*CADEN*
“Good evening, Caden.” Ellie said as she walked in.
I grinned.”Do you need sothing?”
“I was bored and wondering if you’d like to hang out.” She said as she moved closer to my desk.
I glanced at the wall cock.”It’s late. Shouldn’t you be in bed or sothing?”
She suddenly looked offended. “I’m not a freaking child that has a curfew or sothing.”
I laughed.”Sorry.”
“I’m twenty-one now.” She inford .
“Well, then I’m sorry, Miss Adult.”
She laughed.”Yeah, I’m an adult, a full grown adult.” She insisted.
I nodded.”But adults do need to sleep too.”
“Why aren’t you asleep?” She asked .
“I got so work to do.”
“I know you’re an hard worker but you should also know when to rest. To be honest, I was quite surprised to read about you on the news. Your success is a huge inspiration to many, including .”
I stared at her, touched by the complint.
“Thank you. And while I do want to obtain greater heights, I do take so rest from ti to ti. Take so rest, and also have fun, especially on my honeymoon.”
I suddenly thought about those monts in Santorini.
Watching the sunset with Alora had been priceless.
“Your marriage ca as a shocking news though. I didn’t think your type was a top actress.” Ellie let out.
“I actually t her in college. We dated briefly, I screwed things up and now; here we are.”I said with a sigh.
Ellie walked over to the shelve.
“Alora seems like a sweet person. I am a huge fan of hers and I never knew I’d get to et her in person. It might’ve been a short ti since I’ve been back, but I really like hanging out with her.” Ellie said.
“Yeah, she’s very sweet.” I agreed.
I vaguely thought about how bothered Alora was about Ellie, it seems they were getting along now.
Ellie turned to face .
“She told sothing different though. While you’re speaking as if your marriage to her is real, she told the opposite. She said she was only temporarily married to you. She told about a deal that you two had or sothing. Now I’m confused, are you two not really married?”
Those words instantly weakened my spirit.
Alora told Ellie we weren’t truly married?
Even if that was a fact, I thought I was gradually changing her mind.
It seems she still saw this as a temporary arrangent.
Sighing, I admitted.”Yeah, we’re not truly married. We’re only to stay married, maybe for a month or two.”
I stared at the files on my table with a heavy heart. But then an idea struck .
Ellie was a woman now. Perhaps, she could give so tips.
I looked up at her to find her smiling.
“What’s funny?”
She quickly shook her head. “What do you an?”
“You were smiling?”
“I...I just thought about sothing...a book I was reading...”
“Well, I need you to be serious right now. Although Alora and I agreed to only be temporarily married but that’s not what I want. I do not ever want to divorce her. Hell, I’ve been yearning to be in her presence for so many years. I...I love her.”
“Why...why are you telling this?” Ellie asked, so quietly that I had to strained to hear.
“I was wondering if you had any tips. Since you’re close to her now, maybe you could put in so good words for and you know, tell her about how I’d make a perfect husband. I really want her to be completely mine. I’d do anything to make her mine. Or should I just go up to her when she cos ho and tell her how I feel...”
“No!” She cut in, sharply. “You absolutely cannot do that.”
“Why?”
“Think about it, at the mont, she currently feels nothing for you, all she wants is for this marriage to end. In fact, she is looking for an excuse to end it so if you tell her your feelings for her, she’ll imdiately find you burdenso and would want to end this marriage, imdiately.”
My heart fell.”You think so?”
“I know so. You have to wait. Telling her about your feelings now would jeopardize your chances with her.”
“So what do you suggest?”
“I think you need to take things slow.”
I exhaled.”I feel like I’ve taken things slow enough.”
“And that is why you need to have more patience even now, if not, all your efforts would be in vain and you’d end up heartbroken and without her. What I suggest is that, for now, do not make it too obvious that you love her until you’re sure of her feelings for you. Do not be available for her every ti she needs you. If you do it that way, she’d start missing your presence. Then , on the other hand, each ti I hang out with her, I’m going to always talk about you and how you two look so good together and how you’ll be a great husband to her and great father to your unborn kids.”
Well, that sounded like it could work.
“You really think this could work?”
“Trust , so people called the matchmaker in college.”
“Then I’m counting on you.”
“Let’s take a selfie to seal the start of this matchmaking process.” She let out, excitedly.
I smiled and briefly posed for her cara.
“Oh, I’m going to have so much fun getting you two to beco a real couple. I can’t wait.” Ellie cheered.
I couldn’t wait as well.
