Prologue
I wish he hadn't have left me here by the lake, every time I look into the water all I see is his face taking over my own reflection. This place he has left me in is deep within the forest why am I here all alone? I left my own family to be with him. I look up at the midnight sky watching the full moon move and the stars twinkling. So I lay my head back down on the hard-stone ground and lift my hands up and pray. I pray he will return to me. I can still hear his sexy-soft tone saying those three words I desperately needed to hear before he left me here all alone. 'I love you.' He whispered in my ear. I am Allie Jenkins and this is my story.
Chapter One: Arranged Marriage
"Get up! Get up sleepy head!" I heard my mother shaking me and telling me to get up. It was a Sunday afternoon and felt like it was 7.00 am. She pulled back my pink curtains that were in my room and the light nearly made me groan in protest. I had gone to a friend's party last night my best friend's party to be exact and my parents had ended up picking me up in a taxi. They had obviously called for a taxi to take them to my friend's house but they had been out themselves. I pulled the duvet over to cover my eyes I thought I had seen someone last night when I had left Sarah's house and had thanked Mrs Laverty for letting me come over to her house. It could've been my imagination but I thought I had seen a young male staring at me across the road, he stood near one of the bushes outside in the area near someone else's house and looked about 6 foot 3 but I can't remember anything else. My mother kept on shaking me ordering me almost to get up and to get dressed.
"Mum it's Sunday what is the matter with you? Is there some emergency?" I asked almost in a sarcastic tone. Why can she just leave me alone and let me sleep in? I'm eighteen I always sleep in on Saturdays and Sundays she knows that so why disturb my lovely nap? I thought before my mother spoke again.
"Darling yes it is an emergency he will be here any minute now and if you're not ready when he arrives you will be in big bother I'm telling you that now. Now go and get ready." My mother told me.
"Who will be here?" I asked.
"You will find out soon enough. Now go and get ready." My mother almost pushed me off my king-sized bed.
"I don't want to get up." I protested almost.
"I will give you fifteen minutes to get washed and dressed but if I come up after fifteen minutes to find out that you haven't done what I have told you to do your ass is mine got it." I almost chuckled at her statement she always had ways of making me laugh when I was being stubborn.
My mother left the room. Who would be coming to the house? It wasn't one of my best friends I knew that because we hadn't made any arrangements to meet up with each other and I would hate to think that father and mother had invited a stranger to the house surely they wouldn't do such a thing. I shook off those thoughts and placed on my ruby slippers that were at the foot of my bed and headed into my own bathroom that was straight ahead across from my bed. I closed the bathroom door behind me and noticed that my white dressing gown had been hung up on one of the hookers on my bathroom door and that made smile. I took off one of the white towels that had been placed on the silver radiator on the left- hand side of the door and placed it on the edge of the bath on the right-hand side. Across from the bath was the sink that had a square-sized mirror hung above the sink on the wall. On the right beside the sink was a brown-wooden cabinet were I kept all of my shampoo, hair-conditioner, shower-gel, toothbrush and some toothpaste and etc.
I quickly took out my head and shoulders shampoo, my new angel shower-gel that I had bought a few weeks back in the shop and a pink razor. I placed them all in the shower before removing my night clothes and got into the shower. I turned it on to full heat letting me warm me up, I scrubbed my dark hair almost black really hard with the shampoo and conditioner before turning the shower off and placing on my new shower-gel I took in its sweet scent and placed it all over my body before taking my razor and shaving my legs and arm-pits. When I had finished putting on the shower-gel and had finished using my razor I turned the shower back on to full heat letting the water do its job and warm me up again. I turned it off again after five minutes and stepped out of the shower drying my hair with the white towel and wrapped it around my body.
I placed on my ruby slippers again and grabbed my night dress and decided to put it into the wash basket and brushed my teeth really quickly. I ambled back into my bedroom doing my best to find something nice to wear for today searching in the drawers to see if there was anything nice to wear. I heaved a heavy sigh before I found a pair of black trousers, a black long-sleeved top with an angel at the side of it almost emo like, and some lovely undergarments.
I placed my undergarments on first they were a simple pink with white bows on them the same as the bra. I sprayed some deodorant on to my nicely shaved arm-pits, placing my black top over my fragile body I pulled up my black trousers and opened the second top drawer and took out a pair of white socks with blue flowers on them and placed my feet in them. I couldn't be bothered using the hair dryer for today I would just let my hair dry on its own for a change. I noticed I had left the white towel I had used to cover my body on my bedroom floor and quickly dashed into my bathroom to put the towel into the wash basket and dashed out again into my bedroom. I brushed my hair quickly and decided to wear my hair down for today. I ambled back down on my bed again and slipped out of my ruby slippers and placed on my white sketchers with pink stripes on them. I quickly tied the laces on them and made sure the knots were good and tied properly.
When my mother came into my room she raised an eyebrow at me before smiling warmly at me. Her hair had been tied back into a bun, when I was younger I always wanted her hair colour it was a strawberry blonde I always loved it. She wore a blue blouse with a white shirt underneath it, a pair of black trousers and a pair of black shoes. I got my hair colour from my dad according to my mum.
"I see you are ready apart from your hair, oh well I guess you'll have to do since its too late now to make any changes. Now you better follow me downstairs our guest has arrived." She stated.
I hope this really isn't some new neighbour that has decided to invite her or himself over to our house and I just hope my parents haven't done something behind my back before telling me first. I thought and prayed. I followed my mother out of my room and closed the door behind me. My mother pulled me as if she was in a hurry down the stairs in the corridor and eventually slowed down as we had reached the hallway and took me into the living room that was just the door beside the kitchen. My eyes widened as I stood there in the living room only to find a boy that looked about eighteen or nineteen years old sitting on one of the soft blue sofas in the living room looking at my dad cautiously until I had entered the room and he had turned his gaze towards me.
I couldn't believe my eyes at first I thought he was a stranger but then all the memories of being in school when I was around about fourteen to sixteen came back to me and boom I recognised him. He was the guy who always stared at me and always laughed at me when I dropped stuff on the floor and sometimes he would even bully me and if it got really bad he would make sure that I would lose my temper with him. He was called Aidan Thompson. He left school when I was fifteen years old and he was eighteen.
I continued to stay there in complete silence what was he doing here in my house? How did he even know where I lived? I certainly never told him my home address, mobile or telephone number. So what was happening? The silence broke in the room when my dad spoke.
"Well now Allie are you not going to say hello to our guest?" My father inquired.
"Hello." I said not giving him one smile of happiness whatsoever.
"Hello Allie." He smiled graciously towards me.
"Meet your fiancée!" My mother shouted with joy when she came up from behind me and entered the room sitting down beside my dad. There were two blue sofas in the living room one was quite near to the door and a fair distant away from the television and the other was facing the television only a few feet away from the other sofa.
"What!" I shouted. This could not be happening: this had to be some sort of strange dream I really didn't want to be with this guy honestly all I saw him as was a bully that used to drive me up the walls until he left the school. Now my mother was telling me he was my fiancé what was going on here? He had not proposed to me and we had not been dating each other at all so what was going on here? I watched him carefully; his short silky blonde hair was still quite spiky but was nice in a way. He was quite handsome, light blue eyes; he was quite pale looking in fact his skin was paler than mine. He wore a black suit, a white shirt with all the buttons done up. Black trousers: a pair of black laced-up shoes and a pair of white gloves. Was he rich or something? He couldn't possibly be rich. I thought. He patted one of his hands on the sofa that he was sitting on facing the television. I sighed and sat down beside him not looking at him at all. I turned my back to him closing my eyes for a moment before shooting them open again. "What's going on here? I'm not his fiancé; we haven't even been dating each other. How did he know where we lived?" I questioned. I wish I could go back to last night when I was dancing on the dance floor with my friends in Sarah's house instead of waking up only to find out that I was now engaged to a person that had bullied me in my younger years at school until he had left.
"Calm down Allie, the reason why we have said he is now your fiancé is because we had no choice. It was either lose our home or make a deal with Aidan's father and let Aidan marry you. It wasn't an easy choice but we didn't want to end up being homeless." My father said calmly.
"What are you talking about?" I was so confused.
"The place where your father worked in for so many years had shut down and nobody knows why only that they were finding it hard to make money since customers were not coming in anymore. Your father tried his best to find work when the place shut down but nobody would take him in and when your father found out the truth about why the place shut down we were both in trouble. It appeared that there had been a robbery in the bank and somebody had hacked into your father's bank account and had stolen £72,000 from his bank account. We couldn't possibly pay back the money and nobody from other banks would help us. So last week your father decided to pay a visit to one of the banks but noticed Aidan and his father coming out of the bank. Aidan's father told him that the bank would not help him either so he decided to make a deal with him. He would give him £72,000 if he would give you over to his son. Your father of course found this very difficult and your father eventually agreed to it. Aidan's father wants to see his son get married very soon and when you're married we will get the money Mr Thompson promised to give us in return. He is very rich." My mother explained as gently as she could.
I wanted to complain about this matter, I didn't want to marry this man who is now twenty one years old since I am eighteen now. But after hearing that explanation I guess there was no point in arguing with them I wouldn't win anyway.
"When do we get married?" I questioned them.
"You will be married next Saturday." Mother responded.
Next Saturday? Are they crazy or what? I can't possibly get married next Saturday because I had promised Sarah that we would both go to see a film in the cinema I promised I would go and see We're the Millers. They had to change the day of this wedding. Otherwise I would go completely nuts it had been ages since I had gone to the cinema with a friend of mine and I wasn't going to allow some marriage ruin my plans that I had made with my best friend.
"Change the day to Sunday I can't possibly get married to him on Saturday I have already made plans next week to go and see a film with Sarah. I promised her I would go with her she's my best friend mum. I can't break my promise to her." I hoped she would let me go to the cinema.
"What are you going to see?" My mother asked.
"We're the Millers." I replied truthfully hoping she wouldn't start her whole mother nonsense like she did when I was sixteen.
"That's a rubbish movie." I heard Aidan cut in.
"Nobody asked for your opinion." I shot him a death glare.
"Allie: that is no way to speak to your fiancé." My father told me off.
"I agree with Aidan it is a rubbish movie and not suitable for a girl of your age to be seeing." My mother was now taking his side.
"Mum it's a comedy suitable for everyone to see. It's meant to be very funny." I exclaimed.
"It sounds inappropriate to me." She started to get on my nerves.
"Mother please its not inappropriate Sarah never takes me to see films that are inappropriate." I explained.
"How does she know that it is not inappropriate?" Aidan asked.
"She knows because she went to see it with Lucy one of our friends and there wasn't anything inappropriate about the movie or showed in it. It was just all very funny." I tried to remain calm.
"You're just going to have to reschedule your plans." My mother stated.
"I cannot please I promised her I would go with her. It's been months or even a year since we have gone to see a film in the cinema together and I cannot and will not let her down can't the wedding wait until Sunday or happen at a different time?" I almost begged.
I turned around to see that Aidan was staring at me and grinning away at me.
"What time are you planning to go to the cinema at?" Aidan asked me.
"What does it matter to you?" I crossed my arms around my chest.
"It matters to me a lot considering you are my wife to be. I would hate to think that you would be going to the cinema at night. It is dangerous at night you know. Sometimes people go missing." He gave me that stupid grin again.
"I know sometimes people go missing I'm not stupid, I watch the news too you know people go missing all over the world so don't try to tell me that it's dangerous at night because I know it is. But Sarah and I are best friends, we're like sisters almost we take care of each other, we listen to each other's problems, we are there for each other if someone or something is bothering us, and sometimes if one of us needs to cry then we will cry on each other's shoulders and we protect and keep each other safe. Plus we stand up for one another. We are very close." I told him.
"I'll ask you once more what time you are planning to meet up with your best friend on Saturday to go and see this stupid movie. You better tell me if you want to go and see it." He almost demanded.
"7.00 pm. We are planning to see it at 7.00 pm on Saturday, next Saturday." I answered him.
"That's a decent time to go and see a film at. What I propose is this Allie can go and see the film with her friend next Saturday at 7.00 pm then after the film is over I will pick her up and bring her to my house where everything will be ready for her. She can get ready for the wedding there, then I will take her to the church and we will be married there." He proposed.
"Sounds fair I must say." I heard my mother say.
"Does it sound fair to you? My: beautiful fiancé." He placed one of his fingers under my chin and lifted it up so I would be now looking at him face-to-face.
I nodded in agreement.
After a few hours of talking about marriage and the arrangements and blah-blah-blah-blah we all rambled out of the living room I asked my father was time it was and he showed me his watch, it showed that it was now 1.00 pm.
"I hope I'll see you again soon my beloved wife to be." I heard Aidan say. I rolled up my eyes at that statement before looking at him again. My father opened the door for him and thanked him for coming over to visit us. All three of us stood at the doorway and watched him leave, there was a black Mercedes parked outside our house, outside the front door in the driveway I watched him get into the driver's seat and leave the house.
A sigh escaped my lips; I still can't believe what was happening I was getting married to a man who had bullied me in school back in our younger years of being young teenagers. What am I going to tell Sarah? Should I even tell Sarah? Perhaps I should since we are best friends but the feeling of being Aidan's fiancé still makes me shudder. Will he bully me once I am his wife? Goodness just one more week until I am his wife and there goes my freedom.
So guys what do you think? Was it any good? Please review it would me much appreciated and I will write more if I get more than one review so please tell me what you think.
