I think your over exaggerating

Writers P.O.V

His voice was deep..calm..had this cold storm within it when he said "nice to meet you.."

She smiled at him without knowing what to say..

What should she say at this kin of situations?!..

He came close to her only making his face features more remarkable..he looked like an adult..with those nice green eyes..

It was even hard for Jasmine herself to deny how handsome he is..

Lily would have loved having a husband that looks like him..

He sat down on the chair in front of her..

And the way he looked at her made her realize that he himself was waiting for her to sit down so that they can chat together..

She placed her purse in the table next to her and made her steps towards the chair facing him..

They were silent for seconds..

She didn't know why he was staring at her like that..

Or how exactly..

And after a few moments being like that..

She decided that maybe she should break the silence..

"Can you please tell me why this sudden visit..? Coming to my office so suddenly telling my people your my fianceé Mr.Knight?

That small laugh that he let out at the end of her words planted some annoyance within her..

-"You dont know my name do you?.."

She Bit both her lips..

He was right..she didn't remember what his name was..

Not her fault...

-"Its Elijah"..

She gave a small smile assuring him she won't forget it again..

-"Plus..why cant I?..that is true.."

Her smile suddenly disappeared..

What..!!

He must of noticed how confused and uncomfortable she was..

-"We are getting married..aren't we?"..

" is that what you want?.."

-"I dont mind.."

"I'm sorry..do you even know my name?..how old I am?..what collage i went to?..my last name?!.."

He blinked twice..

"no you don't..I doubt your even going to remember how I look the minute you walk out of this door.."

He must of thought what she was saying was stupid from the way he smirked..

"Do you think I'm funny?.."

-"I think your over exaggerating.."

"About marriage?!.."

-"About you consept of marriage.. Jasmine.."

At least he knows her name...

She looked confused..

He stood up after seconds with his hands in his pocket..that boyish smirk not leaving his face..

-" Jasmine Osman..25 years old..about to turn 26 in 5 months and two days..you went to UNCG in Greensboro...studied information programing...stayed with your Uncle while being in USA..probably why you have that American accent..."

.

.

.

She was just staring at him in an understandable way..

-"Ohh..and I think blond tall hair looks better on you than brown.."

Unbelievable..

He laughed after a few seconds to kill the awkwardness around them saying..

-"I pretty good in my researches..I study well too.."

Jasmine killed all the shock she got..trying her best not to feel weird..

"So I understand that you want to get married?..to me?!"..

-"You seem pretty uncomfortable with the idea.."

She rose both her hands in the air with what looked more like frustration..

"Because this is marriage we're talking about..!!"

He sat down again..

-"And what exactly is your concept of marriage?!..''

It was almost anything to her than what is going on right here in front of her..

He licked both his lips..and put both his elbows in his knees..looking like he was going to prove a point..

-"Marriage is more like a responsibility..its more than a relationship between two people..its more than that love feeling between them..it needs more than that..it needs respect..honesty..maturity..and much more than that childish love you got in mind.."

She could feel Both her ears turn red at what he called "childish love" she believed on..

Thank God she had her hair down or he would've known that she was blushing..

-"I believe that with all of that..marriage can go on much better than the one built on love.."

She hates to admit it..but now that he says it...it was embarrassment that was filled in her more than anger..

But that still didn't mean that she is supposed just say yes out of the blue..

That didn't mean that she still accepts that..

And most importantly..that doesn't mean that will happen between them..

He knew he need to try harder..to get the attention to get her..

-" I know that a virus hit your software..."

Jasmine looked up at him so fast that I swear her neck could've broken..

Now that..that got her angry again..

For the love of lord..how did he even know that?!!?..

He was able of reading her again..

"I told you..I'm good with homework.."

The way he scoffs between his words is really starting to get between her bones..

-"And you know..we have one of the biggest departments for fighting viruses in the world.."

She didn't like where he was going with this..

"Be straight forward with what you mean please.."

-"if we get married and combine our companies toge-.."

"Ppffffttt..yeah..not going to happen.."

-"you know you need us.."

"I can find my ways..I always do.."

-"well you cant be lucky eveytime.."

Uuggghhhh....

How calm he was..

the way his stupid British accent that follows his scoffing words are killing her..

"I'll take my chances.."

-"and let all your hard work fall away just like that?!..because of your self confidence and leap of faith?!.."

She bit her lower lip..

He is really pushing it..

-"Or the thought of love that you need to have?! You know...that Cinderella story you have in your mind to with prince charming to get married?!..well let me tell you this..Cinderella left her heart that day not her slippers..and the whole illusion that she had with prince never existed..they only said they lived happily ever after because there is no happily ever after...is was only desire in both thier bloods that made them make that choice..and desire doesn't last for ever...though marriage is a forever decision.."

He took a deep breath in..then let it out..like he needed to accomplish something from this..

-"you need me..you need my help..I know that this here is the most important thing to you in your life.."

"If you know that..then do you expect me to easily just let go of it and have you control it?!.."

He blinked twice..

-" I think you are misunderstanding something here.."

She rose both her eyebrows..

"Really?!..what exactly?!!"..

-"just because we are getting married that doesn't mean your company is going to be apart of mine..we are only going to help you with the virus..nothing else.."

If he didn't want to take over the company..then why is he willing to help out of the blue?!..

What is he getting out of it?!

"What about you?!.."

-" what about me?"

"What are you getting out of this?"

-"The marriage?.."

"And helping me?"..

He bit his lower lip..

It seemed like he didn't know how to explain it..

It made her more curious..

-"my father is going to take my position..or specifically his position back..he said I'm not responsible enough because I won't start a family..that I cant take marriage...that's why I cant lead the whole firm.."

A confrontation between him and his father..that's it?!?!..

-"i told him that me and you met two months ago and fell for each other.."

I'm sorry..

Who did what now?!!...

-" and that I want to get married to you..but I didn't want him to tell your father about it..knowing how strict he is.."

"And how do you know me?"..

His ironic laugh told her everything..

-"everyone in this industry does..plus my father is fond of you because your father always talkes about how strong of a woman you are..he's completely head over heals for you.."

Is that why her father wanted only her and not Lily?!..

Because his father particulary asked for her hand?!..

"So You want to get married to me specifically because your father likes me.."..

-"it was going to happen sooner or later..you were going to get tangled up with one of the Ali's either ways.."

Great..

"And not only do you want me to marry you..but also pretend that we are in love?!.."

-"well you do seem like your good with this make beliefs.."

"Okay..if you want this to happen..you need to start respecting my thoughts and beliefs..."

"So your in?.."

"I didn't say that.."

-"I know you dont have anyone in your life right now.."

This is disturbing..

"What exactly do you know about me other than that?!.."

"You wouldn't want me to reveal all my winning cards now would you?.."

Uuggh..

That stupid smirk..

"So your in all of this just to prove your father wrong?"..

He was just staring at her..

Jasmine tried her best to read him..to get and understand what he was feeling or at least what he was even thinking like how he was able of reading her this past few minutes..

But she couldn't..

He looked at her with cold complicated eyes..

Green Eyes that told her this is a calm before the storm...

She knew deep in her that this is most likely not the only reason why he wants to get married ..and a part of her wanted to say yes just to know why..

While the other part wanted to smak slapping that part..

He was a cold, delusional, complicated puzzle that seems to be missing..

And maybe she was those pieces he needed at the very moment..

She took a deep breath in..

She alway knew that when you believe in God and take a leap of faith trusting him nothing could possibly go wrong..

And he could be her only savior in the moment..

All she cared about was her job and responsibilities,maybe if she agreed she can stand and prove her self more to her father,

She needed him to keep her job and prove her self.

That's the only reason why..

The only reason she opened her mouth without thinking again saying..

"Okay..yes..I'm in.."

And with that look in his eyes she knew everything is going to change..

And I mean Every.Single.Thing...
