An Inevitable Fate?

She was angry!

Of course who wouldn't be?

For a split second, Aaron regretted his movements. While he was thinking what he could do, a pillow came flying at him. He scoffed and effortlessly caught it. In the next second, another pillow was thrown. Piece of a cake! He caught it.

He was waiting for the next pillow but, a blanket made its way towards him. A blanket? Jeez! When he tried to catch it in one hand, the blanket hit his face. To be exact, something hard inside the blanket hit his face.

"F*ck!"

Aaron shrieked in pain. He quickly removed the blanket and saw a wooden vase. What the hell? He touched his forehead and felt a burning sensation. Great! He was bleeding!

"You asked for it!" Rachel answered.

When he saw her face, there was no trace of guilt. How he wishes to hit her back. Of course, it was just a wish. He could only glare at her.

"Are you satisfied now?"

She didn't answer. Silence means consent.

"Good, let's have breakfast. Come."

"Are you kidding me right now?" Rachel flared up.

He stopped in his tracks.

"I'm not. There's really breakfast in the kitchen." Why would he kid about having breakfast?

Seeing his innocence, she felt disgusted.

"Why am I with you?"

"... "

"I clearly remember I was with my friend. How did I end up here? Huh?"

"... "

"Damn you, sick bastard!"

She cursed loudly when Aaron kept neglecting her questions. He was arranging the breakfast as though he didn't hear anything from her.

Will it be alright if she kills him now?

"Have breakfast first."

She scoffed. How could he expect her to eat in this kind of situation?

"You have gone nuts!"

She stood up and walked towards the door to leave. As she was about to leave, Aaron spoke.

"Wait."

She turned back but didn't attempt to walk back.

"There are no cabs, no buses or subway here. How will you go?"

Hah! Here she thought he would explain to her.

"I will crawl and go. Is there any problem with you?"

She didn't wait for his reply.

20 minutes later.

She realized that the scheming guy was correct. There was no means of transport at all.

even after walking for some time, she didn't find a single soul. Sigh! What the hell is this place?

Without any other choice, she headed back to the house.

Inside, Aaron was having his breakfast leisurely. He wasn't surprised seeing Rachel coming back.

Seeing him neglecting her, Rachel puffed her cheeks up with embarrassment. She sat on the opposite to him and waited patiently.

"So?" Aaron slowly asked wiping the sauce at the corner of his lips.

"Uhm... "

"Did you run out of energy to crawl back?"

"... " Damned guy.

He finally lifted his head to see her face. God, she was so cute with her red little face. He wanted to tease her more.

"Why does your face looks like an a.s.s of a monkey? Why is it so red?"

"... " F*ck him!

He was struggling not to laugh at her.

"Are you done?" There came her chilling voice. Oops, she was serious.

He cleared his throat.

"Yesterday, you were dead drunk and your friend called... "

He explained everything without hiding anything. Well, he left out the scene where he kissed her. He didn't want to die so early.

"So, my friend called my fiance and you came to pick me up?"

He nodded.

"So, you told them that you were him?"

He again nodded.

Her blood was boiling.

"Why?"

He subconsciously remembered the previous day's event where he saw Darren with some other woman. His eyes turned dark with furry.

For a second, he wanted to tell everything to her about that unfilial man. But he held back himself. He wasn't going to stoop low to Darren's level. He didn't want to win her over by sympathy or something.

He wanted to win her fair and square.

"He asked me to pick you up as he was busy." He lied smoothly.

Rachel scoffed. Did he take her for a fool?

Seeing her 'I don't believe you' look, Aaron sighed.

"You can ask him if you want." He simply stood and took the food containers into the kitchen.

He was acting as if he couldn't care any less. She was slightly convinced but she swore that she would beat him to death if she gets to know it's a lie.

Aaron came back from the kitchen with his car keys.

"Let's go?"
