CHAPTER THREE
755 Words
Alex's POV:
"Alex? C'mon say hello to him at least!" My mother said
This is the guy I am going to marry?!
"Hello! I'm Zain. Nice to meet you." He said while extending his hand towards me..making me look at him in surprise
He's talking so normally! Maybe he doesn't remember me. It's been so many years after all.
Thank God!
I let out a sigh of relief and shook hands with him.
I can't back off from this marriage anyway..so it's actually good that he doesn't remember me.
For the people who are wondering who he is, I will cut the story in short
Zain Stephens was my bully in elementary school.
Well he was my crush. The day I mustered up all my courage to confess to him,
He just brushed me off.
I was a kid at that time. Obviously having crush on a guy and confessing to him took me a lot of courage.
I was chubby and nerdy. The day I confessed to Zain in front of out class, he laughed at me and said that I'm not normal. He also made fun of the way I looked.
That was the time when he started bullying me. All the students in the class joined in too and started to make fun of me.
I know being gay is not wrong but when I was rejected like that because of my sexuality when I was young, it hit me.
We were in the same highschool. He continued with his bullying even there making me earn new bullies..he just did me the favor of not making fun of my sexuality like he did in the past.
I am gay but I couldn't muster up the courage to date a single guy in my life. I had developed a kind of trauma.
I only dated girls when I became older but as expected it never worked between them.
Still now, I couldn't date a guy..I wish I had someone to tell the younger me that there's nothing wrong with being a gay.
I wish!
Well all that is in the past. I don't want to make this guy remember me again.
He was going to be my husband whether I like it or not.
***************
"Why don't you kids just go and talk to each other in private?" Zain's mom suggested
"Sure!" Zain said and looked at me for approval
I glanced at my dad once who was literally shooting death glares at me.
I gulped and nodded.
************
Zain and I are now in my room.
He was been awfully silent since he got here and it is kinda giving me a weird feeling.
"So? How did you turn from eww to wow fatty?" He asked
Shit! He remembers me after all.
"Y..you remember me?" I asked while stuttering
"Did you actually think that I got an amnesia or something like that?" He rolled his eyes
"But you behaved so normally in front out pa-" he cut me off
"That was just an act! I don't want my dad to disown me so I have to get along with f*****g wedding thing!" He growled
"And you! Out of so many people on this planet, you actually found my house to crash in?" He glared at me
"You are wrong! I was forced too!" I tried to explain
"Don't give me that s**t! I know how you and your money hungry parents planned it all from the beginning." He spat
"Don't talk about my parents like that!" I yelled
"Oh? So you started talking back now? Maybe you changed! Remember? How you used to cry when you got beat up by the other kids?" He smirked
I kept mum. I don't want to relieve those memories again.
"This is better! And remember it that just because you managed to get married to me won't obviously mean that you will be able to get to me!" He barked
"I know my place and I don't plan on getting to you." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek
He stared at me for few seconds then got up.
"Good! Now always remember that!" He said and left the room.
I was still sitting on my bed.. trying to stop my tears.
"God! Why him?" I let out a sob
It hasn't been ten minutes since we met and he successfully managed to make me cry like he did in the past.
I hate him!
