You’re Inlove With Me
Edward
“You should have held on a little. Now you’ve probably scared her away,” the voice in my head kept saying as I paced throughout the room frustrated…
“You couldn’t keep your desires to yourself huh? You just had to fucking mess this up,” it said again…
“Damn it,” I kicked and punched the air frustrated. I wondered what would be going on in her head right now, I wondered what she thought of me and how she saw me now after the stunt I pulled in front of her.
“You finally had something good. You finally were so close to bagging her for real, you had such a good plan Edward, an amazing one which would have gotten the girl,”
“But you just had to ruin it huh? You couldn’t hide those desires a little longer. Now you’re going to chase her away, she probably wouldn’t want anything to ever do with you,”
“Did you hear me, ever! Ever again,” it screamed in my head and I felt the ground around me start to move for a bit…
“Maliah. I couldn’t control myself. How do I tell you that pain is just my way of communicating,” I thought and walked to my cupboard, grabbing a lighter and pulling out a cigarette from one of the drawers…
Christian
I woke up and got off the sofa, I went to the shower got washed up dressed up nicely without waking up Mandy. I got a text from Mom saying she got the wedding arrangements done, and a date had been fixed, all she needs from us is to go for our fitting.
I walk to the side of the bed where Mandy slept and bent on my knees staring at her. She looks so beautiful and I couldn’t get my eyes off her.
I was getting married to her, and as much as this may not feel real to her, it is real to me. It is a dream come true. The thoughts of kissing her crossed my mind, and I brought my face closer to hers, my eyes fixed on her lips as I fought the thought of doing it.
“She wouldn’t know you even stole a kiss from her,” my inner voice said…
“But what if she knows,” I thought and bit my lips contemplating what to do when she suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed my fave closer to her that it was barely an inch about as our noses made contact.
My heart skipped a bit while she furrowed her brows at me glaring at me.
“Were you trying to kiss me?,” she asked and I gulped hard.
“No. You are already making things up so early,” I denied
“So my lips aren’t desirable to be kissed?” She twisted the question and looked at her shocked…
“What? Can’t say anything now? So I’m right?” She responds herself.
“I was trying to grab my phone, and you suddenly woke up. I didn’t do anything wrong,” she took her hands off my face and smiled at me.
“If I’m correct, I’m sure you’ve been staring at me long enough for me to get tired of your breathing,” she proclaimed and I gasped offending…
“You’re making it seem like you’re in love with me already. Are you in love with me?” She asked and sat up when I turned around to go, but she grabbed my hands and pulled me to herself…
“What the!” I stopped myself when she kissed me on my cheek and whispered good morning before getting off the bed, leaving me dumbstruck as my jaw dropped…
“I know you’re in love with me,” she sang her way to the shower, while I shook my head trying to get my senses back.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Oh Christian you are in for a lot ’cause this woman is a temptress,” my inner voice said, and I groaned frustrated rubbing my forehead…
“Hey Christian, Mom texted me about the wedding,” she walked out on her night rope.
“Yeah, they fixed a date for it already,” I respond…
“Yeah, I saw. Are you getting nervous?” She smiled…
“Yeah. I kinda feel a little nervous,” I responded truthfully…
“Yeah me too, let’s do this for the baby,” she winked, and I smiled back at her…
“Damn it becoming real,” I whispered but she heard me smiling, while she applied some oil on her face.
“You are so right about that. In one week I’ll become Mrs. Mandy Reigns,” she breathed out and turned to look at me.
“No, “I shook my head, and she scrutinized her gaze at me waiting for an explanation as to why I said no.
“You’ll become Mrs. Mandy Christian Reigns,” I told her and she looked really happy hearing that…
“That sounds way better,” she confused and I looked proud.
“Yeah?” She nods her head in agreement…
“Then Mrs. Mandy Christian Reigns, it shall be,” I proclaim and she burst out in laughter while I smiled loving how pretty she looked while smiling heartily.
“Oh this woman is going to be my wife soon, and I’m going to make sure it stays that way,” I thought smiling to myself while she got ready for the day.

I knew we were going to be leaving here soon. Maliah is safe even better than we thought. And Mandy and I have a wedding to get to.
“So what’s your plan with Maliah?” I asked Edward as we were by the poolside just relaxing…
“What do you mean?” He looked over my shoulders…
“Are you going to keep her here with you forever?” He nods…
“She has a life to get to. One in the NYC. You got to figure out something that’s going to work for you too ’cause I tell you’re into her,” I said to him, and he smiled at my words.
“I am into here, I just fear that I might ruin things even before anything meaningful happens,” he confused…
“Nah, from the looks of it you’re doing fine,” I said and we both turned out gazes staring at the ladies who were having fun in the pool.
“What are you boys talking about? Come join us here,” Mandy hailed at us and we both smiled before driving into the pool.
“Hey fiance,” Mandy smiled at me, as she got close to me and wrapped her hands around my neck.
“What are you doing?” I asked and she squeezed her face in displease.
“God you are so clueless. Couldn’t you just wrap your hands around my waist,” she rolled her eyes and turned to leave when I grabbed her waist and pulled her to myself. My hands feel her gentle skin against them.
“How does it feel now?” She looked me in the eyes and asked…
“Better,” I said simply enjoying the feel of the water on my skin, also enjoying holding Mandy this way.
“It feels simply amazing,” she said and bent her neck backward smiling brightly…

“Oh I’m going to miss this place,” Mandy whispered as we walked down the stairs while the maids dragged out luggage for us.
“Yeah me too,” I smiled back at her as we approached Maliah and Edward who stood waiting for us.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go with us?” Mandy questions Maliah’s decision to stay here with Edward.
“I am certain,” she smiled staring at Edward who doubtful couldn’t hide his excitement…
“I’ll see you at the bridals party then,” Mandy hugged her tightly…
“I’ll see to soon man,” I said and gave Edward a brotherly hug.
“We will see you both soon,” they said.
“Bye,” we waved at them…
“Damn I’m going to miss them,” she said and I rolled my eyes…
“We would be seeing them at the wedding of Mrs. Christian Reigns,” I said in a playful tone.
“Mrs. Christian Reigns. I love the sound of that,” she joked and we both laughed at it…
