Untamed

The Kiss

Mitchelle’s POV

I froze immediately Darren’s lips touched mine, but I was able to maintain myself to avoid what happened the last time. He dragged me into the house.

"You are hurting me” I winced in pain.

That didn’t stop him he pushed me on the couch yelling in frustration, He dragged my bag from my hands and was about to hit it on the floor when I yelled in tears.

“Stop please “

I couldn’t hold myself anymore , I allowed my tears rush down heavily on my cheeks. Darren held my bag in the air looking blankly at me. He took a deep breath trying to suppress his anger, he then threw my bag on the floor and rushed off to his Room.

I sluggishly picked myself up I went into my room. Darren is so cold and heartless. Why would somebody have such a bad temper, one minute you act normal and the next you are the devil in human form ..

>>>>>>>

I noticed that since I came here the maids haven’t been around, so I went to the kitchen to make something to eat. Although Darren warned me about moving around his house but I couldn’t help it .

I entered into the kitchen and met Darren cooking I paused for a while then turned around to go back to my room. I couldn’t afford to get in trouble with him again.

"Wait “ He said calmly , I stood still and bowed my head waiting to hear what he has to say.

“ Sorry “ he said lowly .

I kept mute pretending not to have heard what he said ..

“I said I am sorry “ he said again in a more clearer tone .. I nodded my head giving him the impression that I was okay, it’s not like I had an option . I stood there contemplating on telling him why I came to the kitchen or going back to my room .

"Do you mind joining me to eat? I’m done cooking" Darren asked dishing out the food. I looked at him in almost surprise, first of all, I met him in the kitchen cooking and then he is asking me to join him .

In as much as I would have wanted to say no I just couldn’t. I was about to give an answer when my stomach rumbled loudly I held onto my stomach as if telling it to shut up, Darren looked at me and gave a slight smile.

Okay that’s weird, this is the first time I am seeing Darren smile this week. I offered to carry the food to the dining but of course he refused, surprisingly the food he made was delicious ...

"What do you do for a living?" Darren asked me while we both stood up to pack the dishes to the kitchen, I looked at him strangely trying to figure out why he was being nice to me, before answering his question.

"I recently finished business school and was planning to start working in my father’s company to help him bring it to life before this stupid contract came along...." I paused, realizing I was talking loosely with Darren and also insulting his father’s idea of Contract marriage. I looked at Darren to see If there was any sign of anger on his face but there wasn’t and so I completed my statement. "You know the annoying thing is , if not for this goddamn contract I would have settled my issues with my boy...."

I didn’t complete my sentence again when Darren burst out laughing. I looked at him irritatedly, which made him increase his laughter .

"Boyfriend that is probably sleeping with someone right now?" He asked making fun of me .

"We have issues, doesn’t mean he sleeps around with numerous girls." I told him

"You think he loves you and he’s just angry because of the contract?" Darren said bringing up his phone and dialing a number "love doesn’t exist and I might as well be honored to show you."

Darren walked over to the door and asked me to join him. I obeyed him wondering what he was up to this time, he told his driver to take us somewhere .

Initially I thought we were going to a random place but then it dawned on me that we were going to my boyfriend Drake's place, I looked at him expecting him to give me an explanation but of course, Darren ignored me. We got to Drake's house, he asked me to step down and go inside the house without knocking. I did as I was told, I entered inside the sitting room but couldn’t find anyone there, curious as to why the door was open and no one was in the sitting room I decided to check around the house .

I walked along the Corridor, heading to Drake's room when I heard noises coming out from the room. I stood for a second, took a deep breath and opened the door.

Drake was on top of a lady banging her while they were both moaning and screaming each other’s name. They were so engaged in what they were doing and didn’t notice my presence .

"Drake!" I yelled in tears "So you have been cheating on me all this while, and using the contract as an excuse.." I yelled again and threw the belt I saw on the floor on him.

The lady he was sleeping with used her clothes to cover her self ,while Josh used the duvet to wrap around his body.

“Mitch “ Drake called coming close to me .

"You disgust me" I yelled at him and ran off.

I entered inside Darren's car and banged the door in anger.

"See, I told you, love doesn’t exist" he said smiling evily at me. I tried holding my tears in order not to embarrass myself but I couldn’t. I burst out in tears.

...........

"You are disturbing my ears with your noise and I guess by now you understand how the world works. Love does not exist" he said and went inside the house. I came down from the car along with Darren’s driver he patted me on the back and whispered into my ears.

"He is not worth it, not to go against my boss but, love exists and I am a living testimony, happily married to my wife and beautiful children ; he said smiling .

I smiled back and nodded my head .

"Thank you sir.”

.

.

.

"Now that you are done crying, get ready, we have places to go right now and you will be resuming work by tomorrow as a representative for your father’s company, in my company, so get ready .

"I am to resume work tomorrow and I wasn’t informed?" I asked frowning.

"Are you questioning me?" Darren fired back, I took a deep breath and went upstairs to change ..

Here I was thinking Darren will be nice to me from today onwards .. "phewww" I hissed

His driver dropped us in a studio. Two ladies walked up to me, one was a stylist , while the other one was in charge of my make up. I was wondering why we had to take pictures but it was stated in the contract so I dare not complain.

I mean everyone will want to see wedding pictures to believe we are both married .

"You look stunning" one of the ladies told me

"Thank you" I blushed.

They were not lying, I really did look good. I looked at myself in the mirror satisfied with how I look . The ladies walked me back to the studio, Darren sat waiting patiently for me, one would think he was actually a nice person. He walked closer to me gazing directly at me, I felt goosebumps all over me... Why was he looking at me like that? He took a step closer to me and whispered in my ears

"Even with make up on, you are still ugly."

I forced a smile pretending not to have been affected by his words. The photographer came closer to position Darren and I, he placed Darren’s hands on my waist and asked me to raise my face looking directly into Darren’s eyes. My heart beats increased while I looked into his eyes, I realized that Darren had a beautiful eyes. The photographer asked us to kiss each other and then I knew I was in trouble ...

“Geez”

No emotions attached to it I told myself. Darren moved his face closer and placed his lips on mine. I froze for a moment, but then I closed my eyes, I didn’t realize when I wrapped my hands around his waist and deepened the kiss. His lips felt so soft and tender, I couldn’t help both enjoy the moment.

Lost in my own world of fantasy, I felt my butt on the floor, it was then it dawned on me what just happened.

"What the hell did I just do !!” I muttered to myself.

My eyes and Darren locked he looked at me blankly giving no form of emotions I looked away in embarrassment. It felt like the ground should open up a swallow me.

Darren Stretched forth his hands pretending he did not push me intentionally.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What the hell was that about!" Darren yelled, "I already told you not to come close to me and you had the guts to kiss me."

"I....i....It wasn’t intentional, I was trying to make the picture look real" I replied feeling embarrassed.

"I don’t blame you anyway, women will always be women, you all are just bunch of hoes looking for who to fall into your dubious trap Darren said irritatingly and tried to walk away.

I dragged him with my left hand and give him a resounding slap,

"Don’t you dare say such to my face ever again" I yelled and ran off to my room
