect this reaction like this. I did think about many things other than this.
"No need. Our maids will do the work," I said, and her excitement dropped.
"No problem. Have you had your breakfast yet?" She asked me. I gave her a look before I looked away.
"None of your concern," I said, and she looked at me.
"Can't you put your arrogant attitude and hate at bay for one day?" She asked me.
"No I can't. I hate you from my heart even if I am alive or dead. It is none of your business." I almost yelled at her.
"It is my business. We are both tied up in a knot called marriage and even if you don't want to keep it, then no problem. But I have to fulfill my duties as a wife." She said, and I looked at her. What’s up with her today? Did she just call herself my ‘wife’?'Wife' doesn't suit her. She stood up from her place and went somewhere, as I didn't bother to look where she had gone. After a few minutes, she came back and placed a tray in front of me which was having my breakfast. I didn't bother to look at who had brought it. Because I know who brought it. I just lost my appetite over there.
"Steven, I would prefer that you didn't act like a kid and I also haven't made the food. It is made by Eva. So there is no chance that I have put poison in it." She said, and I gave her a look. She sat up across from me and took the newspaper and started to read it. I looked at the food, debating whether to eat it or not, but my stomach gave me the answer and then started to have breakfast. It was really delicious. I finished my breakfast.
"Do you have the love of your life?" She asked me and folded the newspaper and looked at me. Isn’t that a question out of the blue? Like we were just fighting a minute ago and now you are back to what you were doing? Were we even fighting?
"I think I have already clarified that it is none of your business. I will settle my problem on my own." I snapped at her.
"Fine, fine, I was just asking you. I won't intrude into your life from now on. You don't have to shout." She said.
"Do you have any?" I asked her even though I had expected that she would provide me with the same answer as mine.
"No, and I don't think that any person can tolerate my attitude." She said, and I was thinking about what attitude she was talking about. Well, leaving that aside, she was once again surprised at what I was expecting.
"Hmm..." I just hummed and then we heard the doorbell and I kind of knew who would have come. I saw one of the maids make her way to the door and opened the door and it revealed my parents. I quickly got up from my seat and went to hug them.
"How are you son?' My mom asked me.
"I am good after seeing you guys," I said and smiled more.
I looked at Nicole and she looked sad. It is clear that she doesn't like my family. Then why was she putting up the mask of being happy? I looked at her and decided to take revenge and would make her life hell. She should know the perks of marrying Steven Collins.
