HOW I END UP MARRIED TO HIM (CHAPTER 4)

HOW I END UP MARRIED TO HIM CHAPTER 4

Louise woke up with a startle…

‘Ugh, why is it hot?’ she thought… and then it felt like some sack is piled up on her body. Her earlobe tickles. She was about to roll her body when she felt a hand draped around her.

‘’Morning pumpkin’’ Brain greeted her in his sleepy haste.

‘’I’m not a pumpkin!’’ She retorted back.

‘’Sshhh, you are a pumpkin’’ he said and smiled, inching closer to her.

‘’Hmmp! You old man!’’ she replied, standing up and made her way to the bathroom.

‘’You need to get up otherwise you’ll be late for work’’ she added.

‘’Ugh, can’t I go? I needed more sleep.’’ He said making his way near the bathroom and knocked the door.

‘’Hey, ever heard of saving water?’’

‘’Save what water? I don’t run out of water!’’ she shouted back at him

‘’Of course you don’t, but so you know we could save mother earth if we take shower together, we can save water and time at the same time.’’ He said smirking.

‘’Oh shut it dude! ‘’

Meanwhile at work…

‘’Good morning Brain, you look great today! I can’t wait for the Homecoming you know.’’

‘’Good morning to you too Miss Xie. No classes today? Oh, really.? You must be really excited.’’ He replied

‘’Of course! We’ll be partners by then.’’ She said and smiled oh-so-sweetly.

‘’I’ll be goi’n first then Miss Xie.’’

‘’See you Brain’’

He then walked out of the faculty room, his class record on his hand.

Xienna’s POV:

*sigh* He’s soo goddamn handsome. I wonder when he would ask me out..

‘’Oh please Xie, don’t tell me you’re day dreaming again??? And please wipe that stupid lovesick smile off your face, its nauseating.’’ Greyson, her co-faculty said.

‘’You’re too harsh Greyson. Don’t be a downer, kay? He’ll like me in the end..’’ she said hopefully.

‘’Up to you, In the end, who am I to tell. Don’t come crying looking for me. If only you will give me a chance.’’ He said, laughing lightly

Yes, you heard it right. He’s her avid suitor. But then Xie liked Brain.

But he has the looks too, is it really that hard to like him back?

‘’Shut up Greyson. Lol, you’re makin me sound like a damsel in distress. Would you like to bet with me??’’

‘’You sound so sure you are going to win, but will you really win?’’

‘’You are so sure I am going to lose, Greyson’’

*******

‘’Hi, Andrew. How have you been?’’ Louise went to meet with his workmate in Aus, who came all the way from Melbourne.

‘’Oh, darling I am wonderful. You look beautiful and inspired today’’ he said and kissed her cheeks.

‘’I haven’t seen you for a day and you already sounded like the womanizer you are’’

‘’What can I do?’’ he asked blinking his beautiful eyes

‘’What you can do is to gimme a freakin hug.’’ She said and opened her arms wide.

‘’Oh, I missed you too sweetie’’ he said sweetly.

‘’Haha, come on, let’s get you home so you could rest. Let’s grab some pizza on the way.

‘’Sounds good to me’’

**********

After his final class, Brain was starving, so he went out to grab some pizza at Shakey’s.

Suddenly a familiar figure caught his attention. She was having a conversation with a foreign man.

He’s tall, with a body that you could really tell was working out every now and then.

Not to mention that he’s actually a good looking one.

Anger, confusion and disappointment, feels like bubbling inside his very soul. He couldn’t understand himself. Of course she could have met countless of beautiful men in Melbourne. But why does he felt grieved with the thought of it?

‘’Hahaha stop trying to be funny Andrew! ‘’ he heard her say and slapped the man named Andrew in the arm.

He then whispered something in her ears which he couldn’t quiet catch up.

So much for getting settled down. He could only sigh and walk away, with 2 boxes of pizza in his hand.

When he walked out the door, it was just in time that Louise swept her gaze that way.

She stood quietly and thought, ‘Was that Brain? He didn’t saw me, did he? Why didn’t he approach me? Well, who am I by the way? Never mind. I need to get Andrew home’

‘’Hey, what’s on your mind? You were staring outside’’ Andrew asked, seeing her perplexed expression.

‘’Oh, it’s nothing Drew. Just some random thoughts. Come, let’s go.’’

‘’Hmm, sure sweetie’’

Louise parked her car in her driveway. Another car was parked outside her house.

‘’We’re here, welcome to my humble abode Mr. Andrew O’reilly.’’ She said a smile.

‘’Thank you so much hun, I really needed this time away from work, from my family and all. Thank you’’ he said sincerely while they made their way inside her house. Truth is, he was having a hard time recently and he has to make an escape and all.

‘’Oh, please Andrew, what friends are for? You are really welcome here.’’ She said. Comforting her friend. He was having a hard time after his fiancé left him for another man.

‘’I think my sister is here.’’ She told him and that’s when the guest room door opened.

‘’Allessandra Louise Demirci! You are soo dead with me! You didn’t even called home and all.'' Fritzie Louise scolded her, hands on her hips. Yep, it was her sister.

‘’Oh come on Fritzie, I haven’t seen you in ages but here you are scolding me with your oh-so-scary face! I know, I know, I was about to call home but I got really occupied, and oh, I want you to meet Andrew, Andrew O’reilly. Drew, this is my elder sis Fritzie..’’ she introduced.

‘’Hello Mr. Oreilly. It was nice meeting you in person. My sister mentioned you a lot’’ she said and smiled at him.

‘’Same to you Fritz,’’ he said and she didn’t take her hand but hugged her and kissed her cheeks.

‘’Sister, you looked soo shocked. Careful not to catch flies’’ Louise whispered lowly in her sister’s ear.

‘’Drew, my sister will show you the room’’ she sweetly said and winked at him.

Well, there’s nothing wrong setting her sister up with her dearest friend.

‘’Thank you, Louise. Will catch up with you after I freshin up and all. After you, my lady.’’ He said like a pro. *sigh*

Her sister stared wide-eyed at her, eyes demanding for an explanation.

‘’Go, my dear sister. We’ll talk later.’’ She answered told her before going to her room.

She closed her door and sat on her bed, what a day. She forgot her pizza at the backseat of her car. So, she went out to get it when a car suddenly parked beside hers.

‘’Louise, ‘’ It was no other than Brain.

‘’Brain, Sup? She replied, surprised.

‘’I, -‘’

‘’Come on in. I just got home from the airport, as I was picking up my friend.’’ She said, opening the door for him.

‘’Thank you but I guess I won’t be staying longer. I just came to give you these.’’ He said, taking out a paper bag and was about to get in his car when she held his arm making him stop in his track and turned to her.

‘’I thought you would stay a little longer, I wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine.’’ She said rather lowly, looking up at him in the eyes

She then stood on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek and hurriedly got inside her house.

He was soo shocked, his eyes wide as saucers, while his hand slowly reached out and touched his cheeks.

But what about that man he was talking with lately?

He slowly got inside his Avanza, and drove away.
