Accidentally Married

Chapter Six

Kate POV

I walked inside Richards’ house of law and saw my best friend waiting for me at the reception area. I speed walked to her and hugged the life out of her…if there’s anyone that is going to double-check this for me it’s her, I need her Attorney mode on.

“Babe…you crushing my bones...” Nessa said with a husky low voice

My best friend is a 5’7 and has black shoulder-length hair that suits her perfectly with her sweetheart face. Her golden eyes stand out every time she is out in the sun. she and Max are a perfect match with Max being a 6’1 with grey eyes and jet black hair and a masculine body…but his body isn’t masculine like that s*x God I saw a month ago at Jason’s club. ‘What was his name again?’ arggg…should have paid attention when Jason introduced us!

“Ohhh sorry…just needed your love,” I said blushing and letting go of her

“Can we go to your office? I don’t want the whole firm to hear that I am the victim of a scam.” I said looking around trying to see if anyone was paying attention to us, but no one except for the noisy receptionist acting like she is busy on her computer while I can see right through her that she is not even busy at all.

Nessa guard me to the elevator and it soon opened and we got in with some of her colleagues… I decided to distract myself from thinking of been married to an 80-year-old man who is about to die… who is ‘my hus…ba..nd’ God I can’t even finish the word without feeling sick to my stomach.

“So Nes…where is your soon-to-be Husband at this Godly hour?” I asked her as soon as the elevator stopped at her office floor.

“He's having a meeting with Shareholders…” she said blushing typical in love Ness.

Just by mentioning Max, she will turn beetroot…

“So wanna tell me why you sent me an SOS text?” she asked taking her seat on the office sofa

“Yes…I am Married!” I blabbered without wasting any second…

She started to laugh and pointing fingers at me like I am some sort of a clown. Would have laughed too if I was in the mood but the girl is not even there.

“Very funny Kitty…you almost got me there!” she said after stopping her classic laugh, using the nickname my family calls me with.

“That wasn’t a Joke Nes…I just found out from that agent that she can’t give me an apartment since well I am married and I lied on my form that I am very much single…which I am!”

She looked at me seeing that I am in a serious mode her Attorney mode got activated also.

“How is that possible?” she asked me like I have an answer for her.

I shrugged my shoulders and took my seat next to her…

“And why are you not at class?” she asked raising her eyebrow tapping her watch

“I canceled my classes…” I weaved my hands in the air then continued “wanted to come and see my attorney Ness.” I paused took a deep breath. “I could be married to an eighty-year-old man who is in his death bed right now…” I huffed

She snickered and tried to cover it with a throat clearing.

“Vanessa O’Dell please stop that, you do know that I can’t afford to put my life on the line…”

“Okay, Kitty…no need to exaggerate.” She took my hands in hers “How about we go to city hall and see what happened and see which old man you got married to…”

“Yes please…now you talking my language”

We got up from the sofa; Nessa went to her office desk and took her purse and phone.

“Aren’t you taking your car or you and lover boy came in the same car?” I asked wiggling my eyebrows.

And there she went beetroot…again

“Yes…we used the same car to come to work and why will I take my car when I can catch a free ride with you? You hardly drive your car…so I might as well enjoy your since 2020 new car till this day.”

I just rolled my eyes at her comment…

I don’t think I am the only one that prefers using a taxi than my car…but maybe I am.

We got into my car and she drove us towards the city hall…the one place that has an explanation to my dilemma.

Once we got to the city hall we stood in a long line…’gosh even college registration line isn’t this long guys.’ I rolled my eyes and try to pay attention to my attorney that I never find myself paying.

“So babes…picked a wedding date yet?” I asked miss blush

“Ahh yes…yes we did and since you are my maid of honor I want you to be top-notch to the wedding preparation. Everything that I need I want you to be there starting with the wedding venue to picking of dresses…” she paused to think about something then looked at me with a mischievous smile.

“I mean you have to since well you never got to invite me to your wedding…now this is the least you can do for your best friend.” 

“Nessa…remember when I told you that you can’t make jokes to save your life?”

She nodded with a mischievous look never leaving her eyes…

“Well…I am still saying it even now. ‘Bad joke woman’. Now don’t remind me that I might be married to an old man please people might hear you…”

I said the last sentence in a whisper yell.

It was now our turn and Nessa worked her Attorney magic on the teller woman…

She typed something on the computer and looked at us and said “Yep…your client is married ma’am.”

“I am not married. lady…wipe that status out and put on my single status I need my status back.”

I yelled at the teller…

“Kitty I thought you are the client and I am the attorney…now shut up and let me handle this…”

“Hey, you can’t talk to me like that…” I whisper yelled at her

“Yes I can…it’s not my fault that you got yourself married and don’t remember!” she gave me a daring look and as soon as she saw that I won’t retaliate she looked at the teller.

“Ma’am, my client isn’t aware of this whole marriage thing, is there a way we can file for an annulment?” the cranky attorney asked…

‘God…can’t wait to have my come back on her.’

The lady took out some pile of papers and gave them to her and said “She and her husband need to sign these papers and return them as soon as they are done.”

“I don’t have a husband…”

She looked at her screen and said “Not according to the state of California ma’am…” she gave me a cocky look.

“May we have the husband’s address since my client surely doesn’t know her husband’s home address?” Nessa looked at me like someone who is about to bust in laughter

“And the Husband’s name…” I added

The teller moved her gaze back to the screen

“Your Husband is Reiley Julian Fox and his address is 1432 Masterpiece Los Angeles, CA, 90027.”

I looked at Vanessa and saw that her jaw is touching the city hall floor…

I moved my hand under her chin and closed it for her…” That fly was about to devour Max’s tongue…” I said taking the pile of paper that looks like it could be a phonebook and my so-called husband’s address.

We walked out of the city hall and my friend is still in daze…

“Vanessa O’Dell…what is wrong with you?” I asked her and she shakes her head and screamed

“Kitty…you are married to the most sexiest bachelor of LA.” And there she went with her loud scream that could shake the ground.

She ran to me and hugged me…

“Who is this sexiest bachelor?” I asked oblivious to what she is saying

“For an Economist, you sure are blond Babe…”

She started to tell me who this Fox that I need to find and sign these papers so that I can move on and get my apartment since I only have until next week to find another place since I didn’t renew my contract with my current landlord and before they found out and start to prepare for my death.

“Okay let’s go…I know his office we can go there and ask him to sign and get this all over with.” We got into the car and she started driving to the so-called office of my husband

“You know…if I were you I will just approach him and tell him we are married and he and I could play this until after the 4th of July…when you go home and show him off at your mother so that she can back off from trying to invite her colleagues to come and hit on you.”

I huffed…” Please don’t remind me of that woman’s skims and don’t you dare tell her about this.”

My mom is the worst match-maker ever lived

As soon as we pulled over at a humongous office building my wingman’s phone rang…she took the call.

“Sorry babe…seems like my service ends here today with you. But just go in there and tell them you are here to see the CEO.” She took my hands in hers and said “Goodluck Dr. Brown-Fox”

“Wait…you can’t leave me now! And don’t call me that…I am Dr.Brown…and we are at the door just get in and help me solve this and you can go.” I started to use my puppy eyes on her

“Those won’t work love…need to get to court in an hour or so, Max wants to see me before then.”

“Fine…leave!” we both got out of the car and she took a taxi and I started to walk into the building.
