Love After Marriage

Chapter 9: Friends?

The entire wedding ceremony went pass like a blur. Nothing seemed to interest me. I smiled like a robot and sat through the entire ceremony practically half awake.

We were finally married, and my life was over.

It was around 1 a.m. and most of the guests had cleared out. The adults lead us into the guest room where they held a drinking ceremony which had turned into an after party. I barely had a couple of Soju shots before I started to feel a little tipsy.

Sometime after, the room had cleared, and David locked the front door of the room.

I was sitting on the couch that was placed at the end of the room.

"Get up and get changed" he said, his voice gentler than I have ever heard it. "I will bring out the mattress for you to sleep in"

The fact that he said that made me want to laugh. He wanted to let me sleep on the ground where it was too cold. What a gentleman. He came back with the mattress and laid it on the ground. I looked at it and laughed. I was groggy and half drunk and anything could have cracked me up.

"You can't even handle a little bit of alcohol" he snickered.

I gave him a seductive smile and unzipped the side of my dress. I slid off my dress such that my stick-on bra was half exposed, and I hiked up my dress such that my legs were bare.

"Let me see if you can handle a little bit of me" I said in my most seductive voice as I took a hold of his tie and pulled him towards me.

I turned him around and pushed him onto the bed. I looked into his deep dark eyes, brought my face close to him. He looked shocked. Heck, even I was shocked. Just as he was about to lean in, I pushed him back onto the bed and smirked. I climbed over him and onto the bed. I quickly got under the sheets and made myself comfortable.

"I'm sleeping here!" I whined, completely changing the tone in my voice.

David was still stunned from our little encounter.

"errrr yeah..." he cleared his throat and regained his usual nonchalant expression.

I smiled and snuggled into the covers. I eventually closed my eyes and sleep took over.

I woke up in the middle of the night and something was weird. Something was missing. I felt around to check whether I had my phone with me, but instead realised that my dress and bra had been taken off and instead I was wearing a baggy shirt I had never seen before. 

"David, are you awake?" I asked cautiously.

"yup"

"Whose shirt am I wearing? and why?"  I asked, confused and slightly scared.

"Mine. You were mumbling in your sleep and said you wanted to take it off because you felt suffocated so, I helped you" he replied coolly.

"WHAT?" I yelled

"Don’t get your panties in a knot. I didn't see anything. I just helped you slip the shirt on. You took off the bra yourself afterwards." he said.

That sounded okay to me I guess. I did not have the mood to scream at him either. This was the most civilised conversation we might have had so, I did not want to ruin that. Besides, he is kind of my husband now.

"Why are you awake? Do you need anything?" he asked.

I was surprised at him. The guy who did not even want anything to do with me was being concerned.

“It feels weird being married.” I spoke my thoughts. “I am scared to be honest.”

“I am sorry that things had to be this way’” he sounded genuine for once. 

"You know, I'm really sorry we did not get along well since we met" I said. "Maybe we could just be friends?"

"We should.” He agreed.

“With the honeymoon coming up, which we cannot get out of, being friends won't do any harm." he yawned.

We came to an agreement that night to just be friends that happened to be married. At least, this was the first step to a more bearable life. I took out my phone to reply some of my congratulatory messages and there was a message from Bianca.

Having fun? ;) - Bianca

Pleasured - Rachel.

Satisfied with my text to Bianca, I once again slipped into dream land. 

I woke up the next morning and found the room empty. I checked the clock on my phone and it was already 11 a.m. I was starving, so I decided to get changed and go out for a late brunch with Bianca and Tiffany who had stayed the night at my place. I was taking out David's shirt when I realised how good it smelled. I was attracted to the smell and that made me feel disappointed in myself. I took the shirt off and flung it backwards.

Just then, the door creaked open. I turned around to face the door to see David coming in with a breakfast tray followed by Daniel. Daniel looked at me, blushed and took a step backwards. Confused by his reaction, I looked down at myself, and that's when I realized that I was completely topless.
