Marriage of Benefits Chapter 8

All the days after that went by in a blurry until it was the New Year's celebration . Jamie dressed up elegantly in a turquoise dress which was covered by net on the neck and the arms . She put on her liner and a little amount of lip gloss went downstairs, her parents were waiting for her . She smiled at them and then the went outside to the car and with a little talk during the drive they reached the Cullen house . Jamie hesitated a moment before she went inside, she greeted The Cullens, and they had a little chat because now Jamie was a lot more comfortable with her situation thought Charles called her a few times to apologize and explain himself but she was never ready to listen to him . At the party he was totally ignored by her luckily she met her old friends from the school and they enjoyed a lot, drinking and dancing and then they played a lot of games . She enjoyed the party this time knowing that her happiness was ending tomorrow . When her friends left the party she had to use the restroom as she came out her way was blocked by Charles and she was pushed forcefully to an empty room which was soon locked by him then pinning her to the wall he spoke angrily "If you couldn't trust me how could you say that you loved me . I was drugged when I thought that it was you and after that I never slept with anyone all of them were rumors . I know you won't trust me but you were always the one I never had anyone in my life . I don't want you to trust me but at least don't hate me that kills me inside . I am not a player . " to avoid crying he left the room without giving her a chance to speak leaving her dumbstruck . Jamie stood there for a long time trying to process his words . Those simple words were were so difficult for her to understand . She only came back to her senses when Cary called her . She put herself together and moved down, they sat for dinner with The Cullen family where they discussed about the wedding next day and through out the dinner Jamie could not prevent herself from staring at him but he did not pick up his head for even once to look at her or maybe to avoid showing her the tears that covered his eyes .

When Jamie could not take it anymore she escused herself "Can I have a word with you Charles . ALONE"

He did not say anything but got up to move with her . They went to his room but he didn't intend to say anything so she spoke "I can't understand what is wrong or right or whom should trust . I will need time to trust you how can I not trust what I saw you said 'I love you' to her in front of me . You need to give me one reason to trust you . You can not prove everything but you need to give some time to find the wrong and right . "

"hmm" when she was about to leave the room Charles held her arm "I never saw her again and fought with her to tell you the truth but she said that she wanted this and she succeeded and would never tell you . Seeing our situation I feel that we were destined to be together . "

Jamie gave a little 'mm' and went out then they peacefully had dinner and went home . When they entered the house Cary called Jamie "Don't stay up late or you will get dark circles and tomorrow is your wedding I hope you want to look good . " Jamie blushed leaving a mm and went to sleep .
