I was inside the academic building, walking steadily with heavy thoughts clouding my mind.
After hearing about Margaret's marriage proposal, I told her that I would take some time to think about it and give her an answer later.
Even though there was slight disappointment on her face, Margaret understood that such a heavy decision couldn't be taken lightly.
Still… the pro's that she told of…
The fact that she'll let me bang other women on the side and still be okay with fucking her is enough for me to accept it. Let's not even talk about the matter of not nagging me about anything.
Though all of this was quite a good offer, I can't accept anything until I talk with Abigail. Forget about enjoying women, Abigail might suck me dry if I were to do something like marriage, without at least talking with her.
'I wonder what she will tell me.'
As I was thinking about stuff , I hear someone calling me.
Looking ahead, I saw it was Samantha. She was running towards me with a concerned look.
'Why is she running to me?' I think before realizing it, 'Of course!'
'How could I forget the hot woman that just gave me the crazy offer was none other than Samantha's older sister.'
'With the way, Samantha's been acting towards me. As if a young girl finding love, she would definitely be devastated to know that her older sister snatched that guy up.'
A deformed smile came to me, 'I wonder how she'll react to that.'
"Henry!" She stopped right before me, her face looking like a herd of many complicated emotions.
"Why are you here, Samantha?" I asked, "Shouldn't you be in class right now."
"It's lunch time. I came out right after and searched for you." She said with a quickened breath.
"What did she do?" Samantha face was serious.
"Oh! Pardon me." Realizing her mistake, Samantha changed her words, "I meant to say, what did she want with you?"
'Should I lie and make her tug along or tell her the truth?'
"She called me to talk about our marriage arrangement."
Samantha's face fell flat, "Sh- She did… what did she say?"
I look around, seeing that there was a lot of people around us.
"Why don't we go somewhere else?" I push her ahead, "A place less crowded."
Samantha nodded, "Alright, let's do that."
We walk away from the academic building and came to one that was far away. Standing at a corner where people won't come near.
I looked around to see if someone had followed us before looking at Samantha. Her face still hadn't lost that somewhat fearful look and her body seemed to be hyper active as she asked, "So what did she say?"
"Well…" I scratch my head, "She said a lot of words but let's just say that she was trying to see if we were compatible for marriage or not?"
"She did?" Samantha said, "Marriage compatible… As if you two are good to be married or not?"
"Yeah that and sexually as well." I say only for Samantha's face to change immediately.
"Sexually! How!" She said and stepped forward with a hard step. Her face panicking for my next words, "Did she do something to you in the council room? Something that goes beyond physical relationship…!"
I gave Samantha a deadpan look but she did not notice it.
'This girl, she thought too much into this… but she isn't particularly wrong about this as well.'
"Not really, she only lightly kissed me." I say touching my lips. Remembering her cold hard lips touching mine.
"Lightly" I say, "She only checked to see if the waters matched or not."
Samantha asked again, "Did the water or whatever match?"
"Hear me out. I don't know about me but for her it went probably well."
"How do you know that?" She asked, her tone rising, "What did she really say?"
"Again, there was a lot of talk inside the office. Ones that I can't tell you about."
Samantha relented, "Sorry, if I came out too strong… I just wanted to know my sister's thoughts." She knew that enforcing Henry to say stuff is bad.
"I may not be able to tell you everything," I say, making her distraught face look up, "But she told me that she wants this marriage thing to work."
Samantha froze in her place. Her blue eyes darkening with the image of Henry and Margaret inside the office.
Samantha quietly looked ahead at my chest. Even as I stepped away, she looked in that general reaction. Just as I was about to wake her up, she asked, "And what did you say?"
"I said I'll think about it."
Samantha face changed, her complexion brightening immediately, "Really?"
"Yeah… I can't just agree to her like that. I just met the girl for a few minutes."
"Can't get married to them for my whole life just like that." I say and start walking.
Samantha followed behind me, her steps having an energy she didn't have before, "It's good that you rejected her. Now with me talking with her and then telling my father about this, we can stop this marria-"
"I didn't say no." I stop and look back.
"I didn't reject Margaret, I only told her to wait a while." I say, bringing reality back upon Samantha, "Even though she was quite forward, I can't deny that marrying her will give me quite the bonuses."
Samantha's frozen look came back to her. She asked softly, "But… But that won't change your decision, right?"
"And what's my decision." I say as her eyes widened again.
"But you didn't want to marry m-"
"You are a different subject, Samantha." I tell her the facts, "Not only was I opposed, but you didn't want to marry me as well."
"But Margaret is someone who wants to marry me by her own choice… and frankly, I don't see any reason to deny her." I say and walk away.
Samantha was left standing at that place. Her expression unreadable as she only watched Henry walk away from her.
Walking away, I made my way towards the cafeteria. My destination the normal cafeteria as I already had a plan with Alex and the others.
But as I walked, I saw a glimpse of Elisabeth, standing some feet away looking at me.
Elisabeth walked slowly towards the cafeteria alone. Rosie and her other friends invited her as always to eat lunch together but she denied them.
Henry was called by the student council and Samantha ran out as soon as Lunch break was announced.
Elisabeth didn't understand why she did that but saw her fidgeting as soon as class started. She asked what it was but Samantha stayed quiet, only telling her its fine and not to worry.
She also wanted to know why the President of the Student Council would want to talk with Henry. It could have something to do with everyone saying about how he's going to get punished. Follow current novᴇls on NoveI[F]ire.net
'If only he controlled the way he treate-'
Samantha stopped and saw Henry, standing opposite to the door of the regular cafeteria. She saw him looking directly at her.
Fearing that he would call her, Elisabeth was ready to run. But Henry didn't call or gave her any attention, he just walked away like she wasn't even here.
