"I've come to realize that marriage is just a piece of paper and nothing else! We are happy this way, and it shouldn't be anyone's business, right?" He said.
Should I ask him to elaborate on that?
No, this was not the right place and time to discuss that!
Just three more days to go and then we'd be all alone, and I guess that would be the right time to have this 'talk'!
"I will talk to my family," he said, "I will make sure they don't humiliate you again. I'm sorry I didn't take them seriously before."
"No... You don't need to do that," I said.
"I want to do that," he said.
"Edward... I think I'm good now. I don't want you to have any kind of conflicts with your family because of me. I mean, not right now! It's your sister's wedding and everyone is having fun! I don't want to create a scene and spoil the wedding," I said, "I will manage."
"No... It's not fair to you," he said.
"Believe me. I can manage this," I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes." I smiled.
Yeah, I guess I could do this. I just needed to ignore them for a few days, and everything should be good!
"I don't want us to fight because of anyone," he said, "I just don't want that. And that too, when there's no fucking issue!"
Yeah, he was right.
Why exactly should we fight because of outside influences!
I still had a lot of questions though.
He said he wanted to marry young, but then something big must have happened that caused him to change his mind to this extent!
And he said Angela changed her mind last year? So she didn't want to marry earlier, but then she changed her mind?
Why did she change her mind?
What happened last year that caused her to change her mind?
He said he had moved on, and I trusted him, but what if old feelings resurface? They were in a relationship for eight fucking years!
And it seemed he didn't plan to get married anytime soon, which should be okay I guess? I mean, technically I also didn't plan to get married again...
But did I still think the same? Actually, I wasn't too sure! I needed to think about it!
But what if I wanted to get married at some point and he didn't? Where was it going to take us?
Oh my God!
I felt like my head was spinning!
I had so many questions!
Yes, we definitely needed to talk, but discussing this now was definitely not a good idea because I had a feeling I might not like some of the answers and then we'd end up fighting again!
Just a few more days to go!
Yeah!
All I had to do was just keep my thoughts in check for a few days!
I could do this!
I could do this, right?
Right?
