Alessandro and Xaviera finished eating, as they both sat there, not knowing whether to get up or to stay and watch each other.
"Ain't you guys done? Perhaps you can go and have fun in your bedroom." Rosetta told them.
"No grandma, we love it here." Xaviera said immediately Rosetta finished speaking.
"No grandma, we'd go upstairs, we have some unfinished business. We'd love to continue." Alessandro also said.
"Come on, let's go." He said as he held Xaviera by the arm, as they both went upstairs.
Xaviera looked worried as they entered inside the room.
"Why are you sad? Come on! It's just a shower. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. We'd just hold each other as the water falls on us. Let's go." Sandro pulled her to the bathroom, against Xaviera's will. She wished she could stand up for herself, to tell him she didn't like that idea.
"Strip!" He exclaimed, with a smirk. Xaviera stood there, thinking of how to escape.
"Won't you? Or should I help you? I'd do it, after all that's what I'm good at." He smirked.
"N.no. I don't want to be naked in the presence of someone I'm not married to. And besides, you are only gonna hurt me, because you don't love me. And you have a girlfriend." Xaviera mumbled shyly.
"Really? But it's you I'm going to marry, not Violeta. I think there's nothing we both can do to stop this shit. We just have to get married to please our families, then, we'd live our normal lives- That'd be better. Because I don't want to hurt my family. This is the only thing that'd keep them smiling."
"I guess." Xaviera mumbled.
"Let's go. I have to take an afternoon shower. I don't want my skin to turn red."
"Please don't do this. Please." Xaviera said, as she almost let out a tear.
"But why? Am I not allowed to shower? With my soon to be wife? Stop being childish, I know you are shy. But all you'd have to do is to shut your eyes while I hold you in my arms. Good idea- right?" Sandro said.
"I don't want to do it. Because it won't be fair."
"Why?"
"You'd just see my body parts, then that's all. After that, you'd go and see your lover. I don't want to be anybody's sidekick. I just want to be given all the attention and love. I want to marry a man who'd love my company, not someone who just has interest in getting intimate me." Xaviera stated.
"I see. So you won't do what I asked? I'd tell your mom, and everyone downstairs. I'd tell them that you don't want us to take our bathes together. And you know they'd disagree with you." Sandro threatened.
"So be it. Tell them. I know my mom, and she'd never let me do something immoral with someone I'm not married to. And I know very well that your family won't support you."
"Really?" Sandro bought what she said. He knew his grandma and the rest of his family won't agree to that. He just wanted to blackmail her.
"Then I'd do it my way!" He exclaimed, as he went closer to Xaviera. "Do it or I fuck you here!" He yelled.
"You are joking- right?" Xaviera said with a hint of shiver in her voice.
"I don't joke, okay?" He scoffed.
"Choose, I'm waiting." He added.
"You mean if I refuse to have a bathe with you, you'd rape me?" Xaviera asked.
"Did I say rape? The keyword is fuck."
"You can't do it, because, I'd tell everyone that you raped me. Which is forbidden in my hometown. Sex before marriage is a sin." Xaviera said boldly.
"Let's see how that goes." He said, as he carried her on his shoulder, as he took her to the bedroom.
Poor Xaviera kept on yelling for help, but what she didn't know was that, the doors were all soundproof. No one would be able to hear her.
