I walked in the house with my bag on my shoulders exhaling from all that shit I went through. Today was weird. James never kisses me and now I have butterflies in my tummy. Plus a confused mind.
Ladies and gentlemen, I need a long vacation.
Maria, our maid, came to take my bag and gestured to the kitchen.
"Good luck, princesa." She whispered as she rushed off with my bag.
I huffed as I knew that meant my mom was there.
Breathe in and out.
In and out I silently repeated.
With my back straight and my face masked, I entered the room.
"Mother dearest, you've requested to see me." I said with a small smile.
"Yes, dear. We need to sort out your arrangements concerning your husband and your lifestyle." She replied smoothly as she looked at the cook. The cook switched off the stove and left hurriedly.
There it goes.
"What are your suggestions mother?" I asked taking a seat on the chair.
"I was thinking you and James should get married at the Eiffel tower. Than he can work and you can be a stay-at-home wife."
"How about no?"
"Lusi dear you won't have to get your hands dirty with anything. All you will have to do is smile and be respectful. And-"
"No! Mom I want to work and enjoy my life. No offense but I don't want to be you. I don't really care bout what he does or how much he makes but at least let me have a bit if an option in my life especially since you plan on marrying me off to that idoita"
"Lusi you watch your mouth, now-"
"No mama! I and James cannot get along. And you definitely know it. I will work. You can plan the wedding if you want to. I don't care." I sighed as I stood and walked out. Ignoring my moms calls and her stupid pleads. I barely have a life especially because of these stupid arrangements.
Mom and dad were arranged and now I am. Most of the families were to keep the rich names going. I hated it. Despised it. Slamming my bedroom door, I immediately put on my headphones and began listening to 'let me go' by Avril.
Shutting out the fact that I hadn't studied or done my homework.
Cheers to Life.
