After her last relationship ended badly, Alana was ready to give up on love and focus solely on her job. She thought she could until she met her brothers friend, Elijah Blake. Will Alana avoid the attraction she has with Elijah or start a new beginn...
The next morning we woke up and had breakfast on our own since the others had already left and started their day. We spent the rest of the morning in our room talking until we had to leave to get ready for our night out. The guys finished getting ready before the ladies so they left to go play poker at the casino to give us time to get ready for dinner. Lauren was taking a nap because she was still hungover from her night out with a guy she had met at the hotel bar the night before. Leaving Jade, Olivia, Kim, Leana, and I alone to get ready and talk about my date with Elijah.
"So how did it go last night?" asked Kim
"It went well, I had a really nice time."
"By that smile, I'd say you had a great time if you know what I mean." said Leana, helping me zip my dress
"No, we didn't go that far."
"Did you want it to go that far?" she asked
"No, okay maybe I did but the point is I had a good time."
"And that's all that matters." said Olivia fixing her mascara
We finished getting dressed and left to meet the guys for dinner.
"Alright after dinner we are going our separate ways, the maid of honor and best man have similar lists of what they have to do. First group back to the room, wins a spa day and losers have to dress as maids and do whatever the winners say. The losers also have to do a strip tease for the winners." said Lauren giving Elijah a wink.
She handed Elijah and I both lists of different activities we had to do.
"Take shots at four different clubs, take body shots off of a stranger, and dance on a stripper pole. Guys we got this, I can't wait to see you throw that ass in a circle Kim." Brandon said winking at Kim
"Boy please you better take some lessons while at the strip club. Ladies let's go so these fools have time to get prepared." she responded while giving him the finger
We were all waiting for our limos when Elijah whispered in my ear, "Just know if and only if we lose I'm dancing for you."
"Feeling scared?"
"No, never scared baby girl just know that win we win that ass will be mine." He said before giving me a kiss.
"Alright separate, you'll have enough time to do the nasty after we win and get our strip tease." yelled my brother before kissing Leana bye. We all went our separate ways and started our challenges. Most of the tasks were easy to complete and we were almost finished until we ran into the guys at a club. At that point we all had a few drinks in our systems and could care less about the challenge. We were all having fun and enjoying our selves walking down the strip not having a care in the world. If only we know our night of fun could cause a major change in our lives.
I woke up the next morning with an arm wrapped around my waist and something hard pressed on my back side. It took me a minute to realize where I was and who I was with but scared the hell out of myself when I realized that not only was I naked in bed but so was Elijah. To make matters worst we had wedding bands on our fingers and I found a marriage certificate in my purse with our signatures along with my brothers and Leanna's.

"What happened last night?" we asked looking at each other
"I'm gonna take a shower." I grabbed the sheet to cover myself and walked towards the bathroom
"You do realize we most likely had sex last night, which means I've seen you naked and that you have nothing to hide right."
"I realize that, it's just really cold in here." I said trying to shrug off my embarrassment.
"Mhmm, I'm going to see if your brother is up and ask if he remembers anything." He got out of bed and threw on a pair of shorts as well as a t-shirt. I couldn't help but stare at him as he did, if we were really married I lucked out and got an attractive husband that was very well blessed.
While I was taking my shower, I tried to recount things that happened last night and how we ended up married. The last thing I remember was us running into the guys at the strip club and going blank after Elijah kissed me inside of the hotel lobby. I was finishing getting dressed when Leana walked in.
"You're not the only one that got married last night."she showed me her hand and the wedding certificate.
"My mother is going to kill us, and then bring us back to life so that your mother can kill us and then bring us back again to yell at us and kill us again."
" I don't remember much. Do you remember anything?"
"All I remember is Elijah and I kissing in the lobby everything blanks from there."
"Did you two?" she asked giving me a look that let me know that she was talking about sex
"Yes."
"Are you sure? A lot of people get naked and pass out when they are drunk."
"I'm pretty sure we had sex by the condom wrapper I found, how sore I am down there and don't get me started on the limp that I have."
"Dick was that good and you can't remember it. Damn, have you two talked about what you're going to do?"
"I remember some of that but nothing before us coming into the room. It's like I blanked for an entire moment of my life. No we haven't talked yet, he went to talk with Aiden to see if he could remember anything that happened."
"This has been one hell of a weekend, but Alana maybe this was a sign."
"It didn't have to be that extreme."
"I know but Elijah isn't a bad guy, so give this marriage thing a chance before giving up on it."
"I'll think about it."
The rest of the morning we dealt with the aftermath of last nights events. Brandon and Kim left before any of the craziness happened with Liz and Alonzo, so our only hope was Lauren. But she left to go upstairs before any of us made it to the room. Since our flight was scheduled for the evening we spent the afternoon packing and thought of ways to explain to our parents what happened.
We decided to not tell them about Elijah and I's marriage until we were both sure on what we wanted to do. Since Leanna and Aiden's wedding was less than two weeks away everything would still go as planned. While packing Elijah and I had time to talk it was awkward at first but we came up with a plan to stay married for one year. After that year was over if we still wanted to be married to one another we would and have a real wedding with our families. If we didn't we would get a divorce, kinda like Married at First Sight but we knew about each other and had a history. We also decided that we would tell our parents about our marriage after my brothers wedding. It made sense to tell them that we'd been secretly dating for a while and decided to get married, not all a lie but it would work.
I just hope that everything goes smoothly when we do tell them, but with my luck that's probably not going to happen.
