My Arranged Marriage to John O'Callaghan

Let my feelings show!

John woke up in the morning and saw that his arms were around Emily, her head contently lying on his chest; he smiled and buried his face in her neck. As her scent swirled around him, he realized just how much he really had missed her when they were supposedly fighting. John looked up at her calm sleeping face that held a hint of a gentle smile. Beautiful, that’s all he could think she was so beautiful to him that it made his heart clench, he really is in love with her, so much in fact that it hurts. John wanted to kiss her again... he had never craved another woman’s touch as much as he craved hers. It wasn’t just the physical aspect of Emily that he loved though that was a component it was her love he wanted with all his heart. John inwardly groaned, he was going all mushy, he silently chuckled. He looked at Emily again and remembered the tenderness she showed to his little cousin Jonathan, when he had seen her with his baby cousin he realized that he wanted no other woman in the world. John thought about her admission of her childhood life, how she became a grown up by force, john felt sad because he had a wonderful childhood but Emily didn’t...Well he was going to remedy that, John grinned and slid off the bed gently so he wouldn’t wake her up, he was creating a list in his head that would unleash her inner child at least for a day...

Emily...

Emily woke up and felt...serene, she had woken up in the middle of the night last night and realised that John had engulfed her in his arms while he slept, Emily heart had somersaulted and she had laid her head on his chest, feeling warmth flood her stomach and her mind was dazed, she realised how much she loved John, it wasn’t falling or like, she was madly in love with him and she could think of ever living a day without him. Just a gentle touch from him could make her melt or whenever he was near she would feel her heart leap, but most of all whenever he hugged her or kissed her cheek she would hardly be able to breathe...She is in love with John O’Callaghan...Her fiancé. Emily turned her head and realised that John was gone, she exhaled loudly, where did he go? She thought that they weren’t on good terms now... before Emily had time to continue her thoughts her phone buzzed, she grabbed it and saw opened the text message;

From: Unknown
Looks like you don’t understand that you have to keep away from John but I guess you’ll have to learn the hard way, don’t find it strange if something happens to you in the next few days. Oh and by the way you looked great in that dress yesterday mmm ;)

Emily just held the phone staring at the screen she was officially threatened and didn’t know what to do, she read over it again especially the remark about her dress she concluded 3 things; 1: she was being watched, 2: she had a stalker or stalkers and 3: it had to have a male involved by the salacious meaning of ‘Mmm wink face’. This made her shudder and the joy she had experienced at coming to terms with her love of John was utterly vanished. Her phone buzzed again and she dreaded picking it up but this time she knew who it was from and it made her smile;

From: John O,
Hey baby come downstairs I’ve got something for you, dress in something you don’t mind getting ruined muahaha. Love John.

Emily chuckled and wondered what he meant by something she wouldn’t mind getting dirty, so she took denim short shorts and old t- shirt and flip flops, she tied her hair in a bun and went downstairs. As she saw john her heart never failed to jump and went he turned to face her he gave her a heart melting smile that made her bite her lip.
“Is this alright?” She asked him spreading her arms so he could see her outfit.
“Perfect” He smiled and grabbed her hand in his pulling her out of the house and started leading her to his car, he opened her door and she hopped in, expecting him to just close the door, he didn’t. Emily felt her breath catch as john leaned in and kissed her cheek, then softly kissed her lips. Emily hand automatically cupped his cheek as his lips were still on hers and when they parted, John looked into her eyes and she flushed bright red. John smiled and kissed the tip of her nose before finally closing her door; Emily swallowed and tried her best to breathe properly. As John entered his seat, she glanced at him and he smiled warmly which she returned a little shyly. John pulled out of the driveway and his one of his hands immediately reached hers, as he was rubbing circles with his thumb, Emily tried to hide her blush but it came brighter and brighter and as she kept biting her lip.
“Where are we going?” Her question came out a bit breathless making her blush again.
“That’s for me to know and for you to find out later baby” He looked at her and his green eyes sparkled making her heart thump against her chest.
“Alright then sweetheart” She sighed leaning her head back against the head rest.
“I love it when you call me that” John said his voice husky.
“When I call you what? Oh!-” she said as realisation hit her, she blushed.
“And I love it when you call me baby” She answered shyly, John lifted up the hand he was holding and kissed her palm,
“You are my baby” John said with a touch of possessiveness, Emily again was flushed.
John parked at a place where it looked sort of like a park, minimum amount of trees. Emily looked at John questioningly but he just smiled, both hopped out of his car and John swung his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head, what has gotten into him today? Whatever it was she loved it.
“Stay here for a sec” John said and Emily lifted a brow.
“Oookay....?” she said confused, john disappeared momentarily,
Emily looked around when she suddenly was hit by an object and covered her in water. She gasped and looked around for the culprit finding that it was john who was laughing and holding another water bomb in his hand. Emily gave him an evil smile,
“Really now O’Callaghan...?” She said in a sweet voice as she walked towards the 2 buckets filled with water bombs. Emily grabbed a yellow one and threw it at john who ducked right on time, John threw another one at Emily hitting her square in her stomach; John and Emily were laughing ecstatically as they soaked one another, Emily run out of water balloons while John grinned at her as he had one left, Emily’s eyes darted around and she ran as she found a bucket of water. John threw his water bomb at her and missed her; Emily turned around and soaked John in water from the bucket. John just stood there for as though he could not believe she did that, Emily laughed and when she saw john’s face she just muttered an ‘Oh crap’ Emily started running away and heard John running after her laughing, Emily laughed and run but due to John having such long legs he easily caught up with her and tackled her both landed on the grass bursting out in laughter. John landed on top of Emily and both looked into each other’s eyes, John leaned down and kissed Emily with a lot of pent up emotion, Emily kissed back feeling as though she was floating through the air, her hands went to John’s hair, as they broke the kiss John leaned his forehead on hers, she looked into his eyes and John said;
“Will you be mine?”
“Yes...”
