Married to the Unpredictable Man

Chapter V

Amelia's POV

We got back to his house and I spent my whole evening watching TV shows. I really miss home. I miss my dad and Catherine. I miss waking up early to go to school. I miss making my assignments and reviewing for exams. I miss my old life. My simple and happy life. Now I'm stuck with a man I don't even know that well.

"Amelia would you like some brownie?" Susan asked. "I'd love that, susan. Did you baked it?" I asked. "Yes dear, I really love baking" she said as she gave me a plate of brownie. I took the first bite and I can say this is one of the best brownie I had in my entire life. "Mr. Hayes love sweets as well" she said while I'm busy munching on my brownies

"Really? I didn't think he's a man who will like eating sweets" I commented. "You have a lot to learn about him" she just said

"Uhm Susan, can I ask you a question?" I say contemplating whether its my place to ask. But he will soon be my husband right? "What is it?" She asked. "Does he usually go home with girls---you know its fine if you don--"

"Yes, but he never had a serious relationship" she said cutting me off. I just nodded in response.

"By the way, thank you for the brownies" I said forcing a smile. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. But I know we surely don't have a so cold relationship but at least he can respect that I will soon be his wife and I'm not comfortable seeing him with different girls.

Just the thought of it made me cringe. What happens next after we get married? Will I be forced to stay with him in the same room? Are we going to act like a real husband and wife?

I continue watching until I find the courage to call my dad. After a few rings he answered "Hello, Amelia" he said. I can feel the sadness in his voice. "Hello, Daddy. I missed you so much. How are you doing? Did you drink your medicines?" I heard him chuckle "Yes sweety, don't think too much about me. I'm fine. How about you?" He asked "I'm fine dad, Susan is cooking so much food and I feel like the next time you see me I'll be as fat as a cow" I said and we laughed together. After a few seconds "How about Mr. Hayes? Is he treating you right?" He asked. "He don't usually talk to me and I think he's busy because he's not usually home dad"

We talked for almost an hour. I talked about the wedding planning and how I love the beach here. I asked him if maybe I can call Catherine but dad said maybe another time because we don't want her to get in trouble as well. I bid goodbyes and he told me he will find time to visit me. I know how busy he is right now because of the bombing and I don't want to add up to his burden.

I was about to put some of the brownies I didn't finish in the kitchen when the front door burst open and there I saw Lucas enter with another girl beside him. He looked at me for a while but averted his gaze to the girl beside her. "Who is she?" She asked

"Don't mind her" he just answered coldly and they go up to his room. I don't know why but I felt pain struck through me. I'm not sure if its because he can't even acknowledge my presence or because of the girls he's been with for the past nights.

As I passed through his room I heard the girl with him giggle. I just sigh. Don't mind them, I told myself. I entered my room and hop on the shower. After putting on my pyjamas I decided to stay at the balcony for a while. I looked up at the stars "Mom how are you? I wished you were here with me. I'm all alone now" I mumble

After hours of just sitting there I decided to go to bed.

.......

I got up later that morning. I checked on the clock and its already 10 am. Maybe its better, I won't have to see Lucas and his girl during breakfast. I showered and decided to wear a simple white dress that stops right above my knee.

I entered the kitchen and saw Lucas sitting with a man who is familiar. Someone's unlucky today, I mumble to myself "Good morning beautiful" he said playfully

I smiled and greeted him back "Good morning" I said. "I want to introduce myself again, I'm Rafael. Lucas' best friend" he said. Ohh he's the one I met the other day. He offered his hand and I accepted it "Amelia" I said with a small smile.

"Lucas is so lucky to have a fiancée like you" he said. If only you knew. "Why don't you just marry me instead?" He said with a playful smile. We both laughed "Can the both of you stop flirting in front of me?" Lucas coldly say without looking at us. He is focused on the newspaper in his hand. Says the man who's been spending his nights with different girls.

"What do you want to eat Amelia?" Susan asked. "I just want to have my coffee Susan. Can you just serve it in the balcony?" I asked. "Sure" she said before getting a mug. "Want some company? I'm not that busy" Rafael said "that will be great" I replied with a smile.

Aside from Susan I don't really have someone whom I can talk to since I got here. Rafael seems to be friendly unlike Lucas. Sometimes I wonder why he is like that.

We sat in the balcony facing the pool. It is massive but I still prefer the beach. "So how was your stay here?" He asked "Good, but I miss home" I forced a smile

"As much as I want to visit you often, you see Lucas is a really jealous man" he said laughing "I doubt that, he doesn't have the reason to feel jealous" I said laughing "and why is that?" He asked and I just shrugged

"How old are you? You seemed so young" he said "I'm 19, turning 20" I replied as Susan came with my coffee "thank you Susan" I said and she smiled at me brightly. "How about you? Are you the same age with him?" I asked. "Yes, we actually go to the same school since elementary" so that's how they became friends. "But we have different personalities" he added "That I can see" I said chuckling

We shared stories until we heard someone clear his throat from behind "We have to go" he said coldly. "I'll be going, it was nice meeting you Amelia" he said. "The pleasure is mine" I replied "til next time" he said and winked. I laughed at his cockiness and replied "til next time, Rafael"

Lucas POV

I've been watching the both of them laughing together and I don't like the sight of it. I don't have plan on leaving today but I need Rafael to go so I decided we drop by the office and I'll leave him there.

The past days I've been with different girls but I can't take her out of my mind. I wanted to touch those angelic face but I can't do that. I can't let my emotions take over me. She will be my wife and that's it. I can't be attached to her.
