I now pronounce you husband and wife

In sickness and in health

Alaina's POV

I woke up to the noise of a car or some vehicle starting.I woke up to see my surroundings.It looked unfamiliar.The windows with the curtains swaying.It was around mid-afternoon by the position of the sunlight pouring in through the windows.

I decided to get up but then I noticed a hand around my waist.I tried to get up but it was too strong.I followed the hand and saw it was Brad's hand.he was sleeping on his back .He looked so innocent unlike the cold persona he portrays.I somehow removed his hand from my waist and went to the washroom to throw up.I guess I overdid last night.Apparently my hurling was too loud that suddenly i felt Brad holding my hair out of my face .

"You should go.You don't have to see this .I'm fine."

"NO.",He said loudly finishing the argument.

When I was done and i brushed my teeth.He carried me to the bed and covered me with the blanket.Its then I noticed he was just in his boxers.Thank god i was pale enough not to show my redness in the cheeks.

"where are we?"

"After you got drunk .I booked a room above the bar .Its also a motel."

"So we are not leaving?"

"Nope.Not until you get well.Are you hungry?"

"Nope."

"You should eat something or you will get dehydrated.And I'm not listening to anything."

He dressed and went down to get something to eat for us.I fell asleep.I remember being woken by someone gently shaking me.

"Al,wake up.I have got chicken soup for you and some medicines.",he said looking like a mother telling a child to eat his dinner.

I tried to get up but I couldn't. So he arranged the pillow for me and fed me literally without giving me a stink eye once at all or laughing at me.

"bet,you didn't include babysitting your contractual wife on your fake honeymoon.",i said.

"Actually i did the same when Ade used to be ill.She was such a brat .She would only eat from my hands or dad's.",he said rolling his eyes and feeding me too side by side.

"Besides,its going in our favor.",he winked.

"What do you mean?",i asked curiously.

"Well,the cashier came to know my real name after she checked my credit card.Don't worry I tipped her 100 euros to not say anything.She thought you are having morning sickness.",he said smiling.

"WHAT?",i asked shocked.

"Yeah,We are married.Remember.I know she will tell her friends she saw us ,not the press but I don't see any harm in them assuming we are a loving couple.",he said like it was nothing.

"So that's what it all matters to you.What people think of you bringing to soup to your wife unless it brings profit to you.Thought like a true business man.",i said pissed.

"ALaina ,you are not getting what i'm saying.",he said looking seriously at me.

"Look,i'm full.I think I should go to sleep but thanks a lot for taking care of me.",i said patting him on his back and i went to sleep covering my head with the blanket.

I awoke at 4 in the afternoon feeling much better and I decided to ask Brad to leave from here to the hotel at least I could hide there.Its hard to hide here with only a room and a bed.I wont hide that I was sad that Brad had a reason for his affections too.I know that he wont cross rivers and mountains and all that stuff for me but a little affection or actual feeling for me would be nice considering he was last night busy in proving the real Brad was not a jerk.Well at least he didn't flinch when i puked and left me in some town in Ireland to clean my own puke and come back.I will take whatever i get.I showered  and changed my clothes.Since I didn't want to smell like vomit.I wore a grey cardigan and jeans.Since I wasn't interested in looking Mrs. Carter today.

I found Brad down at the bar  below sitting on a bar stool drinking beer  and some girl sitting beside him talking to him.As soon as I reached him.I found the girl telling him,"Well,if you are feeling sad,I can take care of it.",she winked at him and gave him  a  smile.

Before Brad could say anything.I fake coughed and he looked at me ."Well Brad if you are not too busy telling your problems to agony aunts here .I think we should pack and leave.",i said and didn't look at him before I went up to pack my remaining things and try not to cry.God,Why was I crying.It's not like we have some relationship except on the paper.I heard Brad enter.

"Alaina,its not what it looks like.",he said in a low voice.

"It's none of my business.You can sleep with her for all I care.I just want to go back to the hotel.I don't want to inconvenience you more than necessary.",i said busy packing and trying to stop my tears.

"Alaina.."

Before he could say anything to me.I decided to  exit from the room but before I could.He grabbed my arms."Alaina,Stop running away every time I try to talk to you.",he said gritting his teeth.

"i am not running.I just don't want to talk to you.",i said trying to get away from him but his grip was strong.

"Well too bad.You don't have a choice.That girl you saw talking was actually owns a car rental agency and i was trying to get a car from her on rent without us telling her our real identities."

"I dont care.You dont have to tell me anything.",I said and ran away from him to the bar to drown my sorrows.Unfortunately this time in virgin margaritas and mocktails.
