At 10pm the guests were led out of the tent towards my getaway car, they formed a guard of honor, they stood on both sides of the sidewalk and left the middle for me to walk by. The tent was almost empty, it was just mom, dad, Min Jun and I left in it. "Are you sure you do not want to come home with us?" Mom asked. She had been trying to convince me to spend my first night as a married woman in the Lin mansion. "Ama, I cannot do that, I should spend the first night with my husband," I said holding her hand. "I'm not prepared to let you go," She said and slowly tears rolled down her face. I had never seen my mom openly cry but here she was sobbing. I wiped her tears while tears rolled down my eyes too. "Mom don't cry," I whispered as I frantically tried to wipe her tears that kept flowing. "My baby is leaving," She muttered through her sobs. "I'm...I'm...I'm not leaving, I will visit, we live in the same country, probably the same state," I said trying to convince her to stop cryi
As the clock struck twelve, I walked out of the bathroom shattering the stillness of the bedroom. Few strands of my black locks had escaped my bun and were plastered against my neck and face. I brushed them against the bun with my palm and finally decided to address the problem at hand 'Min Jun'Min laid on the bed, eyes wide open and monitoring my movements. I walked shyly away from the bathroom door gripping the rope of my loose red satin robe. The robe was knee length and was covering the thigh length red satin night gown underneath it. "I'm so tired," I muttered as I walked towards the wardrobe, my bare feet weaved through the plush carpet which made my steps barely audible. I got to the wardrobe and removed the satin robe exposing my pale thighs to Min. He saw my thighs at the wedding, there was no reason to be shy, I repeated trying really hard to not feel shy. I walked to the side of the bed and stepped in. "Hi," I said. "Hi," he replied. "We should sleep," i said and got u
"Almost," I sighed and stood up. I needed little space from Min Jun and I couldn't stare at his face. Min Jun walked over to my seated position and continued to stare at me. "Are you shy?" he asked. "No, I just want to sleep but you were really close to my face," I said, lied on the bed and turned to face the sheets. "isn't that uncomfortable?" He asked me. My muffled voice denied his allegations and remained face planted against the linen. It was getting harder to breath but it was better than looking at Min. I felt the bed dip and could no longer feel him staring. I turned to the demarcation and saw his figure settling intoot his side of the bed. "Good night Mrs. Lee, we should talk later," he said. I mouthed my answer and turned to look at the canopy of the bed. I should be happy, I got what I wanted. I was married, I could do everything on my bucket list but something didn't feel right. Maybe I just need to sleep, I have gone through a whole lot of stress planning this wedd
A tall pale man about 6 ft tall walked out of the kitchen towards us. His words got stuck in his throat when he noticed there was someone other than Mn Jun in the living room. "Hey Mrs. Lee," he greeted. "I'm Cheng," He added and stretched his hand towards me. I looked at his long slender fingers and shook his hand. "I'm Mei Xing," I corrected. "To what do I owe this visit?" he asked but the question seemed aimed at Min. "Hmm Miss, I will go wait in the car," Mr. Jiang said. He didn't give me to chance to answer as his retreating body was already closing the door. "Do you want to sit?" Cheng asked pointing towards the single chair in the living room. In the living room, there were two chairs. A three seater sofa than faced a 26 inch TV and the single chair that was placed awkwardly in the corner of the room. "Thank you," I said and opted to sit on the three seater chair. "Are you going to sit?" I asked Min. "Let me get you something to drink," he replied and disappeared into the
After my driver dropped me at the hotel, he left for the Lin's mansion and I was left alone. I was all alone with a big tub of ice cream. Min Jun was stressing me. I groaned and pushed all the pillows off the bed. The stupid demarcation was gone. I was still frustrated and angry at the stupid and I had landed myself. I left my tub of ice cream in the fridge and decided to take a quick shower. The shower was the best decision I had made a while, it managed to soothe my nerves. I got out of the bathrobe and wore a matching set of cotton butt shorts and a cotton vest. I got the ice cream and sat n the couch with my spoon and a random show on the tv. "This is not how I thought my day would go," I murmured as I dig my spoon into the ice cream. I heard the door to the room unlock and caught a glimpse of Min Jun. "Shit," he cussed after he stubbed his toe. He looked at my sleeping body and walked into the room. I didn't realise I had fallen asleep not until Min Jun walked in. I sighed an
I stood staring at Min Jun, he had really made a bath for me, it was so thoughtful and cute but it didn't feel right. Why was he suddenly trying to be a better person? Was it just to get the other half of the contract from me? What was the reason for his attitude? "Earth to Mei," he whispered in my ear, I tensed and moved away from him. "You seem really lost in your thought, anything you want to talk about with me?" He asked me. "No! Thank you for running a bath for me, I will take it from here," I said chasing him out of the bathroom. "I thought I was going to undress you and bath you," He pouted. I rolled my eyes at his words and pointed at the door. "Fine," He replied. "I'll close the room's door an be in the living room. See you soon babe," he added and left the bathroom. I walked up to the door and locked it, took a deep breath and got into the bathtub. It was warm and soothing and the sweet smell of the vanilla bath bomb made it better. "This was definitely needed," I whis
I just knew there was no way we weren't going to have an argument, but how could he spend such a huge amount of money in 7 days. "What? How did you spent fifty thousand dollars in a week?" I asked him. He stuffed food in his mouth, chewed softly, swallowed and said "I didn't say I spent it, I just do not have it." "So where is it?" "Invested in something you do not have to know, you can pay me the other half now and could find an apartment for us; the newly wedded couple," he teased. I laughed at his words and let it hang, he had been petty to eat while i questioned him, now i was going to finish my meal before i spoke about anything else. "Aren't you going to say anything?" he asked. I shook my head and continued eating. "So we've concluded this discussion" He asked. I looked up at him, looked back at my meal and continued to much on the meat. "So you are just going to ignore me in the middle of our conversation?" he asked. I shook my head and pointed at my full mouth. "So yo
I shouldn't have to tell him what to do before he does it, but somehow this grown man couldn't do anything on his own, how did I manage to sign a year long contract with such a moron. I waited angrily for his apology but he just took his time looking at me. His piercing gaze made me feel naked and uncomfortable but he wouldn't stop. He'd look at me from my head to my toe and then repeat starting from my toe. "Are you just going to stand and watch me or you are going to recognise the fact that you are being childish and apologize?" I asked him agitated by his attitude. "You think I'm being childish?" he asked me. "Yes i do, because what other reason would make a man leave his wife alone in a hotel on their honeymoon," I yelled. "Remember that all this isn't real, don't let it get serious in your head," He said, poked my forehead slightly. Grabbed his phone and left me again. I groaned in anger and called room service to order for ice cream. At this rate, i was going to be fatter t
