BEAUTIFUL LIAR

CHAPTER 15 (END)

I was lying in Thomas’s arms under a warm blanket. After the sofa, we moved to the bathroom, and then to the bedroom. Now, we were both completely exhausted, barely able to move.

Thomas’s face was peacefully sleeping, and I watched him, tracing his sharp features with my finger. Right now, I felt more than just affection for him.

I loved him— with all my heart.

“Did you just kiss me while I was asleep?” Thomas, who had been touched, slowly opened his eyes.

“Are you crazy?” He kissed my forehead gently.

“I love you, baby.” His sweet whisper of love tickled my ear.

“I love you too,” I replied.

“Then… let’s get married,” he said. My eyes widened. What did he just say?

“Are you out of your mind? We’re still in high school!”

“In a few months, we’ll graduate, and we’ll both be of legal age,” he replied, and I slapped him lightly. Where did that idea even come from?

“Who gets married at 18?”

“We do! I have my own business, and I’ve been making money since I was 15. I’ll take care of you, Vivian.”

“My parents probably wouldn’t agree.”

“Then I’ll just elope with you.” I pinched his arm again.

“Ow! That hurts.”

“Good. Maybe it’ll stop you from talking nonsense.”

“I’m not just saying stuff. If you go to college and meet some handsome guy, I’ll go crazy. No way, I’m locking you down first.” I rolled my eyes.

“I’m serious, Thomas. My parents probably won’t agree… I have to get pregnant first, right? Guaranteed way to get them to let us marry.”

Oh no! I totally forgot about that. Thomas, you i***t! How many times did you… I jumped out of bed immediately. The pill! The emergency contraceptive!

“Where are you going, Vivian?”

“To the pharmacy. Hurry up and get dressed, take me there.” He rolled his eyes.

“It’s too late, you know.”

“Huh?”

“It’s been more than 24 hours.”

I froze in shock, feeling like my blood pressure spiked. I almost collapsed.

“M-Me—what does that mean—?”

“Yep! You’re definitely pregnant,” he said with a sly grin, not a care in the world.

“I’m— I’m going to kill you!” I grabbed a pillow and smacked him with it in anger. He dodged it, pinned me down on the bed, and chuckled.

“I love you, Vivian. Marry me.” My face turned bright red. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know how to react.

I nodded shyly, and Thomas smiled the biggest, happiest smile before kissing me.

“One more time?” he asked, pulling the blanket off me, revealing my naked body. That pervert Thomas, such a creep!

Everything went according to Thomas’s plan. After we graduated, we immediately had our wedding, and of course, because I was pregnant! Thomas had to take responsibility.

Even though I became a mom a bit earlier than expected, I still went to university, chasing the dreams I wanted, while raising our little daughter at the same time.

I apologize to my dear readers for rushing through the story. I’m still a novice writer, and I wrote this without a clear outline or any planning, which made the plot feel messy and rushed.

I feel like the story didn’t turn out as I envisioned, so I decided to end it here.

For my next story, I’ll make sure to improve my writing. Thank you for sticking with me until the end.
