Best Defense

Tell Nino

Sean Danial Warner's!

Huh! Why would I take it for granted? A year I ignored him and didn't care a bit, then he turned things around with just one meeting. With the full confidence and gentle attitude he showed, I was devastated. Saying just like the proposal suddenly, forgetting my previous arrogance that evaporated somewhere. Should I be happy now, I should be. But somehow I'm not sure about my decision, Sean is too mysterious.

I don't know his personal life at all, how his past, his family, his job, whether he's been married or not before. So many things are troubling my mind right now, I'm afraid I'm wrong in making a decision, lest failure happen again in my marriage, I won't be able to go through it a second time.

Marriage is not a trivial thing to do, exactly as Denise said. Can't decide to get married just because of one thing, it needs good consideration, and I haven't considered it. In the past, I was very sure I would spend the rest of my life with Nino, but the opposite happened, we ended up in divorce when our marriage turned 9.

When I married Nino, I knew her well. Very familiar. From my side, I was sure Nino would not betray me, Nino would definitely guard and protect me forever, but that was not the case. And what about Sean? Wouldn't it be unfair if I didn't know the man who was going to be my husband, while he knew all the things about me.

"Ahhh, I can go crazy thinking about this!" I ruffled my hair that was still half wet, Sean actually managed to mess with my brain.

My eyes were on the phone ringing in the bed, "Yes?" I answered quickly after shifting the green mark.

"You awake?" sean's hoarse voice sounded there, so sexy. Huh, Sexy?

"Yes." I answered briefly.

"Well, I'll take a quick shower and pick you up. Get ready!"

"Hm."

"Hey, why aren't you excited? Are you worried about your ex-husband?" his tone sounded like protest as well as insinuation.

"You know that's not what I think." I argue, I don't want him to misunderstand, Nino's not something I should be worried about.

"All right, wait for me to come. We'll talk about it later."

I throw my phone back in the basket, I have to prepare because we will meet Nino today to say an impromptu wedding that will be held in 4 days. Sean didn't let me interfere in the wedding, he said I just had to sit down and prepare, he's going to arrange everything. I think, after all, why bother to waste time on such things.

No one knew about our wedding plans, including my family. The plan was after telling Nino, only Sean would meet Mom and Edward to propose to me officially. Apply? Why does that sound ridiculous now? I should be excited about getting married, not doubting this.

I shook my head repeatedly, expelling all the bad thoughts that haunted me. This has happened, Sean has proposed to me personally and I have agreed, there is no reason to doubt him. Hasn't he been waiting for me for 16 years? Yeah, I have to be sure of him. At least he loves me, I can handle my feelings later. If he was smart and understood me, he would treat me well and I would return his love one day. I am not a teenager who has to be made flowery to accept someone, love or not, I need a man to accompany me.

I came out after saying goodbye to Mom, Mia, and Ben. Sean told me he was in front of my apartment unit, I pulled him straight to the next unit as soon as I closed my unit door. Sean looked astonished, it was only natural that he did not know Nino lived next door to me.

"He lives here" I said in response to his confusion. I saw his eyes round, then narrowed later. I don't care, I press the intercom bell next to the door.

"It's me, there's something I want to talk about" I told Nino who was in there.

Nino opened the door, obviously she was surprised to see Sean present, we looked at him alternately, maybe guessing my purpose to bring Sean there.

"Can we come in?" I said break the silence. Nino nodded, smiled at me and instantly turned sour as she looked at Sean.

I sat on the couch, followed by Sean who was next to me. I don't like his show-off boyish attitude and mocking my ex-husband with a grin at the corner of his lips. I cast a sharp look to warn him,

"Lost your grin, Sean!" I said, this man cannot be coded, it must be said directly, proved he changed his grin to the sweet smile that he always relied on. I turned my gaze the moment I heard Nino say something.

"What's early in the morning looking for me? Didn't you never want to come in here, and why take her?" nino asked flatly, I could see her continuing to stare unhappily at Sean.

I lowered my head, took a deep breath, preparing to say what I and Sean meant.

"We're getting married" I said without further ado. Nino rolled her eyes, of course she was surprised, it was not enough for me to visit for the first time and bring Sean as a gift, now I add more with my words.

Nino stands up, scatters into Sean and hits him right in the face. I gasped, unprepared for Nino's attack very quickly, as well as Sean who was crushed to the couch because Nino was overrunning his body.

"Nino, stop!" I snapped for Nino to stop the action, Nino didn't care, he hit Sean again right in the same place. My body began to tremble at the blood flowing through the corner of Sean's lips.

I quickly pushed Nino down as she raised her hand to hit Sean again,

"Are you ok?" I asked Sean, indifferent to Nino who I'm sure is upset to see us. I cupped his cheeks with both of my hands shaking, Sean's face was completely muddled. Sean nodded and smiled, Yes, God! Her smile is so sweet.

"I want to talk to you." I turned to Nino who walked towards the living room and sat there.

"Talk to him, I'll wait downstairs" Sean said with a smile, I'm sure he's trying to calm me down.

"You sure?" many ensure.

"Yes, I'm fine. Solve your problems, then come to me."

I nodded, "I'm sorry" I said softly. I don't know why I feel the need to say it.

"I'm fine. Relax!"

Sean kissed my forehead for a moment, then stood up.

"I'm going out."

I stared at his passing with a guilty feeling, Sean doesn't have to go through this. There was a sense that raged on me considering how she smiled when she said she was fine when I knew she wasn't. Sean can't be okay, I'm sure he's not willing to leave me here with Nino, but there's no other choice he can make. I do have to talk to Nino, now or later it's the same, today will still come.
