Chapter 32
Her graduation from college, swearing in as a doctor, highschool graduation and prom pictures are all here. Francesca doesn't know we'll have to start talking about having a child soon, and three children for that matter. I haven't told her cause I'm still trying my best to end this marriage but all efforts are proving futile. I've had meetings with one of the best attorneys, lawyers and every law related personnel. None has proven fertile, this contract was not drafted by only our parents, they other parties involved. Other anonymous parties, I don't know why mum did it but I'm sure Francesca's parents knew this contract went deeper than what the eye saw.
They are many controversies and problems related to this marriage. We need to find a way out and according to my lawyer, having children will be the first and only step.
After having children and staying for some years, we can figure a way out. The lawyer asked me why I don't want to stay in a marriage with her. I just answered saying we don't have feelings for each other but I knew deep down that I really didn't care about feelings. I don't have feelings for any woman neither do I want to have. I know staying in a marraige with her will only mean I'll be doing exactly what they want me to do. I'm Damien Lorenzo and I'll surely find out the secret behind this sham of a marriage.
I don't want to be binded or enslaved in this contract. I also know she doesn't want to be in this marriage and that she believes in love and all those stuff I don't like. She's a dreamer who believes in fairy tales and I'm the exact opposite. You might say opposites attract but that's not the case for me at all.
I shrug my thoughts off and make my way downstairs. I take a sit beside Francesca and avoid her. My mind is still not quite settled and the feel of her lips on mine is still evident. I watch her from the side of my eye and see the way she also acts nonchalantly. I sigh in content as I actually don't want any complications. It's obvious she's not the emotional type. That's good, I really don't want any unnecessary drama.
He sister gets a dare to kiss me and my mind literally freezes. Kiss me? Okay, I'm not really a kissing guy plus I definitely don't want my lips to touch hers. What's with dares and kisses? Some people just like wasting time. Why can't you dare a person to start a good business or become innovative? I knew this dinner was a bad idea. I really shouldn't spend my time on useless things anymore. It's difficult to ignore a dinner that's taking place in your house though. I'm definitely not accepting this dare. She walks up to me and and brings her lips closer. I wanted to pull out but I didn't cause I thought if I did, Francesca will know I have no interest in her sister. Of course I have no interest in her sister but she doesn't know that.
She brings her lips closer and her heavy perfume assaults my nose, I waited but Francesca never said anything and then her lips collided with mine. She kept nibbling on my lower lip but I never gave in or opened my lips.
To the others, it might seem like we're actually kissing but she's the only one doing the kissing. Her lipstick is assaulting my lips. When the twenty seconds is over, I finally pull out.
Francesca has a neutral expression on her face and I just shrug it off. Francesca is dared to sit on Fred's lap and drink from a wine bottle and she actually does so. She looked like a freaking model and the scene was so erotic.
The rest of the game passed bye in a blur. Everyone decided they wanted to go to the comfort room and after that, Francesca and Liza went upstairs to get changed. I also left to get a change of clothes. I had a quick shower then I brushed my teeth before changing into sweats and a hoodie then pairing it with flip flops. I just brush my hair back and leave it messy.
After dressing up I met the guys who also seemed to have changed in the comfort room. We were chatting and talking about business before Francesca and her friend came in.
Immediately she stepped into the room, it was noticeable. I glanced at her for a while before turning back to Sam. But he was obviously busy sending flirting gazes to his girlfriend.
I left them a while after she came to talk to him. I already knew where that could lead to. Sam is really ridiculous, he's a hopeless romantic. I find that time wasting, what did he mean by he knew she was the one for him? Did he see their future or something?
I joined Francesca on the other bed and i smirked at how she mistook me for her friend, Liza. We spoke about the kiss and I asked her if it had bothered her. She said no and I told her I was bothered by the dare she had with Fred.
I'm not really bothered, infact I don't really care anyway. I just wanted to get a reaction out of her and at the end of the chat, she got upset and left. I followed her since I also didn't want to sleep in the comfort room.
We both laid on bed and I reminded her about the marriage being made public. With that, I closed my eyes and let sleep engulf me. I was really tired...
