Clarissa
Sophie had spent the night here all because she did not want to miss out on her favourite television series.
Once she had left, I got back to my ever worrying self.
And last night
Apparently the will you "marry me" thing was insane.
Maybe he was drunk or something?
I mean, how can you ask a stranger to marry you?
Is he trying to bring out a sequel to Snow White or something.
I mean, I am not a dead girl in a coffin with 7 dwarfs all around me but still.
And I guess I am not that much of a stranger, since I crashed into his lovely Bugatti.
Then my phone started ringing.
"Hello?" I said.
"Clarissa, meet me at Browns' "
"Excuse me, who am I speaking to?"
It's a guy, you idiot.
Which other creature on earth would have such a deep voice?
"Brandon...."
That explains the arrogance.
Who calls and just goes "meet me at Browns' "
Not even a good morning.
"How'd you get my number?"
He's obviously been spying on you, dummy.
"Just meet me there."
And with that, he ended the call.
Is he sane?
Whatever it is, I'm not going.
Quickly, I saved his name, "Mr. Bugatti"
Then I received a text.
Mr. Bugatti: Don't even think of ghosting me.
Is he a telepathic psychic now?
Reluctantly, I got up to go shower.
********
Getting out of the car, I paid the driver.
I internally smiled at myself for actually dressing up rationally for once.
I had put together a black turtleneck, white high waisted jeans and a pair of wedges and also straightened my hair.
Bravo!
Breathing in, I entered the café.
That explains why this place is rated 5 stars.
Coffeeaholics' would have never matched up.
The bright peach and white walls and the perfect toning of lights.
The choice of furniture and paintings.
This place is POSH!
Suddenly, I felt I had something on my face cause upon entering, I could feel every soul staring at me.
And also the driver from earlier was acting weird.
Looking around, I finally spotted Brandon.
Why was he away from everyone else?
By a glass wall.
I quickly joined him since I could feel people literally pointing at me now.
Opening the door, I entered and sat down.
"Hi." I said.
Ever so plainly.
Brandon
I watched as she sat down.
"Hi." She said.
I only stared at her.
A thousand thoughts racing through my mind.
I watched as she curiously looked around and smiled to herself.
I cleared my throat.
"So why am I here?"
I chuckled at her nervousness.
Her act was good.
"You can cut the act."
She looked at me confused.
Without wasting much time, I pulled out my phone to show her a couple details.
She just stared at the screen showing not even a single ounce of emotion.....
Until she scrunched up her face.
"They think.... we are a thing?"
She asked slowly.
Bluntly, I said yes.
"That's sad."
This lady is confusing.
Most ladies would literally jump at the thought and go crazy.
"Apparently, yes, but it's all caught up with the press now....."
"So what do we do?"
"Just answer my question from last night."
Clarissa scoffed.
"There's no way I'd get married to you even if you were the last person on earth."
The nerve.
Are ladies always that full of themselves or is it just me?
I am not ready to deal with her unnecessary arguments.
I had just one person who I thought I was going to live the rest of my life with but she turned out to be a fraud and just left me in pieces to gather myself up.
"You have no choice."
"You could just erase all the articles on this since you're rich and all right?"
Does she think I am THAT dumb.
If that was what I had to do to prevent me from doing this, I would have killed to do it, buy it did not work out.
"Listen your life is in danger now that you're in contact with me, and it's not going to change, it's only going to get worse , so it's either you agree to this or possibly die tomorrow."
Too much?
"Why's that?"
I threaten her and her answer is "why's that?"
The questions.
"I run a business empire, my rivals would kill to get information on me and now that you're with me, they could harm you."
Clarissa looked at me with a wrinkled brow.
"No."
"You need help with your bills, don't you?"
"You need a freaking favour and the best you can do is to try to blackmail me? Are you for real?!"
She shouted.
I felt myself itching with anger.
I didn't have to worry because the glass was soundproof.
"Listen to me here, I could just get up and leave and watch you die probably in the next couple of days, don't think I am begging you here, all the people living around you are going to go down with you,I am just trying to help, it's either you take it or leave it!"
I said back.
She flinched.
In my world, things were either blackmailing or killing the deal, but I needed this.
"Fine."
She said with her eyes closed.
"Then it's settled."
I noticed how quiet she was all of a sudden.
Clarissa and I are getting married.
