It started with arranged marriage

Chapter 29

- Eric William Miller  -

I was enjoying the time with Lily. God this woman has something. I couldn’t explain how I felt when I was around her. I just felt like something was pulling me closer to her. And now she was sitting on my lap, yeah unwillingly. I couldn’t help but just laughed at her action when she covered her mouth while hiccuping. She was afraid that I might kiss her like last night. Honestly, I regret that I just let her sleep without consummating our marriage. On the other hand, I was glad I didn’t do it too because I knew she was not ready yet. 

“Now let go of me,” she struggled. 

“Say please, nicely,” I stated. 

“Okay! Fine! Please, can you let me go now,” she said. I knew she had been a wildcat but somehow she ended up following my way.  

I let her go and then she was heading to our bedroom. And I was following her. 

“Why are you following me? Don’t you have anything to do?” she questioned me.

“I’m following you, maybe we can do something fun under the shower, ” I grinned at her as if doing something fun. 

“You p*****t!” she blushed and ran off to the bathroom and locked the door quickly. I was just left laughing at her outside of the bathroom. 

“This woman is something,” I murmured myself quietly and headed to the dressing to get change. I got an emergency call from Jimmy early this morning and I needed to head to the office. I quickly left a message for Lily to Sarah that I would come and pick her up for dinner at six pm. 

When I arrived at the office, Jimmy already called for the emergency meeting and everyone was there waiting for me to start the meeting. The meeting was long and it was already 5 pm. I was thinking about Lily, I should spend time with Lily right now and here I was dealing with company work right after the first day after I got married. I kept looking at my watch. Jimmy noticed that so he came and told me that most of the important parts to solve the problems were finished so he suggested that I should go back first. 

Then I told everyone to continue working and I left the office first. I called Lily and informed her I would be arriving home in 30 minutes. After a few minutes' drive, I arrived home earlier than I expected. 

Lily was already waiting for me in the living room. She wore a really outfit, white V-neck T-shirt with a jean jacket and black skirt. I couldn’t help but just immerse in her beauty, simple yet sexy and elegant. 

“Are you ready?” I asked as I took a seat next to her. 

“Ready to go,” she said as she stood up. I grabbed her arm gently and told her to wait for the driver, Jack. I was too tired to drive, I spent most of my energy on dealing with the emergency work at the company today. 

“Oh! Ok! Are you ok? You look tired. If you are tired, we can just eat at home,” she suggested. She seemed to worry about me. I snitched the opportunity quickly and gave her a soft kiss. She startled because of my kiss and her cheeks were turning into red. 

“Now, I’m not tired anymore,” I said as Sarah informed us the car was in front of the porch and then I told her to follow me to the car. I found teasing her that way, giving an unexpected kiss was fun. I was smiling and walking toward the car while she was following me behind. At the same time, I was thinking why I acted like that and why I couldn’t control myself when I was around her. I reminded myself this was not the main goal of marrying her. Good side of me was telling me to forget about my goal and be good to Lily but another side of mine, the devil side of me, was telling me not to treat Lily nicely and focus on my goal. 

But then I decided to not think about it for now and decided to enjoy the moment. I opened the car door for Lily and then I hopped into the car from another side. After driving for a few minutes, we arrived at the Italian restaurant that I reserved in advance. The receptionist saw us and took us to our designate table. As soon as we took a seat, the waitress delivered us the menu first. While we were selecting the menu, the waitress was trying to flirt with me. She was literally showing her big boob intentionally. I tried to ignore her and focus on the menu. Then Lily was giving me that uncomfortable face because of that waitress. Gosh! How came that women could act so cheaply that she saw I was with my wife plus I was also wearing a ring. But then still she dared to flirt with me in front of my wife. 

“Can I talk to the manager,” I stated. She started to freak out and tried to apologize for her previous action. But it was too late I couldn’t just let her go easily. I came here to enjoy a peaceful date with my wife and she ruined my night especially she made Lily uncomfortable. 

“Miss, don’t worry about that. No need to call the manager,” Lily stopped her right before she went to call the manager. After that she told the waitress to come back in a minute to get the order. 

I was like, What! What was wrong with this woman. How could she just let her go like that. “Lily! Ahh! What was that?” I asked her with a full of frustration. 

“If you call the manager, she might lose her job or cut her paycheck. She might have a family to support, plus why do you need to call her manager when she didn’t make any big mistake,” she calmly added. 

“She’s slut, flirting with me right in front of my wife, you and making you uncomfortable. Is that not a big mistake then what?” I was angry more to Lily now then the f*****g waitress. How could she didn’t react or stay calm when some girl was flirting with her own husband? But then I realized why I should even care about that when I had a different agenda for this marriage. 

“Are you done?” I asked her with my dark cold tone and she nodded. I called the waiter and gave the order. 

The whole dinner was finished with silence without any conversation. I paid the bill and then both of us were waiting for the car in front of the restaurant. Till that time, we didn’t share a single word even not standing close. If someone didn't know that we were a married couple they might think that we were total strangers. 

Meantime, the car arrived and both of us took a seat in the back seat. Even in the car, we were trying to read each other's mood without making any conversation. Half way before we reached our house, she cleared her throat like she was about to say something.  

“Ahham!” 

She cleared her throat while turning her head to my direction. “I’m sorry about earlier,” she apologized to me. At first I didn’t know how to react because I didn't expect she would say sorry. 

“I wasn’t thinking from your side, why you wanted to call the manager. I was just pitying her because she might lose her job and I know you are capable of doing it, that’s why. Again! I’m sorry,” she explained. 

“I’ll forgive you if you give me a kiss,” here I was again misbehaving and took the opportunity. I didn’t understand why I was craving her kiss since the day that I kissed her at the wedding. That was the first time that I kissed her and since then I wanted more and more. But then she still didn’t kiss me yet and now we had already arrived at our house. Jack was opening the car door for me but I closed it right away. 

“If you don’t kiss me now, I will kiss you hard the whole night and then___” she kissed me right away when I haven’t finished my sentence yet. Then she ran into the house. I couldn’t help myself but just laugh at her blushingness.
