Married Life

1726 Words
Heading back to our room, I can't help but feel angry at what King's mother had done at the breakfast table. Today was just my first day staying in their house but it felt like I was going to have a tough time coming. Suddenly Shawn starts crying in my arms as if he knows I am unhappy. I had heard that children were often affected by their mother's feelings even as babies but I thought it was a lie. "You shouldn't have left like that. Letting my mother know that you are affected by her isn't a good thing. She will keep on bullying you." King said closing the door as he entered. " Do you think I will let her? She is so determined to make things hard for me. The only reason why I am controlling myself is because of you. I don't want to ruin your chance with your grandmother." I said glaring at him as I continued to try and calm Shawn down. But no matter what I did, Shawn didn't stop crying and even increased his volume. I was becoming frustrated but I didn't want to show it since King was here. Calling for the nanny, I head to the door when King stops me. “Let me try,” King said as he carefully took our son from my arms. His tenderness with our son warms my heart every time I look at him. He didn't know that Shawn was his son but he was still so good to him. Catching me staring at him, King winks at me making me clear my throat. “I have to go to class now. I don't know if I can leave him here since both of us will be going out. It's not like I don't have trust in the nanny, I am just afraid-” “You are afraid that my mother might bully her and take your baby. Is that it? Since you can't bring your son with you, why don't I take him with me to the office?" King asked surprising me. " You want to take him to the office? He cries all the time and he might disturb you. Are you okay with that?” I asked staring at King who nodded his head at me. "Don't worry about a thing. The nanny will be coming along with us too so I am sure nothing bad will happen. Let's go, I will drop you off before heading to the office." King said softly making me stunned. Walking out of our room together, King carries our son in his arms while I carry most of the instruments I might need at school. Heading to the car, King opens the door for me before handing our son to his nanny. “King. Are you going to work now? You didn't even tell me. What? Is your wife now influencing you so much that you can't say goodbye to your mother?” Kingston's mother asked making me sigh. Opening my mouth to say something, I try to speak when King beats me to it. It was obvious he didn't want me to lose my temper. It wasn't my fault. No matter how nice and gentle, I tried to be. Kingston's mother was hard to love. "Come on, mother. You don't get this clingy when our father leaves for work. Besides, Lexie had nothing to do with my decision." King said as he leaned in to peck his mother on her cheek. “ I don't know what else to say. You never listen to what I say and you think I don't know what I am doing but, I am trying to protect you. Alright, you can go ” Kingston's mother said finally letting King go after fixing his tie and jacket. Watching him walk up to the car, I bust out in laughter as I imitate his mother's actions from earlier. “ I thought Prince was the only mama's boy. Seems like I was wrong." I said laughing when King pushed against the car door after closing it. "Take a good look at me. Do I act like Prince in any way?" King asked staring at me intensely. “ What are you----doing? We have to go.” I said stammering anxiously. “Then don't compare us in the future, sweetheart,” King said with a huge smile before placing a kiss on the corner of my mouth and then leaving. Scoffing in disbelief at his actions, I catch the nanny staring at us as she covers Shawn's eyes with her hand. Entering into the car, I turn my gaze to the window feeling embarrassed that the nanny had seen everything. “ Your seatbelt,” King said glancing at me as he started the car pulling out of the house. Arriving at my school, I watch everyone passing by in disbelief as they see King's expensive car. Not wanting them to see me with King, I reach for the door trying to open it so I can escape quickly but King stops me. "Let me do it," King said as he opened his door. “There is no need to," I said stopping as King got down from the car. Looking back at the nanny, I signal her to not come down at all. I didn't want anyone in school to find out about my baby yet. Girls gather in an instant as they see King. Opening the door, King helps me down making all of them surprised. "Lexie," Naom calls out gaining my attention as she runs over to meet me. "Naomi, thank God you are here," I said hugging her before introducing her to Kingston. "It's an honor to meet you again. I have to go to work now so I will meet you later." King said before pushing me forward to him. Knowing what he is about to do, I open my mouth to stop him but instead, it serves as an opportunity for him to kiss me passionately in front of everyone. It was like he was claiming me in front of all the boys in my school but I don't mind. King's passionate kiss sends waves all over my body making me almost forget myself. “Lexie,” Naomi said clearing her throat as she stopped us. “I'll see you later," I said cleaning his lips seductively before letting him go. Once he leaves, Naomi grabs my hand taking me away from the huge crowd that had gathered to see us before. I know she wanted to ask me about King I but she doesn't do it until we head to the cafeteria to eat. “ I was at the wedding. I know that you two are married but I swear I cannot believe it. Are you two really in love? It just seems fishy since you didn't want him to know about your child before." Naomi said. " He doesn't know. He still thinks that Shawn is Prince's baby. It's okay though. All we have is a contract marriage." I said mistakenly letting the truth slip. "Contract marriage? Did I hear you well? Lexie.” Naomi said staring at me. “Enough, Naomi. He wanted to escape the arranged marriage that his mother had prepared for him so he begged me. I agreed because I wanted to get revenge on Prince. It's purely business. Nothing else is going on between us.” I said assuring her. " Wow. I knew you were crazy but I didn't know you were this crazy. How long is this marriage going to be for?" Naomi asked. " Three years. Naomi, don't tell anyone. I know things are going to be hard but I can handle it. Don't worry about me. You should come and see your godson after school. He is a crier. He doesn't stop crying all day and night. The only time he doesn't cry is when he is with King and his nanny.” I said running my hands through my hair. “He is his father. What do you expect? I am so glad that you are doing well right now. I thought you were going to be having a hard time. I was already feeling guilty for telling King about your baby." Naomi said. Heading back to class a few minutes later, both of us stay until school is finished. Just as he had promised, King comes to pick me up immediately school finishes. “I think you were joking about it. You really came to pick me up? Where is Shawn?" I asked looking at the backseat. “They are at the company. Let's go. I am not yet done with my work for today so we have to go back. We will head home together after." King said as he started the car . " Are you sure you can keep this up? Doing this every day will be hectic. Next time, you should just head home after. I will go home after I am done ” I said. “ We are married now. We need to convince my parents and grandma that we are a loving couple. My dad is at the company right now but you cannot see him. We will head up to my office instead.” King said glancing at me. Arriving at his office, I gasp in shock at how huge and tall it was. A skyscraper. His family company's headquarters was a skyscraper. Glancing at King, I start to question myself to see if it was actually a good idea to come along with him. “ Good afternoon, sir. Let me take that ” The valet said collecting King's car keys as he got down. Opening the door for me, King takes all by instruments from me while I am coming down. Taking my hand, King grabs it tightly making me shy. “ Heads up. You're the wife to the VP of the company." King said surprising me. " You're the VP? I thought it was Prince.” I said. “Why? Because I've been away? Both of us are VP's. My father did it that way so that we don't fight against each other. 50-50. But only one person can be the President.” Kings said smiling at me as we walked inside.
