Make You Feel Pretty(GxG)

Chapter One - Life Of Luxury

             ~ Quinn ~ 

I'm honestly not even sure how it happened.

I mean, it feels like one second I was working three jobs, struggling just to pay rent and then the next? The next I'm in a limousine engaged to a man offering to give me a life I had only ever dreamed of.

I also met him 72 hours ago.

Let me clear something up, I'm gay, so you can see how that makes this situation even more unbelievable...

It feels like a dream, like at any moment I could wake up and remember that things like this don't happen to people like me.

But apparently they do, because it just fucking did.

"So we're going to be living where again?" I ask Ashley (yes its a guy name too) who's sitting in the seat next to me. Oh, and he's also the man I'm marrying in exactly a week.

I seriously never thought I'd marry a man, not even because I'm gay but because, well, men.

"My family's mansion in Los Angeles." He says sounding just as shocked with this whole situation as I am.

You must be confused as to what's happening right now. So let me fill you in, I'm not a rich person, never have been. So you can imagine the struggles I've been facing when trying to go to college and start my own business.

A clothing line for all different types of women, big small, old young, classy risky, you get the point. It would be an all inclusive brand that caters to women's comfort and style.

But as you know, businesses take money and resources. I've never had either of those. So I was working as a bartender full time and taking online classes.

Yeah, it was a lot, but I have a dream, and I won't let anything stop me from achieving that dream.

Anyways, a few days ago this guy came into the bar I work at, Ashley. He was dressed in a nice suit wearing an expensive watch and tipped very generously. I thought he was hitting on me at first because he came in the night after asking for me again, but turns out he wanted to know more about me because he wanted to offer me a deal.

The kind of deal you only see in movies.

He offered me a full ride to whatever college I wanted, plus support and resources for my business. With one catch, I have to marry him, and don't worry he's also gay so it wasn't like that. His family is very famous, and very successful, meaning they put a lot of pressure on him to be perfect.

Or at least appear perfect to the outside world.

Since he's gay marrying a woman is a hard feat for him, but when he met me and heard my story he thought maybe he could do good by this awful situation he's in.

I'm definitely not complaining...

Last night after I agreed to his proposal, we signed some contracts and then got on a plane to California.

I live in Ohio. Or rather... did?

Now we are in a limousine on are way to his house, well, his family's billion dollar mansion. Okay maybe not billion, but it's fucking expensive.

"Just remember, my mom can be a bit of a bitch so don't take anything she says personal. My dad is your typical rich asshole and my siblings, well they're actually great so don't worry about them." He looks up as if he's trying to remember something else.

"Oh yeah, have you memorized our story? How we met and how in love we are?" His blue eyes look so nervous as he looks at me.

"Yeah, we met through one of your co-workers on a blind date five months ago, and ever since we've fallen more and more in love." We obviously came up with more details than that but I'm just trying to show him I remembered the general story.
