First wedding
Vera POV
“ You are now pronounced as husband and wife ” I listened absentmindedly to the procedures of the first of the five weddings that I have to attend in a period of five weeks.
It has never been in my thought that I would be sited attending a wedding like I do now. Actually I am one person who doesn't even believe in marriage ... in fact I don't believe in relationships . I think you now know why I don't believe in love .
But for the sake of my business , I had to do a good impression and attend weddings so as I get more familiar and “ friendly ” with other business partners and that is why am here at the first of the five weddings that I have to attend .
“ hey partner” the husky voice beside me pulls me out of my thoughts making me answer panickingly,
“ Ehmmm” I answer stupidly offering him my hand . He takes my small hand into his big one . This is the most awarkward thing that has ever happened to me in my life.
I have never been this close to a man. Yes, at 28 I have never had a boyfriend but there is no way I would come here without a man..so I got a wedding buddy . Infact I just haired him on some site . I only know one thing about him..it is a name , Hunter which I am not even sure it is his real name.
“ We have to join the others for a dance . remember my work is to make us appear a real couple. ” he reminds me about what our original plan is .
“ Okay" I answer with less interest like I was even forced in hiring him. He gets hold of my hand gently and leads me to the dance floor the rest with others .
He instructs me to put my hand around his neck and he puts his hand around my waist as we begin to dance to the music along with the rest of the people at the wedding .
“ You are aren't bad at this” Hunter flirts. The truth is he has been making continuous effort to atleast the two of us get along until the end of this party .
Getting not really anything to talk about i just keep quiet not getting any interest yet in this conversation .
I am thankful when Finally the dance is over . We sit down with the rest of the guests.
“ Thanks so much for coming Miss Mathews ” the Bride says as she gets next to where am sitted with Hunter at my side.
“ It is actually my pleasure to be here ” I answer feigning a smile .
“ Wow! Should we be getting our shoes ready?” she asks with a smile looking at Hunter. The truth is it takes me a few minutes to understand what she is insinuating . And then I finally get it .
“ Ooh, not exactly that will be a long time to come ” I respond quickly wanting her to either go to the other visitors or change the topic. After her talking so much that I am not even able to listen or understand.
“ You seemed so tough when she talked about us” Hunter says as soon as the bride is away from where we are .
“ Just mind about the reason why am paying you ” I answer angry at him for not minding his business .
“ I was -
“ Better do what you are supposed to do if you really want to be paid " I interrupt him for sure getting more furious by how he is trying to familiarize with me.

“ Here we are ” I hear his husky voice once again getting me from my dozing position . Infact we were done with the party and hr he had to drive me home.
He opted that we use his car to the wedding even when I told him numerous times that I would be grateful with mine.
I allowed because I didn't want to argue with him for a long time. I wanted this to end and that is all.
“ Ehmmm” I say trying to understand Where we are . We are at my apartment . I don't wait for any other thing . I just move out of the car and head towards the elevator without making even looking behind to look at him.
“ Won't you even wish me a goodnight ?" I hear him say but I just ignore him and continue to move towards the elevator. I am practically tired for all the shot that happened today and the only thing that I want right now is to slit in the shower and forget that I even attended a wedding today.
Don't forget you have four more weddings to attend in a row, I hear my subconscious say but I just ignore her . I f*****g know that and therefore I don't need her to be reminding me of it .
Getting into my apartment , it is as lonely as usual . My friend , Aimee has for long told me to get the interior of my house changed so that it appears like how girls houses are supposed to be but I don't see any thing wrong with it.
I feel so exhausted after the whole stuff . I first take a sit in the couch to try and relax as I get rid of my shoes throwing them to one side . Just then , there is a knock at the door making me puzzled at who would be there.
The only person that I would think of coming here is Aimee but then am sure she will not be coming just today . She went for a weekend get away with her fiance. I get up heading to the door drastically to see who is there.
I open the door with anger wondering who is at the door.
“ You!” I say perplexed at realising who is at the door .
“ You forgot your purse in the car ” he answers appearing as though he is innocent as he lifts his hand to give me the purse.
I wonder how I forgot it .
