Marriage without Dating

She was met with a pair of ocean blue eyes with thick eyelashes followed by a pair of plump lips. She noticed that his chiseled jawline could cut through anything and her eyes roamed freely all over his disheveled dark hair. He was wearing a grey suit, all neat and her eyes flickered as she looked at his eyes, those eyes that were filled with desire, which made her heart race uncontrollably. He sure looked sexy and hot on his arrogant self. She came out of her trance immediately feeling mortified to be checking out her enemy. " Are you done checking me out? this artwork emanated in 1983, do you want it"? For a moment she was lost as to what he was saying. "Excuse me?, No I don't!. She said immediately she realized he was talking about himself. "So annoying", she thought to herself. He chuckled leaning against her desk, bringing her face closer to him, she swallowed hard. "You would want it, but you would beg for it", he said grinning. He let her go and walked away. Ugh…she gruntled "I hate him so much, so full of himself. I can't believe I'm entangled with him…. 3 months ago ********** Argh, stop it!!!" Katherine groaned out loud, with her eyes still shut. She stretched out her hand trying to grab the alarm and shut it off but it ended up falling on the floor with a loud thud. "Geez," she said getting up, fully awake. She picked up the alarm, checking if it got faulty from the fall. Satisfied that it was still good. She made for her door and went downstairs. "Oh my God! You scared me. that was Jordan, for the love of God can you fix yourself, you look a mess. I'm so tired of you. He said laughing. "Shut up you moron," she said throwing a pillow from the couch at him. "You guys bicker a lot. mum was saying. Settle down for breakfast" She sat down rolling her eyes on her brother, he stuck out his tongue to her. "Have you gotten a call from the company you applied for since then"? "No Mom, she said sulking" I hope they call me, it's been a week now. " Their loss if they don't", Mom said encouragingly. Katherine smiled. "Alright I need to head up now, I've got some work to finish" "Alright honey, take it easy on yourself " She took a cookie from her plate and made for her room "Don't forget to wash your hair, I couldn't finish Mom's cooking because of the smell" he said teasingly "Shut up, you're on your last cookie" "Whatever"! "What? Mum" "Give your sister a break" "Alright let's check out the trend" She scrolled up and down on her laptop looking for current fashion trends, then settled in on a fashion show. Katherine has always loved fashion, her dream had been to own her clothing agency, one that would be known all over the world, but it was dashed when they lost their money when she was in high school. She had resorted to jobs that could be of help to her family since then. She knew fashion, but she didn't wear them herself or dress up, always baggy which in her opinion, she was "comfy" in. It hadn't always been like that, she was popular in high school as she always knew the latest trends. Had it not been for her friends she wouldn't have applied for the biggest clothing company, she didn't think they would accept her, it was a hotshot company with hotshot employees, so why would they pick someone like her, so she had submitted her C.V passively and moved on with the belief that they wouldn't call her. Although she hoped they would. After that incident in high school, their lives weren't the same anymore. "Oh my! What is Stacey wearing, what's that on her head, Shouldn't she just learn from Selena?.... I'm sure Selena would win this, no one here but her is gonna win this. You all need the fashion police. Ha ha ha, she laughed wholeheartedly. "Let me run to Mr. MILLS, I need a coffee and burger for this. She left for Mr. MILLS. On getting there she was relieved that the queue wasn't as much as usual maybe it was because it was Friday. She joined the queue and waited for her turn. "I'm tired, I need to go pick my son up from school….it's been such a tiring day. Yes I'm in the place, he loves MILL's burgers". She overheard the phone call of the woman at her back. A few minutes later, he strutted in, looking fine as hell, all eyes were on him. "The usual Ruth" "Sure Mr. Liam She stormed to him "I believe you've got eyes and you can see a queue behind you" He was a bit taken aback "I believe you're not talking to me, Miss Pyjamas" he looked at her in disdain "Here Sir" As he reached for the coffee She grabbed it from her and threw it at him "You should learn some manners, you're not the only busy person here, get off your high horse" she stormed off He looked at her in anger, his suit ruined. He clenched his fists his brows furrowed and stared at her in disbelief. "What a jerk, who the hell does he think he is, he should be thankful the drink didn't get on his face"! "Woah, what's wrong Kath? did you lose your crush to someone" "Not now Dan" She grabbed some cookies from the counter and went to her room "I will just have this" She settled on her chair and checked on the show, and it was at that moment that the results were announced "I knew it, Selena won!!!" She raced around her room, laughing, screaming and singing. "She's at it again" he shook his head Later on that day, Katherine went over to her friend's place. "He's so annoying, if you see the way he sauntered in like he owns the world, such a hypocrite, he should have just joined the queue geez" She was recounting what happened earlier to her friends. "Oh my, I wish I was there, I always love to see your dramas," Mira said They all laughed "That reminds me, have you heard from the company yet?" Vanessa asked her "Nope, I haven't, I told you guys that it was just a waste of time, they wouldn't accept me". She said putting up a smile "Aww don't be like that, I'm sure they will," Mira said "Yeah they will, they're probably still reviewing your C.V., you know what? we're going out tonight, there's a new bar opening tonight, let's go have some fun and relieve our selves this tension!!, she shrieked with excitement "Ugh, not again Vanny, we went last week," Katherine said with a killer look "Girl that was last week, this is new week, come on don't be a killjoy". "Yeah Vanny is right, let's go" Mira added "Alright hold on, let me call home and tell them I will be sleeping here tonight" "Yeah"!!! They both chorused in excitement. "What do you mean"? "I'm not asking for your permission Mister, just relate the message to Mom, I can't reach her " "So who's going to stay with me then"? "I don't get it, you're not 5 Dan, find something" "I won't relate your message to Mom, I will tell her you're at your boyfriend's house" "Oh you won't dare" "Oh, I… She hung up "Geez that boy drives me nuts" "Don't talk about my cutie in that way" Vanessa said "You talk like he's 5, your "cutie" is 23 remember," she said laughing "Give him a break, you guys always fight like couples," Mira said "Enough guys, let's choose clothes that would look sexy on us, "Vanessa said excitingly AT HEMSWORTH "Stupid i***t"! He flinched his jacket on the sofa "Man, you need to….. What happened Big man, why are you angry"? "I've never been so humiliated in my entire life, can you believe some lunatic threw a coffee at me? "What? He started laughing, oh my who is this "Lunatic?" "Nothing is funny bro, she had better pray she doesn't come my way in this life, 'cause she would see hell"! Johnny still couldn't suppress his laughter as he let it roll uncontrollably "Mahn, I haven't seen you this angry for a long time, who's this woman that has made you this way" "Shut up man, so what's it? You were saying something earlier". "Yeah right, here, he gave him a handout "What's this"? "That's for the recruitment of your secretary, we're getting you a new one, so look at it now and select one" "Give me a moment then" " Okay Boss" Johnny sat down on the sofa awaiting his decision, after a few minutes "Hmm, this C.V. is not bad, here. That's the one" he said handing it over to him. "Alright then, I'll make the call now, excuse me" And yes, Johny turned to look at him "Don't forget we have somewhere to be tonight, we can't miss it" "I remember " ********* "Alright we're set, let's head out," Vanessa said clapping her hands in excitement She loves these things, it gives her immense joy. They booked their ride and left for the venue. "Oh my, I guess I needed this after all. Katherine said giggling "Told ya" Vanessa responded "Alright, girls let's go and drop it!!! Woohoo "Argh, I detest places like this, you're the reason I'm here, we won't stay long John" "Okay kill-joy, let's go in and greet him first" The trio got so immersed in their dance, it was all good, the environment was full of vibes, all lit….and they seemed to be having so much fun. "Shake it till you drop it, girl!!!, Vanessa was clapping in excitement "Oh my goodness a hottie is checking you out, Kath" "What?! I can't hear you!! " I said a hottie is checking you out!! She stood looking in the direction of the person "You again"!!
