The Wrong Groom | 2gether X Tale of a Thousand Stars AU

Chapter 03

Sarawat's POV

"Wat, are you okay?" asked Pear as we tiptoed away from the room that His Highness was happily sleeping in.

He had conked off in seconds and his snores could be heard through the door.

"I'm awesome. Just booking the next flight to Bolivia. I can hike up the Andes and live as an alpaca herder. It's a simple life, no pesky billionaires or troublesome diamonds. Plus I love alpacas" I replied.

"And they love you, but let's not be hasty. I've heard they like to projectile vomit for fun" said Pear, rubbing circles on my back.

"What if I take him back exactly the way I brought him here. All the chloroform is sadly gone, but we could always buy more" I wondered.

"Jesus! You used a whole bottle on him? It's a wonder he woke up at all"

"No, no. My pants saw a fair bit of anaesthetic action. My nether regions are still numb and I'm certain I'm now completely sterile."

"Thanks for that unnecessary detail. By the way, he's really handsome, isn't he?"

I felt a faint heat rising up my neck.

"Who? What? I didn't notice"

"Yeah right. You're the best looking guy in the whole wide world" mimicked Pear in a shrill baby voice.

"Wow! You should be on the stage with those skills. For a second there I didn't know if it was me talking or you" I said, rolling my eyes.

"Where is Man though?" asked Pear. The last we had seen or heard from him was over seven hours ago.

I jumped half out of my skin as my phone rang right on cue.

"Hello? Wat? Dude, you won't believe what happened to me. I'm being held hostage by a sex god. I'm not complaining, I'm just FYI-ing you" he hollered.

I grit my teeth and shouted. "What are you blabbering about, you asshole? Where the hell are you? Have you seen the news? I'm a wanted fugitive. You're going to have to buy an alpaca farm for me. Pear wants first dibs on strangling you."

"Okay, for someone who seems to disapprove of blabbering, you're doing a whole lot of it yourself. I'm not angry, just a little disappointed" sighed Man.

"Man, I swear to God.." I spit out.

"Remember how I was supposed to meet you out in the garden?"

"I do remember. You're the one who clearly did not"

"I wish you'd listen before throwing accusations at me" said Man, sounding hurt.

I took a deep, steadying breath.

"I'm giving you exactly one minute to explain yourself. After that, we are done. I'm cutting you out of my will. My first child, if I'm capable of having one anymore, will no longer be named after you. And I'll donate my pokemon card collection to charity."

"Okay, so I was on my way to the garden when I discovered that I had to pee urgently. Knowing that we wouldn't be able to make pitstops later, I quickly made my way to the restrooms.

On the way, I ran into Pear who asked for water. She looked nervous, so I thought wine might be better. I didn't wait around, but went on ahead, looking for a loo to relieve myself without delay.

I ducked into one of the changing rooms and found a bathroom. I peed at top speed and was washing my hands when I heard someone enter the room.

He kept calling out Tiny Tian, Tiny Tian
