Strawberry shaped Love

Love Bites

~Next day~
I had gotten drunk by accident the night before and had apparently pinned Tobias to the bed and covered his chest and neck with love bites. How the hell did I get so reckless? How can I just throw myself on a person I don't know so well?!!

So here I was, accepting responsibility for my actions from the night before and concealearing the love bites I gave him.

"I had no idea you loved so fiercely." He teased.

"I DO NOT LOVE FIERCELY-"

"How do you love then?" He leaned forward. Oh my god..

"I-I'm not sure."

"So you agree you were trying to love me?"He grinned.

I poked him with the concealer stick.

"Aww was that supposed to hurt??"He laughed.

I intimidated him by pushing him flat onto the ruffled up bed sheets.

"If you don't shut your mouth, I'll stab your eyeballs." I pointed the stick at his eyes.

He chuckled and took my hand in his before kissing it.

"You look so pretty." He spoke in hushed tones. I smacked him.

"Didn't I tell you to stop talking?" I averted my gaze.

"Pretty. You are pretty." He smiled. I punched him once more.

"Pretty." When he said that, I raised my fist to punch him again.

"My pretty wife..."

My hand trembled as I noticed the dimples on his cheek.

Why did that one meaningless word cause my heart to flutter so violently?

Until he broke the silence once more.

"Do you like that? Do you like it when I call you my pretty wife?" I punched him again as he grinned. I stood up and tossed the concealer at him.

"Don't get too excited. This is only a temporary arrangement that will be broken once we return to land. At the end of it, you'll have divorced me-"

"And what if instead of divorcing you, I make you fall in love with me?"

My breathing became choppy. Memories of my ex resurfaced, causing me to stagger back. Me? Fall in love again?...That will not happen anytime soon.

"I'll do whatever you want me to do-"

"Marry me. If I win, please marry me for real." He gave me a raw smile. A real smile..

My arms were crossed over my chest.

"And what if I don't fall in love?" I asked. With a sigh, he looked up at the ceiling.

"I'll divorce you and never see you again..."

I bit my lower lip. Now, that's a little extreme.. Still, I took out a piece of paper and scribbled everything down before making him sign it. I also signed it.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you...Let us now seal the deal with a handshake." I extended my hand for him to shake, but instead he interlaced our hands and yanked me against him, and kissed me on the cheek.

"Sealed." He winked. My face felt hot, and I averted my gaze.

"N-Now, lie down. I need to finish applying the concealer." I indicated the bed.

"But what if I want it to be seen?" He grinned. I smacked him.

"Absolutely not." I yelled. Once I finished applying concealer to him, he laid down on the bed. I stared at him for a few minutes.
