Will you marry him?
Chapter One

Julie Cooper Nichol had her legs crossed, elegantly sitting on the satin covered chair, while sipping her tea. She was at the Ward residence, where lived the so loved Luke Ward, soon to be her daughter's fiancé. Everybody knew and approved the union, at the exception of the two so called lovers.

"So I brought pictures this time" Julie said, spreading on the table a couple of well chosen pictures of her daughter. Luke, a gorgeous looking boy, son of a wealthy family, picked up one of the pictures and stared at it with awe. He knew his mother had arranged him a nice girl, whom he never opposed to, knowing none of the girls from his neighbourhood would marry him, but Luke didn't know what the girl looked like, up until now. A bomb, that's what she was.

"She's very smart" Julie said while he kept holding the picture, pleased that he liked what he saw. "Social chair president, very popular." And she doesn't know a thing about me, Luke smiled.

"And she never had a boyfriend." Julie finished, her eyes glowing with pride. "You will be her first."

Marissa pushed the door of her room with hurry, knowing they would end up collapsing on the floor if they didn't find the bed anytime soon. Her fingers reached the zipper and she got rid of her jacket that ended on the floor, soon followed by her tank top. Finally reaching the bed, she pushed her girlfriend on it before climbing on top. They both tried to catch their breath. Smiling, a gorgeous blonde flipped them over before trailing kisses down her neck.

"Fuck" Marissa cursed. Alex, being in the best position to do so, reached for her girlfriend's cellphone, which was in her backpocket, and couldn't help seeing who it was before handing it to her. The brunette noticed it too and her whole mood went down.

"Hey mother" She said, repressing an obvious sight. She could feel Alex's eyes on her, waiting for a sign to either make her happy or move away. When she frowned her eyebrows, the blonde took it as the second option and stood up.

"I'll make coffee" She mouthed before leaving the room. Marissa was now sitting at the edge of her bed.

"Mom I told you I'm not marrying that rich guy of yours" She said angrily. "... no, I don't care! I'm not interested."



"Honey you never dated a single boy from your school." Julie objected. "There is obviously something missing in them and maybe Luke has what you need." Marissa bit her lip, keeping herself from the very easy come back that could shut her mother for good.

"... we'll talk again when I'm home." Her daughter's interest increased immediately.

"When are you going to be home?" She asked right away.

Alex put coffee in the filter and pushed the on button before turning on the radio. They have together for a year, a whole year, and yet nobody knew. Normally, the blonde would be angry, she might even had left for a while, but she loved Marissa in a way she never loved anyone else and, in spite of all this, she knew her girlfriend loved her back. It's just... complicate, has Marissa kept saying. The hell it was.

"Hey." Alex turned around. Marissa had her back against the wall, her phone still in hand. She knew what her girlfriend wanted to say. It was the only thing they argued about, but they argued so much it replaced any other possible fight a couple might have. And Marissa could always tell when Alex was about to bring it back. She had these sad eyes that made Marissa's heart ache.

"You have to tell her." Marissa looked away. She knew that. She knew it all along. It couldn't work in silence forever. And it only got worse when, two months ago, her mother announced her she was getting a nice groom. Alex had almost walked out that night, Marissa remembered.

"It's..."

"Complicate." Alex finished angrily. "Ever thought of another answer?" Their fights were always the same as well. Alex would scream until Marissa couldn't take it anymore. It usually took longer, but the blonde could tell Marissa was already at the verge to break. She was a lot sooner these days. She sighed.

"When is the wedding planned to be?" She asked.

"Never!" Marissa replied angrily. "Alex, I am not..."

"The hell you're not." The blonde shot back. "You don't have the guts to tell her you're not into boys. What else do you have going for you, uh? The guy is rich, gorgeous, from a wealthy family. What other reason could you possibly have for not wanting him?"

"Stop this" Marissa cried. "I will find a way. I won't marry him. I'm yours."

"Whatever." Alex said coldly.

"Baby don't be like that" Marissa begged. "Can't you see that I'm trapped?"

"You trapped yourself." Alex corrected. "Are you're too scared to set you free." At her girlfriend's silence, she sighed.



"I should go before your mother comes." She said, "I really don't feel like acting up today."

When she shut the door, Marissa suddenly realised that Alex might one day do it for good. The simple though of such a nightmare rose up the biggest fears of the brunette. Then Alex's words came back to her. Did she really trap herself? Could she really walk away whenever she wanted to? Her eyes lay on the frame she had tried to break several times. Luke Ward. If ever she failed, Marissa thought, at least he was good looking.

XxxxxxXxxxxxX

I'm wondering, did anyone ever have to deal with something like that? I mean a forced wedding.
