“Urgh.” My f*****g head how much did I have last night?

I have the biggest headache ever, thanks hangover love you too.

I slowly open my eyes looking around my surroundings, this was not my room. Oh s**t, I’m f*****g dead.

My parents are going to kill me. I was supposed to be back by one and there’s someone’s arm over me, s**t what the f**k did I do?’

My body was pulled closer to whoever I was with. Their lips touched the naked skin of my shoulder. ‘Good morning Torino.’

Oh s**t not again, s**t, s**t Aubrey.

“Are you okay Torino?”

“Aubrey.”

“Yes, my Angel.”

Angel yes he’s still acting weird. “Wha... what happened?”

“I think that’s kinda obvious don’t you.”

“Oh shit.”

“Are you not happy Torino?”

“I..I.. “

He smiled pressing his lips on my shoulders. “You were up for it, you were on heat Torino. And I for one was glad you were.”

My face paled, and he slipped his fingers through mine that’s when I noticed the dark-coloured stones ring that wasn’t there last night.

“What’s wrong Torino?”

“Where did the ring come from?’

“What ring?”

“The one on my finger.”

“Oh, that one. I slipped it on this morning. He got closer to my ear his cold breath sending shivers down my spine. “I asked you to marry me and.” he got closer. “You said yes.”

God, I must’ve been drunk to agree to something as absurd as that. He kissed my ear licking it and sending shivers down my spine. “We are to marry once school is over.”

I swallowed hard I was not going headfirst into a marriage to someone I didn’t love, who the hell did he think I was? To get me into an arranged marriage as such with him, what was his game anyway?

He started sucking and biting my neck his hands making there was up to my boobs caressing them. “We can make this work Torino. I know the next eight months isn’t a long time, but I’d like to give it a shot.”

“Why me?”

“You know all there is to know about me. You don’t want me for my money and you never will and I respect you for that. I’m sorry how I’ve treated you in the past, but I will try harder not to anymore.” He said, continuing to kiss my shoulder. He pulled himself up looking down at me. “Just give me a chance Torino it doesn’t work then I’ll let you go I promise.”

I looked into him yes they looked sincere. “Okay.” I sighed.

He smiled. 

“If you mess this up I’m out.”

“I know. Thank you Torino for giving me a chance.”

He pressed his lips to mine kissing me passionately with his tongue.

“Oh, sorry guys I didn’t mean to disturb you, but we’re all going into town for brunch, are you going to join us?”

Aubrey moved away. “Sure give us five okay.”

“Sure.”

The door closed.

“I guess we’ll have to finish this later.” He smiled.

We pulled ourselves up dressing. Meeting the others downstairs.

Alex looked at me with a disappointed look on his face. And we went out of the house to the cafe for brunch. Alex leaned over talking in my ear. “I guess I missed my chance though, be happy.” He said, kissing my cheek and moving back.

We had brunch and looked around, saying our goodbyes. I got a parent, daughter talk when I arrived back hoI. Aubrey spent most of the summer together making out and having s*x lots of it. He was so different, but I knew when September came around he’d be back to the same old Aubrey. He would never change no matter how hard he tried to.
