better take-off your wedding dress and put the robe first because your make-up artist will be here” Clarisse smile.

I do what she told me, about a minute “They you are, what a lovely bride” the make-up artist gasps. “You are really beautiful without make-up” he hugs me, he’s a gay. “Cheska, we’ll meet you at the church okay?” mom bids then they all gone leaving me, the make-up artist and his assistant behind.

An hour passes by and I was wearing my wedding dress now. I feel bored so I’ve decided to write my dos and don’ts while we’re married. This includes:
Own bedroom; no asking personal stuff; no intrusive with both parties; no borrowing personal stuff including towels; toothbrush; undies and bras. I giggle about the last thing I wrote but I didn’t erase it.

The make-up artist is busy putting my veil when Jed enters my room. I glance at him but get my attention back to my writing. I feel burning eyes looking down at me and I don’t intend to look back because I know that it’s Jed. Wait! What the hell is he doing here?

“Why are you here?” I break the silence and that time the make-up artist is already finished. “Why? I want look at you before I go to church so that I won’t be surprise” he smirks.

“Don’t you believe about the superstition that you must not see the bride before the wedding?” I smirk back. “It will end up bad you know”

“Nah, we both know the deal so I don’t need it. See you at the wedding, by the way? I thought white gowns are for the virgins only” he turns his heels on me. I wasn’t able to handle myself. I took off my wedding sandals and throw it at his back. He’s insulting me so much. I can’t take it anymore.

“What was that for?” he ask seriously. “Don’t you dare do that to me again you---“

“Don’t you ever tell me what to do Jed; Stop insulting me I am still a virgin and I already wrote down our deal on my diary” I snap.

The make-up artist and his assistant explode a cough. I forgot that they are there but who care? I am really pissed.

“You better get ready for the wedding Miss Shawn because I’ll be waiting at the aisle” then after that he left.

“Miss Shawn, let’s go. Don’t be upset now” the make-up artist smiles at me. I just nod as a sign of response.

I was able to go to the church when I remember that my wedding sandals are nowhere to be found. Where the hell it is? Darn it! I don’t have enough time to look for it! I just grab another wedding sandal and unfortunately don’t fit me.

“Are you alright Miss Shawn?” the make-up artist asks concern. “Yes I am” I walk downstairs and went straight to the limousine.

Jed really tries to freak me out about this whole marriage thing, but I will not let him ruin my life by not ruining his. If he’s playing a game then I’m up to it!
Mr. Crawford, I can play too you know?

Chapter Eight

I arrived at the church, there I see a huge media people. Along came my dad from inside. “I’m so happy for you Francheska” he smiles while hugging me. “Dad, is it really necessary to have the whole media on my wedding day?” I ask frustratingly. He laughs and taps my back, I just sigh in defeat. Dad and I attempt to go inside when one of my sandals unexpectedly went off. Now what? Go back to where I started just to put back on those damn sandals?

I frustratingly shake my head.

I was on my way to get the damn sandal when one of the visitor whispers “Oh! According to the saying when the bride accidentally took off her sandal it means a bad luck and their marriage will end up into divorce” then another woman whisper “Someone, give it back to the bride so that the bad luck is not huge”

I clasp my hand and sigh. No matter what they say, our marriage has an expiration date. I attempt to be quick of putting my sandals on when Jed show up in front of me, his left hand holding my original wedding shoes.Maybe he hides it when I threw it to him.

And again, another unexpected move was again performed. Jed knelt down in front of me, putting my wedding shoes carefully onto my feet.

I hear gasps and whisper and relief from the visitors. I also heard some teens that giggle and say “Isn’t it sweet? What a lovely couple” but then again this are just Jed Crawford’s show. For him not to disappoint his parents and hurt the one that he truly loves Rose.

After Jed put my wedding shoes onto the perfect place, he then stands up and smile at me and my dad. I give him a back-off look then he smiles “Be careful next time and hey! I’ll see you down the aisle” but before he walk to the aisle, I grab his arm and whisper “Wait for me there, okay?” then I smirk.I told you, I can play your game. Don’t you dare try me Jed, because I bravely accepting the challenge.

His mouth drops open in shock before I left him.

“I now announce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride” the priest announces. I look at Jed and he look back at me, Darn it! I forgot about this kissing thing. “Don’t you dare kiss me” I mouth at him “I will…” before I finish my sentence, Jed swoops me to a 5 seconds kiss.

My mouth drops open but he smirks at me; I don’t want to let him win this game. So before he could turn back to the people, I put my palm on his face and gave him a deep kiss. I push him back then smirk.Now we’re tie!

The next thing I knew, my dad and mom swings me with a hug. “You’re now a wife” mom exclaims. I smile at her than taking pictures follows.

After the wedding, we went straight to the reception area then we went home. Brandon’s mini apartment, we didn't go back to his mansion. “I don’t have a spare room, so you should probably sleep on the floor” he said.

I couldn't believe it! His really acting ridiculous, he’s not even a gentleman!Come on! He’s not a gentleman to you because he’s just using you for Rose!

My subconscious spats. Well I guess she’s right! After all, this whole marriage is based on a lie. “So?” he snaps. “I can’t sleep on the floor, it’s so hard and I haven’t even tried sleeping on it ever since and besides, you are the man!” I shout.

“We’re just the same” he shouts back. He’s really getting out of my nerves. Before I could protest, Jed jumps on the bed and hides his face under the pillow. “I will just sleep on this one end! But don’t you dare touch me” I warn. “Oh no, you’re the one that should bear that in mind” he said and he suddenly moved his back on my back leading my body fall down from the bed.

“Ouch! What the heck are you trying to do?” I shout but still lying down on the floor, bearing the pain I got. “Ooops, I’m also naughty on the bed you know keep on moving like the hands of the clock” I look at him but he’s not facing me, so I got up and sigh. “As for me being a gentleman, I would let you sleep on the other end” then he started moving away from my place.

“You are like a retard person that is so insanely…” I was cut off by a snore. Jed Crawford is snoring? Unbelievable; I then lay down at the other end of the bed. Trying to consume all the events that just happened; I’m a married woman now.

I try few styles for me to sleep but I still couldn’t. There and then, Jed’s back is like calling me. I try not to be doomed about it but unfortunately my body abandoned me. I feel myself moving towards Jed’s back and started hugging him.

He moves but still keeps on snoring, he’s fast asleep. My husband, he’s now my husband and I am now Mrs. Jed Crawford.6 months!

My subconscious reminded me.

I roll my eyes and let Jed’s warm back consumes me in the darkness. I am his for 6 months, and he is mine. Even just for a while.

Chapter Nine

I was awaken by the shimmering light that expand in the room, I felt warm around my body. I rub my eyes and try to sit up, but I was unfortunately abandoned by my own body again. I felt some heavy muscles surrounded my top body part what’s going on?

I gaze at my side and it then answered all my questions.

My husband is hugging me tight, my head leaning on his broad hard chest and I'm embracing him as he is to me. I am able to look at his face too closely, not wanting him to be awoken. Later I know, he is hugging me tighter and slowly pulling the blanket to mine. Wait what? We are sharing the same blanket?

I gasp in horror and finally my brain is now thinking. I look back at Jed and now we are both in shock, and without a nanosecond we both push away from each other and an awkward silence occurred.

“Are you trying to watch me while sleeping?” Jed breaks the silence. “Don’t be ridiculous you jerk! Why would I watch you sleeping?” I snap and quickly stand up from the bed. “You’re supposed to sleep on the floor, why are you now in my bed?” he asks facing at me. “We both agreed that I can sleep at the other end of the bed” I remind him.

What was I thinking? Oh please floor, eat me now!
