It was late and dark when they arrived at Jeremy's mansion. Kyla could still figure out how massive the mansion was. After getting out of the car, Jeremy led the way to the door of the mansion. Before opening the doors, he turned to look at her. His eyes were lowered as she was quite short. She was at his shoulder length.
" My mom won't believe any of this drama," he said roughly and she raised her head to look at him teary eyed. " But you have to make her believe we've been in love for a while, and are still in love."
Kyla sniffed and nodded gently. Then he opened the doors. His mom and siblings were seated in the living room. They all looked up when he walked in, with a small lady behind him.
" It's late Jeremy," Kate stated. She stood up and walked up to him. She touched his face and examined him with her eyes. "Where have you been my child. Are you alright?"
" Yes mom," Jeremy replied with a brief smile.
" Who's the lady with you? " Jim asked.
Jeremy flinched a bit then he raised his left hand, revealing his gold ring. Out of impulse, Kyla raised her left hand as well, revealing her gold ring that had a pretty diamond. She felt so small, standing before Jeremy's family. They were simply dressed, but their clothing still spoke of affluence. Their mom was dressed in a peach cotton dress. Her brown hair was partially covered with a black bonnet. The young man Jim, and the lady beside him were in matching blue pyjamas.
Whereas, Kyla was dressed in a faded brown hoodie, and black trousers.
" She is my wife," Jeremy said suddenly.
Kate stepped back a bit. The twins gasped.
" What!" Kim exclaimed. " How's that even possible ?"
" I have been seeing Kyla for two months now. And we are madly in love. "
Jim struggled hold back his laughter, and Kim kicked his left leg.
" You?" Jim mocked. " In love? Bro you are a man of steel. Please say something juicy. "
Kim nodded. " I agree with the i***t. "
Jeremy growled impatiently as he rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger.
His mom stood still, looking at his face intently.
" People can change." Jeremy was taken aback when he heard Kyla speak. But he tried to hide it. Kate was a bit relieved. " Jerry and I are good friends. We feel we are compatible. We were and are happy together and we got married. " Kyla took a deep breath after she was done lying.
Kim bent slightly to whisper to Jim. " I don't know about them being in love. But I'm sure they make a good acting team. "
Jim nodded in agreement, " I totally agree sis. "
" So mom," Jeremy continued. " I hope you are now convinced. I'm sorry I got married without your permission. Please stop trying to hook me up with Angela."
Kate was about to speak but Kyla began to whimper gently. " Jerry I'm quite tired. Please take me to the room"
Jerry? Jeremy was indeed surprised by her acting skills. He took her hand and tried to lead her upstairs but she snatched her hand back. Jeremy got scared for a moment. But then Kyla spread her arms out. " My legs hurt. Please pick me up," she pouted.
"What!" He exclaimed.
" Just do it. "
Jeremy noticed the glint in Kyla's eyes, and the curious look in the eyes of his family members. Hesitantly, he swept her off her feet into his arms and took her upstairs to his room. Indeed Kyla's legs hurt. She had been walking all day, and the previous night. Being in his arms, she felt relaxed and relieved. When they got to the door, she helped him turn the nob. He got in, she closed the door and he put her down.
" Why did you do that? " Jeremy asked.
" Wasn't that what you wanted? " Kyla replied nonchalantly. " Do you have a problem with it. Or no, hold on. I get it. You always want to be on the lead. Calling the shots. Bossy you! "
Jeremy closed her mouth with his left palm. She was quite loud. He held her mouth tightly and brought his lips closer to her ear and whispered. " Never ever raise your voice at me. And yes, I'm the boss here, and so I'll call the shots. I don't want you overacting. Is that understood?"
He removed his hand roughly from her mouth, pushing her head backward a bit. Kyla felt terrified. Her eyes welled up with tears.
" Is that understood?" Jeremy growled authoritatively.
Kyla managed to nod and her tears rolled down her cheeks. She was indeed frightened.
Jeremy locked the door with his keys. Without looking at her, he walked to his closet, got out a new towel and one of his pyjamas.
"Take it," he said stretching them towards her. She took it with shaky hands. " That's the bathroom over there. Take a bath and get changed."
Kyla nodded and walked towards the direction he pointed at. After she had shut the bathroom door behind her, she leaned on the door and slid down slowly until she was squatting. She folded her arms, placed them on her knees and buried her head in them as she began to sob gently. Memories of her sister flooded her mind and her body quivered. Suddenly, she stopped crying. She got up and wiped her tears. An idea had come to her mind. She knew just how to make the best out of her situation. She might be timid, but she was smart. She took off her hoodie and then her trousers. She was left with a black bra and panties. She walked to the mirror in the bathroom, and stood there staring at her reflection. She took of her bra and she felt a chill run down her spine causing her peach coloured n*****s to stand erect. She had a really nice petite shape. She couldn't recall standing before a mirror naked. She never had a mirror in the bathroom. In addition to that, she had never taken note of her shape because she was always dressed in baggy clothes. She loosed her brown hair from its pony tail and let it fall down her shoulders. Her hair was dry and brittle. She felt a bit ugly but her icy blue eyes, long lashes, love shaped lips and petite shape were amazing. She took a deep breathe before taking off her panties.
His pyjamas was really large on her. Her hands were hidden, and the hem of the pyjamas pants swept the floor. Jeremy was sitting on the couch in the large room. He had changed his clothes and he looked fresh. He had secretly taken his bath in the bathroom attached to the guest room downstairs.
" What took you so long," he asked impatiently. " I've been waiting. "
" I was really dirty, so I took a lot of time scrubbing. " Indeed, she had scrubbed so hard that some parts of her body had turned red.
Jeremy sighed. " Whatever. You'll sleep on the bed, while I sleep here. Please get on the bed, I have to turn off the lights."
Kyla quietly got on the bed. She was about to cover herself with the quilt, when he said, " Have you taken a piss? I don't want you doing that on the bed."
Kyla cleaned her mouth with her left hand and pulled the quilt over her head. He was very disrespectful.
Bright light shone on her face. She tried to squeeze her eyes open as she stretched out her arms. It was morning already. The sun rays flooded the room through the white linen-cotton drapes. It was a beautiful sight. She looked to her left, Jeremy was fast asleep on the couch. He appeared tired. She wondered what he did throughout the night. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She knew if she opened it, whoever it was would see Jeremy on the couch. She quickly jumped out of the bed and hurried to his side. She raised her hand to touch him but he grabbed her wrist and opened his eyes. Like he had been awake the whole time.
" I thought you weren't smart," he said in a husky voice.
"So you were awake the whole time?" Kyla whispered back staring at him with disbelief.
"Get back on the bed."
She obediently did as he bid. But immediately she laid down, he got on the bed and laid down beside her, pulling her close to himself. She trembled visibly but he paid no attention to her.
"Who the hell is it," he asked directing the question to the person at the door.
Kate pushed the door open and looked inside the room. She observed the entire room and said nothing. "Hurry up Jeremy. You have to accompany me for shopping this morning."
"The hell," Jeremy exclaimed as he let go of Kyla who was pretending to be asleep and sat up on his bed. " But I have to be at the office mom.".
"Take a day off. It's sport day at Ivan's school and you have to attend that too."
With that, she shut the door and walked away.
