Unforseen Love

"Ohh it's that dream again". All I see is darkness, and chains that bind me,I can't move, I can't speak and I find no peace. Starving and being alone in this cramped space, "Where did she go?,"she left me all alone. The bruises on my legs stings the minute I move. "Chains!" This happens the minute I close my eyes. The darkness sucks me in, emptiness fills me… I become a being of nothingness. "You!". Tears roll down, as I'm reminded of the past. The light I saw in the blank void, the hand that dragged me to the light.I don't want to lose you. "Even if you no longer love me, give me the chance to show you". I went on my knees. "I love you Jasmine and I can't do without—". Sorry it took me this long to realize how much you mean to me. Josh P.O.V It's a regular party at the Brown's residence, I'm served a glass of wine as I walked in. "Ohh Josh,you finally came," Mother approaches me with a man tagging behind her. "Is this your son?," he asked. My mother gave a bright smile "Yes he is,isn't he handsome?," "I must agree with you Mrs Brown,he is quite handsome," "I'm Nelson Blue,"The man said,stretching forth his hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you Mr Nelson,I'm Josh Brown," I said,faking a bright smile and ignoring his hand. I took a sip of my wine, it's a bit bitter yet hot with a sweet aftertaste,I smiled taking another sip "Is the wine to your taste?," Mr Nelson asked. "Yes it is," "Do you have a date," the man presses further with his questions. "No he doesn't," Mother says. "What a coincidence, my daughter doesn't have a date either," he gives off a loud laugh placing his hand on my shoulder. "I heard your daughter is really beautiful,"Mother says. "She really is,she got her beauty from her mother, " "My son is single,why don't you introduce her to us"mother tilts her head a bit as she winks at me. It's so obvious what she's trying to do. "Isn't that a Splendid idea,let me go get her," He scurries off in search for his daughter. I took another sip of the savoury wine. "Will you just stop drinking for a while,make sure you win her heart" Mother says. "Mum,I've told you I'm not ready for marriage, stop setting me up,". "But I need a daughter-in-law and a cute grandchild,"She smiles "But mother—,". The man came back alone. "Where's your daughter?," mother asked "She's having a short meeting with some investors,she'll be here in a minute," "Hi daddy," A lady approaches us with a very bright smile, such elegance as she walks,I must admit she's a beauty. "This is my daughter Jasmine," Mr Nelson addresses her "Nice to meet you,I'm Josh Brown the CEO Of Safe Airlines,". "My pleasure meeting you," She shakes my hands I took another sip of wine. "Seems you love my wine," her eyes widened waiting for my response. "Your wine?," I asked. "Yes,I'm the vice chairman of Blue-dorm,I made this very wine," she smiles. How can such a calming smile exist?. "I must agree with you it's a great wine,you captured the bittersweet taste and making it retain a warm sensation,"I said. She nods. "I'm glad you love it,". I looked around and noticed my mum and Mr Nelson left. "Seems they set us up," She says with a stern look. "My mother always does this," I laughed to lighten the mood. My phone rings. "Excuse me,I have to take this call," I picked up. JOSH: HELLO ALISA: HEY BABY. JOSH: HOW ARE YOU DOING,CAN WE MEET TONIGHT?. ALISA: I'M MISSING YOU,ALOT. JOSH: SHOULD I COME OVER AND MAKE MY PRINCESS HAPPY?. ALISA: NO,I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY AT YOUR FAMILY'S PARTY,BYE BABY...she hung up. "Seems you have a girlfriend already,I'm sorry I overheard" Jasmine says,with an innocent look. "Yeah I do,just can't show her to my family yet,". "Do you want to get married?," "Huh,yeah I do,". "Let me phrase it well,do you want to get married to me?,". she says, with a slight frown and her eyes concentrated on mine. "Huh?, I just told you I have a girlfriend,". "I heard,but you said you can't show her to your family yet,actually I'm giving out a proposal i need a husband for a couple of months,". I gave a confused look. "Didn't you say you can't show your girlfriend to your family a while ago?,and your mother clearly wants you married as soon as possible?,". "I think you're misunderstanding the situation, what would you gain from marrying me in the first place?". "Power," she gives off a slight laugh and returns to her usual face. Is she a psychopath?. "I'm sorry but I must decline,". "Fine,if that's your decision but if you ever change your mind contact me," She walks way unfazed. Such an interesting lady,I can see through her. She actually doesn't want to get married to me. The Next morning. I woke up to see Jasmine by my side, how the hell did I end up here?,waiting for her to wake up. She slowly opens her eyes. "You're finally awake" I said "I told you I'm not getting married to you and you drugged me into sleeping with a slutty lady like you" I said,walking towards her. "Ohh it's you Josh," she says with a smiling face. Did she plan all these? "Let me clear things up,if your plan is to get me married to you by sleeping with me, it won't work,". "I didn't plan this, I was drugged—,". "Drugged?, you expect me to believe that,?" i said "I also don't know how I got here believe me Josh" I walked out in anger. Met my mother in the dining. "Good morning," she smiles with a food plate in her hands. "What happened last night?, why was she beside me?," "Enough questions, let's have breakfast together, it's been a while you've slept over,". "No mum, I'll eat breakfast at my house,". "Nothing happened between us last night, I have to go to work,let her know" I told my mum as I walked away. "I have to get what happened out of my head,". I decided to surprise Alisa at the fashion industry,I met her talking with some other associates,I walked towards her. She sees me. "Ohh baby!!,"she hugs me. "Hi darling,missed me?,". "Yes I do,so how was the party last night?," she said as she walks towards her office,I followed her. "Boring,as expected," I said i leaned in to get a kiss from her. "Awwn!,sorry that I couldn't make it,I was just so busy with work"she said as she readjusts my tie. "Well,I came over here to talk to you about something important,"I said to her. "Important?," her eyes widened. I slowly got on one knee, "I've been wanting to ask you this,I love you so much Alisa that my whole life revolves around you,I want to spend my whole life with you,till we grow old,till the day I die, will you marry—?," she interrupts me. "Ohh Josh,yes I'll love to marry you but... I got some things going on right now, can we wait till a year?, just one year,I just signed a contract with Rose Miller,I'll be working with her for a while in Paris,and as a model I can't get married yet it will ruin my career for now, just one year okay darling?" she says as she took the ring from my hand. "But I'll accept the ring in advance after a year,we can plan everything" her phone rings. She picks up the call and walked out without giving me a bit of attention. I waited a bit for her return,I couldn't find her,I took out my phone and called her JOSH: ALISA WHERE ARE YOU?. ALISA: OHH,I TOTALLY FORGOT YOU WERE STILL IN THE OFFICE,I JUST LEFT MY OFFICE NOW,I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO RIGHT NOW, I WILL TALK TO YOU LATER BYEEE... she didn't even allow me to reply she hung up the phone,I left her office and went back to mine,I'm a bit disappointed,I actually thought in my mind she will go crazy and say yes. I couldn't concentrate in the office at all I went back home early, on getting home I met my mother "Mom,what are you doing here?," "Can't I visit my son anymore?," "At least you could have informed me,". "Ohh,so now I need your permission in order to see you,I know you're busy and people needs to make appointments to see you,but not your mother". "Okay mum," I whined. She walks in "Mum,why are you here?"i asked again curiously "Can't I just come to visit you, I miss you," "Mum we literally saw this morning,you've never visited me just because you miss me,you always have a reason to visit," "Looks like you got me,you know me so well,stop being so uptight," she said. "Mum,I'm not uptight,I'm just being business like,". "Well,I came to say you can't marry her," she gazes at me with a slight frown. "Can't marry who?" "Alisa Williams" "How did you know I proposed today?," "Well,you bought a ring last weekend,and you told me very soon this year you'll get married,I noticed you had no interest in Jasmine despite her ravishing beauty,that means you already had a girl in mind," she pauses. "Well it doesn't matter whether you have a girl or not, you're getting married to Jasmine and that's final," "But mum—" "I'm not changing my mind, you know what happened between you two last night," She leaves angrily. "But we didn't do a—" She leaves angrily "Mum,wait!" I followed her out "Why can't I marry Alisa?" "Because She isn't worthy of the Brown's name" She enters he car and drives off.
