Matchmaking Bond
A deal to be made!

In the car, we just kept quiet and looked at the car window.

As the situation became awkward, Dave took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Fio, I'm not going to mince words anymore because we're married. But surely you also realize that this marriage is not of the will of both of us but also not of coercion. I just hope that you will be a loyal wife during marriage." said Dave while looking at the woman who had just become his wife.

Fiona turned away from the window, her head bowed in confusion to answer him. Finally, Fiona simply nodded her head slowly.

Seeing Fio nodding his head, Dave observed his wife. Does he have to be this sweet? his mind in the heart.

The dress she chose was simple but elegant. A long white dress covered her ankles and had long sleeves. Only decorated pearl beads. The dress clearly shows Fiona's slender but contained curves exactly where she should be. Seeing him made Dave so sultry that he loosened his tie.

"Are you always quiet like this? I feel like I'm talking to a wall!" dave said as he lightly ruffled his hair bangs.

"How can we have this marriage? or what if one of us falls in love with someone else? I was just thinking how we could say yes to your parents." Fiona said.

"Haha. I don't know either. But a few days after we answered my parents, I decided to make a letter of agreement with you. I've written down some terms that I want, I'll give you to read. After that you can write down the terms you gave me. How about we try this wedding for a year and if it doesn't work out, we'll be able to part ways" Dave replied.

"Now we will go to the house first to change our clothes. But we have to be fast because we don't have much time. Our plane will leave later in the afternoon." explained Dave.

Fiona tries to digest Dave's words slowly. Trying for a year? What if this marriage doesn't work? I will be divorced and will be a widow at a young age. Then I can't fall in love with him. Lord, protect me who never even felt like I had a boyfriend. Take care of me so that I am not destroyed. Just thinking about Dave's words, made his heart ache.

Fiona thinks about the possibilities that will happen and decides that for now all she can do is study hard so that she can still get her scholarship and also to stay and have a heritage house his parents. Fiona ventured to ask Dave.

"Are we going to stay at your house? Can we stay at my parents' house because I grew up there. Even my father put up a special swing on a big tree in the yard of the house for me." asked Fiona.

"Sorry, it should be the wife who follows the husband but the house is very close to the campus. I could not and never learned to drive a car. The only car we had, was destroyed in an accident that resulted in both of my parents dying on the spot" Fiona added.

"Honestly, we can stay at your house because I haven't been able to afford to buy my own. I spent my money to build my own office. I still have to pay for my SUV. So all this time I've been renting apartments in the middle of the city. I don't mind if that's what you want" Dave said.

"But as a husband, I will try to meet your needs. Just tell me what you need."

"Eh, for my daily needs or tuition, I will try to manage my finances. Thank you for offering. I got compensation from the guy who hit my parents. I also got papa's pension and papa mama's insurance money." Fiona replied quickly.

Wow, this girl even though she just lost her parents, but she can get up and organize everything she needs efficiently. Dave amazed.

This girl is not only sweet but also smart. Unlike most of the girls I met when I was in college, they were not only noisy but also spoiled. I need to find out more about him. How intriguing.

I thought my marriage would never be boring.

"Fio, I know you can manage your life, but this is one of my duties as your rightful husband. Don't ever hesitate on me because we're even going to share the bed." seduced Dave as he blinked one of his eyes at Fiona.

They continued their journey home in silence. Dave imagined also the normal things men think of. Dave smiled to himself.

Finally, they arrived home. Fiona immediately opens the door and allows Dave to enter the house.

"Do I still have time to shower?" fiona asked as she opened the door of her room.

Fiona just stood in front of her room, startled. Why is this my room different? The posters from The Lord of the Ring are no longer on my wall. My room has also been repainted because it can smell wet paint.

The bed linen for my bedding also the pillows look new.

This must be Angie's job!!

That's why he asked for my house keys when yesterday I was getting ready to go to take care of my needs to get married. Fiona's feelings raged between having to be angry or hugging thanking Angie. At the very least, this room does not seem childish or geeky.

"You can take a shower. When you're done, let me know. I'll wait for you to rest here." replied Dave.

Fiona immediately picked up a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. Inside the bathroom, Fiona attempts to unzip the back of her dress. After a while, his attempt to open the zipper failed. Embarrassed, Fiona walked over to Dave who was sitting on a small sofa in his room.

"Can you help me? Can you help me unzip this dress?" ask Fiona.

Dave immediately stood up and helped him unzip. His fingers touched Fiona's soft back. Dave looked at Fiona's visible back and enjoyed this sight. Dave smelled Fiona's hair, like sweet candy, he thought.

Fiona just stood tensely in place and waited for Dave to finish opening his zipper. Dave was standing too close to me. Is he going to hug me? If in the movies, what he has to do now, he thinks is muddled.

"You're fragrant and beautiful. I want to eat you." answered Dave.

Fiona immediately runs away from Dave and locks the bathroom. He's standing behind the door. His heart is beating very fast.

Dave just smiled like a kid who found an interesting toy. He seems to have no experience with men. Good though. But calm down my little girl because I won't ruin your future. Not until we know how we each feel.

"Don't linger inside, we've got a plane to catch" cried Dave from outside the bathroom.

Fiona immediately took off all the accessories in her hair and went to take a shower.
