Forced Marriage

Chapter 12

VEGAS POV

I opened my eyes. It was around 5:50. Why did I wake up so early? I usually wake up at 7 or 6 if I feel like getting up. I look to my side and see Pete sleeping soundly. My arm is wrapped around him. Was I hugging him the whole night? I hope not. I stop hugging him and get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I took out my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth.

RING RING

(Vegas) Hello?

(Gun) Vegas! How are you doing?

I stop brushing my teeth. He just asked me how I'm doing and he sounded happy asking. What's going on?

(Vegas) Pa? I'm doing good, is something going on?

(Gun) Vegas we're gonna be rich!

(Vegas) We already are tho?

(Gun) Richer, than we already are then! Mr. Saengtham just signed a contract, We gonna get half of the money he makes from his company. Soon we'll take the company from him. We're so close.

(Vegas) wait wait. He just signed the contract? Does he get something from your company too?

(Gun) Nope, he gets nothing from my company.

Is Mr. Saengtham dumb? Who just signs a contract about getting half of the money you make in your company expecting nothing in return? You know whatever at least we getting money.

(Gun) Vegas soon you'll be able to ditch that dipstick you married. I forgot his name it's not like it's important though.

(Vegas) Are you talking about Pete?

(Gun) yes, that kid. You'll get to leave him once I steal the company from Mr. Saengtham. You can even go back to that girl. What was her name? Mai? Something like that.

(Vegas) her name is Tai. You know what dad I forgot I have to do something. I'll call you later. Bye

I hung up. My dad who I thought hated Tai is telling me I can go back to her. I also thought he loved Pete. Turns out he doesn't even know his name. The good thing is that the whole fake marriage can end soon and Tai, me, and even Macau can finally live together in a nice house in the United States. I smiled at the thought. Seeing my family all together is exciting.

PETES POV

I woke up around 6:20 am. I picked my head up and looked around the room. Where's Vegas? I get out of bed and look around the room for Vegas but he's nowhere to be found.

"Vegas?" I called out
"Vegas where are you?"

"I'm right here" I turned around and saw Vegas come out of the bathroom. I forgot there was a bathroom in the room. Vegas came out with just a towel around his waist and his hair was still wet. Holy shit. My heart started beating fast when Vegas started walking closer to me. What's this feeling? Why am I feeling it? Vegas came up to me and put his hand on my forehead

"Are you ok?" He asked

"Yeah, I'm fine. Totally. Why do you ask" I say nervously.

"Your cheeks are really red. I thought you had a fever or something" he said taking his hand off my forehead. Cheeks? Red? AM I BLUSHING? no no no this can't be it. Have I fallen for Vegas? No, I can't like him I mean he like Tai. What are you getting yourself into Pete...

"Go change we're going out for breakfast," Vegas said. I lowkey want to go back to sleep.  It's still dark out, but I guess I can shower.

I picked up my bag and brought It to the bathroom with me. I did all my morning stuff brushing my teeth, skin care, showering, and moistening. Now to pick clothes to wear. Maybe I'll go in jeans and a baggy shirt. It's just breakfast I don't have to go all out. I picked out my jeans and pulled out a random shirt.
