Denny
For a thrown together wedding my parents went all out. My mom bought me an expensive Vera dress and people are doing my hair and makeup.
Mom smiles at me
" You look beautiful sweetheart I am so glad you are doing this"
" That makes one of us"
" Stop it Denny, that man is a catch he is perfect in so many ways"
" To some girls mom maybe but not to me not for me"
" You can't back out now sweet pea"
I nod
" I know, lets just get this over with"
She nods and we walk out the door my dad smiles when he sees me
" You look Beautiful Denny girl"
" Thanks dad can we hurry up"
We wait for our cue to enter and my dad starts walking me up the isle, Maliki is standing at the front with his normal emotionless face. My dad gives me away and we go through the ceremony.
" I now pronounce you man and wife"
" You may kiss your bride"
Maliki leans down flips my vail and kisses me softly. Why did I sort of like that?
He grabs my hand
" Smile you are happily married remember"
I give him a screw you look and walk out holding his hand faking my best smile. We take pictures and head straight to the reception.
He pulls me on the dance floor for our first dance pulling me close.
" This wasn't my idea either Ardenia"
" Don't Mal let's just get through the next two years and move on with our lives."
" Just keep your eyes off other men and we will be fine"
" You are such an a$$hole you know that Maliki"
I break away from him and walk off the dance floor.
We do the toast and everyone starts chanting for us to kiss. Maliki leans over to my chair caressing my face and kissing me softly. He is so gentle it suprises me a little.
My friends pull me on the dance floor and I dance trying to forget this screwed up situation that I am stuck in for the rest of my collage career.
MALIKI
I never pictured myself getting married especially to my bosses daughter. This is not my ideal situation especially with her. I watch her dance with her friends smiling and having such a good time. At least one of us is having a good time out of this bullshit.
I walk up to her after about an hour, wrapping my arms around her waist and she gasps
" I'm tired do you want to go?"
She nods
" After you dance with me again"
I pull her to the dance floor and pull her against me. I grab her hand spinning her out and spinning her back toward me, pulling her into a soft kiss and she smiles.
" What are you doing?"
" Giving the people what they want Denny just dance"
I spin her back out and pull her to me we dance to two songs and then head to the hotel. As we walks in she sighs.
" I'm going to shower, There is a chair enjoy sleeping in it"
" I'm not sleeping in a chair Ardenia"
" Well then sleep on the floor I could really care less" She grabs her stuff and walks to the bathroom. I change my clothes and build a wall with the pillows laying on the right side of the bed. She walks out singing.
" What the hell are you doing Maliki?"
" Sleeping Ardenia just go to bed"
" You are not sharing a bed with me"
" I am not sleeping in a chair or on the floor I am a human being not a stuffed animal"
" There is a pillow wall you stay on your side I stay on mine that is how it works for the next 2 years"
" The next 2 years? You are not sleeping with me or in the same room as me after tonight."
I sigh
" It is in the contract Ardenia we have to coinside together as husband and wife"
" Then find a couch to put in my room you are not sleeping with me everynight"
" I am not buying a couch you have a perfectly good king size bed we will buy extra pillows now go to sleep princess I have work tomorrow and you have a birthday party"
She grumbles something under her breath and then lays down and hits me with her pillow
" Pain in my a$$"
" Screw you two"
I fall asleep wishing that this whole deal could be over when I wake up.
