MARRIED TO MR RIGHT (MMR)
Episode 7
 
***FAST FORWARD***
Later in the evening Brian came back from work. I didn’t go out to meet him because I didn’t want things to spiral out of control.
I heard a, knock on my door
“Ciara come out. I want to talk to you”
it was Brian. what does he want?
“is everything OK” I ask
“just come on out Ciara. I need to talk to you”
I quickly pulled the door knob and walked outside to meet him. I followed him to the living room.
he ran his hands through his hair
“What’s going on”
“Mom and dad invited us to dinner so I want you to come with me?” he says and yesterday’s incident flashed through my eyes
“Again?”
“I don’t want to go but I have no choice.” he tells me
“I don’t want to go. after getting drunk at the party yesterday, we’re going for another one today?” I said giving him a quizzical look
“It’s at their house and we can’t turn them down. it’ll be disrespectful”
“it’s not like I care. I don’t wanna go before I get winded up in another bottle so take Janelle” I say rolling my eyes
“For the last time Ciara. mom and dad doesn’t know about Janelle and I intend to keep it that way” he half yells
“Don’t shout at me alright” I say “Alright I’ll go but just this once. and after that, it’s over for any other parties okay” I say and he nods.
He agreed to it? definitely not the Brian I know.
“um I bought you this” he says handing me a gown and a pair of heels “You actually threw the other one away” he adds
“Oh. This is quite expensive” I say looking at the tag
“Mom loves designers so she’d expect you to look good” he tells me.
“great” I say
“Now get dressed” he says before walking away.
.
I sigh and proceeded to my bedroom to get dressed.
I wore my clothes, applied my makeup and wore my shoes.
When I was done, I joined Brian in the living room and we walked down to the garage.
He opened the car for me and sat down to take the wheel.
“Now when we get there, do not try to take alcohol got it?” he said when we were perfectly seated
“Whatever”
He started the engines and pulled out of the building.
All through the drive, I was feeling nervous. I mean I’ve not met his mom and dad ever since our wedding and I haven’t talked to them in person so what if they act funny or something. I swear I hate this marriage.
Brian noticed cause he saw me shifting uncomfortably on my seat.
“If you really want to get mom talking then, make every conversation about kids and clothes. Dad should be about how rich he is” he tells me. eyes on the road
“You do know them pretty well but what happened between you guys”
“They didn’t care. Please don’t get me to talk about myself Ciara. I’m not in the mood” he says
“OK” I say
.
We arrived at his parents house which was a huge mansion. He stepped out and opened the door for me.
“We have to act like an ideal couple in front of them alright” be tells me as we walked to the front porch.
“We’re we really an ideal couple before?” I roll my eyes
“Just for one night”
“No k-ssing or touching. that’s my rule. keep your hands and l-ips to yourself” I say with a serious face
“Alright” he says before pushing the doorbell.
we heard footsteps from in,side before the door finally flew open.
“Brian you’re here” a lady who I assumed was his mom said. she pulled him for an embrace but he didn’t reciprocate.
“Hi mom”
“I guess this is your wife” She said touching my cheeks. she seems nice.
“mom meet Ciara and Ciara that’s Aubrey my mom” he introduced us.
“She’s beautiful” she compliment and I blushed
“Honey Brian is home” she yells
“Brian my boy” he said from the stairs before rushing down.
“Hello Dad”
“How is work?”
“Good.” he reply with no sense of happiness in his words
“I love your dress” His mom tells me “What brand of collection is this” she asks
“Um… I… ” I stuttered not really knowing what to say
“I bought it.” he said
“You know quality like your mom” she tells Brian. “come Ciara. let’s leave the men together and serve dinner. it’ll give me a chance to know the real you”
The real me?
I’m busted. what if she finds out about our marriage? did Brian already tell her?
I looked at Brian and he slowly nods his head so I followed her. we walked to their kitchen.
it was huge.
“So Ciara hope you and Brian are kicking off pretty well” she asks and I nod.
“Is he a good guy? do you like him?”
Like him? Gosh he’s worse than the devil.
“He’s alright. I mean we just got married so I can’t really say” I tell her.
“He didn’t court you?” she gave a quizzical look
What did Brian tell his parents about me?
“Um… he did. We got married after that”
“So how are your parents?”
“They’re fine” I lied. I just missed them.
“Great so Brian says you’re a good cook. I hope one day we can make something together. how about that?” she asks giving a bright smile
“that would be lovely” I say.
Brian is so gonna get it from me later
we served dinner and everyone gathered at the table.
we discussed about issues ranging from different topics. Brian’s parents are nice so I wonder why they don’t get along.
Everything went well until Brian’s mom dropped the bomb.
“So when are you guys going to have kids”
I nearly choked on my food.
“K-Kids” I ask again
“We’re not getting any younger. I want to see my grandkids.”
Brian glanced at me but I threw my eyes away.
I won’t even dare let him touch me.
“we’re working on it” he said
Working? is he mad? maybe he meant Janelle.
“I know. you would never disappoint us. we’re so proud of you”
“He really takes after me” his dad said and they all giggled
“so your dad and I have been thinking that its about time you take Ciara to your honeymoon” she blurts out
Honeymoon? what is going on here?
“I don’t really have time cause I’m usually busy”
“We know. so we’re going to handle the company together and you could spend some time with Ciara. alone” his dad said
I don’t understand what’s happening.
I gave Brian a kick telling him to stop their plans.
“Mom we don’t really think it’s time… ”
“nonsense. it’s time alright. maybe you could go to a country side or Hawaii.” she suggests
“But mom dad”
“please” she begs. he looked at me and I tried to nod no
“Alright mom”
I’m ruined, I’m doomed.
“I need to use the bathroom” I say and stood up
“it’s over there. Brian take her there”
“Yes Brian please take me there” I say and he stood up and followed me.
“You are really something else” I say immediately we got there
“Shhh calm down”
“Calm down? a honeymoon seriously? you really wanna be stuck with me in a f—–g honeymoon? if you do then I don’t alright” I say
“We’ll think of something”
“We you better cause I don’t want to go or maybe I’ll tell Janelle to go with you. that way it’ll be easier”
“shut up Ciara. I don’t want to go too okay but I’m willing to do anything for my parents” he tells me
“Anything? including a honeymoon? Well you just ruined my night and trust me I’m gonna ruin yours too” I say before walking out
“F–k” he cursed under his breath
“Don’t try anything stupid Ciara” he warns
“well I can’t be the only one who suffers this night” I say
“You think you can upset me” he asks
“Tell that to the bottle of wine I’m gonna take tonight” I say grabbing a bottle from the bar.
His parents didn’t notice cause they were backing us and a soft music was playing in the background.
“Ciara stop this madness” he whispers to me
I opened it and tried pouring into my mouth but he grabbed it and pulled me by my wa-ist close to him.
“You think you’re the only one who can upset me?” he ask hands gripping my wa-ist tight “what did you say tonight? no k-ssing, let’s do it then” he says bringing his l-ips closer to mine.
“Brian don’t do it.. Stop.. ” I say and he forcefully pressed his l-ips on mine k-ssing me.
I tried pushing him away but I couldn’t so I gave up the struggle and k-ssed him back..
 
we pulled away from the k-ss and that’s when I realized what I was doing.
I k-ssed Brian again?
what is wrong with me? why couldn’t I resist?
But d–n I guess I kinda liked it. I put my clothes in order. I couldn’t even look at him.
We were both avoiding eye contact.
I sighed and wiped my l-ips with my hands.
He adjusted his tie and tried to walk away.
“Where do you think you’re going?” I ask, feeling a lot irritated by what happened
“To finish dinner. that’s what we came here for, right?” he asked, sarcasm down his throat.
He just k-ssed me and pretended as if nothing happened.
I mean I wasn’t expecting to act like something happened but still
“You just k-ssed me Brian, forcefully” I said pointing at him
“And what part of it didn’t you enjoy?” he asked feeling a bit amused. I know he was mocking me.
“Enjoy? seriously? are you for real” I asked him but he laughed it off
Am I for real? I mentally slapped myself.
you were not at fault Ciara. You didn’t k-ss him, he did.
“I mean normally, you would yell or hit me but you didn’t. so who’s to blame” he asked folding his arms across his chest.
“and besides, I only did that to prove a, point. you can’t get me upset without my permission” he said and winked at me.
I felt like strangling the life out of him. he’s an a—–e and a big one at that.
He turned around and tried walking away again.
“Curse you Brian. curse you and everything that has, to do with you” I yelled at out loud but he didn’t seem affected, he just turned around and started walking up to me. I tried moving back till I hit the wall. he pulled his face down to mine as if he was gonna k-ss me again.
“Curse everything that has, to do with me? including you right? cause you are literally my wife so curse you too” he smiled and walked away.
“I hate him, I hate him, I hate him so much.” I said to myself and angrily walked out to join the others.
“Are you feeling better now?” his mom asked and he threw me a look before taking another bite into his mouth.
“I’m… I’m fine” I said taking my seat next to Brian.
He dished some salad into my plate, trying to act like an ideal husband which he clearly was not, I gave him a deadly stare but he smiled and winked at me.
“I can manage” I say
“Yes I know that Mrs Salter but let me help” he said and I sneered.
“Awwn, they look so cute together” his mom cooed making me barf.
He pulled close to me and whispered into my ear “don’t forget, we’re acting like a couple tonight so don’t try something silly” he tells me and takes a forkful of salad, placing it on my lip.
“I’m not eating that.” I said in almost a whisper.
“eat or I’ll k-ss you again in front of mom and dad” he tells me and I knew that he meant it.
“You won’t dare” I threatened
“I will cause you actually did that to me last night. you scre-med because I refused to take a f—–g burger off your hand” he said and the wh0le scenario flashed before my eyes making me a wh0le lot embarrassed
“So are you eating or should I k-ss you?” he added
I reluctantly opened my mouth and he put the salad into my mouth.
“now that’s a good girl” he said and I chewed on the salad. I just pray this night ends pretty soon or I’m gonna loose it.
His parents were staring at us as if they were watching a movie.
I gave a fake smile and they returned it with a cheerful one.
“so where would love to go for your honeymoon?” his dad asked us, I didn’t bother to reply so I focused on my food. he agreed to their plans so he should face whatever that comes with it alone.
“I was thinking Hawaii. they have a good beach over there.” His dad suggested
“How about Vegas or LA? if you love sight seeing”
“We’ll think of where we would like to go and tell you all about it,” Brian said picking on his food.
“You have to leave like this week or next. I want you out of here as soon as possible so you both could make kids” she said with pleading eyes
I coughed.
“Please mom. maybe next cause I have to finalize everything work related before I leave. so you won’t have a hærd time running the company when I’m gone” he said and after a while they nodded yes.
“well played” I tell him and he glared at me.
.
We talked about other stuff but Brian’s mom was bent on us having kids, it’s not like you can just stuff them in a, sack and bring them to her. it would’ve been a, lot easier.
She’s one hell of a, kid lover.
Brian was right all along.
After dinner, Brian’s mom served us des**t.
Brian went upstairs to talk to his dad and I was stuck with his mom.
We had a really long conversation which was mostly about Brian, when he was a kid, his favourite meal, blah blah blah. I really didn’t care to know but it’s not like I could tell her so I just nodded and smiled when necessary.
Next she brought a photo album showing their lives even since they got married till the birth of Brian.
“This was the time Brian won the tennis tournament at a country Club back in Hong Kong” she said to me.
“I never knew Brian plays tennis”
“he’s really great at it.”
“Wow. the pictures are amazing” I comment
“Yeah” she said, her smile turning into a frown
“What’s wrong mom?” I ask, a little confused about her sudden mood swing.
“Well I really wish we had a picture of you in the album” she said feeling really down
“it’s really OK mom. I don’t mind” I say but she takes my hand in hers making me face her. I was totally lost. what could be wrong now?
“Ciara” she trailed off looking at me “promise me that you’re going to make a baby with Brian?”
I swallowed hærd.
“But mom.. ”
“I know Brian May not be the perfect husband. he’s my son so believe me I know. But no guy in his right state of mind won’t be happy especially when he has a child to call his. the baby could be the bridge between your marriage. It may bring Brian closer to you and no man won’t be able to love the mother of his child. You should really try to make the most out of your honeymoon. if you wait for Brian to make a move, you’re gonna wait forever. he acts all tough now but he’s really shy” she says and we both giggle.
“Alright Mom. I will try” I lied.
I don’t have any intention to make out with Brian.
Not in his life. or mine, or never mind.
“Thanks Ciara” she said hugging me.
wait until Brian breaks the news about how we got married.
“Can we go now!?” he asked and we pulled away from the hug.
I stood up and they walked us to the door.
“Bye mom. thanks for dinner” I called as he opened the door for me.
“Take care of her”
“will do” he says and hopped in.
he started the engine and we drove home in silence. no one speaking to the other.
.
I opened the door and walked in,side, Brian trailed after me. I was about to pull the door knob when he said
“Ciara we need to talk”
I turned around and saw him standing there, hands akimbo
“whatever about?”
“The honeymoon” he said through gritted teeth
“Oh you mean the honeymoon you totally agreed on?” I ask, sarcasm down my throat.
“Yes and we’re going”
“Geez Brian. I told you before that I don’t want to go on a f—–g honeymoon.”
“If we don’t go, mom and dad will think we played them don’t you see?” he said with a serious face
“no I don’t see cause if we go, you’re actually giving your parents something to believe on. to hold on to” I say and pushed the door open
I looked at him and he looked somewhat confused.
“they’ll think that we love each other and made out so they’ll be expecting kids. and I don’t want to have kids with a guy like you” I say “just tell Janelle. I’m sure she won’t mind”
“you think I’m bad don’t you Ciara” he asked
“yes you are. you don’t know the value of relationsh¡p. you don’t believe in love. you think it’s just a game. you have no desire whatsoever to have a committed relationsh¡p. you love everything in skirts. and do you know the worse part?” I ask walking up to him. “No girl in her right state of mind would ever love you. cause you will never be able to love them back. have you asked yourself the reason why you think your parents don’t love you? well it’s because you don’t deserve it. believe me, you’re wasted” I said. I didn’t know I could say all those things to Brian.
His eyes were bloodshot. red and fierce but I wasn’t scared.
I turned to go but stopped immediately like I’ve forgotten something
“By the way, you’ll only be able to get the likes of Janelle and not me Brian and if you don’t think I’m right then prove me wrong” I said before making my way in,side my room. .
Somehow I don’t know why I’m still stuck in this useless marriage.
And now kids?
Not gonna work. we would go to the honeymoon alright but Brian would have any close contact with me cause I won’t let it happen…
I got on my bed and tried to have a shut eye. I didn’t bother to shower cause I was d–n tired so I just threw the idea away. I didn’t bother about Brian. he’s  not a baby so I’m sure he can handle himself.
I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep…
