Indecent Proposal- MN FF-Part13-pg35 - Page 6

The wooden floor tweaked. I raised my one eyelid. Something was moving on the floor. I pulled the robes of my night gown closer. Again I could hear a scratching sound. Was he here? I had locked the room from inside out before positioning myself in the huge bed and trying to sleep which was determined to evade me. The locking system was an upgraded version of B-03. Did he knew the password?

I chided myself for this thought. Why would he break in my room in the middle of the night? He surely had no interest in exercising his rights as my husband whatsoever. A huge metallic sound boomed off the floor.

"AAArrRggghHH" I screamed at the top of my lungs and jumped off the bed switching on the lights. I was alone in the room.

"Open the door." He gently knocked on the door.

I pressed the green button and saw him standing outside in his blue sweatshirt and white pajamas looking utterly bored.

"Saw a bad dream? Or are you still chicken to sleep alone? Sorry moma's not here. Learn to sleep with mouth shut cause otherwise you have none but me for company here."

"What?..I didn't...You...I don't want you on my room!"

"Your room? Since when you started to have feelings of ownership in my property? It's your guest room. Mind it. And don't worry I have no interest left in sharing anything with you lest a room. But then if you disturb my sleep howling like a wolf in midnight what choices I get left then?" he raised his brow.

A small pug with one eye black and the other white stared out at me from behind his back.

"Is that ugly creature yours? He was the one making those weird sounds in the corridor!"

"That's a Polish breed. One of the rarest and expensive kinds. His name is Ralph. Take care not to scare him with your howling in the night."

"What the...?"

He took Ralph in his arms and walked back to his room impervious to my presence.

I stared at the ceiling again at those twinkling neon lights danced in the dark above. He still remembers that? I shook my head. No flashbacks this time. I was determined not to let past memories invade me.

...A huge lushy green meadow with yellow sunflowers swaying in the gentle breeze. There was a small shining creek running criss-cross across the meadow. A white bench stood there. Two persons were sitting there beginning to feel the magic of love entwining hands...

The strong blazing light irritated me. I tried blocking the sunlight with my hands raised. How could the early morning rays be so harsh? I looked at wall clock. It was five minutes fast ten. Hurriedly I woke up rubbing my eyes. The stupid dream had made me so late.

He was sitting on the breakfast table all dressed up and eating his French toast overlooking his i-pad.

"Surfing bikini babes this early?"

"If only I had not the misfortune to keep up with the latest stock market trends I would have been surfing them."

"Such a pity." I sat on the opposite chair and started to make myself a toast.

"Why don't you translate your compassion into action and care to don one of those for me?"

"What?" I choked on my bread coughing loudly.

He rolled his eyes and went back to his I-pad as I gulped down water. Silence reigned the dining table.

"How's Angelena doing? " I finally asked . My patience was giving away.

The temperature in the room suddenly went down. The atmosphere intensified the moment I uttered her name. His face went stonier if possible. He slowly raised his eyes to meet mine and coldly retorted. "Never saw her look better now that you mentioned." He went back to his i-pad without change of expression.

Hot fuming coals seemed to burn inside me. Suddenly I felt sick.

"Why me? Why did you marry me?"

Without bothering to look at me he replied" Just go and attend your new job. Being late on the first day do not leave a good impression."

"It could have been Angelena in my place. Why me?"

He raised his head this time." Don't make your little head float that I still care for you. I had no option but to choose you."

"What crap are you saying? What options you had? Why the hell you married me? I have a right to know!"

"You asked before marriage and my answer has not yet changed. You don't need to know."

"Damn! I am your freaking legal wife for god's sake! I was duped into this by you!"

"You weren't convinced by my proposal before. Yet you agreed to marry me. You had your own selfish priorities well-etched from before."

"I thought I could handle it. But it's suffocating me now. The task of seeing your face every moment in close proximity is daunting."

"Trust me I don't feel anything but repulsion at the sight of you. Still I am bearing you. You have the option to leave my house. I don't give two hoots."

I raised his collar lurching at him." Just answer me! Why did you marry me now? I am not letting you go without an answer! You were no where all these years and now you've no right to play with my emotions. Is it for that night??"

He brutally jerked me away. " I do not seek revenge for that night. You didn't want to listen to me then . I have no intention in making myself clear to you anymore."

"Who are you interested in then? That bitch?"

"Shut your mouth or else I will."

"Huh...As if you can dare to touch me anymore...You can have that bitch all to yourse..."

His watery tongue lashed inside my mouth as he smashed his lips against mine. Trying hard to balance myself as my knees started to go weak I pulled back his hair only to pull him more closer. His hot breath conveyed the intensified emotions. My hands inadvertently went up to his shirt buttons and began to unbutton them. I fell on the couch behind with him over as we began to lose our senses. A moan escaped my mouth as his mushy movements glided down my throat and went further down. My toes hurted under the pressure of his strong feet. An electric impulse rushed all over the skin on my body as his hands slided down my waist.

"Mayank!" My strength was threatening to give away.

He rose up and bend down to pick up his tie that I had thrown off. Red nail marks shone on his chest as cheeks reddened the same shade. Hastily I went about to unruffled my dress taking care not to look at him.

"Don't dare me in the future. One can manage his own emotions but it gets a little difficult when the other person is not willing to let go off hers."
