Complicated but Perfect (COMPLETE) - Fearless Pinoy (great book club books .TXT) 📗

I’m with Jed’s parents, were waiting for our flight bound to Seattle. They’re both excited for me and Jed and it’s actually safe to say that they’re more excited than me. Before I left at the house, my mom told me that I can come back whenever I want. Maybe she felt sorry for me but I don’t want to take the risk knowing that mom and dad end up fighting because of me.

And last night I’ve decided to give it a try. If it will work out then go but if not then sorry. But aside from that I already have a plan last night and it’s pretty cool. I will get some flaws that might end this ridiculous deal.

“Cheska, we’re going to take our private jet” Ben snaps me back into the world. “The flight is way too long to wait, but if it’s not okay with you then…”

“No, a private jet is awesome. And besides, I the one who was invited and you must lead the way” I smile.

“You’re part of the family now Cheska, please we know that this whole agreement was a shock for you but give it a try” Clarisse smile.

“Yeah, I will” I gave them a reassuring smile.

It just takes us one hour travel and a half drive to their exclusive villa. I’m so tired and lazy to move my body, but I have to. I don’t want to let them think that I’m in disgrace to my family and I can’t stand for myself. Besides, I don’t want to marry their son.

“We’re here Cheska” Clarisse announces.

I step outside the car and gaze at a very beautiful and huge mansion, just like ours. The difference was the façade of it, its light red and a grey. The front yard was fully maintained, it’s so cool. Well, who can argue? Mom told me that Clarisse is one of the best architecture and designer of their years.

“You’re house was so adorable” that’s only I can manage to say. But the truth is I’m speechless.

“Well, thanks but it’s not our house. It’s Jed and yours” Clarisse smiles.

My smile evaporates and it changes into a frown. What does she mean that the house was Jed and mine? But were not married and I don’t intend to. I just said that I give it a try means, know him better.

“You’ll be used to it Cheska” Ben whispers.

I look at him quizzically but didn’t say anything. After a moment, an old woman walks towards us and smile. She must be one of the workers of their family because she’s wearing a uniform same as the others.

“Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Crawford what a surprise visit” she greets. Then her gaze focuses on mine. “It must be? Miss Francheska Shawn?” she smiles. I nod without hesitations, how does she know my name?

“Mrs. Moore, can you usher Miss Shawn to her bedroom and everything?” Clarisse asks.

“Well, it’s my pleasure Mrs. Crawford. Let’s go Miss Shawn” Mrs. Moore invites.

“Are you two coming?” I ask referring to Clarisse and Ben who are still standing beside the car.

“Oh! No Cheska, We’re not staying here” Ben said. “We have a business trip along with your parents in Australia, we just come with you but we’re now leaving” he adds.

“Besides, Jed will be happy to see you here” Clarisse grins.

A big sigh erupts and the couple just laugh, I then nod at them and smile. Now what? I can’t change it anymore.

“Don’t worry, they will not let you starve here you know” Ben smirks.

They bid me goodbye and the car starts running away from the mansion. I then look around and follow Mrs. Moore inside the house. This is really tough but great.

Now that I’m alone I can do my plan to ruin Jed’s image to my family then the whole marriage thing will end. I will make sure of it; I don’t want to marry him. I don’t want to be part of their family. I have my own plans and I don’t want Jed to ruin it.

“Welcome to the house Miss Shawn” Mrs. Moore announces.

“Oh please, just call me Cheska Mrs. Moore” I smile.

“Then just call me granny” Mrs. Moore smile back.

And we both ended up laughing while she usher me to my room. I’m thankful that I’m not sleeping with Jed.

I’m inside my bedroom and there I frown, Clarisse did a great job buying things for me. They are really serious about me having my own things here. The bedroom is fully furnish and is in exact places. How did they do this? Are they really sure that I’m going to marry their son?

“Granny, where is Jed?” I break the silence.

“Oh, Jed is at work. You know that boy, he keeps on working since he was eighteen” granny sighs.

I sit down at a wooden chair while watching granny change the bed sheet. I’m more curious of Jed now, did he know about the agreement? If so, what was he thinking right now? Maybe he has a girlfriend? I must talk to him, but now I must keep asking granny about him.

“Granny, does Jed has a girlfriend?” I ask.

She froze and sat on the bed. I don’t know but she’s thinking deeply. Am I asking too way off? Too bad, but I don’t mind.

“I think so Cheska, but I like you more than Rose his girlfriend” she sighs.

So, why did Jed agree about this? Later I saw a black SUV pulled outside the mansion. I look intently, there I notice a tall man wearing a business suit. He’s handsome, young but serious. As he open the other door beside the driver’s seat, a very elegant woman catches my attention. They are perfect for each other. Who are they anyway?

“They’re here, I mean she’s here again” granny said sarcastically. There I knew that it was Rose and Jed. Hmmm, I find it interesting.
What will be their expression if they see me here? Well, as possible I don’t want to meet Jed.

“I can tour you around the mansion if you want Cheska” granny smiles after putting the last pillow on the bed.

“I want to do it on my own granny, but I want to do it secretly. I mean please don’t tell Jed that I’m already here, I don’t want to ruin their date or whatsoever today” I smirk.

Granny left me in my so called bedroom. I quickly prepare myself for walking. A short shorts and a black t-shirt is alright along with my black converse. I let my hair fall and walk outside the room.

The mansion is so massive, not like the others I’ve seen. The interior design is so perfect, where is Jed and Rose? I don’t really mind about them, but if this was so. Why doesn’t he back off about the wedding?

“Jed, you know I’m not yet ready” a girls voice occur in one of the rooms where I stood. It must be Rose, I think. I don’t want to spy, but there’s some kind of force that push me to listen to their conversation.

“Rose, will you marry me? Please” Jed asks desperately.

“I’m sorry Jed, but not now. I have so many plans; I want to reach them before I settle down” Rose replies.

I don’t know what happen next but all I know is that I’m standing face to face to a woman named Rose. My mouth drops open and Crap! “Who are you? And what are you doing here?” she spats. How could she just do say that to me?

“I—I I’m sorry ma’am, I just want to talk to Mister Jed” I answer. I hope she will be convinced but I was wrong. “What do you need?” she looks at me furiously. Well I just want to tell him to back off about the agreement you sick!

“Uhm, very important matter Rose, Aunt Clarisse and Uncle Ben wants us to talk about it privately” I said it chin up. Now who’s the boss?

“Who the hell are you?” she glares at me. Is she really that kind of woman, seriously?

“I think it’s none of your business, and I think you and Jed are already finish discussing something” I didn’t let her respond instead I walk pass her and went inside Jed’s mini office, I think. Before we talk I slam the door close so that Rose can’t hear or if she does can’t disturb us.

“Who the hell are you?” Jed glares at me while slowly recovering from the shocking experience when I slam the door behind him.

“I don’t play games here Jed Crawford” I spat.

“What do you want?” he glares evenly.

“I want you to back off about the agreement of us being married” I said. “So I see you’re Cheska” he smiles. Now, he looks weird.

“And so?” the door burst open and standing there are some familiar faces, my parents, Jed’s parents and Rose. Oh come on! I thought they have some kind of business trip.

“Now, you finally met each other” dad said happily. I roll my eyes and glares at Jed who keeps on smiling at me. He’s being a creep, don’t he knows it?

“So, now we can talk about the marriage and ---““I don’t want to be married to him, he likes somebody else and I don’t like him” I cut Clarisse off.

Our parents look at my direction but I didn’t let my guards down. On the other hand, Jed still keeps on smiling. “Why don’t you ask Jed for clarification?” I smile.

“I don’t want to cancel the agreement Uncle
