One Wild Night

Chapter 10

Scarlett's POV

I wake to the sound of my phone ringing, and without opening my eyes, I answer, my voice oddly more raspy than usual, "Hello?"

"SCARLETT INGRID JOHANSSON WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???" I hear the voice of my publicist say. Now waking up from my drunken stupor.

"what are you talking about?!?"

"Pictures Scarlett, tons of pictures of you, and Elizabeth, and Cobie and Hailee with two unknown women at some bar, looking quite risqué. What do you have to say for yourself?

Looking around the room, suddenly realizing this is not my room, I am in her bed, and completely nude. WHAT have I done?

"Listen Janice, let me call you back." I end the call, and immediately look online to see what images she is talking about, and it all comes back. I cover my face with my hands, and suddenly realize I am wearing a wedding ring. I look closely at the small gold band, obviously worn with age. I know this ring.

"It was my great-grandmother's wedding band, and she passed it to my Grandmother, and she passed it to me. I have worn it around my neck since she passed away, said a smooth and sultry voice coming into the room." I look up and see her, the bartender I had met a few days ago. Her shagging short silver hair, those piercing gray eyes, and those lips.

"Hi," I said to her.

She leans down, brushing her lips against mine. "Hi yourself. Look, I know you're probably wondering what happened last night, and it's a lot to explain. Why don't you put these on, and meet me in the kitchen. Your friends are here, and we made breakfast."

As she left the room, I crawled out of bed on wobbly legs, and did my morning routine. Putting on the joggers and t-shirt she left for me. They smelled like her. Arriving in the kitchen, I am greeted by my friends, and a steaming cup of coffee. I look up to see her watching me. She has a smirk on her face. God those eyes....

"Earth to Scarlett?!?" I snap out of my thoughts to see my friend Florence waving her hands in my face.

"Good morning to you too Flo," I say sitting down next to my friend Lizzie.

"Scarlett, do you have ANY idea what you did last night??? We have been trying to find you two since you left here yesterday and then we find out you got married last night?!? What were you thinking?!?"

"WAIT, WHAT?" My head snaps around to look at her, also sporting a wedding band.

"I'm Cam, Cameron McKnight, and apparently, your new wife."

"Oh my GOD, what happened last night?!?"

Cam POV

"Would you ladies like me to explain?" I asked.

"YES!!" they all said in unison.

I walked over to the table, sitting next to Scarlett, who automatically shifted onto my lap, and cuddled into my chest.

"I took Scarlett out yesterday to show her some sights, and we ended up in a private cove I know. We went skinny dipping, ate a wonderful picnic lunch. We talked and got to know one another, amongst other things, and in the heat of the moment, I asked her to marry me. You see, I fell in love with this woman, the moment I met her. I love everything about her, her eyes, her smile, her laugh. I want to spend the rest of my life with her." I say to the wide eyed group.

"How did you manage to pull off a quickie wedding, even you aren't that smooth. It can't be legal." Cobie asks.

"I called in a favor from a friend, he is a Judge. He and his wife met us, and the twins, Linds and Lo acted as witnesses. The band on her hand belonged to my Nanna, and has been passed down for five generations. My band belonged to my Poppy." I say.
