Lover

Chapter 6: Family Feud

How could I fuck up this much?! Nick LITERALLY says stay away from and now I'm married to the guy.
"This can't be real." I say.
"Looks real to me." He laughs off.
"No because we didn't mail a wedding license to the state."
"They did." He says.
"No they didn't." I say.
"Bet."
"Well let's go find out." I say.
"You don't have any clothes to wear." He points out. I look at him and notice he's wearing gym shorts.
"Give me your shorts."
"No." He smiles.
"James stop playing." I say and my voice cracks making him stop smiling.
He gives me his shorts and I have to make myself look not crazy before we head down to Taco Bell.
"Hey I have a question." I say to a worker.
"Yes?" They question taking in my appearance.
"When you get married here is it....legal?"
"Yes ma'am." She responds. "We know the couples are busy being in love so we actually mail the license in for them."
"And did you mail the one from last night?" I ask still with a slight hope they didn't.
"Of course."
"Thank you so much." James says putting his hand around me and leading me outside. I look at him sadly, the tears threatening to spill. "Let's go back to the hotel and we'll figure this all out ok?" He asks. I nod and he holds my hand leading me back to the hotel. We go into the suite and by that time the guys are up.
"Mr. and Mrs. Garoppolo!" George says loudly. "I cannot believe you guys!" He laughs.
"We did say we wanted to do something crazy, and to be fair it doesn't get crazier than a Taco Bell wedding at 3am in Vegas." I say finally laughing at the situation.
There's a knock on the door and my heart beats faster.
"Chill out I ordered us some breakfast." Ross says. James nods before going to the door.
"You son of a bitch!" I hear a loud thud before I see Nick and Joey. All the guys are quick to go and hold my brothers back but they're monsters.
"Stop!" I yell seeing James bleed from his nose after Joey finally lands a punch. "Joey stop it. Get off of him." I cry as I tug on him. I see James not even try to hit any of them back, he tries to dodge the punches and push them back. I pull one of Joeys arms and he pushes me back hard. Nick throws Kwon and Ross off and also launches himself at James who's still on the floor. This is a mess they're trying to kill him and I'm just crying, what a morning.
George and Kendrick are able to get them off of James and I kneel by him.
"Okay." He groans turning to his side "Maybe I should be afraid of them." He says before spitting some blood out.
"James, I'm so sorry." I say as I reach to him and wipe the blood on his lip away.
"It's not your fault." He assures me.
"Get your shit we're going home now!" Nick yells at me.
"Don't talk to my wife like that!" James yells only making them angrier. They yell so many insults to him it breaks my heart.
"Oh yeah? Go ahead come hit me and watch me rip your fucking contract up with one phone call Bosa." James threatens. I turn to look at him knowing it was wrong.
"She's not going with you guys." George says. "Not alone, we all go back. Together."
I help James to the bathroom and find a first aid kit.
"Not exactly the honeymoon I had planned for us." He jokes.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.
"I'm not."
"James." I sigh as I get close to his face to put butterfly bandages on his nose.
"Call me Jimmy." He whispers. I look into his eyes for a second and shake my head.
"You're not making this easy."
"Marriage isn't easy." He points out making me laugh.
"You can't say things like that."
"C'mon we gotta have a laugh about it." He says as I finish cleaning his cuts. "Did you play doctor a lot?" He asks as he watches me diligently working.
"My brothers got in fights a lot." I say with a breathless laugh.
"They don't seem like the type." He laughs. "I'm sorry." He says noticing I wasn't laughing. He puts his hands on my waist and brings our foreheads together.
"We'll be alright." He assures.
"I'm not." I say bringing my head back. "You get to go home and not have to deal with them, I do. And my parents. Oh god they're probably going to want me back home."
"You're an adult, you don't have to go when they call you." He says.
"James you don't understand." I sigh as I dab alcohol on his eyebrow cut. "And I don't have my own place so I'm screwed."
"What's mine is yours." He smirks making me add more alcohol making him close his eyes tightly in pain. "You can't step me up like that." He defends himself.
"I'll just see how everything goes."
I go outside and Nick bought me Las Vegas pajamas that I have to wear so it looks like a gift shop threw up on me. I sit with Kendrick and Deebo on the plane hoping they'd distract me.
"It could have been worse you could've gotten matching face tattoos." He laughs.
"I wish." I say with a small smile.
"That ring does suit you." Kendrick says.
"It's a taco bell ring." I cringe.
We touchdown in San Jose where I have to get into Nicks car. James looks like he wants to walk to me, but Kwon grabs his arm.
"What was the ONE thing I asked you to do?" He asks.
"Nick please"
"What was it?" He loudly asks.
"To stay away from him." I quietly answer.
"And you go and marry him?"
"It was a stupid drunk mistake." I defend myself.
"I don't give a fuck. Do you know how embarrassing it is to find out my little sister got married to my quarterback in a fucking Taco Bell?!"
I ignore him for the rest of the drive home and go straight to my room.
I have so many calls from friends and ex classmates and I have reporters in my inbox wanting answers that I don't have. How could I be this stupid? Las Vegas should be illegal.
I want to call or text James but I don't have his number. I decide to text George.
Me: Hey George can I get James' number?
Georgie: you don't have the guys number and you married him anyway? QUEEN!
I roll my eyes at the screen and then he sends a number.
Me: What are we going to do?
James: Who is this?
Me: your wifey❤️
James: I love the sound of that (:
James: but I don't know, I mean I guess everyone is telling you to get the marriage annulled right?
Me: Yeah....
James: Should we tho👀
Me: ........yes
James: but I like being married.
Me: you're not funny.
James: you haven't even given me a chance princess.
Me: chance for what?
James: I like you Katherine.
Me: no you don't.
James: But...I married you.
Me: stoppppppp
James: I really do though, you're nice and sweet and kind of bitchy....what's not to like?
Me: you're an idiot
Now I'm smiling at the screen....ughhhhhhh.
James: tell me you didn't feel anything when we kissed.
James: Go ahead and lie.
James: I dare you.
Me: I felt your tongue
James: Katherine.... I know you felt it, everyone does.
Ugh he's so arrogant BUT HE IS RIGHT!
James: difference is I felt it too
Me: so what then?
James: give me a shot, if you hate me then you can divorce me (;
Me: so we're going to stay married?
James: for as long as we date.
Me: so two weeks? Until you get bored of me?
James: Oh honey I may bore you before you bore me.
Me: you're right, lets just get divorced now ;)
James: Ouch....you're the worst.
Me: and yet I'm your wife.
James: Wanna meet my parents?
Me:Aha ha....
James: C'mon they wanna meet my wife.
Me: when?
James: Tonight?
Me: I'll try, I'm on lockdown.
James: you're a grown up😐
James: I'll text you when I'm there be ready by 6
It's currently 3:45 I have time. I'll just have to figure out how to lie to Nick...
