(CHAPTER SIX)
WHAT ARE THOSE EYES FOR?
After staying in the room for sometime, thinking of how to find out the truth. She then decided to call Mary to make her pizza before her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw it was her friend, Mira. She gasped. Why did they have to call now? What will i tell them?.
She then answered.
"Hello?"
She said softly.
"Anna? Is that you? Finally, i reached you. How are you?"
Mira asked.
Anna smiled.
"I am fine..... Um...."
She was cut off.
"Anna! We need to talk to you right now! In the cafeteria! You know why"
Zoey said angrily.
Anna knew she had to tell them. Because it was strange disappearing on your birthday party.
Anna cleared her throat.
"I will be there in a minute"
She said calmly.
"Better!"
Zoey said and hung up.
Anna dressed and came downstairs, she saw Andrew reading some papers on the dinning table.
She came quietly and he looked up at her.
Andrew sighed.
"Here to ask me questions again?"
He asked.
Anna shakes her head.
Andrew raised a brow.
"Then what? And why are you dressed up? Heading somewhere?"
He asked.
Anna nods.
"I.... want to go see my friends....at the cafeteria by the street. So, i wanted your permission"
She said softly.
Andrew shakes his head.
"No"
He said shortly and continued what he was doing.
Anna was shocked, she let out a small laugh.
"Did i make a mistake asking you for permission?"
She said.
Andrew looked at her.
"What?"
He said.
Anna looked at him.
"My friends whom i am talking about is my music partners!"
She said.
Andrew frowned.
"You are musician? Great! Women are cheap liars!"
He said.
Anna gasped.
"That's because you don't go online! That's why you don't know anything about...."
She paused.
Andrew stood up.
"About?"
He asked, wanting her to finish her statement.
Anna looked down.
"I didn't say anything"
She murmurs.
Andrew lips curved into a slight smile.
"You are really getting on my nerves! With your little mouth that wouldn't stay shut!"
He said.
Anna looked up at him.
"Are you calling me a chatty now?!"
Looks away.
"Like father like son"
She frowns.
Andrew chuckles.
"My father knew you too well then. Don't blame me"
He said and sat down.
Anna pouted angrily and he laughed, looking at her in admiration.
"Are you laughing at me?"
Anna asked.
"No. I am happy i made you mad"
Andrew said in laughter.
Anna frowned and turned away, crossing her arms. I can't believe he is happy i am mad and he is even laughing about it.
"I have been meaning to ask. Your name is Anna, right?"
Andrew asked.
"Yes. And you are?"
She asked as she turned to him.
"Andrew. I know it's strange for us not getting to know each other"
Andrew said, looking at her.
"But, i never expected to be married so soon.... as a young man i am"
He sighed and stood up, his eyes never leaving hers.
"You see, my father is not giving us the contract marriage paper yet till we get along with each other. And he doesn't bother if we stay like this forever. All he knows is we are not escaping the deal"
Anna nods.
"So, what are you saying then?"
She asked.
Andrew looked around before looking back at her.
"Let's act like we have finally gotten along with each other, sign the contract marriage paper and get our freedom to go out as we want. This is the reason i can't let you out. My father even instructed our bodyguard to watch us day and night"
He took one step forward.
"Is this what you want?.... Staying indoor for ours?.. Remember you said you are a musician, you would one day go for rehearsal or go to sing. I too is a musician"
He said softly.
Anna thought about it. Signing contract marriage papers? Acting? Freedom? Will she gain from all these?.
Andrew sighed.
"Think about it and let me know your thought"
He said, gathered his papers and left.
Anna watched him leave then sat down on the couch and sighed. What is all this? Are we actors now? What kind of bomdage is this?
She picked her phone and texted her friends.
Anna: "Meet me at this address 'Athens Wilson Street'. I will be outside waiting'.
Then i sent it.
