21 - Husband
She couldn't sleep the whole night so the next day, she was like a blast going down the stairs. She scratched her head going to the kitchen and drank cold water to wake her sleepy spirit but there's no effect.
"Good morning!" Zyd greeted her warmly.
Lianne was still scratching her groin. "Good morning too."
Who would say good morning to her early? She never met Zyd inside the house every morning, she only thought of Lula and Tacu to greet her. Thank goodness the dogs in this house can talk.
"Are you sick or something?"
"I'm okay-" Her eyes widened automatically when she remembered that the pets weren't talking.
She could clearly see Zyd's new bath and super fresh look. The sunlight hit his face and the angels sang. Wait, wait- why did there suddenly come sunlight in the kitchen? She was stunned by the sheer beauty of it and could not breathe. This is probably the sign.
"Elhouette ..."
She bit her lip so hard in her bedroom voice. If she had such a good morning, she would wake up every morning.
"Y-yes ..." Why did she answer like a howling?
The man approached her and she felt a strange gaze. Their distance was so close, she could already smell the aftershave of its use and she was hypnotized. The speed of her heartbeat, the faster she felt she would be hit by a love-attack!
"Elhouette ..." he repeated to pronounce her name and reached for her cheek.
She closes her eyes and waits for what he will do. Maybe when she's bored, she can't estimate it.
"You're salivating"
She suddenly opened her eyes and quickly touched her mouth, she was salivating. She looked at Zyd, he was already smiling and suddenly smirked. Animal, animal! She was embarrassed and ran out of the kitchen but before she could get out, she turned around for a moment and she could clearly see the annoyed smile that followed her gaze. You have a day too! She continued to run up the stairs to the top.
Lianne was nervous as Zyd was next to her in the passenger seat. They are on their way to 'Meet My Family' as he says. She had almost drunk a liter of water from the man's tumbler in extreme nervousness. This is her first time, and she doesn't know how to act. Sheena's advice to him was, 'be yourself', but how would she do that if with Zyd she would lose herself now.
She almost became a stump when Zyd led her into his parents' big house. If he hadn't already grabbed her hand and pulled her inward, she wouldn't have been able to step on her feet wearing heels.
"Hi Mom, Dad."
"Oh hello, son! We're glad you came to-" The lady, who she thinks is in her mid 50's, stopped speaking for a moment. With its hair color and brightness of skin, she is a pure Canadian. "Who is this beautiful young lady?" She approached her and looked at her closely.
"Mom, don't do that. You're making her anxious."
The lady laughed and apologized. Lianne rested and smiled rawly at the man's mother. She's almost there, the lady might notice that the eyeshadow, blush on and lipstick she used are the same. She has no make-up pallets. She's not like Sheena who always fixes her up whenever she takes her to bars or clubs before.
If she was dizzy earlier outside, she was even more dizzy when they were in the living room. If before the people there were talking happily, now they suddenly became quiet and everyone was looking at them, especially at her. She was suddenly disgusted and looked at her dress.
She was secretly biting her lip wearing fitted jeans and a simple blouse. Zyd says, they're just going to a simple gathering. Family dinner. Family dinner! But why did she see almost 30 people inside?! Did she miss anything in its biography?
"Everyone, I want you to meet my wife, Elhouette."
He tightened her grip on Zyd's hand when he said that word and everyone couldn't believe it. They started muttering but no one contradicted what the man said. After a few seconds, they smiled as if nothing had happened and she greeted the family. The fun returned and the rest of the women approached her and flirted.
"I'm going to pee," she whispered as he pulled Zyd's hand away. She was drinking water the whole time.
Zyd quickly offered to accompany her to the toilet but she refused. Zyd just pointed to the man and he immediately obeyed what he said. Going straight, going forward, she turns left, then left, she turns right, and then right, she turns left again. And when she sees nothing you, 'she doesn't need to pee.
She took a deep breath after exiting the toilet room. Because she needs to pee, she thinks that she had memorized what Zyd said. She was done and went back to the table with Zyd's family, when she heard someone talking. She ignored it but when she heard her talking, she was suddenly taken back and listened.
"I don't like her. To think that she's part of our family was repugnant for me."
"Neither do I. She's way too crummy and look, have you seen her eye shadow and lipstick? Eww! I feel embittered."
"You mean ... Extremely obnoxious?"
"Exactly!"
At the same time, they laughed very loudly and even joked against her name which was said to be very flawed. Oh, really? Instead of getting angry and walking out, she waited for them to go in her direction. She is also eager to fight. When was the last time she fought ostentatiously?
They were like seeing a ghost when they saw her leaning complacently against the cement wall. Instead of apologizing to her, they just raised an eyebrow at her when the yellow haired like shit. Tae ka ghorl?
"What?" the brown hair said.
Wow the cruelty! Young people here in this country are really different, it's thrilling.
"You know, most of the days when I look in a mirror, I feel ugly." They immediately laughed at what she said. "But when I LOOK at the two of you, I feel lucky."
"You bitch-"
"Uh-oh," she was alert to whatever the two would say. "Calling someone on that doesn't make you smarter. Oh! One more, I may say, 'Intelligence' is key, and you two are LOCKED OUT." she grinned and left the two women speechless.
She was laughing when she came back when she met Zyd ... No, it's not the man because his clothes are different. But why does Zyd look like that? She was stunned and so was it. It looked at him.
"Elhouette ?!"
"C-caiden ?!"
Her eyes widened and before he could get any closer to her and hug her, she slapped him.
"Wife?" Zyd's voice was what she heard and when she looked back at it, it was just casual. She approached him and immediately put her arm around him. She was thrilled but also disappeared quickly.
"Woahhh! You two ended up together? Wow," said a man who looked like Zyd. "Now I believe in the internet," he laughs.
She didn't have to ask; it was really obvious that he was the one who fooled her thru online. But instead of getting angry, she calmly faced him and gave a slap, one slap is enough for the mess he made in her life.
"He's my younger brother, Zig Caiden. We've always been called twins since we were kids, but we aren't twins."
That's why. She just raised an eyebrow at him. 'Those feelings she 'supposedly' had here with a man named Zig, are gone. As in nothing really. It's just annoyed her, in using a different persona, not the real Capt. McCluskey.
Are you still chossy, Lianne? You should just be thankful because 'isn't it, with your love-attached 'you're already with Zyd and living like a queen? she was momentarily stunned by the whisper of her brain. As a matter of fact, ...
"And she's my online girlfriend." It made her mad.
Disgusting.
"She's my wife."
"Fuck, no ways! Really?" a silly question.
"I am, you idiot. Now, get your ass out of my sight!" she sighed and pulled Zyd back to the dining room where his family was.
"Wow, she's really a fire." She even heard Zig chasing. "Well, good luck on that Elhouette. My brother is a mother fucker!"
Lianne was quietly hanging out on one side with Zyd's family. She also found out that the brown-haired man he had encountered earlier was the youngest brother. So what? Is she going to fight, eh. His mouth is too rude. The whole area was noisy and she laughed at them and talked while her husband left because his father called her for some paperwork.
"Can I have a few words with you, young lady?" Zyd's mother approached him. She was smiling so she was comfortable with her when she led her to talk on the balcony.
