*****

As the car approaches the church, I see Frankie standing outside waiting on me. All of a sudden my hands are shaking. I’ve been really nice about my situation up until now. I’ve allowed my dad and Frankie to manipulate me. I don’t know how much longer I can manage to just take it lying down.

“Hi, Chi,” he says, after he opens the door for me. “You look so pretty.” He kisses my forehead as he helps me out of the car.

“You didn’t have to send a car. It wasn’t necessary,” I murmur, and move my head away from his kiss.

He grabs my chin, and tips my head back. “Is something wrong, Chi?” He’s usually uptight, and very much in control of his emotions. Right now, though, his voice is a bit rough, and his eyes are softer than normal.

Now is my chance. I should say something. He looks concerned, though, and his thumb is rubbing gently against my chin. “No, everything’s fine,” I lie. And then I smile.

He grins back at me. “I’m glad.” He pulls me against his big body, and I feel his rock hard muscles against my softness. Then he whispers into my ear, “You know I want you, don’t you?” Then he kisses the top of my head.

Is it time to just tell him? Does he not know? He has to.

“Let’s go inside, my light. I don’t want to be turned on in church.” I glance up at him, and he kisses my lips quickly. He weaves our fingers together and leads me inside. This is where we are supposed to pledge our lives to each other in two months.

I don’t love you. I don’t want to marry you. My father is forcing me.

Those are some of the things I could say to him. Or I could simply say I’ve met someone else. Now is the time to do it, when we’re in a crowded place. He couldn’t possibly hurt me in front of a church.

Then he glances over at me and smiles almost sweetly. “I’m so proud to be here with you Chi. I don’t think you understand how happy I am that I finally have you.”

“Finally?” I murmur, as I walk with him.

“After I graduated college I came to visit your father, to ask his permission to take you out. He told me no, not until you turned eighteen. I was furious at the time. You were the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. Even when we were younger I knew I’d marry you. It’s your eyes, they hypnotize me.” He says it with a shy grin that he’s tried to hide from me.

His story stuns me. I had no idea he wanted to date me when I was a teenager. I must have been fourteen when he graduated college. I’m surprised my dad didn’t just hand me over to him back then. Why didn’t he tell me Frankie had been trying to date me that long? Why would he hide it from me?

“And then, almost as soon as you graduated from high school you left for college.
