       I woke up with a pounding head. I shoved the palms of my hands into my eyelids. Oh my gosh why did morning have to come so early and be so bright? I had a splitting headache. What happened last night? Honestly i had no clue. I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.

       What was the last thing i remembered? Dancing at the wild horse. Yes. My best friends were the greatest. After i quit my job i was kind of in the dumps. But i swear if you knew what happened you'd probably do the same thing. "Oh my goodness J it's time. They are finally going to promote you!" Said Maggie my coworker. "You don't know that!" I said. "Of course i do, we all do. Were not even mad. You are that good of a designer and i think Hal knows that. I think he knows if he screws this up you'll just start your own line." Said Maggie.

       "Well you are right, but Hal is a huge jerk. He's always telling me to wear a lower cut top or a short skirt. I mean that is not the point. I just want to make beautiful clothes." I said. It was true i didn't like my boss but my designs were in stores. It was the least i could hope for. I know we joked all the time that I'd start my own line but let's be real here. That's not cheap! Hal walked in. "Ladies and Gent's it's finally the time you've all been waiting for! Candy, get up here you sweet thang you. I'd like to introduce you all to the new director of fashion." People gasped and applause smattered around the room.

        After working for this tramp for a week i knew i had to quit. She had terrible ideas!! She thought doing an all hot pink line was the way to  go. We were instructed to all use hot pink. And huge huge rhinestones. Then she at the last minute had a vision. Of camo. She was going to tank this line. When i told my boss that i was quitting he looked scared. He realized he was losing a good person. But he made the choice. He forced my hand.

       I rolled over groaning. What the heck did i do last night? Did i drink? I don't drink. Could somebody please turn down the sun!? Oh right, i forgot to mention my boyfriend of eight months broke up with me. So My besties took me to Nashville. We wanted to hit up a concert at the Grand Ol Opry. Hunter Hayes was playing. 

       After the concert went to the wild horse saloon. We had a great time dancing and Hunter came in. What a wild night it was. But this doesn't explain why the sun is trying to kill me. Or why it's taking me so long to remember what happened.

       There was a jerk trying to order me a drink. "Fine I'll take a Soda, Dr Pepper." I said hopping he'd take the hint and leave me alone. "I'll take a dr pepper." Said a voice beside me. I turned. "Here you can have mine." I said smiling and handing it to...Hunter... "Oh, hi!" I said. "Hey, i saw you at the concert right?" He asked taking a sip. Another Soda was handed to me. "You did, by the way it was an amazing show!" I said.

       "Why thank you." I took a sip of the soda. "Hey buddy why don't you go head and get lost me and this fine thang are about to take a spin on the dance floor." Said Soda jerk. "Actually i was going to ask her to dance, i hope you don't mind buddy!" He said patting his shoulder as he led me out to the dance floor. "Thank you for that. I'm Jessica." "No problem, guy seemed Majorly creepy." He said.

       Then it gets fuzzy. I think we danced? Talked? Laughed even. Then he offered to take me home. Thank goodness because i think that creepy guy put something in my drink. I sat up in the bed trying to get my bearings.  Hm, did we stay in a different hotel? "Hey gabby." I turned. Okay you're not Gabby.

       I needed my phone to call Gabby if she could come get me i could leave before my mystery hook up woke up. I finally found my phone sitting next to a marriage certificate. I picked it up and saw my name. Woah hold the phone. Did i get married last night!? When did that happen!? Now that's one thing i don't remember. I mean i think i'd remember my wedding. Shoot. My mystery hook up was now my husband. Take a deep breath, you can get an annulment, it's going to be fine.

       I walked over to the bed. "Ah excuse me sir, yea...I'm gonna need you to wake up." I said. "Oh my gosh i think i was hit by a train." The guy said rolling over. "HUNTER!?" I gasped. "Yea? You don't have to yell. My head is splitting." Said Hunter. "Mine too, but we got married last night." I said frowning.

      Hunter laughed. "Um no, we did not get married last night. Nope. We danced and i took you back to your hotel." He said. "Then why am i here? Wearing your shirt?" I asked. "Oh look at that, you are." His eyes grazed my body and i felt naked. I crossed my arms over my chest.

       He cleared his throat. "Sorry." "I'm not joking." I held the marriage certificate out to him. He looked at it. "Holy Crap!" He jumped out of bed. "Where is my phone, this is bad. I have to call my publicist. He'll know what to do." "You do that I'm gonna call my friends and let them know. I'm sure they're worried." I finally could look my phone. "Okay you call I'll start breakfast. I'll call him as soon as were done, to be honest i need a minute to process this." He said.

       There were dozens of missed calls and messages. I dialed Gabby's number. "Heey you...where are you? Did you go home with that guy you were dancing with? We got ready to leave and called you a few times. I was so worried about you!!" Gabby said. "Shoot yea, I'm sorry it's a long story." I said sighing. "Do tell." She said.

       "I got married last night." I said. She laughed. "Yea right, you'd never do anything so reckless. Unless you were drunk. You don't drink..." "I think that creep at the bar drugged me." I said. "Oh no, what a jerk. What, he drugged you so he could marry you!? That doesn't make any sense." She said. "No, look last night. That guy gave me a drugged rink. I gave it to the guy next to me. He gave me a second drink so me and the guy next to me were both drugged. Neither one of us was thinking clearly." I said. 

       "Whew, at least you didn't marry that jerk. You can get an annulment. So that's okay." She said thinking. "Yes but the thing is, that guy i danced with and left with and married was Hunter Hayes." I said. "Bahaha sure you did. You're so funny J." "I'm not joking. He came to the saloon after the concert and he recognized me from the show. He was trying to save me from that jerk." "Oh shoot. Okay look just take care of it. Call me when you get it settled." She said. "I will." I said. "Bye J, good luck." She said. I wasn't sure how long it took to get an annulment. Or if i even had to do it right now. I couldn't think straight still.

       I walked back into the kitchen. "Um do you know where my clothes are?" I asked. "No...we can find them though. You can shower while i finish breakfast." We looked in his room and found them in a corner. "Weird." I said. He laughed. "Those must've been some drugs." He said shaking his head and heading back to the kitchen. I jumped in the shower and the heat seemed to help clear my head.

       I still couldn't believe that i got married last night. I mean how often does a person do that? I mean get married without knowing it. Who really knew. All i know is that i only wanted to do that once. I was so mad that it was wasted. Now when i met mr right and he asked me "Have you been married before?" I'd have to say yes. And if i tell him why he'd laugh and think there was something wrong with me. And of course there must be.  I used Hunter's shampoo and body wash. I smelled excellent actually.

       Once i was dressed i headed into the kitchen. Hunter was cooking something on the stove. I took a seat at his table. "I never did get to tell you thank you for last night." "For what marrying you?" He asked laughing. "No, ha for keeping that creep away from me." I said. "Oh you don't have to thank me." He said. " I was just doing what any decent guy would do." "I know that, but if you hadn't you wouldn't be married to me right now." I said.

       "Well you got me there but i don't regret it. I would feel worse if i hadn't done anything. Did you get a hold of your friends?" He asked. "I did, they are waiting on us to resolve all this." I sighed laying my head on the table. "This is crazy!" "Yea it is, but we don't have to tell anybody." He said. "Oh please I'd be too embarrassed."
