                We had spent the day working on our prospective work related things.  It was feathers lot's of bright feathers. It was all patterned and gorgeous silks.  I had a color scheme that i was liking at the moment. Peacock colors. The two i had for sure was a black satin dress at the top with no sleeves and a satin/silk feather print pattern bottom that flowed down to your knees. And the dress i turned into a top with jeans.  We worked well into the day until I got up to make dinner.

                He came to offer his help with dinner. "You look stressed." He said. "Yea I am. I'm just thinking about our trip we have planned home i guess. It's going to be crazy." I said. He rubbed my shoulders and i rolled my neck. "Okay now that is nice." I said. "See, it's all going to be fine. We'll get through this together. Because only three people know this is a sham. And it may not be the best situation but we have to just make it work. And we'll get through this." He said still rubbing my shoulders. "Thank you." I said.

                                                                 *********************************

                We were eating dinner together at the table. "Well i guess i should call the girls since were going home, let them know I'm going to get my stuff." I said. "Do that, and put it on speaker." He suggested. I finished my few bites and then dialed. I mean they had to know this was coming. They were going to get a new roommate and my stuff had to go. 

                "Oh my gosh i was wondering when you were gonna call!! We wanted to call but didn't want to call you in case you were busy. Gabby phone it's Jessica." Taylor screamed. "Busy? Busy doing what?" I asked. "Oh girl if i were alone with that hunk of meat I'd be doing so many things. So i can only imagine what you two are doing." Said Taylor.

           "Hi, hunk of meat here." Hunter said laughing. "Sorry i couldn't resist." He whispered. "Oh my gosh hi, hello. hi. hey." Taylor said. "Wow that was smooth." Gabby said. "Oh, right...sorry." Said Taylor. "ANYways, i was calling to let you know that we were coming home next week to get my stuff and get my car. And to visit...my uh...parents." I finished.

                "Oh wow that's amazing well you guys are welcome to stay here in your old room. My coworker was waiting to see about your stuff first." Said Gabby. "You know, we might do that. Might be less weird then staying with my parents." I said. Hunter shrugged. "Well you guys are welcome here anytime you know that. And hunter can sleep with me. We can share the shower...wait...is he still there?" Taylor asked. "Hi." Hunter chimed in. "OK you gotta let me know when you put me on speaker phone so i can talk about your sexy husband." Taylor said. "No you need to go take a cold shower let me handle this." Gabby said.

                "When will Ya'll be in town?" She asked. "We are leaving This Friday gonna stay at his parents for a few days and we'll be there Monday." I said. "Great well we'll see you then." She said. "Sounds good. Time to call home. Wish me luck." "Yea totally good luck." Said Gabby. "Alright see you next week. Bye." "Bye" Gabby said and we hung up. I had told my parents we were thinking about coming but hadn't told them we would officially be coming.

                Hunter was laughing when i hung up. "Wow, your friends are a trip." He said. "I know and i can't believe they actually thought you and i would be doing stuff just because we are married." I shook my head. "Yea, i know right." He laughed. "Well Taylor would be trying stuff with you." I said. "Yea, i kinda got that. But we don't need to compliment things with feelings." He said. "Totally agree. Now let's just hope our family believes it." I said. "Oh don't forget we liked each other for a second we can so sell this!" He said smiling. I gushed. He did like me for a second. I should be flattered but i was just worried.

            "Why can't we just tell them the truth?" I asked. "No i for one am embarrassed for anybody to know we got accidentally married and now, we can't get unmarried." He pointed out. "Oh i didn't think of it that way i suppose you are right. Well it won't be hard we just hold hands and hug easy peasy." I said. "yea until somebody wants us to kiss." "I doubt they would ask. But we can do that." I waved him off. "Can we? What if my grandma says hey you guys kiss. Will you be be able to kiss me as if you do it every day?" He asked. "What? I don't know. I DON'T kiss you everyday" I said.

                "Exactly can you imagine the looks on there faces if we don't immediately kiss? Or you know it doesn't look natural." He said. "You have a point, maybe we should kiss." I said. "I think we should just so it's more natural. You know get the awkward out of the way." "Yea i got you." I said standing up. He stood up as well and walked over to me. "OK where should i put my hands?" He asked. "Wherever you want. Were married. there's no place off limits i guess i just i don't want you grabbing my butt in front of your grandma you know." I said. "Right, OK how about i put my hands around you and you do whatever." He said. He put his arms around me and pulled me to him.

                I felt a tingle in the pit of my stomach and my breath went out of my chest. I was hoping those feelings wouldn't be a problem. I pulled him down to meet me. His lips touched mine.

              I put my hands around his neck and he pulled my body to his. It fit perfectly. I didn't want to stop, and I didn't like that. But i wasn't sure how long his family would expect us to kiss. I guess making out would be weird so I pulled back. "That totally didn't seem weird, Right?" He asked breathlessly. "No totally normal." I agreed flushed.

                "Great well I'll give my mom a call now." I said pulling the phone from my pocket. My mom picked up on the third ring. "Oh I'm so glad you called me back! Your father and i are going to plan a trip to see you. I mean i haven't even gotten to meet my son in law." She said. "No need mom we are coming home for a few days." I said.

               "Well when I talked to you the other day you said you weren't sure." She said. "Well I talked to Hunter and we changed our minds." I said. "Okay, Well we need to invite everybody over to meet him." "Mom i don't think that's necessary." I said. "Why is there some reason you don't want everyone to meet him?" She asked. I sighed. "No, well it's just...he's famous and I don't want things to be weird." I said. "OK? Why can't they meet him?" She asked. "I just don't want people to freak out i want them to treat him like my husband. And i don't want any special treatment." I said.

                "Then they need to all come over. If you hide it it seems like you don't want to be normal." She said. "I guess your right. OK invite them over. We'll be there Monday and leave Wednesday." I said. "OK do you want your old room back?" She asked. "Maybe we'll stay with the girls?" I asked.

                "Whatever you want to do." She said. "OK thanks. Did you tell anybody yet?" I asked. "Well your dad and your sisters." I groaned I'm sure they laughed and thought this was weird or stupid, i don't know. "Oh it's fine, so you got married and didn't tell anybody it is what it is." She said. "I got a copy of your magazine. It was a beautiful spread." I groaned. "The one from my door I get it but, I didn't know about that." "How did you end up in a magazine and not know about it?" She asked. Good point. "You know they can get shots without me knowing. There's always people around Hunter. I'm gonna go it's getting late. I'll see you guys next week." I said. I hung up after she said good night.

                "Are you embarrassed of me or something?" Hunter asked coming over. "What? No. It's just i don't want my family to get to you." I said. "OK, well that sounds like you're embarrassed." He said. "No it's just if my family gets to know you they will like you. And then when we break up...you know it will be weird." "Right, and they might laugh at you because you can't keep a great guy like me." He said clearing his throat and smiling. "Yea OK." I rolled my eyes. "I'm gonna go shower." I said getting up from the couch.
