Claire’s POV
Claire and Vladimir started at each other.
“Claire, marriage is once in a lifetime. You need to wear a dress for your wedding properly.”
Her dad said.
Claire looked at his dad.
“Yes, Pa, I will.”
“You go with your Vladimir. We will follow you later.”
She smiled at her dad.
“Yes, Sir, the other car will be here any minute now.”
“Okay. You take care of my daughter. We will see you.”
She looked at Vladimir again.
“Let’s go, Claire,” Vladimir said.
He opened the gate and guided her outside.
She said goodbye to her family and walked outside of their house.
She looked back and waved goodbye to her family once more.
After that, she started walking towards the car. She didn’t even bother waiting for Vladimir.
She is now in front of the car. She stopped and contemplated.
Should I do this? Should I marry him even though I know he is in love with someone else?
Even though I know that the woman he is waiting for has returned?
Should I run again?
Claire stopped thinking and sighed.
“Are you thinking of running again?”
She faced Vladimir.
“Yes,”
“Why?”
“Just because,”
“Didn’t we talk about it? Didn’t we agree about it? We even kissed and made up, so why are you thinking that way again?”
Yeah, we just kissed and made up, but that’s it. I know you don’t want to marry me anymore and just want to follow that woman.
“I just thought that you don’t really want to marry me, and it will just waste your time and all.” Claire decided to say.
“Can’t I just give you the child without marrying you? Isn’t the child what you’re after?”
Vladimir looked at her eyes before answering.
“I need to get married and have a child.”
“Oh, okay,”
Claire’s felt that her heart was throbbing. She felt like someone was stabbing her heart mercilessly.
So, that’s the reason why you want to marry me and get custody of the child.
She turned around and tried opening the car’s door when she felt a tear fall from her eyes.
She hurriedly wiped it.
She tried opening the door, but she failed.
“Let me ope—-“
“No! I can do it.” Claire said. Another tear fell from her eyes.
She successfully opened the door and wiped her tears while getting inside.
She pretended that she was going to sleep to hide her eyes.
She felt that the other side of the car opened and then closed.
She didn’t bother looking.
“Are you hungry?” Vladimir said.
She didn’t answer.
Claire felt that someone was gently shaking her.
She opened her eyes and was greeted with the most handsome man he had ever seen in her entire life, Vladimir.
“We are here. Do you want to eat first before changing?”
She smiled towards him.
“Why is it that you keep popping in my dreams. You even look real right now.”
Claire then held his face.
She touched his hand and pulled him closer to her.
“I want to hug you.” She then pull him inside her arms.
She hugged him tightly.
Then, she pushed him on her seat, and she sat on his lap, facing him.
She looked at his face and hugged him once again.
She felt something move on her bottom.
She looked at it.
“What’s that?” Claire asked while looking on his lap.
Vladimir didn’t answer.
So, Claire looked at him.
“This is the first time that you spoke in my dream, and now you’re not answering me again.”
She touched his face, eyebrows, eyes, and nose, and then she stopped and looked at his lips.
“We kissed before, but we never kissed slowly and softly, and I want to try it even though just in my dream.”
She touched his lips and slowly descended her face to him.
He did not move, so Claire continued.
Their lips touched.
Claire smiled.
“There,” She then smiled and closed her eyes again, and slept on his chest
Shit! Why did I pretend that it was happening in my dream! Am I that desperate? I didn’t even expect that his thing would move like that. I can still feel it touching me.
What will I do now?
Should I wake up?
She was about to pretend that she had just woken up when Vladimir hugged her and caressed her head.
They stayed like that for a minute, and then he put her to the other side of the car and let her sleep again.
When he successfully put her on the seat, she opened her eyes.
She saw Vladimir's face near her
She looked at him.
“What are you doing?” Claire asked.
“I was---I was waking you up. We’re here.”
“Okay,” Claire coldly said.
It’s a good thing he did that! I didn’t know what to do and react if I decided to wake up in his arms!
She opened the door. She then closed it after getting out.
She saw that they were in front of a wedding boutique.
“Why are we here?” Claire said when she heard the car’s door closed.
“Didn’t I tell you that I am okay with what I am wearing now?”
Vladimir did not speak and took the orange juice from his driver and walked towards her, and poured it on her white blouse.
She gasped when she felt the cold liquid run inside her.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate to wear in our wedding,” Vladimir whispered in her ear.
She felt a shiver run down her spine.
She doesn’t know if it’s because of the coldness she felt from the juice he poured, or it’s because she felt his breath fanning her ear.
