"Have your people fixed all the damage at Wonderful Cafe?" Andrew broke the silence. I hid a smile and tried to look ordinary and went back to eating quietly.
"Yes, Albert called and said everything was in order. So tomorrow the cafe can be reopened."
"Good." After that we ate in silence until we finished.
After dinner, Andrew asked me to talk about our wedding. He said he wanted to speed up the marriage, but only had to count the days. Less than a week away and he still wants to speed it up.
But I understand his worries. He was afraid Jonathan would hurt me again. If I had decreed his legal wife, Jonathan would have thought twice about hurting me. Because Andrew would definitely sue him.
Andrew also said that the invitation was finished printing and was spread to all of his relatives, friends and business associates. He also gave me some invitations to give to my friends.
And now I'm sitting on the bed staring at the dozens of wedding invitations I had with Andrew on the bed. If this was a month ago, I would definitely be happy to see this invitation. And I must be confused as to who I should invite. But now .. I doubt all this. My heart has changed. No, not changed but regained real ownership.
Why should I now know the truth about Marcus? Why should we be found in such circumstances? And why was Andrew so good that I didn't dare to disappoint him and betray him? I can't afford to cancel it. But I'm not sure I'll be happy in this marriage. Because my heart is fully owned by Marcus. He wants her to be my husband.
A knock on the door woke me up. I got up and walked, and opened the door. Marcus stood in front of me.
"Do I want to come in? I have something to talk to you about." There was no sharp tone of voice or glare from him. I took a step back and let Marcus into my room. Then the man closed the door and locked it. I frowned confused.
"Why did you lock it?"
Marcus did not answer and pulled my arm to follow his steps towards the bed. He stopped at the edge of the bed and stared at the dozens of invitations on the bed. Marcus' hand let me go and moved quickly up the bed and summed all the invitations into his grasp and walked to the trash basket in the corner of the room and threw them away. My eyes grew bigger looking at Marcus's action.
"What are you doing? Why did you throw it away?" I walked up to him and was about to take back all the invitations from the garbage basket. Marcus's hand held my arm.
"You can pick it up later. Right now I don't want to see that and there's something important I want to talk to you about."
Marcus sat me on the edge of the bed and he squatted right in front of me. What's he gonna do? And what does he want to talk about?
"I'm sorry" said Marcus, clasping my hands tightly together. I kept quiet and let him talk.
"I'm sorry for all my rude and ill-treatment of you all along." I nodded slowly.
"I'm also sorry for being so strict and replying to all your abusive treatment with insults" I replied as I stared fixedly at her black eyes.
"I deserve it."
"We forgive each other, yes." My hand returned Marcus' grasp equally tightly. We looked at each other and Marcus's smile appeared. A smile I rarely see. The same smile as before. And the loving eyes I used to get. I also smiled broadly.
"I must be a bitch."
"Tremendously. I feel like I'd really like to hit you." Marcus chuckles.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened to you. I thought you didn't love me because you never saw me in the hospital."
"How can I men—"
"Yes, I know. I was also wrong, because I believed Siska's words and just saw you from afar without even approaching and spoke directly to you. My heart was blinded and I only believed what I saw."
"Are I really like that?" I'm nodding.
"You're like a volatile brother who changes like someone who has a double personality." Marcus laughed out loud. And I hit his shoulder pissed.
"How can I not be like that if you continue to be present in my every dream." I froze. Marcus tertied for a moment. His eyes were only on me and never diverted in any other direction for a second.
"Shelina, I love you." I looked into Marcus' black eyes that were locking on me.
"Although five years have passed, though you hurt and left me, but this heart is always yours. I was angry and mean as a form of defense and I was frustrated because you ignored me and ruined your life by being an *******. But no matter how hard I try to be cruel and mean, my heart always calls out your name. I get hurt every time I see your tears. I get angry every time I see you close to another man. Even with my own father I'm jealous."
"I love you, Lina." My eyes glazed. The heart beats very fast. Thousands of flowers came over and my heart was cheering with joy at being reunited with its partner.
"Marc." Marcus' hand stretched out to caress my cheek.
"Say that you love me too?" His eyes full of hope. There's fear behind it, fear that I don't have the same feelings as him. Worried that his love was clapping one hand. I smiled so wide that my cheeks hurt.
"I love you." Marcus' eyes were shining so brightly. He's coming towards me.
"Say it again." Marcus' face was only a few cent away from me.
"I love you too, Marc."
Marcus' hands cupped my cheeks and his mouth scooped my lips. Kissing and tasting to vanish all the happiness and longing she felt for me. And I replied with the same emotion.
Behind the grief, hurt and disappointment I had experienced over the past five years, I realized that I did not really hate him at all. I just deny my heart that misses Marcus so much. Missing the man who owns my heart.
We were swept away in emotion and kissing each other. Marcus's hand grabbed my pajama button and wanted to open it. I'm appalled. Let go of our kisses and hold Marcus's hand. I looked into his eyes.
I do love him a lot but for that 'that' thing'? I'm sure it's wrong. As if I knew the anxiety of my heart. Marcus stroked my hair.
"Are you not ready?" Passion radiated from his eyes. The fog of passion still envelops us.
"I think it's wrong. I'm gonna marry your father."
"I'm gonna cancel that wedding. You're just mine, long ago until you took your last breath."
"But Marc—" Marcus' index finger restrained the movement of my lips that still wanted to speak
"Sttt, don't say anything more. Let me figure out the best way for Andrew not to be disappointed in us." I nodded and my heart was a little relieved. I believe Marcus would do it. He also loved Andrew, so Marcus certainly wouldn't be rash.
"So, we can continue, right?" I threw my face away and nodded slowly. Streams of hot dares gathered on my face. I couldn't look at her, my face must be so red right now.
"You're so sweet when you're embarrassed. Makes me impatient to eat you." Marcus quickly attacked me and I shouted that slowly turned into a sigh. Luckily the room was soundproofed and Marcus had already locked the door.
