"Please, Please, Please, Des. Pleeeeease!!! I'll literally do anything!"
"So let me get this straight. You're asking me to marry you, just so you wouldn't have to marry some rich chic? " Desiree asked
He nodded.
"Come on Des, please! It's only for a few years! I swear we can get divorced after!Promise I'll make it up to you!"
"Fine, I'll agree. Only cause your my bestfriend. You owe me big time, Delfin. How 'bout this, if I agree, you'll go with me on a trip to... I dunno... Japan?" Desiree offered. Ice just looked at her weirdly
"Really, Des? Japan? You're gonna risk your freedom for a free trip to Japan?"
"What? Every cop needs a break! Besides, I'm gonna be married off to you, not some stranger, and it'll only be for a couple of years anyway. Deal?" she held out her hand
" Deal. " Ice shook it
