Mia’s POV
Here I am standing in line waiting to be graduate. Yes you heard me. I am graduating. I am finally graduating. As much as I am excited to graduate, I’m gonna miss high school. High school is the only time you get to have fun.
Make mistakes and laugh about them. A time that we will always cherish. I’m sure I’m gonna cherish these moments. I mean I literally got married when I was in high school.
Talking about it, the whole school came to know that I’m Damien Mariano’s wife. When people came to know about it, I was the hot topic of the school. Like literally. Everyone kept coming to me and asking how is it to be Damien Mariano’s wife.
It was overwhelming. But Ash was over there to help me. Lucky me. But people started to come into terms with it.
“Next, Amelia Mariano.” yap. You heard it right. I changed my name to Mariano. Damien and me were having this discussion the other day. I wanted to do something for him, hence I agreed. You should have seen his reaction. He was so happy.
I stepped forward to collect my certificate. I shook my hands with principal as he congratulate me. After receiving it, I went down the stage as I joined my class. Once everyone took the certificate we all took a class photo.
Next I joined my family. My dad, mum, Oli, Damien, Grace and even Albert was there. The first one to hug me was my dad. “Congratulation sweetheart. I’m so proud of you.” he said
“Come on, give your mama a hug.” my mum said as she pushed my dad away and hugged me. I smiled as I hugged her. Followed by my sis.
“Baby sister, you growing. I cant believe you graduated. Promise you’ll always be my baby sister” she said as she start to become emotional.
I laughed at her. “I promise.” I promised to her. Followed by grace. “Congrats Child.” she said as smiled warmly at me. “Thank you Mary.” Next was Albert.
“Congrats. You are one of the best thing that happen to this family.” he said as he shook my hand and kissed my forehead. I smiled at him.
Lastly, it was Damien. We started at each other for awhile before he hugged me. “Congrats baby. I’m so proud of you.” He whispered into my eyes. I blushed. “Thanks.” I squeaked.
“Well we better be going. We have somewhere to be.” my dad said and everyone agreed. That’s weird but anyway I said ok.
Before they could go, Ash and his family came. “Hey sweetie. Congrats” Ash mum said. “Thank you Mrs Johnson.” I said as Ash’s father congratulated.
Soon, Everyone left including Ash parents. That’s weird. It was left with Ash, Damien and me. “Do you guys know what’s going on?” I asked them. “I have no idea.” Ash said looking confused.
“Nope. Nothing. I have no idea.” Damien said too quickly. “Okkkk” I dragged. “Lets go shall we. Come on Ash you can come with us to our house.” Damien invited him. We both nodded our head.
The three of us got into the car and left. While we driving Damien kept looking at his phone. Something is going on.
Strangely, the drive back home was long. Damien insisted we drop by at mac for a drive in no matter how much we said no.
Then suddenly I realised that we were taking the long route. I wanted to ask what was going on but resisted.
Soon we were home. Damien parked the car as we got in. We walked towards the house as Ash and me walked in front while Damien walked behind me. I pushed open the door only to be shocked.
There were so many people. Like a lot. Including our family. There was a banner which said, ‘Congratulations on winning the competition and graduating’ I was speechless. So was Ash.
We looked at each other with wide open mouth. We didn’t know what to say. We were dumbfounded.
“Congratulation, Wifey” Damien said while hugging me from behind. “What is this?” I asked still in shock.
“Love close your mouth before the flies goes in.” he said chuckling. I immediately closed my mouth. We went in slowly while gaping at everything the whole place was decorated. So many people were here.
We went to our family who were standing there and smiling sheepishly.
“What’s all this?” Ash and me asked at the same time. “Its a party. Duh.” Oli said as I glared at her. She put her hand in defense.
“Well we thought you guys deserved this.” My mum said as Mrs Johnson agreed with her. “Who planned all of this?” I asked because this doesn’t look easy to be plan.
“Your husband dear. Got to say you got yourself a charmer.” Mrs Johnson said. When she said this I turn to look at him. He was standing there as if he did nothing.
“Thank you Damien for this.” Ash said. Damien just nodded at him with a smile. His eyes darted to me. Expecting me to say something. I didn’t know what to say.
So, I hugged him. He chuckled at my behaviour but hugged me back. “Thank you so much.” I said sincerely. “Anything for my girl.” he said as he hugged me back tightly which in return so did I.
After sometime we heard someone clear their throat. We quickly pulled away as we realised everyone was looking at us.
“Sorry” I mumbled which made everyone laugh. “Aren’t they cutest.” I heard someone say as everyone cheered and agreed. Unable to stand the attention I hide myself into Damien chest in which he chuckled.
Ash and me walk around as people congratulate as and wished us. Most of them were people we knew like our relatives and neighbour and some were from our school.
I can’t believe Damien actually arranged all of this. I am melting for this guy. Soon we open a champagne and start to celebrate.
Of course I wasn’t allowed to drink when everyone else did. Yay me. I was looking around when I saw Damien walking towards me.
“Hey baby.” he said as he hugged me while I hugged him back. “Hey back to you.” I said as we stay in each others arms.
We stood there as we looked at everyone enjoying. An hour or so later, everyone started to leave including our families.
They bid us goodbye and congratulated one more time and left so did Ash and his family.
After sending them off, we return back to our house. The house wasn’t that messy or anything. So we decided to clean up. Grace went back home after the party as we gave the rest of the day off.
After an hour we were done. “Finally.” I said as plopped into the bed. Damien laughed as I stuck my tongue at him.
That’s when I realised that I stink. “I stink.” I said as I scrunched my nose. He laughed at me again. He came to me. “Why don’t you take a shower. I have a call to make.” I agreed and went of to shower.
I took about a good 20 minutes in the shower. I went into the walk in closet, as I looked at what to wear,
I picked up a legging and decided to wear one of Damien’s shirt. I took a white t-shirt and wear my clothes.
When I came out, I saw Damien staring outside the window. When he heard me, he turned around. When he turn around, his mouth went wide open.
I blushed at his expression. “Baby, you look HOT.” he said as he smirked. I throw the towel at him as he started to laugh.
“Go take a shower. You stink.” I said as I tried to cover my blush. He laughed as he went to take a shower.
I went to bed and got ready for bed. I am exhausted. I was staring at the ceiling when Damien came out after his shower.
But what I saw made me gulp. There he was with a towel wrapped around his waist. His abs were visible. I was dumbfounded. This was the first time I saw him like this. I didn’t know what to say.
I didn’t realise he was coming towards me until he was near me. “Like what you see, Love?” I snapped out of trance as I looked away.
His hands grabbed my face look at him. We were looking a each others eyes when we both, without realizing, were leaning in as his lips found mine.
Nothing was making sense at that point of time. My brain was not functioning. We kept kissing each other when we were ran out of breathe. We pulled away when I realized that he was straddling me.
I blushed at the position. “I want you so badly right now. But I will wait for you until you are ready.” he said stroking my cheeks. He was about to get off when I stopped him.
I looked up at his eyes, staring at them. “I’m ready.” I said as I stared into his eyes. “You sure?” he asked. Without answering him, I pulled him into a kiss.
I gave myself to him that night. We became one.
I gave myself to the devil.
I was arranged to the devil.
