" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

He looks at me, he looks at me very very surprised and i have to say that I am smiling, I'm smiling oddly at this.

"How did you know?" he says but I just keep on smiling to myself.

You can practically see the guilt that is eating him up, you can see the guilt that is eating him up when he talks about this.

"Why would you kill someone who looked like she would give you the world?" I say looking at him and his eyes go downcast.

"She didn't want to give me anything, she didn't want to give me anything at all".

He is whispering this, he is whispering this but yet I hear it clearly and I feel anger rising up in me.

"Can you please leave?, you're ruining the happy atmosphere that I was in just a few minutes ago".

He's looking at me and Ercles, is looking at me oddly almost like he's trying to beg me with his eyes and I basically shake my head.

"I am not going to stay with you and spend the money of a dead girl, you are very very shameless see"

"I'm not the one that killed her!!!" He says almost screaming at me and I have to crack an eyebrow up at him.

"You didn't deny it a few minutes ago" I say looking at him and he nods at me.

"I am denying it now, I'm not the one that killed her. I have never killed anybody".

I have to smirk at this. I have to smirk at this and I smile my most conspiratorial smile.

"No worries, you don't have to be panicked. I won't go report you to the police, we are basically a band of killers and murderers ourselves".

I am looking at him. I am looking at the three people who are standing just opposite me and I'm looking conspiratorially are all of them.

They all wear amused and smiling faces as they look at Lucas.

"Yes, we won't tell a single soul" Alice says looking at him and his look becomes ugly.

"I do not know these people and I do not plan on knowing them, the only person that I know is you. Please, come back with me, we can start where we left off. I promise I won't ever ask you to do something like that again".

You know Lucas is very very handsome when he's begging, it's not like he's handsome, he is very cute and beautiful, especially when he makes his face to look like that pitiful

He is cute and beautiful especially when he puts a deliberate effort into it and I have to look at him and giggle a little bit.

"No, I'm not coming back with you, I am never coming back with you. You can go spend your illegally gotten money on another girl. I'm practically sure that there are a lot of them who want to be around you"

I am not wrong, I am not wrong at this and his face falls.
