Arranged Marriage

quatre🍁

He was scrolling on his phone, half laying on the bed as I came out of the bathroom, changed in my pajamas.

I slowly sat on the slightest corner of the bed, waiting for him to say something.

But he didn't acknowledged my existence at all. Finding no other way, I squeezed myself into the blanket taking a very small space.

He then turned off the lights and laid down beside me. I felt nervous somehow. As I couldn't stop my heart beating faster than ever.

It was our first night together.

Yet there was something hollow between us.

I was facing his back as he was sleeping facing the other side. It made me sad he didn't wanted to talk to me or get to know me at all.

"Say something," he suddenly hissed.

I flinched and almost fell off the bed.

"What do you want me to say?"

He remained silent for awhile before saying, "Leave it."

I couldn't understand what he was trying to say since I couldn't even see his face.

The next morning he tried to talk to me. But since I never talked to a guy before other than my father, I get weirded out.

He probably thinks I'm a freak by now.

I'm weird but I'm not bad, please bear with me.

I couldn't answer things probably. I stutter. I make mistakes while talking to him. He looks disappointed every time.

That made my heart cry out.

Being with a partner, with him was my only escape from my parents.

He started to spend less and less time with me.

After all I don't see any reason he should talk to me anymore.

He regrets marrying me, don't he?
