Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

But Jerlina wasn't left in her thoughts for long.

"Do wha-"

Before she finished speaking, he leaned to her and kissed her lips. And then he chuckled as if he had achieved something great.

"Bye, wifey! Have a good day!" he waved his hand.

Seeing the happiness in his eyes, Jerlina grinned.

I love him!

"Bye, hubby! Meet you at the office," she stepped on the gas, rolling up her window.

Jeremy stepped aside and let her pass. He wanted to scream in joy.

She called me HUBBY!!!

Scarlett watched the driveway of her neighbor's with a smile on her face.

"You're not leaving yet?" Bobby's voice made her sigh.

"Look there," she pointed at Jeremy passing Jerlina packed lunch and sending her off with a kiss.

"Have you ever done this for me? I bet he cooked her lunch today too," she said curling her lips.

Bobby was stunned. He usually leaves early and she'd be the one kissing him goodbye. He never thought of reversing it.

"Okay, my dear pussycat, I'll send you off today," he ran inside the house.

Scarlett saw Jeremy started dancing the moment Jerlina left the gates and chuckled.

"Bobby! Bobby! Come here..." she called as if her life is on the line and Bobby came out running.

"What is it?" he asked with his voice filled with worry.

Scarlett pointed at the dancing Jeremy and Bobby ended up laughing.

"Don't laugh," Scarlett punched him in the gut. "Isn't it nice to see him like this?"

Bobby was not impressed. "Did you call me to punch me? I'll go prepare your lunch," he turned to leave.

"No," Scarlett stopped him. "Limit your cooking to your BBQ grills... Don't intrude into my kitchen! There is only so much dry meat I can take," Scarlett grumbled and walked in.

"Dry?" Bobby's face paled. "You called my meat dry? I am the BBQ King and you called it dry? D.R.Y. dry? Oh dear, you did wrong by calling your man's meat dry!" he gritted his teeth.

He was not happy to see his dear wife laughing mockingly at him and lifted her up.

"Bobby!" Scarlett punched his shoulder. "Let me down! It's late already..."

"You should've thought about that before calling my meat dry, p*ssy! I'll show you how wet your p*ssy gets because of my dry meat," Bobby held her closer.

*Bang*

Their bedroom door closed.

"Oww!"

Jerlina jumped as Scarlett pinched her waist. Jeremy still hasn't arrived at the office yet and Jerlina was in the breakroom to make coffee.

"You seem to be..." Scarlett wrapped her hand around Jerlina's nack. "...happy..." she got closer to Jerlina's face.

Jerlina pushed her face that was inching closer to her face.

"I am happy!" she smiled.

Scarlett saw the smile that originated from her heart and she felt happy for her.

"Don't tell me...You've finally realized you've fallen for our Jerry, Huh?" Scarlett looked closely at Jerlina.

As Scarlett expected, Jerlina's face reddened.

Jerlina was surprised she was outed this soon by Scarlett. "Can you read minds, Scar?" she asked with her eyes wide.

Scarlett just grinned. It doesn't take a mind-reader to know what's in this one's heart.

This one is an open book!

She's been humming songs the whole time. First, it was "Stupid Cupid" and now it is "Lover". She had a different kind of smile looking at her lunch bag and the happenings of the morning and Jeremy's dance...

"So...you've told him?"Scarlett wanted details.

She was not that surprised since they were getting closer each day and knew it is inevitable.

"Not yet..." Jerlina pouted. "I wanted to tell him but then..." Jerlina covered her face remembering everything.

"Why not?" Scarlett was disappointed.

"I want to, alright..." Jerlina rubbed her cheek. "But... Ah! I want it to be romantic! And I have no idea-"

"Do you think Jerry is the kind of guy who wants a rose with a confession? Just tell him and make him buy you a diamond bracelet or something. You're so stupid you make me want to hit you," Scarlett hit Jerlina's back.

"Do you want to know how we confessed?" Scarlett whispered in her ear and Jerlina looked at Scarlett.

Jeremy told her some insane story that seemed straight out of a p*rn video making Jerlina question Jeremy's mental cognizance for believing that story. Scarlett never gave out that particular detail before. And so, Jerlina wanted to know it straight from Scarlett.

"We were neighbors, right? And I always had a thing for Bobby..." Scarlett's face got red thinking of those days. "We knew each other forever and our parents considered us as cousins since we were the same age. I thought he thought of me as just a friend and...I felt it was taboo to love him although we weren't related," She shrugged.

Jerlina was interested in the story. It must have been hard for her at that time.

"But that day... I was fifteen and I was alone at home... I looked out of my window and Bobby was in his backyard, shirtless and working out... I just wanted to run to him and kiss him. But... I thought that feeling was wrong for some reason and...I couldn't take my eyes off him and I felt hot all over. I got on my bed and I started to you know..."

Scarlett wriggled her fingers and Jerlina's eyes widened.

Why is Scarlett's story going in the same direction as Joel's?

"I imagined him over me and... I self-pleasured. It was very intense. After some time...Bang!" Scarlett screamed suddenly making Jerlina flinch.

"The door opened and there he was – Bobby. You should've seen his face seeing me naked with my hand between my legs..." Scarlett laughed. "My heart started leaping inside my chest cavity and I wanted to disappear after showing my privates to him like this. But..."

"I think that's enough," Jerlina closed her ears.

It is romantic for Scarlett, of course. Her love bloomed by that accident.

But for Jerlina, it reminded her of the storyline of the p*rn she watched for the first... Ahem! The only time*!

For some reason, she still remembers something she watched only once* and replaced the actors with Bobby and Scarlett. And that wanted to make her throw up.

(*T&C apply)

Jerlina agreed it was more of her own fault than her devaluing Scarlett's love story.

"Come on, Jerlina... Have a listen..." Scarlett pulled Jerlina's hand down and started elaborating it in detail.

Scarlett was no fool. She knew how her love story sounds like and that's why she won't speak of it to everyone. But it is the truth.

Somehow seeing Jerlina's discomfort, she wanted to tell her more.

And so Jerlina was told how Bobby locked the room and walked inside and asked Scarlett if he can help and Scarlett even tried to elaborate how he helped her.

Jerlina had to claw her way out of the clutches of the very nasty Scarlett who was somehow making Jerlina's stomach go all fluttery as she remembered the previous night.

Oof! Why is it hot here?
