I walked away although I had no idea where I was going to and could easily get lost I think they passed here.
“Grandma sent me to see why you’re not here yet,” Tess said meeting me in the middle of the garden.
“Good, I don’t even know my way around here.”
“Don’t worry, you’d get used to it in time. So were you and Kel making out?” she asked wiggling her eyebrows.
Making out? Her imagination was purely scary and impossible. I wouldn’t allow that. I didn’t want to deny or confess to her claim and I just laughed.
We walked till we got to the dining room, there were different types of foods arrayed on the table. Because of the luck I have, I was seated beside Kel’s mom opposite Kel.
“Go on and eat Shayan, who knows when you’d eat like this again.” his mom said and there was a little smirk on Kel’s face as she said that. She just indirectly insulted me.
“I’m not that hungry, I skip breakfast most of the time,” I said standing up.
“Please don’t be offended, I’m sure she doesn’t want you to be fat in the dress,” Kel murmured, to someone else, it might have sounded like he cared but I knew him.
Now I was offended, I have issues when someone talked about my size. They don’t expect me to be skinny, I’m not fat I like to think I’m curvy. I was fat before and got insulted and bullied by it and I wasn’t fully over that and that’s why I work hard to maintain this shape.
“Shayan what they’re trying to say is that they want the gown to fit you perfectly. ” His grandma spoke up not catching the hint of what they were saying.
“I’m sure it will. “Jess said.
“Of course it will. My fiancee looks good in everything.” Kel joined in.
“Please excuse me,” I said leaving.
I leisurely walked to where my legs led me to until I found myself in the garden. I sighed sitting on the grass, I don’t think I could do this. I heard footsteps and knew it was Kel’s, someone probably forced him here or he was here to taunt me.
“Crying baby doll?” he mocked laughing and I turned to face him showing him my perfect face with no tears.
“Of course not Adrios. It’s going to take more than you and your family to make me cry and besides is baby doll not old fashioned?”
He didn’t reply to my rhetoric question and just laughed.” I think I’d buy buckets so you’d store up your tears you’d need it when the time comes.”
“Oh, I’m sure I wouldn’t be needing them. I’m done Adrios, I’m done with the deal go find someone else who’d be interested .” I declared and he laughed.
“You know you can’t cancel it till a year,” he said calmly with a smirk.
“Well I’m on a rule-breaking spree today and I’m breaking the deal, it’s off Adrios.”
“You’re very funny West. Only I can terminate the contract and right now it’s on.”
“Not if I post about this being fake.” I threatened smirking
“You wouldn’t do that.” he sounded so sure as if he knew me too well as if he had a plan.
“Don’t dare me Adrios, we both know what I’m capable of doing.” I threatened further meaning every word I said.
“Yeah, I’m sure we both know that you’re capable of doing absolutely nothing.” he retorted staring at me with hatred.
Angrily I got out my phone, went to my Instagram, added a picture of us together and wrote. “It’s all fake, Kel and I don’t love each other, there’s no wedding.” I read out to him and all he could do was laugh.
“I dare you to post that Miss West.” he coldly dared to smirk.
I didn’t take dares lightly, not especially when I’m angry. He seemed so confident that I wouldn’t and I just had to prove him wrong.
Just as I was about to post it my phone was yanked away and it was no one other than his mom giving me a hard slap as I turned around it was so painful I wanted to cry and Kel was laughing at me.
“And what’s this you’re trying to do? Ruin my son’s life further?”
Ruin his life, how could I possibly ruin it and how did I ruin it?
“I haven’t done anything to ruin your so perfect son’s fucked up life. I’d advise you Mrs Adrios, oh wait he never got married to you, don’t butt into people’s business.” I said harshly.
“You… ” she shouted raising her hands to slap me which I caught mid-air. I could tell she was very angry, I didn’t mean to say what I said but I have zero tolerance for people I don’t like and still get on my nerves.
“You brat.” she angrily shouted glaring at me but I know the anger wasn’t that dominant, she was hurt. Kel was too but I couldn’t care less.
“That’s enough, if you weren’t a girl I’d have beaten the hell out of you. How dare you talk to my mom that way?” he angrily asked, his eyes shooting daggers.
“How dare she slap me, she started it.” I angrily said.
“Get out,” he said through gritted teeth. He was fuming. I know how much he loves his mom and can’t stand a word being said against her especially when they mentioned his father. He had beaten up a guy in high school who called his mother a whore and him a bastard.
“I’m not going to let you ruin my son’s life again,” she said.
Could someone shut her mouth up, why is she talking nonsense?
“I didn’t ruin his life, he ruined mine and he’s still doing so now.” I retorted.
“Leave,” he shouted angrily. We glared at each other before I walked away.
We weren’t even married yet look at all the drama. I was looking forward to our wedding. How pathetic would my life get?
It didn’t take a while, Kel and his mother showed up and I could still see how angry he was but he was hurt too. I felt a little contented that he was hurt, now he has an idea of how he makes me feel every single time.
“We’d be leaving now, something important came up,” Kel said, his voice still glinting with anger.
“Come on stay dear. You haven’t eaten, you must be quiet hungry and tired. Shayan dear talk him out.”
Kel glanced at me briefly then at his grandma then apologized for having to leave. We said our goodbyes and left the house. Immediately we got to the car I expected Kel to start ranting but he said nothing. We got home still nothing, he was beginning to scare me, he should be shouting at me by now. Did he finally feel that his mom was wrong? I wanted him to shout at me and kick me out. I wanted him to end the contract.
