ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Kathy POV

I spent the rest of the day in my room finalizing my plan, I had it all planned out and have called Louis my boyfriend and we agreed to meet up by five pm, I already made sure I got up to eight million checks signed, I smiled mischievously to myself, my parent think they are smart but I am smarter, a knock came on my four and I quickly put the checks and pen away before telling whoever it is to come in, it was the maid.

“Ma, your mom said to tell you to come down and greet your visitors,”

“What visitor?” I wasn’t expecting anyone so I wondered who it was but she didn’t have any idea either by the way she panicked and shook her head.

“Don’t worry, go I will be there in a few minutes,”

I told her getting up from my bed I didn’t know her name cuz they were much too many to master a name or sometimes a face except the ones that have been here long, like Zee the head maid. I checked to see if my hair was in place and my face in order and exited my room. I could hear voices coming from the visitor area as I walked the distance there, I didn’t bother knocking and just opened the door, I looked at saw my dad, mom, and also Max’s parents, it dawn on me then that this shit was real, that my parents were trying to marry me off to Cross, I already concluded that I will play along until I can effectively pull my plans out, I looked around but there was no sign if Cross or Max, so I stepped into the room not forgetting my manners I greeted the elders respectfully.

Max’s mom, Ellen came over and hugged me I returned the gesture, she is a nice lady, I know that cuz one time my mom had tried to ship me off to college in another country she had been the one to tell her out of it, I am still grateful for that but that doesn’t mean I am gonna marry her son if her son had a little quality that my boyfriend had maybe I would have considered it.

“Katherine you have grown so well since the last time we meant, I am glad you are the one coming into my family,” she said with excitement when she stopped hugging me, I forced a smile and walked with her to where the others were seated.

“You are welcome to the family Katherine,” my supposed future father-in-law said with a smile, I smiled back though I felt nothing like smiling. “your husband to be couldn’t make it today because he had business to take care of but you guys will meet at the engagement party next week,” he added and I turned to face my parent, I am getting engaged next week and I just got the info today?

“Mom the engagement is next week?” I asked in a rather too loud voice but I was way beyond caring, so the reason they told me is that it is so close, now I have less time to carry out my plan, what kind of shitty stuff have my parents been doing with my life? I just wanted to scream and tell all of them that I ain’t marrying anyone and that they should all go to hell.

“Katherine dear, yes the engagement is a week after this that’s in ten days, we didn’t bother you tell you it close because we didn’t want to bother you with the process all you need to do on that day is get dressed and meet your future husband,” my mom said sweetly and I wanted to throw up, but I just nodded my head, I have to play along if my plan is gonna be effective.

“Though I am shocked due to the shortness of the notice, I am well aware of your good intentions, and my brother has made me see reasons, so whatever you decide I will gladly comply,” I said injecting much sincerity so that they will believe me and they seemed to buy it because they were are smiling brightly.

“That’s good to know,”

My dad said. I stood up and smiled before gracefully excusing myself.

“If you will excuse me I am meeting with my best friend and she is waiting for me, I will like to go now,” I asked politely

“Yeah sure you can go they chorused and I smiled sweetly at them and excited the room, when I got to the door, I closed it and gave a middle finger before dashing off to my room to get the checks, my bag, and my car keys. I dialed my boyfriend’s number immediately entered the car and told him I am coming over.

“Louis, I am here,” I announced when I entered my boyfriend’s house but he was nowhere to be seen, “Louis!” I called again moving around to check the bedroom.

“Hi, Kathy, didn’t know you were coming over,”

Louis’s cousin who has been living with him for over three months said as she walked out of the bedroom, she is a pretty woman who is a bit older than me but we were the same height and almost have the same body type but I am a little bit curvier.

“Pearl, Hi, I told Louis I am coming over, where is he?”

I didn’t quite roll with Pearl but since she is my boyfriend’s cousin I just have to accommodate her.

“He is in the shower, if you will excuse me I was about living the house,”

She said and waved off as she left. I walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed, I would love to join him in the shower but Louis is a private person and hates it when people invade his privacy, I understood him, and love him.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Hi, Baby,”

He said walking out of the bathroom, he looked hot with only a bath towel around his waist, his broad shoulder in full display. My man is hot and I know it, I stood up and went over to him and he showered me with kisses that I almost forgot why I was here in the first place.

“Louis, we have to talk,” I mused in between kisses.

“What’s it about babe, can’t it wait? I want you,”

He hummed into my ears and bit it slightly, he rubbed his hard groin on me and I almost gave in but the thought of what we had to talk about brought me back to my senses.

“Not now, Louis, we have an important discussion,”

I replied pushing him off.

“What can be more important than us making love babe?”

“My parents are gonna marry me off,”

I announced making him shut up.

“What did you say?”

He asked.

“I said, my parents are gonna marry me off, they already planned it, I just found out this morning, by next week, in approximately ten days I will be someone else’s fiancee,”

I disclosed.

“What? They can’t do that, you are mine, it not like we are still in the stone age, arranged marriage is no longer a thing,”

“It is in my family, I told you, my two sisters got married to men my family found for them, my brother is about to marry a lady my family picked for him, I told you are this before remember?”

I said getting worked up thinking about it again.

“So now it is your turn? I don’t get it can’t you say no? Doesn’t your family know about me?”

“They do babe, they do, but they have never met you, this is why I wanted you to meet them but you always say no,”

I accused. I have begged him a lot of times to meet my family but he always comes up with one excuse or the other.

“Yes, because I wasn’t ready to meet them, whet will I possibly tell them? My business is not doing so well yet and I have not much to write to my name, how am I going to tell them if they ask me those things and you and I both know they will ask so forgive me for not meeting your parents,”

He said I could already feel his anger in his every word, I didn’t want us to end up fighting that will not be good for us, me especially.

“I am sorry if what I said offended you, lets get to why I am here, please don’t be angry at me,”

I said in an apological voice.

“It’s an okay baby girl I can’t be mad at you, now let’s get to business, what do you want me to do? I can go to your parents now if you want,”

“No, not that, I can handle my parents I just need your help in another area,”

I said sitting down and gesturing for him to do so it. “Okay, I will go straight to the point,”

“I am listening,”

“So the thing is I don’t wanna get married,”

“You can’t do that except you are marrying me,”

He said disrupting me, I smiled at his words.

“That’s so sweet Louis, and yes you are the only man I ever want to marry,”

“Good, now continue,”

He replied.

“Yes, so I came up with a nice idea, we just have one week to implement it, I have a total of ten million USD to my name and I have written out checks of eight million and with your help, I can gradually transfer it to your name like I said we have one week to do this, I will play along with my parents and before the engagement day or on the engagement day I will take off, by then you will already be at the airport waiting for me and we can leave the country together, eight million is enough for us to start a new life somewhere else and since your business is still not that big you can easily give it up,”

I explained and paused to get his reaction to what I just revealed but his expression was blank.

“Hey, say something please,”

He whispered something I didn’t quite get. “What did you say?”

“Nothing, I am just amazed at how intelligent you are, you got this all planned out already and I will happily follow your lead,”

He replied standing up and taking off the towel, his hard groin stared at me and I stared back in hunger, my throat suddenly too dry.

“We can talk about the plans after this, what you just said put me in the mood and I want you now, you are so fucking intelligent and I wanna give you a reward,”

He whispered coming over to where I am and lifting me off the chair and tossed me on the bed where I quickly removed my tops and we were on in each like we have not seen each other for months.

Much later, we both lay in bed satisfied, his hands on my breast, stroking them gently.

“So which country do you think we should go to or should we move to another continent? Maybe Africa or Asia?”

I asked loving his hands-on me.

“I will work that part out and tell you all you need to do is get the money to me,”

“The checks are already here,”

I said and stood up to hand them over to him, “my parent hardly check my spending so before they will know something is up we will already be out of the country,”

I added.

“That’s good to know, he replied collecting the checks and checking them before dropping them in the locker beside the bed, he pulled me closer and kissed me deeply and I melted into his touch, he is one good lover and knew all my sensitive spot, I always enjoy our lovemaking and maybe that’s why I am hooked to him, I just couldn’t picture myself in bed with another man. We made love again before I left, when I got home I went straight into my room and slept like a baby knowing all my plans are in place.
