How the hell did i end up engaged to a stranger?
Yes i know ANOTHER arranged marriage story. But cummon guys, you love them really =] Anyway this is my first attempt at writing so let me know what you think. Messages are appreciated as without feedback i wont carry on. ENJOY =] Love, Megan.x.Ana's Pov:
I cant believe this is happeneing to me. I'm a 21st century girl. I am not from the dark ages or some warped planet that my mum seems to be from.
"Your getting married darling"
Married?!?! What the fuck does she mean married? I'm 18 years old! I have a plan in life, goals, places i want to go, things i want to do! And let me tell you, getting married to some guy i dont even know is 110% NOT in my plans!!
"Married? Are you INSANE mum?! I'm 18, you know, the age where you party, get drunk, make out with randoms, make mistakes and oh, did i mention DATE! Dont see marriage coming up in that list!"
"Well to be honest Anastasia, you brough this upon youself"
I stared at her gobsmaked for a minute. My mouth making a really attractive looking O shape. (note the sarcasm)
"What . . . what did you just say?" I stuttered, still completely stunned.
"I said you brought this on yourself"
I paused. Like the eye of the storm before the hurricane comes over and completely destroys everything in its path. I exploded.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I BROUGHT THIS ON MYSELF?! ARE YOU COMPLETELY DELUDED? DID I ASK TO GET MARRIED TO SOME STRANGER WHO CLEARLY CANT GET LAID IF HE'S AGREED TO THIS???"
"Anastasia! Honestly! Calm down! No need to shout!! Your going to burst my eardrums!! What i meant is that your completely committment phobic! You have never stayed with a guy longer than 6 months and to be honest your cynical attitude towards men doesn't help. I dont want you to end up alone. This was the only option."
I stopped what i was about to say and looked at my mum. I could see that she meant what she said. My mum has always felt she needs a man to be complete and has never understood my complete independance. I hated the fact she was so needy of a man so i swore i would never be that way. And so i never was. But now she had put me in a position where i had a man no matter what i wanted. Depsite my outrage and also my grief for loosing the life i may have had, i understood she did believe she was doing it for my own good.
"Ok, so what happens now" I asked resigned.
"Well actually . . ."
*Doorbell rings"
"Oh my, that should be them now."
"What . . WHATTT? Thats them now?? Oh a way to prepare me mum!"
"Well i'm sorry darling, but i had no idea how you would react. . ."
"Fine, fine, just let them in"
Gage's Pov:
"I cant believe this is happening to me . ." I mumbled but my mum hear me and glared up at me
"Look Gage, just behave. You know its family tradition to have an arranged marriage, and they always work out. This girl i've picked out is perfect for you."
"I'm sure your definition of perfect and mine are very different mum"
"Ha! Yeah thats because this girls not a complete slut and doesn't have the IQ of a goldfish"
"Hey, nothing wrong with those kinds of girls"
"Yes i'm sure there's not Gage, for a quick fling. But for a marriage? I hardly think so . . ."
Thank god, she's stopped talking, but then i realised it was only because the door had opened.
"Hello i'm Miss Brown, but call me Carol. Please come in" said an attractive woman. Well from the looks of her, this could hold some promise.
"Thank you so much for having us, i'm just so excited . . ."
I let my mum and call me Carol to carry on talking and decided to wander my way into the house. Thats when i saw her.
