Our Risky Choice

Chapter 2

"Thanks." I said. I got up and gave her a hug. Then I left. How am I going to tell my guys about this? They didn't even know I did this. Only one of my guys and that was my best friend. I can't believe it. I am getting married to a stranger in one week.

I took my bike back to my place. I am going to tell my guys and their families tomorrow. I just need to think about how to tell them. But tonight I am telling my best friend Nabu. I am going over to his family place for dinner. It is a new tradition we started.

I headed to Nabu's parents place. When I got there I knocked on the door. Nabu was the one who answered it.

"Hey man. Come on it." He said letting me in.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Nothing much." He said to me.

"Is that Riven?" I heard from the hallway.

"Yes mom." Nabu said.

"Hi." I said. We walked to the kitchen.

"Riven, happy you could make it." Zara said to me.

"Thanks for having me Zara." I said to her.

"You know you are always welcome here. You are family." She said to me.

"I know." I said.

"Hey Riven. What's going on?" Yves said standing at the door to the kitchen.

"Hey Yves." I said.

"What have you been up to Riven?" Yves asked me.

"Well I do have some news. Nabu, remember that thing I was doing." I said.

"Yeah, the one who try to help find love." Nabu said.

"What is he talking about?" Zara said to me.

"Well.... I signed up for this experiment to find love. These experts partner me up with someone. I tell them what I was looking for and everything. Then they try to find me a match." I said.

"Okay. Where is the but?" Zara looked at me. "There is always a but with you." She said.

"You know me. So they found me a match. But I am getting married in one week to a stranger. I won't know who she is until the altar." I told them.

"So you know nothing about her?" Zara asked me.

"That is right." I told her.

"Okay. Well we better be invited." Zara said to me.

"Always." I told her.

"So have you told the rest of the gang yet?" Nabu asked me.

"No. I am telling them tomorrow." I told them.

I had a great time with them. Now it is the next day and I am hanging out with my friends. I am going to tell them about everything. I walked up to Roxy, Layla, Mirta, Krystal, Sky, Brandon, Thoren, Helia, Nabu, and all their parents.

"Hey Riven." Roxy said to me.

"Hey guys." I said.

"What is up with the family meeting?" Layla asked me.

"Well, I have so news. I am going to get married to a stranger in one week." I told them.

"What?" Brandon asked me shocked.

"What you didn't understand me?" I asked him.

"I heard you. But I wanted to make sure I heard you right." He said to me.

"Did you hear me say 'I am going to get married to a stranger in one week.'?" I asked him.

"Yeah that is what I heard." Brandon said.

"Congrats man." Sky said.

"Thanks guys. I want all you to be there. You are my family. So you guys are all invited. Guys, I want you to be my groom mans." I told them.

"Dude congrats. We will be there. We will be honored to be your groom mans. But I have to ask. Who will be your best man?" Thoren asked me.

"Who else. Nabu. Of course. You should have seen that coming." Mirta said.

*Musa's POV*

So I went to my father's place for dinner. There I asked everyone to come so I can tell them all at once. I got the house and walked into see my father cooking dinner.

"Hi father. Do you need some help?" I asked him.

"Can you set the table? Everyone is coming." He asked me.

"Okay." I said. I set the table. Then I heard a knock. Everyone was coming. When Bloom, Tecna, Flora, Stella, Daphne, Timmy, and Roy got here. We sat down to eat. We were eating and talking.

"Okay. Everyone I have some news." I said to them.

"What is it Musa?" Bloom asked.

"Well, I don't know how to tell you guys this. So I am just going to say it. I am going to get married in one week to a complete stranger." I told them all.

"Is this from the experiment you signed up for?" Stella asked me.

"Yeah. They found me a match. I probably know your guys number one question. I don't know anything about the guy. I will meet him the first time at the altar." I told them.

"So what is this experiment all about?" My father asked me.

"Well I get married to the guy the experts matched me with. I will go on a honeymoon with him and I live with him. Go through the marriage for a year. Then at the end we get to decide to stay together or get a divorce. All this is real." I explained to them.

"We then. We have to get you a dress and us girls bridesmaids dress. Also plan a wedding all in one week. Are you kidding me?" Stella said.

"Stella calm down. They plan everything for me. I tell them the colors I want and they do it all. I have to just get dresses. So will you girls be my bridesmaids?" I asked them.

"Of course." My girls said unison.

"So I need to know. Who is going to be your maid of honor?" Stella asked.

"Wow that is hard course. But....."
