ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Kathy Pov

When we entered the hotel room first thing I noticed even in my anger was the decorations on the floor, they went all the way to the bedroom, I wondered who did it and why they bothered me. Covered in pretty red roses and a candle light that formed a part down to the bedroom, I followed the part and the bed was covered in roses formed into a love shape, with inscription HAPPY MARRIED LIFE, the decorations were beautiful, but it would have been better if our marriage was based off love, but it wasn’t so I didn’t see the point of it, I bet it Cross’s mom that did this, becsuse she is the only who will be able to pull this kind of thing up, not to mention I thought we were all going to their mansion but Cross had told me during the car ride that his mom insisted on us going to an hotel for our privacy, that’s the only thing we talked about in the car, I was much to angry to even reply him, at least the bed was big, and I could easily use the pillows to build a barrier, I didn’t fancy sleeping on the couch and I know Cross won’t let me have the bed either, I could use some sleep right now as I am dead tired, I walked back to the sitting area of the big hotel suite as Cross walked in.

“Fucking hell mom,”

I was pissed with him so I didn’t react to what he said, I thought we agreed we won’t get into each other’s business but he couldn’t even let me say hi to Jordan who I haven’t seen in a while and might not see in a while again. Jordan and I graduated from the same high school but then his family moved to Asia so I lost contact with him, I saw him earlier when the events started and have had it in mind to talk to him when I was free, but Cross ruined that, I don’t know why I even listened to him.

“About what happened earlier,”

He said.

“Yes?”

“Whatever Dolly told you, it not true, I never planned on marrying her, she is just looking for attention,”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“That’s none of my business, I thought you were going to talk about the way you ordered me out of the party, I lost the chance to reconnect with a long lost friend because of that,”

I said eyeing him, he didn’t even look remorseful which angered me the more, I wondered how he would feel if I had done the same to him.

“What’s the use of reconnecting with him? Bruh, you just got married and we are leaving Arizona soon, so there is no need,”

“That’s not for you to decide, alright? It’s none of your business just like whatever it was between you and that lady is none of my business,”

I said moving over to where he stood and collecting the bag he dropped, which contained what I needed for the night, before proceeding to try and take off my gown, but it looked like the zipper was stuck.

“Agreed, but we were in public and we just got married, I don’t want the gossips already having what to say about our marriage only a few hours into it.”

He replied.

“What are you even saying? It’s a wedding reception and Jordan is a guest so how am I meeting w a guest gonna cause gossips, the only reason I followed you was that I didn’t want to create a scene but please let’s stick to the original plan, stay off my business and I will do the same,”

I said still struggling with the gown, I felt him behind my back before his hand touched mine where I held the zipper, I jumped.

“Hey, I was only trying to help you, no need to run away, I don’t bite, at least not if you don’t want me to,”

He said dragging me back to where he stood, he helped with the zipper while I held my breath, as soon as I felt the zipper open I quickly left his side.

“Take a chill pill, you are not my type,”

He said, I felt offended, I am every man’s type, not to brag but I know I was beautiful, and I have a nice body too, a get a lot of advances too from different kinds of men, so if I am not his type then he may have weird taste in men and judging by the lady that approached me in the restroom I wasn’t surprised.

“If I am not your type and that lady before at the restroom is, then you have very poor taste in women, why am I not surprised?”

I said and walked off to the bathroom to take off my makeup and take a shower, he said something that I didn’t hear and I didn’t bother to ask him because I wasn’t interested, I just wanted to sleep. When I came back he had already taken off the clothes he wore at the wedding and only had on a per of shorts on, I stared at his broad muscular shoulders, and my mouth suddenly ran dry, I gulped and tried to regain my lost senses, he had a nice body and I would be a wood not to react, it is normal to react when you see something nice, isn’t it? I kept staring and wondering how long he spends at the gym to have such a nice and fit body type.

“Cut it out, Katherine,”

I mentally scolded myself, as I walked into the room.

“If you are done staring, can you come and sign this?”

He asked and I blushed in embarrassment, he caught me staring and ogling at him, but what was he even on about? I thought we already signed all the papers.

“What else am I signing? I thought we already did all of the paperwork?”

“Yeah, but this is the agreement between the both of us so that you will know where you stand with me, there are a few Dos and Don’ts,”

He answered, I sat down in front of him and picked up the papers he kept on the table, I couldn’t even make out what they were, I was super tired, all the stress from the past couple of weeks was already telling on me.

“Can I do this after I rest? I am fucking tired and I can’t read the letters properly,”

“You don’t need to read it you can just sign,”

“You are not serious, why will I sign what I didn’t read, what if you are trying to sell me into slavery? I will read it after I rest and sign, don’t worry I won’t back out I already signed the difficult ones this one won’t be any different.”

I said, still flipping through the papers, trying to make out what it said, but my poor vision compound with fatigue didn’t help my case, I closed it in surrender, if he doesn’t agree then he can sign it himself.

“Okay, fine, you can do it tomorrow, but you have to sign before we leave Arizona,”

“Yes, sir, so can I go and sleep now?”

I asked, getting up.

“Sure,”

He replied and I headed to the bed, already dreaming of laying on it and dozing off.

“Can you try not to snore? I really hate being woken up by snores,”

I said, turning back to face him and he gave me a disgusted look.

“I don’t snore,”

“Well, almost all guys do, I just wanted to let you know, I might kill you if I wake up to you snoring,”

I added.

“I don’t, and don’t worry, I ain’t sleeping on the same bed with you, I will use the couch,”

He said, I looked at the couch and wondered, it didn’t look bad so I didn’t argue, at least he is trying to be a gentleman.

“That’s better, please make sure to turn off all the candles, I hate to be woke by the fire alarm too.

I said and walked into the room without waiting for his reply, pushing all the roses to the floor, I laid on the soft bed, I was much too tired to think of anything, and decide to leave of the thinking for after I have gotten enough rest, I sighed and went off to sleep…
