6-Why Me?

The next day I heard a very loud knock on my door. Ugh, I checked the time and it was 7:30am. I'm going to kick his ass. I opened it and he just entered the room. No good morning, nothing. How rude.

"It's really early, why are you here?" I yawned.

"Let yesterday be, the first and last time, you talk rude to Laura!"

"I told her the truth, besides the whole, I see you as a money sign." I rolled my eyes at him.

"You saw us?"

"Yeah, I heard her annoying voice, and guided me to the kitchen, I thought you two were gonna have sex there." I told him. "How do you put up with her annoying vo-"

"Savannah," He was about to lose it. "Laura, is just a friend who I really care about."

I sighed. "Luke, you don't care about her, nor even love her. She left you for years."

"Pfft. You know nothing. And I told you to stay out of my private life."

"Listen to me very clear. You force this marriage on me, I'm behaving and acting like a loving wife, just so you can get whatever it is that you want." I was becoming emotional. "But what I don't appreciate is you cheating, even if this whole thing is based on a lie!"

"I consider cheating when kissing and having sex, all we did was just get close."

"Right, and the whole, I'll leave her soon bla bla." I mimicked his voice.

"I'm just confused with her back." He shrugged.

"We can just divorce and say I cheated and the baby isn't yours. Then you can be with Laura." I said as I rubbed my belly. "It's not fair, that I'm stuck in this loveless marriage while you're out there with someone." I wiped my tears.

"Doesn't work that way." He glared at me. "My parents don't like her, and neither does Valerie. But to get what I want, I knew I needed someone like you."

I crossed my arms and just looked at him. "After you get what you want, and divorce me, wouldn't your father take it away, when he sees you with, Laura?"

"I told you, I'm not sure about her. Yeah I'll admit yesterday we got somewhat close, but I never kissed her, nor had sex. And yes, I'm pretty sure he would find a way to take what I deserve, away."

"Will you just tell me, what it is that you want so bad, you had to marry some stranger?"

He sighed and was about to exit the room, when I grabbed his hand and made him face me.

"Luke, tell me. I deserve to know."

"Fine." He sat on the couch and said. "My father told me that, I can only be the next CEO, of his company, if I married someone."

"Okay, you're already married, what's stopping him?"

"Beats the hell out of me.” He shrugged.

"Give him time, I'm sure the position will come to you, when you least expect it." I gave him a small smile. He returned it.

...................

A few days went by, Luke and I, were talking a bit more. I did tell him that he needs to stop seeing, Laura. Maybe that's what stopping his father. I'm pretty sure the man has eyes everywhere.

My shift ended early, so I went for a walk at the park, the day was beautiful and breezy.

"I thought you got rid of it?" A voice I haven't heard in months said. Why me? I'm tired of dramas.

I turned around and saw him with a girl.

"Asshole, I told you I wasn't getting rid of my baby." I glared at him.

"I can always do it for you." He smirked. "One little push to the middle of the road and you're out. Two for the price of one."

I felt arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to them. "I would rethink that, you touch my wife and I'll end your life."

"Wife?" He was confused. "You married her, knowing she's pregnant and with someone else's baby?"

"The baby is mine, and I suggest you stay away from my wife and child." He said to Owen, with so much anger.

"Uhm, let's go somewhere else, babe." The girl told Owen. He followed her.

"Thanks." I hugged Luke, as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "I was scared, he would actually do what he said."

"If there's one thing I don't tolerate, is men laying a hand on a woman, especially one that's pregnant."

"Who knew, you had a heart." I said through muffles. He chuckled. "But seriously thanks."

"You're welcome. Now come on, I want some ice cream."

He interlaced our fingers and we walked to the nearest ice cream place. Hmm, strange. Either my hormones are acting up, or I'm going insane. Did I just freaking felt butterflies?

We entered the place, and ordered, and then took a seat at a booth.

"What were you doing at the park?" I asked in between bites.

"I went to your workplace, I needed to tell you something. Then the owner said you left and probably went for a walk and then I found you with that bastard."

"Ah, so what did you want to tell me?" I took another spoon full of vanilla ice cream and ate it.

"A friend invited me to a business dinner at his house. Would you like to come with me?”

"If they're nice, I'll go." I replied.

"They are."

"Alright." I nodded.

We actually had a nice time. It's better than him being all robot Luke, who only works. Let's hope it stays like this for a while.
