"It was an agreement when we were pregnant. We met on the 'Yoga for Future-Mommies' and became best friends and we happened to be pregnant with opposite genders and we agreed and..... okay... forget what I said. I don't even know what I said! And your dads are related! As in the far-related, related and so we decided..." Alice babbled on. While, I guess, I zoned out. An aftershock.
"So you made an arranged-marriage decision for us which we, as in Christabella and I, don't even know, and will never agree to. That's so... 50-s. Or 40-s... or whatever number-ties... it's just old fashioned! Can't we cancel it?" Zephyr asked, almost shouting.
"It's not that ba..." Alice stuttered.
"Well, guess what? I've got a girlfriend. She's errr... nice, beautiful and clever! Her name is... Jessica! Yea! Jessica!" Andrew added.
Everyone turned to me. I was numb. From all the information forced into my head. I think I need a new memory card or something. I was trying to interpret and understand every single thing they are saying but I can't. It's like they are speaking alien or something. Maybe I shouldn't speak bad about Zephyr. After all, he's my fiancé... OMIGOD! What am I saying? My what??? Okay. Let's just keep to Zephyr. This is weird and awkward.
"Christabella? What do you think?" Mr Jonathan asked. WHAT DO I THINK??? WHAT WILL I THINK??? WHAT SHOULD I THINK??? WHAT WOULD I THINK??? WHAT I MUST THINK??? Isn't it decided? If I said no, will they cancel it???
"Erm... I don't know... this is all too sudden... I... I need to go... to the restroom... the restroom..." I said. Giving an excuse so I can calm myself down. Or get myself away from all this...
"Zephyr, show her to the restroom..." Alice said.
"It's along the hallway there on you left," he pointed down the hallway.
"Go stand up and show her!" Alice whispered, giving him a nudge.
"Oh, it's okay. I can find it myself. Really..." I said.
Zephyr grunted a bit and mumbled something about his fiancée being a navigator-idiot. I felt my jaw dropped. Ouch! Then he motioned to me to follow him. It was a few second before my feet actually obeyed my brain.
When we reached the end of the looooong halfway. Gosh! I gotta say, they ARE too rich to be true... I stopped and turned around. It was so sudden we almost collided.
"If you don't agree, then you say it. I won't be hurt if you don't want to marry me... Cause I don't want to either," I said as coolly as I can.
"Who said I was gonna marry you? Don't try to make it sound like I want to marry you in the first place. Cause you are not worth my time..." Zephyr said. I winced, ouch! That hurts too...
..............................................................
Zephyr realized what he had just said. Now he felt guilty.
Christabella said, " And who wants to marry a jerk like you?"
"Who wants to marry an idiot and retard like you?" Zephyr shot back.
"You better watch it!" Christabella hissed. Trying to contain her anger.
"Oh really? Or what? What will you do? Cry?" Zephyr faked a laugh.
"I'm gonna... slap you!" Christabella raised her hands to slap him...
"Ooo... I'm scared..." Zephyr teased.
"Oh! How cute... arguing..." Alice said.
"I'm not marrying him!" Christabella said.
"I'm not marrying her!" Zephyr said at the same time.
"And meant to be too!" Tanya-Lee added. Christabella gave her mother a really hard stare. But Tanya-Lee deliberately ignored her and started giggling with Alice. Christabella shuddered. Adults giggling are really weird.
