Title: I slapped him.
I had woken up so early in the morning and gone out for a jog. It has been three days after my marriage with Rowan. I had to admit that the house was extremely boring without him, i didn't see anyone to fight with nor play my pranks on though the last one led him into a sick bed. This morning, i woke up early to jog as i had not stepped out of mansion since I came, I wasn't used to staying alone either.
"Hey, cutie" I stopped and look back to see a smiling Finn.
"Good morning"
I greeted and resumed jogging while he followed behind. "Good morning. What's up?, you seemed..worried."
"Do I look worried?" I asked.
"You're not happy, anyone could see that." He replies. I'm not ready to discuss with anyone right now. I wanted time alone, and that's why I got away from home, and this was the first discussion I was having with my husband's brother and I didn't want him to think of me as a rude sister in law. "I'm fine, Finn." I stated.
"You don't like Rowan"
I stopped and turned instantly.
"What makes you say that?" I could see the slight resemblance between the both now, but why would he think i don't like his brother?.
"I saw you add black pepper to his tea the other day." My heart almost stopped beating instantly.
I thought of a way to get back at Rowan and could'nt find a clue, when i learned he does not like spicy food, i made him his regular coffee. I added black pepper to taste, well i didn't know it could be that bad because that incident got him sick for three days.
"Yeah, I do add pepper to my tea"
I lied. Finn chuckled and joggled away leaving me behind.
I had my bath after my morning jog. I unwrap my towel from my body and sit on the bed. I was about to rub my lotion when the door busted open. I screamed and immediately went under the duvet. Rowan walks in and looked at me, he shakes his head and walked away, into the bathroom. "Oh my God, i was going to have a heart attack." I breathed heavily and rushed into the closet.
The bathroom has steam coming out of it and it smelled of his body wash. He was tall and muscular, dripping wet from his thin strands of his wavy hair and was running down to his hard chest down to his abs. This man was just the adonis of his family.
I was back to my senses when i saw him in front of me, wriggling his brows. "Checking me out?" I coughed, looking away embarrassed. "Why would i..do that?" He chuckled and walked ahead of me. "I.." My eyes lands at his naked form, my eyes widened at how big his c**k is and i snapped my head away instantly. "Please..put on some clothes." I said to him.
"Never seen a naked man?" He inquired and comes close to me. I gulped down as the sweet fragrance coming from him melts my heart. He closes up the distance, pressing his frame at my back, i started feeling the heat and the hotness on my forehead. I felt a big bug at my back and wondered what that was. My mind wondered off to his naked body still and i shut my eyes instantly. "Please get some clothes on."
He chuckled and whispered into my ear."You look sexy on a gown"
"Stop flirting with me, Rowan." I warned. He gave a very heart warming laugh and stepped back. I breathed out fidgetedly.
" I knew you deliberately added pepper on my tea, why?."
Alright, we were back to reality. "Put on your pants and I'll answer you " A short silence passes us. I walk to the bed and sat down.
When i look at him, he was on a blue pants and white shirt, "let's talk, Rowan." He leans by the closet and waits for me to speak, just when i opened my mouth to say something, his phone rang.
Rowan: Hey,man.
Rowan: I'm on my way.
He ends the call. "Bad timing, wifey. I have to go." He looks down at me and smiled before walking through the door. Ugh!!.
My eyes opens and I turned over to the other side, I slept off, waiting for Rowan to come back, and one of the things I wanted to talk about was the idea of moving out of the mansion. I sit up and looked into my phone. Several missed calls, all from Isla. I drop my phone and just then, a knock was heard from outside. "Come on in."
Miriam comes in, " Mrs Adam request to see you now."
"Where's she?" I asked her. "The sitting room."
Sitting across Rowan and her mom, His mom drops the laptop on the stool. "It has come to my notice that you two have not been spending time together," He looks up at her. "Mom…"
"Shut up!." She ordered him. "You don't tell me to shut up, mom. This is my life, I dictate what happens in my life."
"I trained you better than this. You don't talk to me like that."
"I've told you and I'm gonna make this clear now, if you keep poking what goes on in my life, I'm gonna move out."
"You won't dare. You suckied this." She pushes up her breast. " for a year and six months, you gonna live up to my expectations."
"No, mama. I ain't living up to anyone's expectations. I do ma own, I'm grown up, ma."
"Cut the crap!. If you don't act like it, you learn it." I know it's disrespectful coming into the argument between a mother and son but nah, someone's got to stop them.
"Okay guys. Stop it please." I shout at the both of them.
Having everyone settled back down on the couch, I let Mrs Adam continue. "In a nutshell, you are to prepare your honey moon with your wife. I've made reservations at Dubai. You're checking in tomorrow"
Finally she dismissed us, I walk behind Rowan when we climbed the stairs in silence. Once we walked into our room, he faces me. "You know what, you caused this."
"What did I do?"
"You lured her into having a honey moon. Like what?, husband and wife?" He scoffs and walks close to me. "Zack was wrong. You are no different from other women. He said, you didn't want the money while you are one of those pretentious bi*ch out there, ready to devour their prey. How much do you want?, ten thousand, a hundred?"
I didn't know what I did but I just slapped that out of his mouth. "How dare you insult me?. Who are you to talk to me like that?. You rascal. What did you say again?. What do you have by the way?, your daddy's money. But i lived, i worked out, all day and night to feed i and my mother. I grew up without a dad, Rowan. I worked for my house expenses, cleared off debts and took care of my studies, all alone. And you think of me as a gold digger, i'm disappointed. Disappointed at you. I hate you. Rowan, I really do." I yelled and barg out of the room.
