《Arranged Marriage to The Devil》Chapter 26: Me Being Me

"So he ditched you... In the middle of the parking lot and then you walked home?! How long did that take you?!" Leah shrieked.
After meeting up with Eric and getting ditched at the diner. I decided to walk to Leah's house. She was quite surprise to see me.
I stuffed my mouth with a large amount of popcorn, "Doesn't matter. What matter is that this is getting ridiculous."
Leah nodded her head and turn towards the TV, "Exactly!! who the hell does that, leaves a girl because you can't confess a deal between you and a D*ckhead. Alex if I were you, I would of forced it out of Andrews mouth and let him cough it up!"
My eyes lit up. Why haven't I thought about that before?
I jumped off of Leah's bed and grabbed my bag, "Leah you're a genius!!"
Leah was confused, "I am?" She paused the movie and followed me down the hall towards the stairs.
I stepped down each step explaining, "you just told me to force the answer out of Andrew right??" She nodded her head and given me the signal to continue. "well I'm going to do that!!"
Her face went pale, "Alex.. When I was saying that, I wasn't actually thinking straight. I was more so saying it out of anger." She protested.
I grabbed my car keys from the key holder and burst open the door. "Doesn't matter, it's a plan I have already decided I wanted to do it."
I don't even think Leah realize she wasn't wearing shoes until she stepped on the sidewalk going towards the drive way. She crossed her arms together, "Well I'm just going to say good luck!! Because I don't see this ending well."
I turned on my car and whined down the window, "Leah please! This was one of the best ideas you have ever given to me. I'll text you later," I yelled.
I reversed out of her drive way and drove off towards Andrews house.
Once I reached Andrew's house I noticed both of his parents weren't home.
I shut off the car and walked towards the front door.
I raised my hand to knock but I stopped. Why am I obsessing over this?
It's been three years and I am graduating soon. I need to move on. Apply to colleges, start getting a job.
High school drama is over.
Lowering my fist made me realize that; now, right now I am letting go. Letting go of my past.
I walked down the stairs and slowly moving my feet towards the car. "I can do this,"
Chanting to myself. "I can do this."
Searching through my pockets I took out my small handful of keys. Well just only three keys and a munch of key chain I collected over the years.
I had one for each trip I went on. From my very first trip to Florida to my last vacation in Cuba, I collected them all.
My favorite is the Florida one. It was a year before dad died, also when Andrew and I were really close friends.

We had fun, both of our fathers took us on the rides while our mothers stayed on the ground; where they knew it was "safe".
If it was a close to ground ride, it was likely for both mom and Auntie Andrea to go but rare to see them enjoy it.
They liked the shows and the effects from Indiana Jones. I didn't like it so much since I wanted to go on the rides.
It was a fun, memorable adventure.
"Earth to Alex!"
My head swiftly turned. Behind me was Andrew, in his hands was two large plastic bags. Each one says 'Food mart' in large bold red letters.
"Alex again with the day dreaming what has gotten into you?!" Andrew said while trying to grab my attention.
I looked up and shrugged my shoulders. "I'm not sure," I looked down at the bags and saw chips and popcorn inside. "I'm guessing your having a party?"
He looked down and his cheeks turned a tinted red, "No, I.. Uh.. Was going to have a movie night." He paused and shifted his feet together, "by myself,"
I smiled at his embarrassment. He was alone tonight? How adorable.
Wait what am I thinking?? Adorable?
I slip my keys into my pocket, "would you care if another human was involve with your movie night?"
His hazel eyes looked up towards me, "Really??"
I nodded my head to confirm my answer.
He grabbed my arm and dragged me up the stairs to the front door. "Well that settles, you and I are going to have a movie night!!"
I chuckled, "I guess so. What kind of movie would you like to watch?" I asked, while searching through the wide inventory of movies.
He shut the door with his feet and marched inside the kitchen, "I was thinking of a comedy you know?"
My fingers touched on Hot Pursuit. "what about this movie?" I slid the movie out of its place and shown Andrew.
He was pouring popcorn in a large bowl and grabbed two pop cans out of the fridge. He place the popcorn, two Pepsi cans on a tray and came over to the shelve. "Yeah let's watch it,"
I open the case and placed the DVD inside the Blu-Ray system.
"Have you seen this movie yet?" Andrew asked
I shook my head no, "I seen the trailers but not the actual movie,"
He sat down on the couch and extended his legs on to the coffee table. "I haven't either. But Alec bought it one day and it has been sitting there ever since,"
"How is Alec anyways?" I asked
Since the whole incident, Andrew, his brother and his family have been getting along much better.
Uncle Anthony has accepted Alec's decision of becoming an engineer and understands that his sons has to make decisions on his own.
Andrew on the other hands, has been being suffocated with "advice" from his father and also how he should treat his new "wife" a.k.a me.
I still do not know why they're planing a wedding for us. It just doesn't make sense.

I snapped out of my train of thought and focused on the movie. I noticed it was at the scene where the police officer meets the rich women who keeps on carrying a beige colored bag.
I wonder why she carries that bag all the time.
I take a glimpse at Andrew and notice he was drawn into the movie.
"why are you staring at me?" He asked
I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know," I answered, "I just wanted to see your reaction to the movie."
"Oh" he replied. I still wanted to ask him about Eric and take Leah's advice and force it out of him but I didn't want to push it.
I had a feeling inside to let it go and just enjoy the movie for.
~~~~~~
The credits started showing on the screen.
Andrew clapped his hands together, "Now I have to say that was a hilarious movie."
I nodded my head in agreement, "Yeah it was, I have to say that Sofia is a wonderful actress!"
"Yeah and the body of an angel," Andrew stated.
I scrunch my nose in disgust. "Uhh.. No I wasn't thinking that."
I gotten up from my spot and walked over to the Kitchen. I opened the freezer and found a box full of Pizza pockets. "Oh! Pizza Pocket!" I cried out.
"Sure Alex go ahead and take my food. Sure I don't mind," Andrew sarcastically said
I ignored his comment and stretch my arms inside the freezer for the pizza pocket. "Well would you like one!" I yelled out
"Alexandra why in the hell are you yelling?!"
Both Andrew and I looked over to see Alec with messy hair, crumbled clothes and him rubbing his eyes.
"Aww look at mister sleepy pants over there, whining." I said in a high pitch baby voice.
Alec scrunched his face and covered his ears, "I have a really bad hang over and if I hear any loud noises I will kill you."
I shrugged my shoulders and placed the pizza pockets on an oven tray. After I evenly place the pizza pockets on each tray then closed the door loudly. Alec flinched and muttered an ouch.
I laugh to myself, I like to torture people a bit. Opening and closing the cupboard I scream out loudly, "So Alec! How are you this evening? Cranky? Unhappy?"
His eyes were blood shot red, he looked like his eyes can kill me in one shot.
Andrew thought it was quite amusing. He sat down in one of the tools and smirked.
"Alex please shut up." Alec plead quietly.
I continue to bang the cupboard doors together. "What I can't hear you? What did you say?" I purposely raised my voice.
"ALEXANDRA!" Alec screeched, "WOULD YOU SHUT UP NOW?!"
I stop mid way of closing the cupboard door. "Okay," then I slam the cupboard door as loud as I could.
To be dramatic, I believe the sound echoed through the house. Making Alec yet again upset at me. Well now he's beyond angry. I'm not sure theirs another emotion after this.
Well their is but you get what I'm saying.
He stood up from his spot. "You better start running." He slowly started creeping towards me.
My feet were sliding backwards towards the fridge door. While I was sliding I picked up two pans that were place on the island stove.
Alec stopped in his place, "You wouldn't," he spat out
I brought both of the pans close together and given Alec an challenge look. "Maybe I would?"
Glancing over at Andrew I saw that he was coming towards me. I extended one of the pans towards Andrew, he backed away and chuckled. "what are you going to do Rapunzel, bang a frying pan to my head?"
I tilt my head to the side, "I'm debating."
Andrew eyes widen but change to a evil glare, "I'll take the challenge,"
Both of the Carter boys were inching closer. I had to what was best for me.
I started banging the pots!
Both Andrew and Alec covered their ears. Alec looked like he actually wanted to cry.
I should be feeling guilty but I don't.
"Take it away from her!" Andrew yelled over my excessive banging.
"What?!" Alec yelled. I don't know why he was trying to listen, he was covering his ears for crying out loud!
I wasn't paying attention when the pans were taken out of my reach, "Hey!"
Before I could say anything I was being picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder. Kicking and screaming, "Let me go! I'll call my lawyer!"
"I seriously don't understand how you can be honestly so annoying." Andrew sighed
I tried to cross my arms and huffed in defeat. "You're mean," I whined
I knew Andrew was smirking by the way he said "Thank you, oh my what nice as--"
I hit him on the back. He wince in pain and dropped me on his bed. "Andrew if you wanted me in bed so badly why didn't you ask?" I said smugly.
He was facing his desk when he swiftly turned around. "Why do I need to ask?"
I scrunched my eyebrows together, "Because that is the polite way to do.."
I didn't notice he was close when I notice I was looking up. He knees down in front of me and stared into my eyes. I wanted to comment on what was happening but I couldn't.
I was curious on what was going on through his mind. His eyes were showing me; playful, lust and something else.
He slowly leaned in. I felt his breath close to my lips. For once I felt that feeling, but I had no words for this feeling.
What in the world is going on?!
He brushed past my lips and towards my ear. I felt a shiver go down to my toes.
Again. What??
"Why do I need to ask when you're already on my bed?"
He leaned away smirking and then stood there smiling in the center of his floor.
I was speechless.
Beyond speechless.
No words can describe how I was feeling.
