The Auction Night

Chapter Three

As I saw his face I couldn't breathe; vibrant but soul piercing, green, feline like eyes stared at me and his pink subtle kissable lips were molded into a smirk like he knew his effect on me and was taking delight in it. I tried to speak but my lips were not taking heed to my thoughts and remained firmly closed. 

"Amelie what is the problem? You look distressed." Aiden asked me in an amused tone and I had to gulp and shake my head to get back in control. 

"Nothing is wrong with me. I'm just suddenly tired and need to rest. " I said as I looked at his tousled black hair and sighed. I knew that if I stayed with him I would be damaged and beyond repair so I was praying that Amy wasn't just joking when she said she was going to come pick me up. It has always been her behavior to promise something without necessarily fulfilling it and this time I sincerely hope she wouldn't leave me hanging. I smiled politely at him and decided to close the door when he spoke. 

"oh I think I should mention the fact that my house is severely guarded by crossbred dogs that are very dangerous and have almost killed someone who tried to enter my home after I locked it. That's the only reason i have a gate so I wouldn't try to escape if I were you." he said with a wink before leaving my room and walking confidently towards the staircase. I watched him go and stood silently for three seconds before I remembered Amy. I rushed into my room and slammed the door then I brought out my phone and called her. She picked up after the third ring and I sighed in relief but before I could speak she did. 

"Amelie I'm sorry but I won't be able to make it and even if I did I can't get you out because he paid for you."

"don't bother coming again; it's okay I understand. Goodnight and see you soon." I said and cut the phone. He might of won this stage but I'll make sure I'm out of her before tomorrow  night. I said with a smile before removing my dress and shoe and getting into bed. 

I dreamt of myself sitting on the grass in a park while reading a beautiful book when suddenly I was woken by a large roar. I bolted out of the bed as fast as I could and shot out of my room like a bullet would shoot out of a pistol. I ran down the staircase and went straight to the kitchen for a drink of water. 

Since the time I almost died in a car accident during the rain, I have always been scared of it. Usually I cuddle with Amy or we watch movies to get my mind off it but she wasn't here so I didn't know what to do. I was too deep into my thought and was only drawn out of it when something was thrown at me. 

"what the...seriously? Before it was suddenly appearing now you want to play a game of who can toss better?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes at him and he just shrugged and sat on the island. 

"As much as I might like your idea I would prefer to do it with a properly dressed lady not one that is flashing her body parts to me. Though I must confess that I am not in the least concerned about your present look." he said while looking me up and down and I suddenly looked down and saw that I was indeed in my bra and panties. I Immediately tried to use my hands to cover myself but that only made him chuckle and point at my feet where a shirt lay. I picked up the shirt and wore it then I shyly looked at him embarrassed. 

I caught him staring back at me with such an intensity that could  burn anything and I involuntarily shivered. It was at that time thunder decided to make another appearance and I found myself hugging him desperately. When it was done I realized what I did and let go of him but not before I saw the bewildered look on his face. 

"since the storm won't be calming down for some time would you like to join me in the sitting room. I believe you won't be getting any sleep soon just as I won't." he said and I nodded my head, for once grateful for his offer.  

He escorted me out of the kitchen and to the said place and I took a sit beside  him. He put on the stereo and a nice slow song rolled out of it. The song made it possible for me to relax and put my mind off the storm and all that was going on around me. Without even knowing what I was doing I had begun to close my eye and nod along to the song. 

"I see the song is to your approval. I heard a voice whisper in my ear and I couldn't help the shiver of pleasure that ran down my body." I turned towards him and smiled gently. He looked into my eyes and then nodded. He held my shoulders and turned me towards him and opened his mouth to speak. 

"Amelie I bought you for the weekend because I need you to play a role as my wife. I can't explain everything but all you need to know is my family will be visiting me tomorrow and are looking forward to meet my wife. So till they go on Sunday I'll need you to be my wife."

As I heard him say that I began to laugh. Me? His wife? He had to be high. 

"Are you sure you're alright?" I asked him and he shook his head at me. 

"leave it to you to find such a dire situation comical. I meant everything I said. My family has reason to believe I'm married but something happened and now they want to visit me and my nonexistent wife. It is going to be a legal marriage of only one day and when we divorce I'll give you $500000 per month and a house as alimony." he said and my mouth gaped. 

"listen here Mr is there a need to get married? And won't your family know I'm not the one you were engaged to? "

"my family never really cares about my relationships and the last time they visited me was five years ago. As for the question about my fiancee, I could always say I broke up with her four years ago and married you last year. In fact the document made is of last year so it fits perfectly and hopefully they won't visit for another five years when I could say I divorced you because it wasn't working."

"Aiden you just answered my last question and not the first. Is there really a need for all this? I could just pretend to be your wife."

"you could but my family will find out because there will not be a legal document binding us. My father will search and investigate our relationship but I've already planned everything all you need to do is to sign the documents I give you."

"okay, I just have to sign it?"

"yes. Then from tomorrow you'll stay in my room with me and I'll show you around the house. It's only right that you know the house you've been living in for a year like the back of your hand."

"I can't stay with you!"

"sweetie you have no choice and sincerely you aren't my type so there's no need to be afraid I won't touch you." he said nonchalantly and I felt furious. Who needs to be his type any way? 

"so are you okay? Should I bring the files or you still have questions?" he asked and I sighed. 

"if this is going to work then we'll have to stay up tonight to know more about each other." I said giving in to his request and he grinned. 

"I don't mind that at all. Follow me to my office so that I can get the files that you'll sign." he said as he stood up and gave me his hand and I took it though one thought was lingering in my mind; am I sure I wasn't going to regret my decision later?
