Accidentally Married

“I am so exhausted,” Jessica said yawning as they left the park.

After eating in the food court they went on more rides but this time they restricted it to kiddie rides.

“So am I,” Xavier said continuing her yawn. She looked at him and they both burst out laughing.

“Why are you laughing?” Jessica asked in amusement

“Why are you laughing?” Xavier retorted.

The interaction became even funnier for both of them and the loud laughter continued. It was the first time in the two months they had known each other that such an exchange took place. They had never laughed with each other before

“I think we should just get takeout as neither of us would be able to cook anything for dinner I know I am exhausted, aren’t you? ” Jessica suggested.

Xavier snapped his head toward her in shock. This was the first time he heard her agree to forego cooking by herself for food from outside.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“What?” she asked as she saw his sudden head movement.

“So you can agree to order food from outside? I am even more shocked that you suggested it” he explained.

“I do eat take out but once in a while and since I’m here I might as well taste the local type of food”

“I’ll stop by at one of the restaurants that I researched earlier today and have them pack dinner for us,” Xavier said changing lanes.

“Okay then,” Jessica said relaxing into the chair.

“Are you planning to sleep and let me drive alone?” Xavier asked when he saw her get comfortable in the chair beside him.

“No,” she said in a low voice. “It’s just that I love sleeping in a car” she added in an explanation.

“Why?”

“No reason. Must I have a reason why I like something?” she asked.

“There is no rule like that. I just thought you might have a back story as to why you do that because it seemed like you usually do”

“Nope no back story just a girl in love with making her own meals”

“You can play whatever you want via Bluetooth or listen to the radio,” Xavier told her.

She nodded and connected her phone to the speaker. She did not have current music and only listened to old-school music. She played them and sang along while Xavier drove. The silence was encompassed by a series of songs that did not fit into the modern-day stream.

“We are here, do you want me to get whatever or would you come in with me?” Xavier asked as he pulled up into the driveway of the restaurant.

“I want to come in. I might get inspiration for the interior of mine” she told him as she undid her seat belt and opened the door.

They walked hand in hand. The happy couple’s facade was yet to be over. They still had a billion people who they were yet to convince. Xavier had gotten notifications of the pictures that people had uploaded of him at the amusement park.

“Wake up Jessica” a hand shook her out of her sleep. She stirred and turned away from the direction of the voice.

After they had gotten takeout they went ahead to have a lovely dinner and spoke about nothing and everything at length too late at night. She felt it was still too early and she considered this a vacation so why was he waking her up so early?

“Come on stand up. You were the one that said you want to exercise with me” he said turning to the direction she turned to.

“What time is it? Isn’t it too early to be out in the cold air exercising?” she asked trying to think of all the excuses she might be able to use to escape reality.

“It’s already a few minutes past six a. m. and I know that this is the best time to exercise” he responded.

“I did not bring any wears I can use to exercise” she replied happy that she had seen a valid excuse.

“That’s why I bought a series of new ones for you when I went out yesterday,” he said tapping her lightly.

“Oh my gosh,” she groaned as she reluctantly sat on the bed and narrowed her eyes at him. “I know I asked for this but can’t it wait till when we get back? I wanted to think of this as a vacation” she groaned trying to lay back down.

Before her head could touch the pillow Xavier’s thick large hands held her up right back and she groaned once more. “I brought this upon myself. No one else did this to me” she said in a fake cry voice.

“Go get changed so we can be back soon and you can get back to bed”

“Who sleeps after exercise?” she said opening her eyes fully to castigate him. There was no need she asked for it so she should not be complaining that he was doing it.

“I did not know which would fit so I got this,” Xavier said stuffing the shopping bag into her hand. She climbed down from the bed with the paper bag in hand and navigated to the bathroom.

She was impressed by the things he got and their quality. She however didn’t want to know how much he might have spent. If she did she might want to hang them up as decorative items and not wear them.

He got her size white almost perfectly and it made her think once again about the possibility of her having a one-sided crush on him. How could he who had barely seen them before think of her size and get it?

“I hope you like them?” Xavier called from outside the door when she spent a little more time than usual.

“Yes, I do. I just realized that I have no running shoes either” she said.

She was hoping that he didn’t get the shoes for her and that way she could skip out on exercise for the time being.

“I have some different sizes out here. Come out and choose one”
