Love and Hate Marriage

Chapter Five

The two of them kissed as if there was no tomorrow. It was as if they have long for it for a very long time that they couldn't even control themselves. Only their moans can be heard inside the vehicle. It seemed as though they were head over heels in love.

Adeline was so out of it that she was forced to take advantage of the situation. Drake gave her a passionate kiss as his hands began to move and crawl all over her body.

Slowly and steadily, up through her legs to her hips and belly. Ciara was chilled and excited at the same time. It was the very first time that she felt that she wanted more. Even though she knew to herself that what they are doing is wrong but she was so into. But she was taken aback and came back to her senses when he heard Tan murmured between their kiss.

He whispered under their passionate kiss, "Carol, love." She abruptly woke up at that point and quickly parted her lips to avoid Tan. Tan moaned and started to pull her once more, but she resisted.

She exclaimed angrily, "No! Stop it, Tan! I am not Carol for pete sake!"

*s**t! Why did I think that way? I was such a fool.* She muttered angrily to herself and tangled her hair in anger.

He shook his head. "Are you leaving me? You gonna leave me? No, please, no. I beg you. I'll do whatever you want. Just don't leave me, Love. Please, I beg you." He pleaded as if he were really speaking to the woman he loved.

Ciara groaned and messed her hair frustratedly. She was the one with him and yet his mind and heart was still entangled with the woman who left him. How cruel and stupid he is.

She said, "Let's go now, Tan. You need to rest. You're just drunk." She then assisted him in exiting the vehicle.

She was able to remove him from the car despite his immense weight. When her mother saw them grinding as they entered Tan's home, she was horrified to see that his son appeared to be inebriated and a complete mess.

Aunt Lily worriedly exclaimed, "Oh my! What the hell happened?" She ask before helping her with Tan but before she could help her, she took a step back and covered her nose. "He reeks in alcohol. Is he drunk?" Aunt Lily asked as she help Ciara in carrying Tan.

She responded, "Yes, he was partying with his friends. Thank goodness I saw him." and they moved on to Tan's room.

Aunt Lily opens Tan's door and asks, "He had been coming home drunk since yesterday. Do you know the reason why, Ciara darling?" She asked.

She shook her head before replying, "I really don't know, but his friends say her girlfriend dumped him."

"Huh? Who? Carol?" She questioned and then began removing Tan's clothing. After giving a shrug, Ciara turned around as Aunt Lily began removing Tan's shirt.

Suddenly, she felt warm and noticed that her cheeks were flushing.

"Uhm, I think I should go on my way Auntie. I just sent Tan's home so he can take a rest." she continued without turning.

"You're leaving? But it's already past 11pm and almost midnight. It's very dangerous for you to drive at this time."

She grinned at her while shaking her head. "Don't worry, auntie. I'll be alright. I drive very slow so you don't have to worry about anything. ."

Aunt Lily shook her head in refusal, "Oh no, I won't let you leave. I don't want to risk your safety because your Mom will surely get mad at me if she somehow finds out that I let you home when it's already veru late at night. Don't worry, you can stay here. She won't get mad if you don't come home tonight. I will call her and tell her that you're here."

Ciara look at herself from head to toe, "But I don't have any clothes to change auntie. It's not like I'm gonna sleep like this?" and the woman started to laugh.

She then smiled at her and ask, "Is that what you are worried at?"

Ciara nod her head. The old woman laughed and shook her head. "Don't worry. I have something here that I wasn't able to used since I bought it. I will give it to you." She said and tap Ciara's shoulder. "You just wait for a minute okay? I'll go get your clothes so you can change and take a rest." She nod her head. When the old woman left, she roamed her eyes around the room and started to take a few steps around.

She has been visiting Tan's house for so many times, and she has undoubtedly stayed in the guest room before, this is her first time in his room. He is genuinely so manly. The only colors used to decorate his room are black and white.

*Hmm. Very well done,"* her mind murmured.

Her heart responded, "That's why you like him," making her smile.

She circled the area to inspect his possessions. She didn't touch anything; instead, she just looks at it because she is naturally curious. She walked over to his nightstand and noticed some pictures.

Carol and Tan.

On the photograph, they were hugging and smiling broadly. How deeply in love they are is evident in their eyes. She suddenly felt uneasy and hurt.

*I wish I was the one who you are hugging tightly. I wish you loved me instead of someone else. I wish you could look at me the way you look at her.* She has so many "what ifs," but she is aware that they are all illogical. Realizing how much Tan loves the woman. She let out another heavy sigh as she turned to face Tan, who was sound asleep.

Why can't you just love me instead of her? I'm always here for you and I promise that I'll give you everything and make you happy. Why can't it be me? Just why?

Even though he is wasted and inebriated, he still looks stunning and hot. Ciara sigh.

Aunt Lily entered the room carrying clothing as Ciara continued walked around inspecting his room.

She apologized for keeping her waiting and handed her the clothes, hoping it would fit.

"Thank you, Auntie." She said to her. Tan's mom smile and nod her head at her.

She turned her back around and the old woman and was about to leave the room but she was stopped by her.

"Where are you going?"

She questioned bewilderedly, "Uhm, to change my clothes?" She occasionally seems unable to comprehend the woman.

Her Aunt pointed to the Tan's restroom and said, "Yeah. But why are you leaving? There is the bathroom." Ciara's eyes slightly went wide and the old woman seems to notice it. "Why? Is there any problem?"

She gave a head shake. "Oh, I'm fine auntie. There's no need for me to change her. I'll just go directly to the guest room and change my clothes there."

The woman suddenly look apologetic, "Oh. I'm sorry darling but I forgot to tell you that the guest room isn't available now so you can't sleep there. We made some renovations in the room and it's not yet finished."

Ciara nod her head. "Uhm okay. So where should I stay then auntie?" She asked unknowingly.

The old woman smile brightly at her and then pointed out Tan's bed. "Here. You'll be staying with the same bed with my son."

Her eyes widen and she exclaimed, "Auntie!" in shock at what the woman had said.

The old woman was taken aback from her reaction. Her forehead creased at her. "Why? It's not like you two are gonna do something right? Besides, my son is drunk and he sometimes suddenly just went up from his bed and sleep on the floor so you don't have to worry about anything."

Aunt Lily was aware of her feelings for Tan's, but she must naturally continue to act normally.

She continued, still unable to believe the woman had said to her, "But still. It's very inappropriate for us to sleep together in the same bed auntie. We're grown ups."

The old woman grinned. "Don't worry. If that happens, you have my blessing." Ciara's eyes widened.

"Auntie!" She exclaimed. She knows Tan's mom.was just kidding her but it does still makes her feel nervous..

The woman glanced at her wristwatch and said, "Okay. I'll leave you no we because I need to call you mom. Goodnight, honey."

The old woman left the room.

*s**t! Now what should I do? *

She used the restroom and quickly took a bath. When she was done, she wiped her body using Tan's towel. She was very happy as she wiped the towel on her body. She then took the clothes that his mother gave her. Her eyes widened when she noticed the type of clothing Tan's mother had given her, she muttered an expletive. It's a sliver-colored dress nightie with lace trim.

She curse because she isn't used to such thing in someone's home or in a hotel because it looks very daring. In fact, she only wears it when she goes to bed in her own home. However, wearing it in Tan's home is a different matter entirely. She didn't have a choice, though, so she continued to wear it.

As she exited the restroom, she turned to face Tan, who was still soundly dozing. She groaned.

She said, frustrated, "What am I gonna do now?" She murmured, "Should I sleep on the floor instead?" She gave a head shake. She sat on the bed and yelled silently so she could not wake the man. "Arggg! I shouldn't have taken you home, asshole!"

She can't do anything and lay down beside the man on his bed. She needs to rest because she is so worn out and exhausted. Simply getting up early tomorrow will prevent Tan from spotting her.

She took her time falling asleep so as not to disturb the man. In his bed, she feels completely different. It feels cozy, and she enjoys that feeling. She was simply contemplating the ceiling when she became unaware that she had fallen asleep.
