Chasing My Forbidden Cowboy!!

THE REVELATION

(MARILYN’S POV)

I did not stop for even a second until I was now seated in bed with my knees up to my chin. Was I dreaming? Or did all the cowboys look alike around here?

I knew there was no way that was possible. It had to be him! It was him! But what was he doing here? I closed my eyes and covered myself in the duvet.

How crazy was this? I decided to live life on the edge this one time and this happens? I lost my virginity to some guy who works for Liam?

I felt like I wanted to disappear or run away? Was he their personal worker? Or was he someone who comes everyday? What would happen if he should tell Liam what happened last night? Liam would tell mum then and I would be screwed!

It felt like my life was ruined now and without any motivation to do anything at all, I decided that I would spend the whole day inside until it was time for me to face the reality of what I had done. He would definitely tell on me to Liam and then I shall be scolded or worse punished more by mum for such a reckless behavior.

I felt embarrassed all over and over again as I remembered what had happened.

And the after hours of locking myself up in my room, there was a gentle knock on the door. I froze in fear! Who could it be? Liam here to scold me? Or mum? Or Liam and Mum? Or the cowboy? Or-

The knock came again but I was still too scared to give a reply and then the door opened a little and mum poked her head around. Our eyes met and my heart was racing as I expected her to give me the look that showed me I was f****d up. But instead, mum smiled at me kindly and came on in.

“Hy baby.” She said as she came to get seated on my bed.

With the way she started, I could tell that she was not here to scold me about anything. So maybe the worker was yet to tell them what happened. Or maybe Liam had not told mum yet?

“Are you okay baby?” Mum asked as she pushed my hair aside from my forehead.

I sighed in response. That was how I felt but I then gave her a reply.

“I’m fine mum.” I said

She nodded at me and played with her fingers a little before she looked me in the eyes.

“You’ve been locked in your room for a long time now. You missed breakfast and then you missed lunch and now it’s almost time for dinner.” She said to me. “Liam and I were worried about you.”

Well then we should not have left New York! I wanted to say

But there was really no need to start another argument, there was no point in it. I was here and that was that. Throwing tantrums and arguing was not going to take me to New York as much as I wished that it would . Besides, I did not even have the mind to deal with that because all I could think of was the cowboy I lost my virginity to and he wa downstairs in that barn.

“Lyn…. I know you don’t want to be here and I am really sorry that I had to pull you in to this.” Mum said to me with sad and pleading eyes. “But you know how happy Liam makes me. And he is trying so hard to make things right. He has been trying for a long time to get on your good side you know?”

“Moving us out of New York was not a good move then.” I could not help but say to mum.

“That was not his idea. It was mine.” Mum confessed to me.

I looked at her in disbelief with the hopes that she was joking but she looked dead serious and I know mum well enough to know when she is telling me the truth.

“Why would you do that?” I cried to her.

“Because ever since we lost your father I have not found anyone to make me happy.” She said to me. “Liam makes me very happy. And I wanted to take a chance for a new life for us here. And I want you to try your best to give it a chance. You may come to love it. I am loving it already.”

That is because you love Liam! I have not been here for a full 24 hours and my life was already headed towards being a walking disaster. But I did not say anything ride to mum. I don’t Like Liam one bit but I do know something for sure and that is he makes Mum very happy.

“Please give this a chance with a more open mind and a less grumpy face.” Mum pleaded. “Let them see my pretty, happy Marilyn.”

She tugged at my cheeks playfully and I smiled back at her. I love my Mum more than anything in the entire world. Perhaps that is why I am so angry with Liam for stealing her away from me.

“Fine.” I agreed and mum gave me a hug and kissed.

“Good. Now have your bath, put on something nice and we will meet downstairs yeah?” Mum said standing up.

I looked at her confused.

“Why do I have to?” I asked

She pouted at me with plea in her eyes.

“Because it’s our first dinner here. And I want us to have dinner with his family.” Mum said

I groaned.

“Come on Lyn. You said you’ll try.” She said

I hesitated and then I sighed.

“Are the workers going to be there?” I asked her sliding the question in casually.

Mum looked like she was surprised at the question.

“No. The workers have gone home.” Mum said as she got to the door. “It’s just a small family dinner okay? Please put on something pretty to match a pretty smile.”

With a kiss blown at me, she was out of my room. I put on a simple floral dress and packed my hair in to a ponytail. I was not looking forward to dinner, I was only doing this for mum.

When I got downstairs, I followed the noise and found the kitchen. Mum hurriedly brought me in and Liam said I look pretty.

“Thanks.” I said with a tight smile which seemed good enough for mum.

“Now come on darling. I want you to meet Liam’s younger brother, Louis and his fiancée Lilliana.” Mum said with a bright smile and she steered me towards a direction.

I turned around ready with the fakest smile ever and then I froze. My eyes widened like they were going to pop out of their sockets.

“Louis, I want you to meet my daughter, Marilyn. But we all call her Lyn for short.” Mum said

Right there and then, I wanted to faint. I was looking at the cowboy I had fallen on in the barn. The same one that I had lost my virginity to last night. The same one that I thought was a worker. And it turned out that he is Liam’s brother??!! Liam’s brother?!!

“f**k my life!” I said without control.
