Unwanted Marriage (A Short Story)

Episode 2

Veronica's POV

Ever since I married Khyl, it's the first time that I've woken up beside him. And unfortunately we're not naked.

I looked at his side and stared at his face. And I realized that I had already seen him angry, frustrated, irritated, annoyed, but I had never seen him this calm. I guess he doesn't really like me. That's why I never saw him happy when we're together. But it's also his fault. If he only agreed to give me a child, then I am more than willing to let us divorce and let him be happy with the love of his life. But he doesn't want to give me a child.

"I wonder what he looks like when we're doing it." I shook my head to clear my mind of the filthy thoughts that were racing through my mind.

Last night I remember drinking with that handsome bartender.

I remember him saying that he was just waiting for the girl he like. I don't know, but when he said that, I suddenly felt that something was not right. But maybe I'm just overreacting.

But wait....I remember that I passed out after drinking so much, but why did I end up in Khyl's bed?

"The troublemaker is already awake, I see" My eyes darted to the owner of the voice. And there I saw Khyl sitting up while messing up his hair.

"Tss... I got so drunk last night but you didnt even dare to take advantage of me"

I said while rolling my eyes.

He looked at me like I was the craziest person on earth.

"Damn... You're the only woman I know who is willing to be r***d" he said while shaking his head.

Raped? Because we're married, it's not considered r**e, right?

" And I'm not that type of person" He added while lookingvat me seriously.

Oh right. I forgot that he is the type of person who only wants to do it with the women he loves. And it's not me.

Well, I'm not sad because he doesn't love me, I'm sad because he doesn't want to give me a child. I just want to be a mother.

Khyl was about to walk out of his room when I remembered something that I was really curious about.

"I remember that I passed out last night because I drank too much, but how did I end up in your bed?" i asked him

"That guy....stay away from him" he said without even looking at me.

He didn't mention any names, but my mind kept telling me that he was talking about that bartender guy that I don't even know the name.

I went out of Khyl's room and found him watching television.

"Did that guy bring me here" I asked him even if I knew that what I thought was obviously right.

"I didn't know how you met that freak, but I'm warning you, you should stay away from him." he said while looking at me seriously.

Did they know each other?

"Do..." I paused and looked at him with my eyes full of curiosity. "...you like

him? "

Khyl's eyes widen, maybe because I discovered his secret?

"WHAT THE HELL WOMAN?! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SPITTING NONSENSE THINGS?! I LIKE GIRLS! I 'M STRAIGHT! JUST WHAT THE F * CK IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN?!" He gave me an ear piercing shout.

Well everything is possible in this world.

"I'm sorry, okay? I thought you had already given up on Brittany and maybe you thought that it's better to love a man." i said to him.

"JUST SHUT UP!! " he looked so irritated

"Fine, I'll just prepare for my work" i said as i scratched my ear.

"Don't forget. Stay away from him" he said after calming down.

"Sure. If you give me a baby" i said to him while smiling

I thought he was going to curse at me, but he just stared at me with an expression that I couldn't read.

I thought I had already offended him. That's why I said sorry and ran to my room.

Maybe he thought that I was in a relationship with that bartender, but I never thought of cheating on him. Yeah, we don't love each other, but I think it would be immoral to date someone while we're still married. And I don't mind if Khyl welcomes other girls into our house or hugs her in front of me. But Khyl's action today makes me confused, because we don't normally care about each other's lives, but today he asked me to stay away from some guy without giving me a valid reason.

He's not jealous, right?

"What the hell am I thinking? He doesn't love me, so why would he be jealous?"

i said to myself as i tap my head.

"Maybe Khyl is right. Maybe there is really something wrong with my brain." my god.... i think I'm going crazy, I'm even talking to myself.

Lying in my bed. I tried to reminisce about what really happened last night. If that handsome bartender brought me home last night, it's impossible that he took advantage of me. Cause if he did, I'd probably wake up in a hotel or in his house, but instead I woke up in my husband's bed. And he even said that courting a married woman is immoral and that makes him a good guy, right?
