"Yes?" I asked him and that also when I realized what he's wearing. The only thing he has on are sweatpants. I had a clear few of his 6-pack. Great I could feel my face heating up. I forced myself to look at his face and realized he is yet again smirking.
"I heard a loud noise and came to see if you were alright, but I guess you are since your checking me out." He said while smirking. Shocker there. Why do I have to marry a cocky jerk even if he is hot. I didn't even reply I just slammed the door in his face, but he stuck his foot in the way. I just walked away looking for my shoes to get out of here and away from Zachary.
"What are you doing?" He asked as if it wasnt completely obvious I was looking for something. I just shot him the famous Morgan glare. He put his hands up in surrender, but still had that stupid smirk on his face.
"I'm looking for my shoes I wanna go home." I said in a "duh" tone. As soon as the world left my mouth his smirk got even bigger if thats even possible. He laught. He just sat there and laught at me. My face must of shown how confused I was because next he said.
"This is your home now sweetheart." Did I ever mention I want to smack that smirk right off his face.
"No" I said like thats something completely impossible. "Its to soon. I'm still in school. They said I could be in school for a few more months.
"Your still going to school you'll just be living here. Our parents think it'd be great for us." He said in such a sarcastic tone. At least I know he's not the only one whose annoyed at this whole arrangement. After a little while of silence which I dont know if I would classify as awkward or comfortable. I just think we were both a loss of words honestly.
"Your parents brought over your stuff this morning. Everything is unpacked in our room." He said kind of awkwardly obvously not really knowing what to say. I stood there shocked. I really hoped he didn't our room. My parents would never allow that well I never thought they'd make me get married at 17, so I guess maybe they would.
"Please tell me you didn't say our." I asked and made sure he heard the hope in my voice, but I had a feeling he did say our. I know I'm only setting myself up for disappointment, but I dont really wanna think about sharing a room with him. I dont wanna marry him or have his child either, but we can't have everything we want.
"Yeah our moms idea. They thought we should get use to it before we actually married." He said clearly annoyed at the fact that his parents are running his life just like mine are. I know we should try and be friends seeing as no one understands what we're going through, but the other person.
"I would stay in another room or on the couch or something, but my mom as some of her staff working here since she doesn't believe I can do anything on my own. Which means she has people watching us, so if we dont share a room than our mothers will bitch as us or well my mother will bitch at me." He said sitting down on the bed putting his head in his hands rubbing his forhead. After a little while of deciding I sat next to him rubbing his back like a mother should do with their child. He tensed at my first touch, but soon relaxed to my touch. We sat there for a while not saying anything just sitting in a comfortable silence. I think this is the first time we actually got a long.
"Oh by the way were going to dinner with our parents tonight. Their also annoucing our engagement. Sounds great doesn't it." He said. His voice dripping with sarcasm. "We playing the picture that we've been best friend our whole lives and two years ago we started dating because it just right to us apparently. We didn't tell anyone except our parents and now we want to get married because we just couldn't wait any longer we we're just to 'madly in love'. Sounds perfect right."
I know this sounds bad at such a moment, but I laughed. I couldn't hold it anymore I fell over from laughing so much. "Do they think people will actually believe that." I asked surpried and still laughing a bit. He chuckled and he smiled. Yup thats right he smiled! He looked so cute when he smiled I thought to myself.
"I guess they do seeing as thats what we're playing at." He said a little bit shocked too. "I feel like this is just a game to them just some sick game like their not actually messing with our lives. They dont even seem to care what we want or if it does mess with our lives. It could completely ruin up, but do they care. Nope. They only care about their damn buinesses." He finished with such angry in his voice.
"By doing this what did your parents take away from you? Like were you in college or did you have a girlfriend?" I asked a little surprised at myself that I actually asked that, but it just slipped out of my mouth.
"I was in college. I was going to Columbia full ride. I went there with my best friend, but my parents took me because well this whole arrangment got in the way and no I didn't have a girlfriend." He said his face fell once he mentioned his best friend.
"At least you got to expereince some sort of life. I wont even finish high school. I dont get to go to college and meet new people. I will never know if I can make it on my own. My parents have taken everything from me. First they take my childhood and now their taking my future." After I said that I felt as if I were going to cry, but I didn't wanna be weak again in front of him. "My parents took me on every buiness trip they ever went on, but they always acted as if I weren't there. I was home schooled with a tutor until I was 16 and thats when I went to Roseville High. Thats where I met my best friend in the entire world." I wanted to stop talking, but everything just came out and I didn't care that I was spilling my heart out to him even though I've known him for two days. " I've never really had any friends. Liz is her name she is my first and only friend. And now I thought I was so close to getting away from this. My family. The girls who torment me at school. I was so close and they ruined everything." After all that was said I didn't even give him a chance to respond. I didn't want his pity. Thats why I never told anyone any of that is because everyone would give me pity and I dont want that, so before he could say anything I walked out the door of the room I was in. I didn't really know where I was going, so I walked into a random bedroom and locked the door behind me. I put my back to the door and slid down. I brought my knees to my chest and stared at the wall.
After a couple of minutes I felt Zachary bang on the door yelling at me to open up, but I didn't listen because I just didn't care. Soon it got all quite and I heard him walk away from the door and thats when I got up and walk over to sit at the window seat and just stared out the window watching cars go by and little kids playing games. Next thing I know I heard a key in the lock and I saw Zachary walk in looking very angry. Again I didn't care.
"Why did you just walk away from me Cammie?" He asked still very annoyed, but I can hear the worry in his voice. I didn't understand why he was worried didn't get it. I didn't want his pity.
"Because Zachary I didn't want you pity." I said with vemon in my voice. I wasn't angry with him, but I didn't want his pity. I wanted very much to get that point across.
"Call me Zach one and two I'm not gonna give you pity. I know you don't want that. I know what that feels like. I know how it feels to have everyone think you have the perfect life because your parents have money. Trust me I know I may not have had it bad as you, but you should be thankful for being homeschooled for so long because I had so many people trying to my friend just because my family had money. No one understood that fact that it wasn't mine that every dime of that money belonged to my parents. I wanted to go to school, so I could get make it in life without their help. I got a full ride because I earned that myself. I did that without my parents. I was so happy that I finally got something without their help and it was all taken away because they were selfish and wanted more money." He said with such angry in his voice. Maybe we're not so different after all. Even though we have to get married I feel like we could be great friends. He understands me and I understand him. For the first time since I met him I don't feel so alone in the world. I'm glad I met him even under the circumstances maybe this could work. Maybe just maybe I'm starting to like Zachary Goode.
