Married to Mr. Arrogant
Subtitle: Getting to know him
Written by : Marvy Hyacinth
(Justin's POV)
I am finally home after so long. Even the long drive home was torturing, I seriously just want to lay my head down in somewhere nice, comfortable and conditioned.
I have absolutely no thoughts as to leaving Zara on the road.
The bitch deserved it.
When I get to the house, I notice the cold atmosphere. There's Louisiana in the dining room with my mom, they're talking and she's continuously dabbing at her eyes with a soft fabric that is soaking up what I presume is her tears.
What had happened to the extent she was crying??
She literally usually spent all her time with Julian or in Julian's room, so I know for a fact that something is up. Supported that occasionally, my mom, offers her papers from a Kleenex box, to clean out her running nose.
"Hi, everyone."
I finally walk in at this point to say hi to my mom and to inquire what has happened between Julian and Louisiana.
Immediately, Roseau hears my voice, her hand that is patting Louisiana's back soothingly suddenly stops and hangs in the air stiffly.
"Louisiana." I call out, but she didn't even respond.
By now I have noticed the odd behaviour of my mom. So I just go to them and sit on the nearest chair to them.
"Mom? What's going on?? What's happened???"
"Oh about that, it's nothing.." she says and I see the hesitation on her face and perceive it in the way she crawls out her words...
"Louisiana?" I call again, this time in an inquisitorial manner and yet again she continues to sniffle.
"How about you tell me how come you stayed out the entire night without anyone's knowledge?" Roseau asks me and I suddenly forget about Louisiana and start to answer her..
"Oh mom, I would have, but... I was stranded in the middle of the road with my secretary with a broken down car, so I had to spend the night in my car, parked on the side of the road and I couldn't call for help because the rain disrupted the network."
"Heavens.. how did that happen? What went wrong? You spent the night on the road cramped up inside his car with a mere secretary??"
"Well, I was stuck at work and on my way back with Zara, the tires deflated while I was in motion. I tried to seek out a repairer's ship nearby, but incidentally, the rain began, so I had to get into the car, to avoid unpleasant incidents.
Again, I said to put a call through to the house to get picked up or something, but unfortunately, my network had been cut off suddenly. I was unable me to make any calls. I had to spend the night in the car through a storm but here I am, fine. I'm okay mom."
"That's quite a lot in just one night."
"I know right?? It makes me feel like it was planned or something..."
(Louisiana's POV)
After a short nap earlier on, I awoke and the heartache of the whole situation continued to replay in my head, crying, I went to seek out Roseau and found her in the dining room, where the whole bullcrap had happened and I began to cry while she comforted me though I am truly inconsolable.
Few minutes later, I am still sniffling and cleaning up my tears when Justin comes home and into the dining room.
"Hello mother.." Justin says to Roseau and I noticed Roseau's hand, which was earlier moving in fluid motions while patting my back to comfort me, stopped patting me. She is obviously thinking of Justin relation to the whole incident with Julian.
"Louisiana?" He calls out but I do not trust myself enough to even answer him so I keep sniffling while Roseau hands me more tissues from a Kleenex box for my nose.
Choosing not to address the elephant in the room, Roseau carefully diverts the topic to Justin himself..
"How about you tell me how come you stayed out the entire night without anyone's knowledge?"
After some minutes of disbelief on Roseau's part on the news that Justin was stranded... Justin explains what happened to him and why he stayed out.
"Well, I was stuck at work and on my way back with Zara, the tires deflated while I was in motion. I tried to seek out a repairer's ship nearby, but incidentally, the rain began, so I had to get into the car, to avoid unpleasant incidents.
Again, I said to put a call through to the house to get picked up or something, but unfortunately, my network had been cut off suddenly. I was unable me to make any calls. I had to spend the night in the car through a storm but here I am, fine. I'm okay mom."
Why do I suddenly have a nagging feeling that Julian orchestrated this whole thing too? If so, Julian is so fucking smart, evilly so. His intelligence is prominent among the many reasons why I love him, and fvck, are you kidding me?!
He went all in for this whole shit, he went fucking all in, my tears are blurring my vision again and there's a pounding headache coming in.
"That's quite a lot in just one night."
"I know right?? It makes me feel like it was planned or something..."
I hear Justin and Roseau conclude and when Justin sighs deeply, he seems to have forgotten the spectacle of me crying when he first came in and the suddenly awkward situation at that time.
So when he says to Roseau..
"Yeah mom, I need to get some comfortable sleep in, I am exhausted.. I'll talk to you later, mom."
I am suddenly angry all over again..he gets to have a nice rest? He actually gets to have a nice rest at my expense, blissful in his ignorance?
(Steve's POV)
Just as I seek out Roseau, she's not in her room, so I seek her out to the other places I know that she can be. I check her out at the room where she put Lou to sleep and she's not there. The only other option is the dining room; so I head there.
Just as I walk down the stairs, I see Justin walk in though he does not see me. Holy moly!
I don't want to think of what could happen when Justin finds out what happened with Kylie, Julian and Lou. I am definitely not supporting anyone in this matter, it wouldn't make what has happened any better, I reason, neither should i worsen the case.
Yes! I also can't stand the arguments and shouting that I perceive would happen all over again, I've seen what happened the first time against my wish, I don't want to see it happen all over again.
So I just walk back to my room, forgoing my search for Roseau. I would rather not take part.
(Justin's POV)
Just as I make to finally walk away into my idea of bliss and comfort, I hear Louisiana mumble something. It is then that i remember that oh, I forgot to ask what had happened to her and why she was crying?
"Hey Lou, I don't get it. Why are you crying and sniffling? Are you fine?? You sure as hell don't look fine though."
She stares at me for a second and just when I think that she's not going to say anything, I look to my mom and she has that hesitant look on her face again. It seems like she's really conflicted about coming out with whatever is going on.
"..fvcked Kylie."
I hear Louisiana say this time. I don't hear the first part of the sentence but when I hear the word 'fvck' in line with Kylie's name, my ears are immediately pricked up.
"What did you say?" I demand from Louisiana and this time she yells loudly..
"JULIAN FUCKED KYLIE WHILE EVERYONE WAS OUT..!"
Wait what? Did she just say?
