Contract Marriage

Chapter 1: Marry to Help Someone?!

Ingrid was walking down the lonely streets at night... and stopped by when she saw a bridge...

"i need to cool myself down, and this breeze is nice" she said her hair flowing through the breeze. When she looked to see around she saw a guy standing on the bridge's rails... "what is he doing?" she said then turned back to look the waters...

*SPLASH*

"Woah!" she said "Did that guy jump out?!" she said "I have to help him!" she said jumping onto the waters herself

*SPLASH*

"Where is he?!" she said. Water fill her mouth... "I...I can't- breathe" she said almost drowning... then she saw a man swimming towards her and there she lost consciousness...

'eh? i feel something soft and warm on my lips...what could it be...?' she thought.

"Mmm...." she said getting up

"Hm? It's good your awake" a guy said. "What happend?" she said "After all the things I did, i even gave you a CPR and that's all you tell me..." he said "WHAT?! You gave me a CPR?!" she said shocked.

"Didn't I just tell you that?" he said calmly. then she touched her lips and thought 'so that's why there was something soft and warm touched my lips... it was him!'

"E-er... thank you....?" she said tattering

"Yeah sure your welcome but..." he said "It was your fault my suicide attempt FAILED, Are you going to take responsibility for that?" he said in an angry tone.

"Responsibility?!" she said shocked of what she just heard. "You know what I'm saying, right?" he said. "Um, do you mean money? I don't... have any money... I'm actually deep in debt right now..." she said.

"I'm not talking about money!" he said again with his angry tone. "You're not? Then... are you trying to tell me you want... my body?" she said rather confused. 

"Close. I want you to marry me in return for ruining my attempt at suicide" he said calmly. "Wait, so you mean... Wait, marry?!  Ah... Ah... Achoo!" she said sneezing

"... You're hopeless" he said sighing. Suddenly, he grabbed my arm. "What?! Er..."

"Come with me." he said "Well, I won't go with you!" she said in her OWN angry tone. "You don't have any choice" he said "W-Why...?" she said a bit confused 

"Because I say so" he said calmly. 

"H-hey, wait! Where are we going...?" she asked. Even though i call out to him over his shoulder again and again, he refuses to answer me. I can't break free, and keep getting pulled along. I'm getting nervous about where he might be taking me. "Please, let me go!" she said 

"If I do, you'll try to escape, won't you?" he said "Sorry, but i can't do that" he continued.

We end up checking into at a nearby hotel, where he takes off his wet shirt. He pulls my arm and takes me in to the bathroom. "Um, w-what are we going to do?..." she said nervously.

"Take a bath, of course!" he said. He turns on the faucet, and before long the shower head is drenching us. "W-Wait! I'll go after you!" she said rather surprised of what's happening.

"You'll catch a cold if you stay wet like that" he said and continued "What's wrong with taking a bath together?" he said "Hey..." she said. He cuts off my weak protests by covering my mouth with his hot, wet lips.

"...N-No..." she said. Even though I try to push him away, he's too strong and he pins my arms behind me. "We kissed before, didn't we?" he said "What...?" she said shocked 

"CPR" he said. "T-That's not a kiss!" she protested. When I finally open my eyes, I see him soaked from the shower, water rolling down his bare chest. He looks... oddly sexy. and in my embarrassment, I look away from him. I'm soaked, just like he is... It's kind of uncomfortable with my wet clothes on. "Please, let me go..." she said. 

"Are you sure you can leave me alone now? I might still be thinking about killing myself." he said. He must be teasing me, or else he wouldn't be grinning like that. But, I couldn't judge if he truly was joking or not.

"Will you try to kill yourself again?" she asked sounding sad. "I haven't decided yet" he said and continues "What if I do?" he said. 

"Of course, I'll stop you..." he said. He smiles sadly at me. "Do you really mean it?" he asked.

"What?" she said surprised. "If so, then...?" he said. The bath is starting to get full, and he swiftly picks me up and tosses me into the tub with my clothes on. "Hey!...W-What are you doing?!" she said rather surprised or mad. "Now you don'y have to worry about catching a cold!" he said

"...What?!" she said surprised "So? will you still stop me is i try to kill myself again?" he said.

"I-If you really mean it... I will try to stop you, even though you're acting like this to me!" she blurted out. His eyes widen a bit when he hears the desperation in my voice. "Then, you should stay with me to keep me from doing it." he said

"What?" she protested. "You said that... you'd take responsibility and look after me, didn't you?" he said grabbing my arm, he pulls me out of the bathtub. Then we left the bathroom.
