Gia's POV
I went to the room and closed my eyes to sleep and fell asleep immediately. I didn't know how tired I was until I woke up later in the midnight. 2 o'clock in the morning. I slept for an entire day. Wow. This is the first time I am slept this long. I stood up to go take my bath. I am very sure I stink and I slept with makeup on.
I went to check my things but then I remembered I brought nothing to this place. I should have somethings in my car but my car is not here. It Is back at the centre. Fuck.
I have to ask Dominic to lend me something to wear. I will get my things when it is bright. But he might be sleeping and I don't want to disturb him.
I searched the room for something but saw nothing...not even a shirt. I gave up and went to pee. I saw a bathroom when I was coming up. I quickly peed and when I looked at the sink, I saw a shirt and shorts on it.
A small smile came on my face at his thoughtfulness.
I didn't think too much. I took my bath with the body wash I saw in the bathroom. I didn't feel that clean. I need my bath products.
I came out freshly showered and dressed in his too big clothes. Making it envelope me.
I went to search for something to eat.
As I made my way to the kitchen, I saw the modern appliances and the large island in the center of the room. The cabinets were a warm, honey-colored wood, and the countertops were made of gleaming granite. Very modern for a really cozy house.
And I saw the Chinese takeout in the kitchen. It must be for me. Seeing how there was a sticky note with his cursive and slick handwriting in black ink saying 'your food'. And that was all. Doesn't talk much.
As silently as I could. I heated the food in the microwave. After it was hot I ate my food in silence while I scrolled through my phone.
Looking at the screen. It was a live feed of my room in my parent's house. I was watching my sister sneak into my room opening drawers and looking under my bed. Looking for something. What it is, I don't know.
"Where is it"
Her voice came through from the speaker of my phone.
She finally came to my laptop. Opening it and trying to look for something. She knows my password. I told on time before I left because she needed it to do something.
After sifting through the laptop. She groaned not finding anything tangible. Which she will never find. Everything is programmed to another person's system. So what she sees right now is something that another person has. And not mine. Only I know the password to my real system.
I chuckled at the frustrated look in her eyes when she didn't get what she wanted. She kicked a lamp and left the room angrily. I still need my things from my room. At least the laptop.
"Isn't it weird to have a camera in your room." and I jumped
I did not know he was there. How long has he been looking at me. Looking at my sister's frustration at my lack of information in my room.
"God!! Where did you come from?" I held my chest, calming my startled heart. His face was so close to me.
"From my room. You slept really well" he said to me. Moving to sit at the second seat at the kitchen island..
"Yeah." I said . And awkward silence filled the room "thanks for the clothes and the food" I said
"Don't thank me. You are my wife now" my heart skipped a bit at his words.
"You can't say things like that out of nowhere" I scolded him for causing me to almost have a seizure.
"Why? We are married"
"Your car is in the driveway if you need anything... hopefully you still have all your needs in your car like before" He said taking a bit out of my food.
"I do... Take your hand away from my food"
I pushed my food away from him.
He put his hands up in defence leaning away from me..
"We have to talk about our marriage" my voice turned serious. We have to talk about our decision to get married.
"Yeah, please talk because I have nothing much to say. I will just add to what you have to say" He answered his eyebrow raised in waiting for me to talk. I focused my eyes on my food not wanting to meet his eyes.
I cleared my throat and started. I don't know why I am nervous to talk to him. Regardless of my feeling he was my best friend. I need to get over myself.
"Okay, so this is it. We are both married now but we never discussed anything about it. Just that we both needed to protect each other from my sister and get revenge"
I paused.
"Yes"
"Well we have lots to figure out. Like when does this end? Or our work? And you know that since we are married now with you being the mysterious CEO of GB electronics we can't escape the public eye. Do we make our relationship public or keep it a secret? Well if I was to say I would like our relationship to be kept as private as possible "
"I totally agree. A big problem. I already made our relationship public. I announced it not long ago. I am sorry for not asking you first. I thought it was the best since we needed to convince your family as much as possible and make your sister troubled"
He said. His face looking really apologetic.
"Okay we really need to talk about you dropping bombs on me every time. You need to talk to me when you take decisions that involves the two of us. After all we are married" I added a smile at the last part to make him see I wasn't upset.
"It was probably smart of you. But WE have to pick our plubicity. I don't want cameras in everything I do. I am a doctor that values privacy a lot, I am sure you understand"
I added
"I promise. It is going to be for events alone, I get."
I swallowed as I asked the next question. My voice was small as I asked.
"When do you want this to end?" I tried to sound confident but It came out weak instead.
I can feel his eyes on me, burning a hole on my forehead since my eyes is focused on my long forgotten food.
"Whenever you want it to."
"What?"
I looked at him now. Mine meeting his immediately my head is up.
"I will love it if I can keep you safe as long as I can. I can't imagine what you went through with your sister before she...." He said, I can feel his anger at the mention of why my sister did to us.
"Anyway, I don't want this to end, I want you to be close to me so I can keep an eye on you. So whereever you go I follow. We can learn to live with each other, We are best friends even though we weren't in touch for 5years. Except if you don't think that anymore?" He said it with a smile but I can see the reserve in his eyes.
"Of course we still are"
A heartbeat passed. And he nodded
"I want to say let's see how our marriage goes and we should let it blossom but I don't want to lose you at all so we need to set some rules" he said shattering any hope I thought I might have.
"O...oh, yeah....rules"
"Okay. So you think of anything and everything you want in this and don't want and I will write out mine. We will talk when I am back from work later today"
I checked an I saw it was past four in the morning...wow it's been more than 2 hours.
"Are you going to work now? By this Time?"
"No, but I have to go workout. From there I will go to work"
"Ok," I smiled at him
"The cafe or your billion dollar company "
"The cafe obviously "
"Why do you work at the cafe anyway"
A shadow crossed his face at that but he quickly masked it with a smile.
"Later, Gia"
And he left to his room to probably change. I cleared the place I ate and went back to my room to sleep.
