The Billionaire Playboy's Bride

Chapter 7: Negotiation!

Evelyn's POV

"Katherine.... your dad and I are serious. What happened? You were very much in love with him" my mom said teasingly, on phone!

Shit! I'm letting them on my secret. They cannot know that it was all just an act. I don't know why Nick is continuing with this drama but I have to. Because I can't let Rose and Peter insult me. I have never managed to get a guy for myself. Ever.

"Katherine!" I heard my evil Mom scream again. "Why do you not want to marry Nick? He's such a sweetheart. I wish he was in love with my dear Rosie. She wouldn't embarass us like you-" that's it! I cut the call and threw it in the floor. Thankfully it didn't break.

I stood there alone in my living room about how I'd stop this marriage from happening. There's nothing I don't like about Nick. He's hot. He's rich. I know how much ever he may torture me, he will never hurt me and he'll never insult me. I already trust him enough that he'd not even spare a glance at any other girl if I'm not there. He'll not cheat on me. He'll keep me happy. Oh and I just know he's going to keep me sexually satisfied.
There's no single reason for me to reject except that he keeps annoying me all the time. That's cause I.... no.. WE haven't even tried to come out of our past and move on. I haven't forgiven him for all those years back and he hasn't forgiven me cause I entered his life again with a lie.

Suddenly the phone I threw on the floor started ringing scaring me to death. And that ringtone was of a devil screaming. Oh I know who that is. I even saved his name as "Mr. Arrogant". Whaaat? It kinda sounds sexy.

"Hello Mr.Arro....- uhm. Yes" I said stiffling my laugh.

"Hello to you too sweetcheeks. But I just got a call from your mom saying you don't want to marry me!" He said.

"What? That women is crazy! Listen you just come home. Here to my house. I'll prepare lunch for you and we can have a decent conversation" I said with a sigh and surprisingly he agreed. Without any argument.

I sat in my living room wearing my coat. It's cold here and I'm all alone! After two hours or so I finally heard my doorbell ring. Finally!

"It's four!" I said opening the door.

"I know. I have a watch" he said for my annoyance.

"I called you at 2 and I asked you for lunch. I was so hungry. If you couldn't have come on time, you should've at least told me. Call or texted me?" I asked but he kept walking inside my house like he didn't notice me.

"First of all I was having a lunch meeting. And suddenly I get your mother's call saying 'it seems she doesn't want to marry you!" he said trying to be funny in my mom's voice. "I had to drop the meeting and call you. You said I could come over for lunch. Fine I agreed. But again I thought I could at least take you two hours get your lunch ready. I had half an hour of my meeting left and the other one and a half hour? Even I was sitting alone. Hungry! Happy?" He said.

"Okay... you could have called me. If I was ready or I needed some more time or anything..." I trailed off not finding any meaning in what I said.

"You could have called as well right? You could've called and told me come soon or anything..." he said ending like me. We were arguing right? I was the only one screaming and he was as calm as fuck.

"Stop being such a drama queen. Come let's have lunch." I said and brought him to the dining area.
Huh! My cute little table for four. It's not that bad.

"That's a hamburger." He stated raising his eyebrows at me.

"It is..." I said and he was having a funny frown on his face.
"What? I called you at 2 and I thought preparing lunch would take a whole lot of time. Since I'm very slow in the cooking department. So I ordered" I said and batting my eyelashes at him like an angel. He just smiled at me and took his Hamburger and left to sit in the living room.
