His Unsought Bride

Chapter Seven

Lillian's POV

"Well that leaves just the two of us."

His smile drops when I turn to him with a frown on my face and he drops his hand.

"I would rather not go." I said as I head for the stairs but he quickly blocks me by standing in the way.

"Where are you going to?"

"That doesn't concern you." I say not looking at his face.

"But why? We are supposed to attend the dinner party together."

"How can I trust you when you are mean to me all the time."

"But I promised mother I would take you, what is she gonna think now when I arrive without you?"

I open my mouth to argue but then I closed my mouth thinking.

"Lillian you can't not go, mom and dad would be very disappointed when I tell them you refused to come."

I really hate to say no to these very kind people who have been nothing but nice to me when I first arrived, and what could possibly go wrong, he can't take me late to the dinner party.

I sigh in defeat and he leads the way out going straight to his car and entering, I stood for a few seconds as I watch him enter his car.

"No chauvinistic behaviour today?" I ask him as soon as I enter the car and close the door.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he asks, turning to look at me with a skeptical expression while he starts the car.

"You opened the door for me the last time." I remark.

"So what, you can't open your door now?"

"Never mind." I dismiss.

******

"So why do you do it?" I ask him out of nowhere.

"You will have to be more clear when asking your questions." he says concentrating on his driving.

"When your parents are present you act all nice and sweet to me but when they are not there you act mean and rude like a completely different person, why do you do that?"

He is quiet for some time and I thought he wasn't going to answer me.

"You just annoy me." he finally answers with a shrug.

"Annoy you how?"

I ask him feeling a little conscious

"I don't know, maybe it's because you have such ugly shade of hair and your blue eyes seem a little eerie."

I stare at him dumbstruck and on instinct reached to touch my hear and he burst out laughing.

"Well you annoy me too! But you don't see me complaining!" I exclaim getting mad at him.

"How do I ever annoy you, I'm not the one living in your house." he rolls his eyes at me and goes back to his driving.

"Well if you find my stay so annoying why don't you leave the house, you are old enough to live on your own." I ranted.

"I'm not going anywhere, it's my home! And if anyone is leaving then it would be you."

"it's not your house, it's your parents' house."

"Sounds the same to me." he sings as he turns to me with a smirk on his face and I feel like slamming his ugly face on the wheel but decided to tame my anger and ignore him completely, how can someone be so annoying!

****

I felt relieved when we finally arrive at the house and couldn't wait for the car to be parked as I rushed out of it like I was being suffocated inside, he turns off the car and comes out.

"You could have waited for me to open the door for you" I act as if I didn't hear him and we enter the house.

The house was turned into something suitable for the party and looked very beautiful, since I didn't know anyone here I might as well look for Emily.

"Stay by my side" William said to me.

"No way! I can find my own way." I walk trying to avoid him but he keeps following me, I push through people trying to find a familiar face.

"Hey Wills where have you been?" a woman says standing in front of me wearing a beautiful Lemon green dress, she looks middle aged.

"Hi Aunt Veronica" William turns all nice again and hugs her.

"And who is this lovely looking girl you are with?" she asks turning to me.

"Aunt this is Lillian, Lillian meet my Aunt, she is the host of this party."

"Hi, nice party" I greeted her with a smile on my face adding a compliment even though I don't feel anything nice about the party especially with William tailing me but Aunt Veronica goes ahead and hugs me anyways.

"Thanks!"

"Oh! She's so beautiful and lovely Wills." his Aunt beams at me holding my hands

"Indeed she is." he says and I look up at his face to see him looking at me with something in his eyes and I look away, I don't know why but I just can't make eye contact with him.

"So are you guys like, together or something?"

"No..."

"Not yet..."

The two of us answer simultaneously, I'm starting to think this guy has some sort of bipolar disorder or something, didn't he just finish insulting me a few moments ago?

But his Aunt found it funny as she bursts out with laughter.

"Looks like you have to try harder this time Wills. "

"Oh yes, that is just what I plan to do." he said with determination on his face, now that part got me more confused what does he plan to do?

"Why don't you two go ahead and enjoy yourselves." she pats William's shoulder and leaves to meet other people,leaving me with him again.

"What did you mean when you said not yet and what do you plan to do!?" I turn to him.

"You ask too many questions!" he huffed and walks away and I have never been more glad.
