Wife for Hire

Chapter 5

(Jason)

I'd waited a good thirty minutes for her to come out of the bathroom, I had only been joking about us sleeping together. I was going to get changed and take her back to her room, I was only teasing her.

I walked over and knocked on the bathroom door. She didn't respond, gosh she couldn't take a joke, It's not like I wanted to sleep with her for all I knew she could snore and ruin my precious beauty sleep.

"Karmen, come out. I was just joking." I knocked again and she still hadn't responded. I was starting to get worried. I walked away from the door and grabbed my phone from the bedside table and called Derek.

"Hey dude,what's up?" I took a deep breath,

"Derek, I think she died of shock."

It wasn't long before Derek showed up in his pajamas looking worried.

"Where is she?" I took him upstairs to my room and over to the bathroom door. He looked between me and the door and shook his head.

"What did you do, you idiot?" I explained to him what had happened earlier that night and rubbed a hand through my hair. He responded with a smack to the head before starting to knock on the door.

"I already tried that doofus, she isn't responding. Should we call the police?" He shook his head and tried to coax her out of the bathroom, still no response.

"You think she's shocked because she saw how big I was?" He laughed.

"I think she's shocked because of how small you are." I punched him in the arm. He pulled his wallet out of his pocket and grabbed a credit card.

"You're going to pay her to come out, is a million dollars not enough for her?" He rolled his eyes and began jimmying the card between the door slot. After a little while the door swung open and we both saw her sitting on the ground with her head laying against the side of the tub and her eyes closed in a deep peaceful sleep.

"She was so bored with your package she fell asleep." I pushed Derek out of my room.

"Yeah yeah, thanks for getting the door open." He left and I sat there and stared at the girl I was calling my wife. This was going to be interesting.

(Karmen)

I screamed when I woke up. I had no idea where I was and it took me a minute to remember yesterday's events.

"What is it? What happened?" Jason was standing in the doorway of the room he'd shown me last night with a pillow in his hand. For some reason this made me laugh.

"Were you gonna smother my attacker to death?" He looked at the pillow then back at me.

"Be glad I even came." I rolled my eyes and then sighed remembering the things that happened the day before. I was still having a hard time believing it, but the wedding dress and the ring on my finger showed me that it was all real. I'd sold myself for money. I climbed out of bed and walked over to the bathroom.

"By the way, we have plans today, get dressed." I walked back out of my bathroom to look at him.

"No we don't. I have work." Jason looked at me and cocked his head to the side.

"Work?" I nodded.

"Yeah, work."

"I thought you stopped doing that." I looked at him confused.

"Why would I?" He shrugged and walked over to sit on the bed and frowned.

"Can't you just not go?" I shook my head. He didn't understand how having a job worked and he was supposed to be the heir to a company? How did expect to take over a company if he hadn't even gotten a job. No wonder he had all that time to go to wild parties and hook up with girls.
