Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

I would like to take you on a date. Do you think you can come with me?” He asked, ignoring what I said.

“Sean, please do not do this.” I said, huffing tiredly.

“I will give you all the answers you want. Please say yes,” he again requested.

I looked back at him and thought, One date will not harm. So, the person who stole my first kiss will be my first date as well.

I smile, thinking.

“Ok!” I said, nodding my head.

Giving a bright smile, he said, “Be ready by 5 p. m.” He said he was tightening his hold on me, pressing me more to him as if there was space left in between.

“Do you think five o’clock is too early for a date?” I asked, knitting my eyebrows.

“Well, not really. Just be ready on time; that is it.” He said he was getting a little excited, like a child.

I giggle, looking at him, and nod in agreement again.

“Ok, now I must go to the office. I have a few important meetings to attend. See you in the evening, love,” he said, kissing near my lips and leaving the room. I stood there dumbfounded, looking at his retiring figure.

This man is unpredictable. I thought, shaking my head.

After I took my laptop, I thought to finish some work, and I sat on the couch, and someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” I said without looking up.

I felt some sitting beside me, and I looked back and saw Nathan and Sam looking at me apologetically.

Ignoring them, I again went back to my work as if they were not present in the room.

“Sarah, hear me out first.” Sam spoke pleadingly.

“You have all your ears.” I said, still with my fingers working on the keypad.

Taking my laptop from my hand, Nathan spoke, “Sarah, I know you are hurt, but trust me, that is the last thing we want to do in our lives.” He spoke, looking guilty.

It is not like we want to hide anything from you, but it happened so fast that we could not get time to inform you.” Sam spoke, still looking at her palms.

I was just looking at them, keeping my hands on my knees, and listening to their explanation. I know they will never hurt me intentionally, but they still should not hide things.

“So since how long is this going on behind my back?” I asked, raising my one brow.

“Well, you always knew I had feelings for her, but she never reciprocated, but finally she agreed. Day before.” Nathan replied, smirking at Sam, and she became crimson red upon hearing him.

“I never knew you could blush, Sam?” I teased her little looking at her pink cheeks.

“Oh, you do not know what else she can do?” Nathan spoke, looking at her and biting his inner cheeks.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

‘Aww, they both are too cute.’ I thought.

Ignoring Nathan’s comment, she looked at him and said, “Can you please forgive us?” Getting up from her place, she sat beside me, holding my hand.

I was never mad at you guys. I was just hurt. You know I have wanted you two to be together for a long time, and when you hide this from me, I just get hurt.” I said, pouting at both of them. They are my best friends, and I cannot stay angry at them for a longer period of time.

Sorry, it will not happen again.” Sam spoke, smiling.

“Are we good now?” Nathan said, and I nodded in agreement.

Now tell us what is going on here. Sean’s parents’ behavior is all shocking for us,” Nathan said, a little annoyed.

Shrugging my shoulders, I said, “I do not know.” He said he would tell me on our date.”

“Come again?” Sam asks, as if she heard something wrong.

“Yeah, I am going on a date with him tomorrow.” I said, nodding my head in yes.

“But why?” Nathan asked again, irritated.

“Nathan, I want to hear his side of the story, too. I do not know why he is doing this. I thought he wanted divorce, but he asked me otherwise. I want to know the facts.” I said it firmly.

“Yes, you should hear out his story too.” Sam spoke insultingly.

I smile at him and nod.

“When are you guys going on a date?” Nathan asked.

“Today!” I said, looking at my watch.

“Oh, my god, then get ready. What are you doing?” Sam said, getting up in a hurry.

It was still so many hours ago, Sam. What is wrong with you?” I said, Look at her, surprisingly.

Nathan was controlling his laugh.

“Shut up; you know nothing. Let us check what you are going to wear,” she said, going inside my walking closet. and me and Nathan laugh at her.

“Ok, you girls carry on. I must make some important calls. See you later.” Saying, he got up.

“Alright!” I said that and got up too.

“Sarah always remembers that you have a brother who is always there for you. And you can come to me for anything and everything.” He said this, halting his movement, and spoke.

“I know Nathan. Thank you!” I said, smiling.

Nodding to me, he left the room, and I went inside to check on Sam.

The moment I saw her, she turned my whole closet upside down.

“Oh, my god, Sam. Look what mess you have made.” I said, picking up my dressing from the floor.

Ignoring my rent, she kept on throwing all the dresses on me, and finally she stopped at a white dress with purple work on it. From inside, it is a one-line body-fitted dress, but it has a cover-up from the skirt side. The pockets on the dress make it even more beautiful.

Finally, she chooses the nude pumps, pairing them with drop-diamond earrings.

Well, I must say her choice of dressing is fantastic as always.

Finally agreeing with her choice, I kept everything aside and told her to go. I will get ready on time.

Time has flown by, and it is now four o’clock. Closing my laptop, I took a shower and got ready.

I was already in my light makeup by 4. 45.

I opened the door, heard the knock, and saw Mr. Hudson standing, holding a book, wearing a casual jacket and jeans.

This man always surprises me with his looks. I mean, how can some people look so hot in anything? I should be in crime. I thought.

“If you are done checking me out, we can leave Mrs. Hudson,” he said, kissing me on the cheeks.

“By the way, you are looking ravishing.” He says, looking into my eyes, forwarding the flowers to me. I became crimson-red, getting counted red-handed.

Nodding I mummer “Thank you for also not looking bad yourself. It is beautiful,” I said, glancing at the beautiful flowers.

“Wait,” I said, putting the vase in my room. Now let us go,” I said, taking my clutch in my hand.

We came out of the house, and there was a silk blue Lamborghini waiting for us with outrage. I rolled my eyes, looking at all the surrounding bodyguards.

“So, they are also coming on our date?” I asked sarcastically.

Chuckling, he said, “No, they are not. I only need them for you when I am not around. But when I am there, I do not need any security; I am capable of protecting you.”

It feels like someone has sucked air from my body. No one has said something like this before. No one wants to protect me, ever.

Hey, are you okay?” I heard Sean’s voice.

Nodding, I look down. He opens the gate of the passenger seat, and I settle myself as soon as possible without looking back.

Let’s see how it feels on a date.
