What did we do?

Welcome to my new place?

                "I can't do this." I said. "Look I'd never ask you to do anything you didn't want to do. Okay, well i guess i kind of am.  But if you go home we'll never get the annulment. And people will follow you and hound you. If we are so in love why are you there? Why am i here? We're gonna look stupid especially if people find out we got married and just couldn't undo it." He said. I nodded. "I guess you have a point." I started crying. I buried my face in my hands. "Hey hey, no. Please don't cry." He wrapped me in my arms. "Look i want to tell you just to go home and that we'll figure this out. But the judge is going to watch us closely. And now that this is out in the magazines it's only a matter of time before your family sees it. If you go home it might look weird." He said.

               "I just hate this. I don't wanna be doing this! How did my life turn into such crap!?" I pounded my fist on the table. "I feel really bad." Hunter frowned. "No you don't have to. It was literally neither of our faults." I said. "I'd like to get my hands on that guys neck though." He said grinding his teeth. "You and me both! So we still have to go home, I need all my stuff." "Okay, i think i can spare some time to go." He said. "No i couldn't ask that you're busy." I said. "Well how are ya gonna get home? You don't have a car." He said. "Oh...i guess that's true. It'll give me a minute to get thing sorted.  I'll have to get a job." "Well we're married now so mi casa is sue casa.." "Look shouldn't i pay something?" I ask. "Why? You're having to pretend to be my wife so it's the least i can do." And he didn't say what we were both thinking: He could afford it, i could not.

      " I just don't even know what to do. I quit the fashion label I worked at for three years. Part of me thinks that was stupid. But i know i was standing up for my values. Where do I even go now? I have to start over. "Maybe you should start your own line." Hunter said. "Do you know how much money that cost's? No way could I afford it." "Then I'll give you the money." "Didn't you hear me earlier? I don't want your money!" I said.

                "It's a thank you. When all this is over you can go back home. But you were right earlier, you'll always be 'hunters ex wife' fans can be mean they'll say it was your fault and it'll take a while for this to blow over. And while your being my pretend wife you have to go with me to events and shows and act like you like me. I mean it's not going to be an easy task. And if you get a job around here it'd be for only a few months. Then you are back at the beginning. Ya know? Going home and once again starting over. So if you stay around here all day you'll be bored. But if you start your own line you can do that from there or from here." He said. I tapped my chin. "I'll think about it."

     "So now what?" He asked. "I don't know...i still want to find a way out of this But for now we should play twenty questions while were doing whatever were doing." I said. "Why?" He asked. "Because i don't know you. There's going to be some event, some interview and I'd hate for us to not know the answers. I mean not that they are interested in what i have to say, but if our lines ever cross it'll look fishy." "You're right, well welcome home." He said.

               "I've only got the one room with a bed." I saw another room?" I asked. "Yea it's my music room." He said. "Oh, well I'll take the couch then." "No you're the lady you should have the bed." He said. "I can't take your bed i wouldn't feel right." I said. "I'll take the couch." He said. "Does it pull out?" I asked. "No." He said. "That couch is tiny." I frowned. "Yea i know but I'm not here all that much. So..." "Well maybe we can just share the bed? I mean it's plenty big i won't even know your there." I said. "Sure i think we can make that work, and it won't be weird." He said. "Unless we end up snuggling again." I said a bit sheepish. "Yea you know i was wondering why i felt boobs in my back when i woke up this morning." I hit his arm and crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm so embarrassed you felt that." I said. "Yea kind of hard not to." He glanced down and back up at my eyes. I turned a bit red.  "And if we did what we think we did you probably got more than boobs in your back." I said. "Yea still upset i can't remember that." He said. I rolled my eyes.                    

                 "So I need to text my fiends your address so I can get my stuff." I held my phone out to him with an open text. "They wont like tell people will they, and they're not like some crazy fans?" "Gabby is cool. Taylor is crazy, she might try to touch you so just watch out for her." I said. "Touch me!? Should i be afraid?" "I have no clue." "Wait, did they say anything about me last night?" He asked. "OH when we were at the club? Yea they said that they thought you were totally into me or something stupid like that. But to be fair they thought you were 'just some guy i was dancing with' and not you know...you." I said.

                  "Yea?  why do you think i smiled at you and held your hand a bit longer at the show last night?" He asked. "Ha that so?" I asked. "Yes, and i have a confession to make. I might've overheard ya'll talking about how you were going to the wild horse saloon." "You followed us?" I asked smirking. "Well, i had nothing to do after the show so i figured i would just go and see what happened." "And we wound up married..." I said deadpanning. "Yea I'm real sorry about that." He said. "It's okay i just find it hard to believe that you of all people followed me to a club. You can have anybody you want." I rolled my eyes.

      "What you don't know your beautiful?" He asked. "No ,i guess not. I mean, i did just have a guy break up with me after only eight months." I said. "Well he's an idiot." He said I smiled. "Ya think?" "Totally, but only reason I can figure a guy would break up with a sweet girl like you is cause it wasn't meant to be." "That's what I said." Nodding in agreement. I asked about his last relationship and he told me about her. I talked a little about Brandon but I didn't really feel like sharing that with my husband. Real or not.

                There was a knock on the door followed by more. "I take it those would be your friends?" He asked. "Yea..." I said walking to the door.   I pulled it open. "Where's Hunter?" Taylor asked peering around me. "He's inside." I said stepping back to let them in. Gabby held out my suitcase. "We packed you up, so how long do you have to stay here? Your text was kinda vauge" She said. I mumbled three months. She chocked back a cough. "I'm sorry i must've misheard you i thought you said three months." "No you heard me correctly. The judge wouldn't let us dissolve this marriage." I said.

                  "Oh you are one lucky woman. You kiss him for me." Taylor said. "I'm not kissing him." I hissed. "You won't even kiss your husband what a shame. Aha it looks like you've already kissed him!" She ran past me into the living room grabbing the magazine off the table. "And from the looks of it you enjoyed it!"  Taylor said. "Look i had a cousin who got into drugs and he killed his brother. They blamed it on the drugs but after some investigation they sent him to prison for manslaughter. Because they claimed even though he was out of his mind he was still somewhat himself. I mean maybe on some level you were rebounding." Gabby said. "Look i honestly have no memory of last night after we shared that dance, and you know I'm not the irrational type." I said. "I know that's true, you won't even kiss him." Taylor said. "And if i did i wouldn't tell you..." I said getting annoyed.

                 Hunter walked into the room.  Taylor and Gabby ran to him squealing. "I take it you guys are fans." He said chuckling. "Totally. And i was thinking since you and Jessica aren't really married  you and I could make out or something. . "Taylor said. "He's married." Gabby hissed. "It's not real, whos gonna know?" She said smiling. "I'll know, knock it off." Gabby rolled her eyes. 

                 "We have to get going back on the road, you know home is far and we have to work." Gabby said. "I understand thanks for bringing my stuff. I'm sorry i have to bail on the rent, but it seems my hands are tied." I said. "Hey it's totally fine we understand. A girl i work with has been asking around about a place. She's no you, but she's nice enough." I wiped my eyes. "I'll miss you guys." I said. "You won't have time to miss us. We'll call and face time often." Said Taylor. "Good." I said holding my arms open for a hug. "We'll see you soon!" Said Gabby as her and Taylor ran into my arms.
