Rented Bride{on Hold}

Chapter 19:wedding eve.

I didn't tell Marcus anything about the contract. He seems to be close to the truth each time we talked.

Rodriguez doesn't seem to like Marcus one bit,and he makes it clear that he doesn't. He drags me away from him anytime he sees us together. Anytime the family eats together he glares at him each time he makes a joke that everyone laughs to and he gives him a challenging look.

It was a day to my wedding and we were meant to have a party before tomorrow. I don't why I'm suddenly feeling nervous. I've been through this far enough I can't back down now.

" Hey Bride to be" my mum came into my room.

" Hey mum." I smiled at her weakly

" what is honey?" She noticed.

" Nothing" I smiled even more and avoided her eye contact,going to my bed and sat at the edge, and she joined me.

" I know that smile." She held my chin to meet her gaze. " What's up" she held my hand.

I held the hand tightly.

" I don't know,I guess I'm just nervous about tomorrow." I am actually.

And after the wedding and Rodriguez gets what he wants we'll get a divorce and go out separate ways. Is it weird I'm okay being his wife.

" It normal to feel that way honey. " she said smiling.
" I remember my mum talking to me just like this. I was just as nervous." She continues.
" But honey what I'll tell you is when tomorrow comes and you see the one you love waiting at the alter for you. Trust me you'll forget everyone and everything else and you won't be nervous again. Every girl eventually gets married and I guess it your turn now honey. Being nervous only means you can't wait to be married and have him all to yourself." She wiggles her brows.

If only you knew mum.

" Thanks mum" I gave her a hug.

After a while mum left.

I stood staring at the body mirror I didn't notice the figure behind until it hugged me.

" What?!" I yelped as the surprise.

It was none other than Marcus.

" Marcus you can't scare me like that."

He was chuckling nonstop.

" Little girl all scared." He says between laughs.

" Marcus!!" I shouted pouting.

" Okay fine sorry. But it was funny."

" Whatever. Did you get it?" I asked.

" Yeah. " he held up my dinner gown.

" Great let me try it on." I grabbed the gown from him and headed to the closet to get dressed. It was a nude shade gown,length right above my knee. It was an off shoulder hand and it had a little slit. It held my curves perfect. There was only one problem. The zip wasn't fully done.

When I came out,Marcus was already dressed looking as handsome as ever. He wore his suit leaving the inner shirt buttons about three undone and he wore no tie.

" Wow..." We both started and laughed at our encounter.

" You look....wow." He breaths out.

" You don't look bad either." I said smiling.

I got my purse and I wore my heels and I nodded signalling him I'm ready.

" Shall we?" He said.

" Yeah" I held his arm.

And then I remembered.

" Marcus.." I whispered.

" Yeah?" He answers.

" My zipper. " I told him and he gave my back a look before pushing me into my room.
" it not even exposing..." He cut me off.

" Shh." He put his middle finger on my lips and shut me up. He pushed me to the standing mirror and stood behind me.
" It not cause of the zipper I freaked out." He says doing my zipper for me. The contact he had with my skin while doing my zipper made everywhere in me lighten up. It was like a shock.

What was happening? Why do you have to come back.

" Close your eyes." He says.

" Okay?" I closed them. And then I feel something cold touch my skin around my neck region.

" Open them" I opened my eyes and saw I was now wearing a chain with pendant white diamond.

" Wow." Was all I could say.

" I couldn't think of anything else to get you so I got this. " he said, feeling shy?
" Now let's go. Don't wanna be late to your Pre wedding now. If you late imagine your actual wedding." He chuckled nervously.

" Marcus, look at me" I said. Cause he was kinda avoiding eye contact.
" it beautiful, I love it" I said and stood on my tippy toes and gave him a hug and a peck on his cheek.

" Common now let's go" he smiled widely at me.

I was really nervous,cause this is like my wedding....more like get together before the wedding. But it felt like it. I was so nervous and I feel Marcus could sense it so he taps on my arm crossed against his and gave me a big smile. A beautiful one.

What no! Stop it.

I smiled too at him. Here goes.
The party wasn't bad as I thought it would be I had fun and all. Talking with family and friends. Soon to be family and friends too. I sat next to Lance and he hasn't given me any compliment since I saw him.

Some soon to be husband he turns out to be. I'm so angry. I mean, everyone through the night gave me a compliment. And he doesn't even seem to pay any attention at me. At all. I've been with him the whole night and we haven't even spoken. He introduces me to his friends, families, workers, business dealers but never once taken a good look at me. I mean what's his deal.

So here I am, bored as fuck. Seating next to my so called husband in 12 hours. I searched my phone for something fun but nothing. He seems to be having fun on his phone. I jus sat there hopeless. Hoping I would get a savior.

It was like the man upstairs gave me my savior right on cue.

" Care to dance Paris." Marcus came holding out a hand for me. He had taken off his suit. So he had only his shirt on.

I look over to Lance, but he doesn't seem to pay attention talk less of caring.

I give up.

" Sure why not." I took his hand. Dropped my purse and followed him to the dance floor.

Just then wild thoughts by Rihanna started playing.

" Should we take this dance slow or your style." Marcus said giving me a sly smirk.

I gotta have my fun. And Lance wasn't giving it. So why not.

" Uhhhh Duhhhh my style." I said before removing the pin that held my hair up straight and letting it fall on my shoulder.

This should be fun.......

Hey guys. I'm so sorry for the long wait. Finished my exams and it took me time to recover. Trust me wasn't easy.
