MARRY ME NOW

Chapter 3

What? What? My eyes widened, what am I going to do? I could have been in my hotel room, on my bed, crying into my pillow if I wasn't so distracted by some stranger. "There's a staircase we could use." He said behind me. Thank god!

"Oh, there is? That's a relief." I say and he chuckled but there was a hint of surprise on his face as if he was surprised that I didn't know there was supposed to be a staircase.

"Come with me." He walked forward and I followed behind him. We got to a staircase. A long staircase, if that's the only way down, I have to use it.

Ugh, how was I going to drag my luggage down this staircase? There was so much work. It felt like I could collapse at any given moment. My body was weak.

We walked down slowly, it felt like I was going to fall.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah," I replied, okay, I was not okay. My legs were giving up, after walking for what seemed to be like forever, Jake halted.

For a moment I thought we had reached, "are you sure, you don't look okay."

"I'm perfectly fine-" he cuts me off when he came in front of me and bent down. "Hop in." He said.

He was going to give me a piggyback ride!

"You don't have to..."

"It's okay." He said firmly. I sighed. If I wasn't so tired, I wouldn't have. I hesitantly climbed on his back. He took my luggage and hold it with his free has as he used one arm to hold me and he started climbing down again.

After what seems like hours we finally reach the 5th floor, this hotel must be huge.

Coming off his back, I blushed looking away. "Thank you."

"No problem, you seem new here, do you know the way to your room?"

"I'm new, but it would be easy to find it, seeing I'm already on the floor."

"I guess this is a good night, here, in case you want to contact me... If you have any problem, you could always reach out to me." He said giving me a contact card.

I took it from him, before saying another thank you. I walked away, to find my room.

Room 16c

After searching for it for a couple of minutes I got there. I entered the room, it was a comfortable room.

I sighed, all I wanted at that moment was to clear my head. I flopped myself on the bed.

Third Person's POV:

Tessa tossed around the bed, she could not sleep, and tears streamed down her eyes. She prayed to wake up and see that it was all a dream. To wake up beside Carson and see him looking at her with his caring eyes like he has always done.

Things didn't turn out well for her. She cried for what had happened, she cried for Carson. Cries escaped her lips.

She felt sick and had thrown up a couple of times. She remembered her aunt and she knew she would eventually go to her.

After all, she has no place to go, if she stays in the hotel room for a week, she'd be stranded, speaking of money for her to eat and to take care of herself.

She had never thought she would ever regret going to Carson. She thought love conquered it all.

Was she wrong?

The weather wasn't helping either, it was so cold, that she clutched the duvet closer to herself.

Tessa's POV:

I woke with a huge headache, it felt like someone had hit my head with a metal.

I groaned standing up from the bed, I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take my bath.

If I have to go to my aunt's place, I had to leave early, it is pretty far from here. Sigh.

After I was done, I got ready, throwing my clothes on me. I took bags and walked out, but not before checking if I forgot anything.

I walked to the elevator, I pressed open, it opened and I walked in, it was about to close but then it opened again.

A man walked in. That sinfully handsome man, again.

I gulped looking away, even his aura is scary. He was in a suit. It looks really expensive.

Did he notice me? He doesn't seem to, he didn't glance once at me.

I maintained my place in the elevator. Soon it dinged and stopped. Oh, thank god!

I walked out quickly, going to the exit. Immediately I was out, I called a cab.

~

I was in front of my aunt's house, should I just go back? Go. If you want to suffer.

God, please save me. I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, before going to the door. I knocked on it.

The house hasn't changed a bit. After a couple of minutes, the door opened, revealing my aunt.

A huge scowl formed on her face. "You! What are you doing here?! I told you not to come back here! He's dumped you already?" She screamed at me. I just looked at the floor, my eyes blurry with tears.

"Answer me!" She shouted when she noticed I wasn't answering her, was that tears forming in her eyes?

"Yes."

"Ugh! I knew it! He's of no good and what are you doing here?"

She asked me. How was I going to answer such a question? Why was I back?

~

I looked around my old room, it hasn't changed a bit, I dropped my bags on the table next to me.

I was so tired. I sat on the bed, more tears spilling out my eyes, I didn't know when I fell asleep.

"Are you sleeping?! Don't think I'd let you stay in this house without you working for me! Go and work, the house needs to be clean, I have guests coming." Aunt snarled at me. I quickly stood up from the bed.

"I'm sorry," I said. She just glared at me and gestured the way I should take it. I sighed walking out of my room.

I cleaned the whole house. Everywhere. Even outside the house.

I was unusually tired lately and started throwing up, what is wrong with me?

I took my phone, went on google, and typed my symptoms.

The first thing that popped up was pregnancy, I can't be pregnant. But, there's a chance that I could be...

I had to go buy a pregnancy kit.

~

My eyes widened at the kit in my hand. I was pregnant! Oh god, what do I do? "The guests are here! Go meet them." My aunt said, I quickly hid the kit, holding my hand to m back.

Why do I have to meet them though

"Okay," I replied.

"Wait. Put on something nicer." She said walking out of the room.
