Your thought
Emily chewed on her nail , as anxiety gripped her . Despite the air conditioning of the room , she was feeling hot all over and the food she finished eating a while ago was still heavy in her stomach and she was feeling constipated .
Everything seems to happening all at once . And she couldn't process it . Oh God
Thinking about marriage is making the urge to poo much more pressuring .
She would be a hypocrite now to think that her feelings for Micheal is just a fleeting one that'll pass soon enough .
Yet the notion of marriage isn't just sitting well with her somehow somewhere . The door creaked open and she didn't bother to look who it was
Who could it be ?
No one other than the man that annoys the shit of out of but also the man who loves her . Or so she think
He stared at her intently, without moving his body from the door post as if his feet was glued to the ground and his eyes was glued on her neck
Emily could feel it . His prickly gaze on her , she could feel it down her throat and ...
Oh gosh , she need to take a dump right now . She stood up abruptly from where she sat , and ran into the bathroom . If the quick twenty something steps she took could be counted as running.
She sat down on the closet , not forgetting to turn on the tap as a means to make the " clump clump . " Sound of her materials meeting the closet water , less audible ..
After a few unladylike grunts , she was finally relieved . Now she could think about other matters like marriage .
Marriage with the right person was supposed to be a thing of joy but that was exactly the problem. The right person .!!
Was Micheal the right person for her ?
Either right or wrong , she couldn't continue to sit in the toilet and it was quite an odour . She didn't forget to spray the air freshener before taking a deep breath accidentally sniffing too much of the freshener a d she ends up coughing .
At last she made the decision , come what may , she couldn't sleep in the toilet . And so , she went out of the toilet closing the door gently behind her .
Her stomach did a little rumble and she rolled her eyes . Good for you, she patter her stomach and spoke under her breath as she approached Micheal who sat on his working table . He was wearing glasses , and his sleeves was rolled up , his button half done . Emily gulped as she took a peek at his muscles chest remembering the time she was feeling his heat , his chest all over her .
She shook her head vigorously , and slapped her pinked cheeks slightly .
What was she thinking? God help her .
Micheal was doing things to her brain , no she didn't have a brain again whenever Micheal's is involved .
"Uhmm babe ? Don't you think we should talk ?? " She eyed his broad shoulders and gulped until it occurred to her again.
Did she just call him babe ? Without feeling shy ? This days she was getting bolder and bolder ,all thanks to someone who wouldn't spare her poor heart of his compliment . The ones he throws at her at every given chance .
"Yes sweetie . I've been waiting for you to finish your business in the bathroom . But now I'm kinda working . Would give me a few minutes ?? . " He looked up from the series of files on his table and Emily nodded at his question .
This man was a workaholic !!
He suprised her yet again as he leaned in , so much that their faces were just inches apart , his hot breath fanned her face that was getting pinkish again. She closed her eyes and pouted her lips in expectation of a kiss on her lips .
He chuckled at her adorable expression and kissed her on the forehead before she could her eyes .
"You're such a tease .. " she murmured underneath her breath
Micheal resumed what he was doing and she could only stare . At his efficiency . And smoothness as he checked and doubled checked . That was Micheal .
Someone who hates any mistake , no matter how little or big the mistake was .
She could clearly remember the time when she was still working with him at the Gerald communication . He was strict and a bully . He would smirk endlessly whenever she was having a hard time keeping up with his orders .
She smiled at the memories . Her smile turned sour when she remembered his daily episodes with his flings or whatever he calls it .
They were so going to discuss it when he was done .
He cleared the files to a side , and turned his chair to face her . He wetted his lips and Emily swallowed . Hard
"Yes baby ? I'm all ears now . " He smiled at her , subtly encouraging her to speak to him comfortably .
"You probably know what I'm about to say . It's about the marriage that Alicia suggested. I'm ....really confused as it . What about the contract? I don't know. " She intertwined her fingers together and bit her lower lips in apprehension .
Micheal moved his chair closer to her and held her hands in his .
He looked into her eyes , deeply and softly .
She was feeling giddy , hot , cold and freezing at the same time . Her throat went dry and her toes tingle .
Only Micheal was capable of inciting this feeling from her
"What is marriage ?? The official joining of a man and woman as husband and wife right ? . All those things doesn't matter . Not when I've found my soulmate . Just the thought of living without you scared the shit out of me . I don't think I can go on with my live. Without you by my side . Whatever our souls are made of , yours and mine are the same . " He held her face in his palm , and she couldn't look away .
This is the best love confession that she has heard in the whole of her existence .
Not that many people had confessed to her before but she just couldn't help but bare her heart to him .
"You don't have to say anything now my love . I know you might not love me yet , but I promise to wait remember? So please marry me . I don't think I can live without you. "
He smiled at her and her heart felt too heavy , overflowing with love .
Love ?
She wasn't even sure of her feelings anymore.
But how could he smile so casually? As if he hadn't just got her killed with his confession right now .
********************
Hana shifted , stood up from where she was sitting , sat back down .
This marriage of a thing was really bothering her to no extent .
Getting married ?? With someone who isn't even her real boyfriend?
Someone who she might like a little . Ok ,maybe not so very little .
Ok maybe a lot .
But the feeling isn't mutual and she doesn't even know where all this is heading .
She fidgeted with the Hem of her clothes as Alicia's voice rang in her head again and she shook her head as if trying to distill the thought from her head .
"And the person in question is nowhere to be seen . Where is Samuel anyways? He left after the meal and now he is nowhere to be found . Tsk tsk . " She sat down on the bed and sighed
This was really proving to be more difficult than she imagined .
Just then he came in , he smells of leather and outdoor . Within the short period of time that he went out ? Just where was she coming from ?
"Samuel?? Samuel we need to talk . " She eyed him suspiciously as he came to sit besides her .
"Where are you coming from ?? Huh ? And there you are keeping silent as if your mouth is glued together . You can tell me if you're having a difficulty in speaking. I'll gladly rip your mouth open by myself . " She hissed under her breath and eyes him again
All of a sudden , Samuel started laughing , confusing the already confused Hana , who stared at him like one would stare at someone who had a loose screw in their head .
"What's so funny ?? " She glared at him.
"You are adorable when you're angry . With your cheek puffed up and your mouth thinned . Gosh how cute . " He pinched her cheeks making Hana blushed fiercely .
Why was he doing this to her??
Her heart was running a relay race in her chest right now . Beating hard and making Hana have a hard time breathing
"Now now honey . What is it that you wanted to tell me ?? " He asked , getting serious
Honey ??
"About the marriage that Alicia suggested. How are we going to go about it ?? Cos I don't understand . And to think that you're going over board by agreeing almost immediately . So fore there I think I deserve an explanation bruh . " She finished and tapped her toes on the ground waiting for his answer
" I think now is the time to say it . Be my girlfriend. I've been meaning to ask you since all this while but I've just never got the perfect timing. I like you. " He dropped the bomb
And her heart flew right out of her chest down to the Pacific ocean and back to the Antarctica before coming back to her chest again
What the fuck ?? Samuel likes her too ??
But what the heck was he waiting for since all this while ? While she's been whining away .
Oh God . She could only have Alicia to thank for this .
But still , officially dating and getting married is two different thing .
One was easy while the other was much more complex than they could imagine
Get married ? Nah they still need to talk more
"I like you too. And I think you know . But dating v is another thing entirely from marriage . We can't just get married after dating for a week ? Not even up to a week but three days . That's quite far fetched . " She spoke again and Samuel smiled
"Who says marriage is the end of everything? Who says that we can't date while married? Huh ? If you're willing to give me a chance I could prove it to you . " He held both of her hand in his and placed a chaste kiss on them
"It's be exciting and fun. Baby ?? Let's do it . " He said again
Hana was having a hard time speaking , she had to clear her throat before speaking
"Araseo . Let's do it .!!! . "She replied enthusiastically . And both of them laugh
"Whatever our souls are of , yours and mine are the same . " He whispered into her ears .
**************
"Whatever our souls are made of , hers and mine are the same . "
Is actually a sentence that I came across while reading a book
