Just as they were nearing a left turn, Shawn's phone suddenly rang. It was vibrating inside his pocket that he couldn't help but turn his attention to the road and parked it near a stop.
"Excuse me," Shawn said turning to look at her. Once the car stopped, he grabbed onto his phone from his pocket and stared at him for a second.
Who could that person be?
"Hello Madison." Once Shawn put his phone on his ear and answered the call, he immediately mentioned the caller's name that made her turn her head towards the road.
The man made sure to put the phone on speaker so that all doubts from his woman would disappear, although at the corner of his eyes, he can see the disinterest in her face as though she couldn't be bothered at all.
"Shawb, I need your help," the woman from the other side of the phone said.
Ericka, who was listening secretly
On the other hand, Shawn who was staring at the disappearing silhouette of the woman just shook his head and then crossed his arms.He can't help but get irritated at her stubborness. She became so hard-headed ever since she came back from running away. She also keeps pushing him away and starting fights that he couldn't understand why. Did he ever do something to her?However, despite all the things he has been noticing with his fianceé, he can't just deny nor demand her to act the way he wants, knowing that she have gone through a lot and she might not be saying anything about her circumstance.All he could do was to support her every decision including the baby he saw two years ago.His eyes closed for a second as he remembers the scene playing in his head.It was one time when he accidentally saw her on the streets. Her father Mr. Holmes and him were
Immediately, the moment Shawn realized what was happening, he roughly pulled the woman away from him, breaking the kiss midway.He stared at her with a disgusted look on her face followed by his forehead creasing."Are you insane?" he said, almost shouting in disdain. "What are you doing?" he added, not realizing why this woman would do it in the first place.The woman looked at him with a surprised look but before Shawn could continue to react, the door to the car suddenly flew open and a silhouette came inside."Ericka," Shawn called out. He was surprised that this woman suddenly came inside his vehicle making the whole place awkward.Quickly, the woman takes a seat in the backseat and just shuts the door to the car."Good thing you went to pick up my sister and left me," Ericka said. There was something in her tone that shows how di
However, even before she could ask anything about the matter, Jenna managed to brush off the comment and turn her attention back to her."Sissy, congratulations! You'll soon become Mrs. Gray like any other woman has dreamt off!" Jenna said that made her knit her forehead.Her face tried to flash a smile but she could hear the sarcasm in her tone. It was obvious that she is just acting ignorant.Meanwhile, Ericka, who couldn't handle her anger anymore, just exploded from within. She couldn't help but let out sour words as well, as she tried to boast in front of her supposed sister."Oh my, thank you for the greeting," Ericka replied, a wide smirk flashing through her lips. "Don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Gray and if I ever saw her cheating when we get married, I'll assure you that I'll cut his one and only happiness," she continued before her eyes landed at the rearview mirror.&
A chuckle escaped Shawn's lips and it was music to her ears. She couldn't help but anticipate his words as she lifts her head to look at him, only to notice the man staring right at the old woman."Yes Auntie." There he was, a sincere smile flashing through his face. "I came here to marry my fianceé right away. In front of Uncle since he is a pastor. I want him to bless us now and have our first marriage contract," Shawn said before his eyes slowly turn to look at her.Immediately, Ericka felt her face warming up from the words he mouthed. She instinctively turned away in embarrassment as she noticed Jenna not making a single word.There was a dark expression looming through her face and at the back of her mind, she couldn't help but become confused.Why is Shawn trying to marry her and have Jenna become the first witness? Is he trying to hurt his girlfriend? Or is there some
At the touch of his lips against her skin, she suddenly felt butterflies through her stomach that made her giggle from within.Truth be told, she is still speechless while looking at the man."Congratulations, Mrs. Gray, no one will be able to take me away from you again," Shawn added that pulled her back to reverie. It seems that he is pruposely making his voice loud to make sure that Jenna could hear him say those words.Meanwhile, her step-sister looked distraught yet tried to compose herself. She forced another smile through her lips before weakly saying, "Congratulations… Sissy and… Shawn," she said after a long pause.It was obvious that she wanted to choke down her words, unable to utter sincere greetings for the two of them.Ericka who didn't mind it anymore couldn't help but show her a gaping smile through her lips.
Ericka kept blinking her eyes at the unfathomable thing that had just happened. Her heart was still racing like crazy and at any minute, she felt like it would leap away from her heart and she'd die from this forsaken happiness."Why does it seem like you couldn't believe that the two of us just got married?" a voice asked her from behind. He let out a chuckle and it was like music to her ears.This was the first time in a long time she enjoyed hearing his voice ringing through the four corners of the room.In one instance, it was like they were the only people in the place while their hearts were in sync and she could feel his breath against his lips."Isn't this what you wanted?" Ericka was pulled back from reverie as the man continued to speak. She then turned to look at him abd then quickly, her brows furrowed.What does he mean?"
"What are you going to wear?" Ericka's voice pulled him back from his reverie and quickly, he turned around to face her.He can suddenly smell her freshly bathed skin, the fragrance of her shampoo alluring the whole terrace as stared at him with a dumbfounded look."Hello? Earth to Shawn," she added, which made him jump back a little."Ah, yes," he said, which immediately made him stand up. "I have extra clothes in my car, I just forgot to bring it upstairs," Shawn said, quickly walking away in a panic. He could feel his shaft harder than earlier from Ericka's body that made him leave.It was a good thing that she didn't even notice that's why it was easy for him to walk out.However, midway he was just going through the room, he suddenly remembered something that made him turn around."Ericka," he called that made the woman look at hi
Ericka couldn't help but stare at the door blankly as the man left her in a trance. She couldn't believe what was happening and still felt like everything was a dream.She lets out a sharo sigh as she heard the sound of the shower from across the four corners of the room. She knows that after Shawn finishes taking a bath, he'll lay beside her and then… they sleep together in one bed.However, is it even alright for them to sleep in one bed? They are married, that's true but it still concerns her knowing that it was did overnight.There shouldn't be any reasons for them to sleep on separate beds yet she still feel tensed.She shook her head upon the thoughts in her mind. She shouldn't be thinking too much about it when they're already a couple.Just as she tried to squirm through the blankets of her bed, another thought suddenly passed her mind.
