Arranged marriage

Honeymoon

I entered my room and noticed all my things were gone. No clothes, shoes, books, nothing was there.

"Eva! Eva!" I screamed in horror.

She ran into my room in her night gown. Her hair was a mess.

"Mrs. Jepsen, what is wrong?" she asked half sleeping.

"What is wrong?! Where the hell are all my things??"

I was ready to rip her head off.

"Well, you know.." she stammered.

"It's okay Eva. You can go back to sleep. I'll explain everything."

Mark tapped her on the back and she went out.

"So?? Where the hell are my things?!"

He sat on my bed.

"First of all stop yelling" he said in a whisper.

I was bursting with anger. I wanted to punch him so bad!

"I ordered Eva to move your things to my bedroom" he said it like it was a completely normal thing to do.

"You did what?? Are you insane??" I screamed.

"I told you to stop yelling!" he hissed looking at me under his thick eyebrows.

He scared me. His eyes turned dark gray, like the sky before the storm destroyes everything. I sat down.

"Your granfather is coming tommorow along with mine. Both of our parents are coming too. They will arrive in the morning. You don't want to lose everything once they see us sleeping in separate bedrooms, do you? After the show you pulled off minutes ago, sleeping in the same room with you will be hard enough. Don't make it even harder."

I shook my head humbly.

"I thought so. Now move" he ordered in his usual strickt voice.

He stood up and walked up to his room. I followed him in silence.

"You can change now" he said as I closed the door.

"Where? Here?" I asked surprised.

"No, on the balcony. Yes, here" he replied sarcastically.

"Dream on. I'll change in the bathroom."

"As you wish."

I took my black night gown and put it on. I brushed my teeth and removed my make up.

When I got out he was already in bed with his laptop. I sat in the sofa by the window.

"Is the light bothering you?" He asked.

"No."

"I'll be done soon."

I fixed my look outside the window. I don't care.

"You know, you were wrong earlier. I really was worried about you, I wasn't pretending. This marriage may not be true but that doesn't mean I don't care about the person who is living in my house. And it definitely doesn't mean I'll let some prick insult you."

"You didn't have to do that. Now we are going to be all over the newspaper."

"So what? I don't care, you shouldn't either" he said.
"You don't care but our families will.." I whispered still looking outside.
"Out of fear of what our families are going to say I was supposed to let him touch you like he did, right? I'd rather be in all newspaper then have you on my conscious."
It was hard. Really hard beeing close to him like that. In his room when he specified there in no room for me in his life. I remembered all the things he said to me that night and shivered. On the other hand he had the energy to draw you close to him. He could draw the Moon to him if he wanted. I found myself wanting to lean on his chest and inhale his addicting smell.
