1655 Words
The two weeks of courtship passed, and Charles was confident that Amy was going to choose him.
Over the past few days, they have spent so much time together and yes making Amy fall head over heels in love with him was the mission but he kind of started liking her…
what’s not to like?
She is intelligent, outgoing, fun and she is beautiful and having her as a wife wouldn’t be the worst thing to ever happen to him and actually, it would be amazing…
She is going to be Tate’s co-CEO which means that he will always know whatever Tate is up to, today was the day they will have a meeting and Amy will tell everyone who she wants to marry…
Harley has been gone on a trip and she came earlier so that she can hear who Amy has decided to marry and find a way to change her mind, there was no way she was going to let her marry into the Anderson family…
Harley went straight to the office because she called Amy who told her that she is in the office, she went inside without knocking and she found Tate alone in the office…
“Ohhh hi I came to see Amy, I am her cousin Harley.” she said with a sweet smile.
“Your cousin isn’t here, she is having lunch with her future husband.” said Tate and he didn’t mean for it to come out like that…
He sounded so bitter but to Harley he just sounded like someone who didn’t care, “her future husband? Ohhh mean Charles, I thought she hasn’t chosen ye.t” said Harley...
“I am really busy Miss leave” he said coldly, Harley smiled awkwardly as she was about to leave Amy came in…
Tate could see the smile on Amy’s face, she has that same smile only after having lunch with Charles and she doesn’t smile like that with him, “ohhh Harley” said Amy hugging her cousin…
Tate could swear that he saw her expression change when she was hugging Harley but when they broke the hug, she still had the same happy smile on her face…
“I just came to see you, so I heard that you will be choosing your future boo, who is it going to be??” asked Harley, Tate pretended to be working on his files, but he was listening to their conversation…
“You cousin know me better than anyone in this world, who do you think I will choose?” Amy asked making Harley smile, she has known Amy for years and it was a sure thing that Amy would choose Charles...
Looking at the guys she has dated she likes guys who are caring, funny, have a great sense of humor, are kind and that she can easily talk too and that is the opposite of Tate…
Tate is cold, doesn’t talk much, doesn’t care about anything, he is the opposite of the kind of guy that Amy would fall for, “well then cousin, I will see you tonight.” said Harley with a big smile…
Tate didn’t know why but he knew that Amy was going to choose Charles and it made him uncomfortable, he kept looking down on the floor trying to hide that he felt something…
Amy sat down and kept working like nothing was wrong, he wanted to ask her who she was going to choose, “stop staring at me, you want to know who I am going to choose don’t you?” she asked him…
Tate looked at her and didn’t show any interest, Amy got up and sat on his lap, he looked at her surprised that she would do something so unexpected…
They never had that intimate or s****l chemistry at all, actually he has never seen her in a s****l way before, she was always just the girl who might be his wife but now that she was sitting on his lap he felt things…
He felt this heat and the overwhelming need to take her then and there, “you might not want to know or aren’t interested in knowing but I will tell you anyways.” she said with her mouth close to his ear…
He could feel her hot breath and her soft skin against his rough skin, “I am going to choose you Tate, I want you to be my husband” she said leaving him surprised…
she got up from his lap but it was like she was still there, he was frozen trying to understand what she just said, she obviously was lying when she said that she was going to choose him…
Why did it even affect him so much?
He could swear that his heart did a little dance when she said that she wants him to be her husband, that she was going to choose him and just the mere possibility that she might be telling the truth made him feel things…
She left the room with a smirk on her face, she felt his hard-on when she was sitting on his lap so it was great to know that she made even a man like Tate get a hard-on for her…
She went straight to the shooting range, she has made a lot of progress now that she can even take a gun and hold it without getting a panic attack…
“So you will have to pull the trigger.” said Dru, he could see that Amy’s hand was shaking and that she couldn’t do, “that’s not how to teach a person like her to shoot” said a female voice behind them…
“What do you mean by a person like her?” Amy asked with a pout.
“Well you obviously have been a victim of gun violence of a kind, I can see it in your face when you try to pull the trigger its like you can see what happened to you” said the mysterious woman…
“And who are you?” asked Amy, “ohhh, sorry I am Mary.” she said, “and you know a lot about guns because?” asked Dru.
“Ohhh yeah I worked in the navy as a trainer… most of the people I trained had experienced a lot of gun violence and they have seen people die right in front of their eyes.” said Mary…
“Well, then Mary what would you recommend?” Amy asked her, Dru stepped aside and let the woman take charge.
“So you can focus on one thing, you need to channel your inner anger and hatred…let it cloud the fear, can you do that?” Mary asked, and Amy nodded “I have a lot of anger and hatred, I think I can tap into some of it.” she said…
She did exactly what Mary told her and tapped into her anger and hatred, she pulled the trigger and then bullseye, she turned around and looked at Mary.
“I need to buy you lunch as a thank you and I have a job proposal.” said Amy as she walked out with her new friend…
Tate looked at his watch and it was time to go but he didn’t want to go, he knew that Amy was going to choose Charles and for some reasons he didn’t want to be there when that happens…
He decided that he won't go and then Amy’s words started replaying in his mind over and over again ‘I am going to choose you Tate, I want you to be my husband’… was she lying ??? was she only playing with his feelings? But what if she chooses him and he isn’t there??
It would be embarrassing, the least he could do is show up even if she won't pick him, so despite him not wanting to go something kept telling to go and be there just in case….
The dinner was being held at the Anderson mansion and everyone was there, Charles’s parents, his two younger sisters Charlie and Dove and also May who is Tate’s sister was there too…
The siblings had the same father and because they had different mothers so they divided themselves, Tate and his sister May were close while Charles was close to his sisters…
They hated having dinner together as a family and they always thought that it was torture, they had nothing in common and they hated each other’s guts…
Tate was the intelligent and responsible son and also the heir so it made sense that the others would hate him, had Tate not existed then Charles would be the heir…
They sat there with smirks and happy smiles on their faces, Charles told them about Amy and how madly in love she seems to be with him, knowing that his brother was going to be the one to marry her made them happy…
They were master manipulators, all they have to do is manipulate and fool Amy into giving Charles all her shares, and then they will be super rich…
Amy and her parents came a few minutes after Tate, Amy wore a simple green emerald dress that hugged her body and also some sneakers…
Tate has noticed how much she hates heels that even in the office she takes them off and wears something comfortable, they said their greetings and had dinner.
When they were having desert Mr. Anderson finally spoke up, “okay the suspense is killing me here, Amy I believe you have made your decision.” he said and Amy nodded.
“So which brother of mine are you going to marry?” asked Charlie.
“Well I have decided that I want to get married to Tate.” she said.
“What?” Tate and everyone else asked surprised….
