Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Constance's point of view:
Our public appearance as a married couple went well but since then, the internet has been on fire. I couldn't even hold my laughter when I saw some comments and posts.
I just can't believe some women, they are wailing because their favorite artist has gotten married. Every one of his fans wants him, who will he marry from his female fans and leave the other?
Being a celebrity is not easy but if every celebrity should be like my husband who do not care about people's comment about any decisions he takes, I'm sure there will be low suicide rate and many celebrities will live a happy life. Some won't have to stay all their life trying to please their fans and neglect their own life and happiness.
Yeah, there were nasty comments about my husband marrying a non-classical girl… many comments that I did not even pay attention to. If I pay even a second attention to them, I might be dwelling in the ocean of depression right now.
In fact, that night. My husband and I made out. We confess our love to each other over and over again. My husband believes that his fans do not have the right to control his life. That's his life, he owns it and can do anything with it. If any of his fans don't like his decision and decide to hate him for that, well, they can go ahead…. It only means that he or she never loved him from the beginning.
Grandfather was so proud of what we did. Grandfather was so happy, I could see it. What my husband and I did two days ago was what he had always wanted from us. He wants us to be together, accept our love and proclaim it to the world. Hannah was happy for me too and Jocelyn didn't forget to call me that night. She was so happy and we chatted for more than an hour.
Just yesterday, I had dinner at her house. It was so fun, her mother and brother were trying to treat me with more respect than before but I asked them not to. I'm not a goddess, I'm just Jace's wife.
They said Jace is their idol and learning about my marriage with him was so shocking to them and hence made them not to know the exact way to treat me. I told them to treat me just like the first day they met me…. I prefer the treatment they gave me that day than this.
It was after the public appearance that I fully understood whom I was married to. I'm now seen like a celebrity, I had tons of interviews. It was even my husband that said it was enough. My husband is a celebrity that most people in the country worship and I knew that my life was bound to change the moment I made a public appearance with my husband. I knew that every step of mine will be watched now, I can't live my life without people trying to pry their nose into it, in a short word. I can't live a private life.
But just as my husband, I wouldn't care. I'm happy, he's here to take care of me and guide me.
Last night before my husband came back from work. I sat on the stool as I stared at the vanity mirror. I still couldn't believe that my husband had made our marriage public. He has confessed his love for me countless times and also does it publicly.
I couldn't help but cry last night. No one will understand my feelings except the person that has fallen in love and was loved in return by the person he or she fell in love with. There's no joy in loving and you will be loved too.
And my happiness was more vivid knowing that my husband has been in love with me since the very day we got married. He couldn't accept his love for me but now I'm glad he did.
We promised to stay by each other's side till eternity, no matter what.
Today, I'm so nervous to go to school. The weekend holiday is over and today being Monday, I don't even know how to face the students. Those crazy students, I wonder what kind of treatment I will get from them now they all know that I'm married to their idol.
In the past, nobody knew of my existence in that school, except Jocelyn, my teachers and a few of my classmates but I know that will be different now. Being an introvert, I wonder how I will handle this new life I'm about to embrace. I don't like being the center of attraction but I know things will be different now. I will become a big center of attraction now and I'm still wondering how I can handle it.
As usual, my husband drove me to school. I'm sure he saw how nervous I was, so he gently touched my hand and kissed the back of my palm.
“Baby, you don't need to be nervous," He said mildly, giving me that bright and beautiful smile that could melt an icy heart.
I smiled back, though it didn't reach my eyes because I'm still nervous. The way he calls me baby is soothing, though I was nervous, I didn't hide how I blushed. I wonder when I will get used to it.
“I love you," he said.
“I love you too."
He gently kissed my lips. Now I'm used to it, I'm used to him kissing me always and funny enough, I never had enough of it and I do not think I will ever have enough of it.
I stepped out of the car and started striding towards my class. As I expected, the eyes of every student around me were on me. I knew this was coming but I seem not to be ready for it.
Gosh! I will never be ready for it. In the past in this school, nobody cared if someone like me existed but now…. Everyone is staring at me, it feels so awkward.
“Constance!" I heard Jocelyn's voice and I was relieved. I actually need someone to walk beside me right now, at least it will hide me from those from my left or my right depending on which side Jocelyn chose to stand.
She hugged me and held my hand as we started striding towards the classroom. Jocelyn didn't care about the stares from the students but I did. Having Jocelyn by my side right now is better than when I was the one walking all by myself. I feel a bit confident now, and it looks like I'm slowly not caring about the stares.
Before we could reach our class, many students ran towards us. Some were taking pictures of me while others were trying to get my autograph. There are those who want me to get my husband's autograph for them.
“Hi Constance, my name is Nina. You are so beautiful Constance, can we be friends." A beautiful black girl said shyly, she couldn't even look me in the eyes.
Friends? This is ludicrous. No one wanted to be my friend in the past but now, not only this black girl but many others want to be my friend.
This is becoming suffocating, these students are not giving me the space to breathe. I wonder if I will make it to the class early to have my morning lectures. Jocelyn was trying her best to disperse them but she couldn't. The students are just so stubborn. Some of them are giving me a hateful gaze while some want to be friends with me. Of course, I know the reason they want to be friends with me. If I am not the wife of their favorite celebrity, they won't even try to approach me, talkmore of wanting to be friends with me.
I know that such friendship won't favor me. It will only favor them. They want to be friends with me because they want to benefit from me.
Luckily, before those students could suffocate me to death. Three men on black suits came out of nowhere and chased them away from me.
“Ma'am, we were sent by your husband. He said that we should take care of you. We are your bodyguard," one of them said after the students left, though some of them were still lurking at a corner, taking pictures of me.
I smile. Thank goodness. It looks like my husband sensed what I was going through and sent these bodyguards.
“Your husband is the Best!" Jocelyn giggles. I chuckled.
We both walked to our class with the bodyguards trailing closely behind us. I was glad, the students were no longer jumping on me like psychos.
When we arrived at the class, the students in my class were also like the students outside my class but thankfully, my bodyguards were there.
I asked them to stay outside the classroom, so they could watch over me through the window. They listened and left the class. When they were outside, that was when some students even got the courage to walk up to me.
“Hi Constance." I looked up to see the smiling Sacha.
What! Sacha smiled at me. Unbelievable!
All these are becoming funny, everyone is now acting friendly towards me.
“I brought this cupcake for you. My mother is a good baker, she made this for you," she added as she presented the cup cake to me.
I'm still finding this surreal. I thought that Sacha would be one of those that would hate me because I'm married to her idol, the man she's crazy about. But what if her intention of being friends with me is fake? Even if I trust others, I can't easily trust Sacha. In the past, others never cared about my existence but Sacha is that one person that cares about my existence but only to make it hard for me to exist. She never loved me and she didn't hide it.
Jocelyn collects the cup cake from Sacha. The latter glared at her but Jocelyn cared less.
“Sorry Sacha but my friend doesn't eat cheap things," Jocelyn blurts out sarcastically and throws the cup cake towards Sacha. Sacha's face reddened in anger.
“Fuck you both!" Sacha snapped and walked away.
I know she was faking the whole friendliness act. It wasn't even hard for Jocelyn to make her bring out her real self.
Now, I wonder how the rest of the day in school is.
