10 RULES OF OUR LOVE

CHAPTER 8 ~ THE BIG WEDDING

LOLA'S POV

I woke up to a strong and sturdy surface, and I stretched myself while feeling a bit sleepy, only to hit what seemed like a person's face.

'Wait.. where am I?' I thought inwardly and opened my eyes in alarm. I was on Mr Andrea's bed. The strong and sturdy surface I had woken up to had been his bare chest.

I looked at him thoroughly, and he looked so good. His chest heaved in and out, and he breathed lightly. He had perfectly carved breasts, and his six packs were clear for all to see.

His perfectly carved face held his red lips that looked so yummy as he slept like a baby. I stretched out my hands and caressed his face, finally placing my hands on his sweet lips, which looked so inviting. He suddenly opened his eyes, and I was so shocked and embarrassed at the same time.

"What do you think you are doing? You can't get enough of me.. huh?" He asked, and my mind went back to the events of the previous day.

FLASHBACK.

Mr Andrea asked his driver to hurry to his boutique, and he got me a very beautiful black gown with gold platelets, body and hair cream, waged golden slippers, and a box of jewellery accessories.

We drove to his house. Before I could go up to the room I had stayed the night before to have my bath and change my clothes, he broke the news.

"My parents are going to be here in about 20 minutes. You have very little time to get ready and come down here so that we can make sure our stories of how we met align." He said, and I felt a bit scared.

"One more thing...my parents have to take a liking to you, else there will be a punishment for that, according to the contract. Do your best." He said, and my eyes went wild in shock. I really needed to read the contents of that contract properly!

I was meeting Mr Jackson Peters, the richest and most dreaded man in Canrany, and as a fake wife to his only son.

What if I got caught? What if they don't like me and I'm thrown out?

I went up and quickly took my bath, mentally preparing myself for the act I was going to have to pull off.

I got into the beautiful black gown, and the gold platelets glittered beautifully. It looked so good on me!

I had dried my hair in the bathroom, which had all I needed, and applied some hair cream on it. I put on gold earrings, a necklace, bangles, and a black watch.

I turned to the full mirror to have a look at myself, and I looked drop-dead beautiful.

I ran to the living room, and I saw Mr Andrea sitting on the couch.

"I'm ready, sir," I said, and he turned to me, surveying me from my head to my toes.

"Good, let's get to know each other," he said, and suddenly, I heard a sweet female voice call out.

"Andrea, my boy!" A woman who looked super young and gorgeous called out, and Mr Andrea had a shocked expression on his face.

"Mum! Are you here... already?" He said, and a deeper and stronger voice answered, stepping up behind the woman.

"Yes, son, we couldn't help but be a bit more early. Is that the lady who was able to steal your rock-like heart?" Mr Jackson Peters asked as he walked towards the sofa. What was going on? Why would they come earlier? I didn't know anything about Mr Andrea, and I was super sure they were going to ask questions.

What was I to do?

Would I be sent out before I even got the opportunity to start the contract?

ANDREA'S POV

I was super alarmed, but there was nothing I could do. We just had to go with the flow.

I had gotten some fried rice and salad from the fridge, heated it up, and set the dining while Lola was getting ready.

Lola greeted my parents warmly, and it didn't take more up to ten minutes for them to warm up to her, which was very strange. She was currently sitting in between them as they complimented her on how beautiful she looked.

I had almost drooled on myself when I saw her enter the living room. She looked so f*cking beautiful!

After a while, we went to the dining to eat, with my parents asking some questions on how we met and some questions about our relationship, and Lola answered them expertly like a pro, making up answers that almost felt real to me.

My parents sat opposite us as we ate happily, discussing as one big family.

Lola stared at me lovingly when we were asked how we first met.

"We met on a rainy night when Andrea's car broke down, and I helped him fix it. I had no idea he was a very powerful man in the country." she said very smoothly, and my parents 'awwwwed' happily.

"I was so impressed by her confidence and skill. She even rejected the money I offered her," I said, staring lovingly at Lola.

"I tracked her down a few days later to thank her properly. We kept meeting frequently, and slowly, our friendship turned into something deeper. We got to know each other more and got into a relationship. I kept our relationship hidden because I wanted it to be real, and I didn't want the media to interfere. But when Dad began to pressure me to get married, I just knew I couldn't do this with anyone other than her." I said, staring persistently at Lola.

She looked so beautiful and her lips.. they looked so good and kissable. I pulled her in for a kiss and kissed her passionately, ignoring her shocked expression. She gently kissed me back probably to convince my parents we were in love.

"You've got yourself such a rare gem, Andrea!" My mum yelped happily, giggling in Joy.

"Get a room, you both!" My Dad yelled, and we let go of each other, coming to our senses.

"It's quite late, so your mum and I are going to be spending the night here," Dad said, and I turned abruptly, totally bewildered.

"Whoa, Dad.. I think you and Mum can still make it back home in time. You will be more comfortable at home, " I said, trying to make it look like I was worried about their comfort.

"We will manage son, it's been a long while since we hung out like this. You both can retire to your bedroom, I'm guessing you can't wait to enjoy each other as newly weds." My Dad said.

Wait... our bedroom! We were going to be sharing a room?

There was no way to bypass this. We went into my bedroom, and I gave Lola my nightwear to put on. She took a bath, put them on, and laid down at the far end of the bed, covering up herself with the duvet.

I went into the bathroom, had my bath, put on a short, and lay down on the other end of the bed. I thought about what a stressful day it had been and drifted into a deep slumber.

Next Morning

I woke up to a hand, gently caressing my face and then.. my lips.

I opened my eyes and stared at the flushed face of Lola Erikson.

"What do you think you are doing? You can't get enough of me, huh?" I asked Lola, who looked super embarrassed at being caught.

"I... I..." She stuttered, trying to come up with an explanation when we heard a sudden bang on the door.

"Andrea! Open up!" My dad said, and I jumped off the bed.

I pulled the door open to the smiling faces of my parents.

"I can see we are interrupting a very beautiful moment, but trust me, it's for the best." Mum said happily, looking at Lola, who sat up on the bed.

"What's going on?" I asked, suddenly feeling nervous about what would come next.

"We have given you a compulsory 1 week break from work to prepare for your elaborate wedding," my dad said, and I froze.

What?

Why was this happening? I thought getting a court marriage would halt all plans for this supposed big wedding.

This wasn't how I planned this out!

"You don't have to worry. Your mum and I will handle everything. Arrange a meeting with Lola's parents. We have a wedding to plan and I need to meet my inlaws." My Dad said, and I stood still in shock.

Oh, no! This wasn't happening!
