Before Vinnie could get her senses back,undo the seat belt,unlock the door and get out,Michael was already behind the steering wheel.
He placed the shopping bags,which he had taken from her hands when he lifted her off her feet and onto his shoulder,on the back seat.
He clicked open the compartment under the dash board and started pulling something out.Vinnie was scared,it could be a gun or a knife!
What came out was a writing pad and a pen.
Vinnie sighed with relief,letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Michael turned in his seat.Facing Vinnie,he took her hand in his and slipped the ring which she had refused to take before,in her ring finger.
"Let me go!",Vinnie demanded.
"You have to listen to me first,then I will let you go."Michael said seriously,still holding her hand.
"I will never marry you!"Vinnie said anger visible in her tone.
"I can't let her suffer anymore. We just have to remain married for one month,by then grandma would have her liver transplanted and she would be healthy again." Michael said emotionally.
Vinnie didn't know how to respond,so she remained silent.
"How much harm will it do to you to save someone's life?"Michael asked Vinnie,looking directly in her eyes.
"If you have asked me for money I would have gladly given you that,but you are asking me to marry you!That's a completely different thing." Vinnie reasoned.
"I know I am being selfish but that's the only way grandma will agree for the operation." Michael said.
When Vinnie could not think of any other suitable reply,she said,"I will tell you tomorrow, after discussing it with my best friend,Anna."
" No please,you have to make your decision now!
Why don't you understand,her condition is worsening by the day."Michael pleaded.
"This is marriage we are talking about,it's a very serious thing!I can't make my decision just like that." Vinnie said
"It's not like you have to marry me for real,we can even make rules and set limits,if it will make you comfortable." Michael said,tapping the pad with the pen.
"What do you mean?"Vinnie asked confused.
"We can make a contract,you know,write down some clauses and seal the agreement with our signatures." Michael tried explaining.
"Oh!but...",Vinnie started saying something but Michael interrupted her," Let me help you here,"he said,"where would you like to go on your honeymoon,honey?"
"Honeymoon!" Vinnie exclaimed, surprise evident on her face.
"Yes,of course,honeymoon after wedding is must.I don't know about your parents but my family would think it very inappropriate if we don't go.You can choose the destination.You get to buy anything you ..." Before Michael could finish his sentence,Vinnie said,"Switzerland. "
Michael gave her an amused smile and  Vinnie  blushed.
This could be her chance to have a vacation where her parents wouldn't ruin it for her,there would be no one to stop her,she would have complete freedom and...,"Hey,you are not listening to me." Michael complained,breaking her train of thoughts.
"Huh?" Vinnie asked confused.
"I was saying,is there something important you want to state in this agreement." Michael said and seeing Vinnie's expression added,"Already fantasizing about our honeymoon,baby?"
This caused Vinnie to blush even more which made Michael laugh heartily.
He did not look like a psycho at all,in fact he looked very handsome when he laughed like that,Vinnie wondered how his face would feel under her palm,then slapped her self mentally,"There would be no intimacy of any type between us."
"Umm...we will have to make some body contact when they are around or our families would find it suspicious, don't you think?" Michael asked  and Vinnie realized that she had said that aloud.
This time she turned crimson red from embarrassment.Michael was about to tease her again,when suddenly his phone rang stopping him.
