Accidentally Married

“Wait,” Xavier said holding her hand before she could move to the couch. “We can share the bed,” he said trying to convince her.

He was not convinced either but there was no way he would make her sleep on the couch. He could not and did not want to do so either so they had to share.

“We have been sharing a bed so this should not be a problem” Xavier added.

“Yes we have but that bed is a queen-sized bed while this is something you see at dormitories” Jessica explained.

“I’m sure you can not fit into the bed alone. The bed would not be enough for you alone so I’ll take the couch and you can sleep on the bed” she added.

The recent turn of events made it more difficult fit her to be so close to him. She knew that if they were so close she would not be able to sleep and she would have improper thoughts all night.

“I’m sure we can find a way around it,” he told her. How could he allow her to sleep on the couch? “And if you insist that we can’t share then I guess you have to sleep on the bed while I take the couch” he added.

“I don’t think you would be able to sleep on the couch it’s too hard”

“And why does it make sense that the couch that might be uncomfortable for me would then be comfortable for you?” he asked her.

“I grew up in an orphanage home so I am used to uncomfortable situations. You on the other hand grew up in luxury I am pretty sure your back would ache you all day tomorrow if you sleep on the couch” she said.

“Okay, then we both sleep on the bed. I don’t want your back aching and you cursing me all day tomorrow because of this” he said pulling her hand.

“I can sleep facing this direction and you sleep facing the opposite direction that way we back each other and get a nice sleep,” he told her.

She sighed. She saw that he was determined to get her sleep on the bed and if they went on and on then they might argue about it all night and she might get annoyed so she agreed.

“Okay then” she replied wiggling her hand. “Can you free I need to change and get ready for bed” she told him when they tried and he made no effort to release his grip.

“Oh yes,” he said releasing her hand from his grip.

She went to her suitcase and pulled out her nightgown and every other thing she might need. Going into the bathroom she had a quick change and wiped down her face with the cleaner she brought along.

She came out of the bathroom and Xavier entered immediately. She climbed up into bed and covered herself up with a blanket. If she was going to be sharing such a small bed with him then she needed to ensure she fell asleep first.

She heard the bathroom door open and then close. She heard and sensed his hover above her and his sudden shifting.

“She’s asleep so fast?” he murmured and then turned to his side of the bed and climbed.

“I guess I should sleep too, ” he murmured.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jessica stirred in the bed continuously. Her body was waking her up but her mind wanted to rest since she was on something that seemed like a vacation. For what they would eat she can whip something up quickly before Xavier goes for the business deal.

They would most likely be leaving the premises by the next day so she was going to sleep in and then take a walk around later that day. Her body alarm did not fail her as she felt the urge to stand up. Frustrated she sighed and opened her eyes.

Her eyes flickered open for a moment and she saw Xavier’s face so close to hers. She admired his features. She agreed that if she had been approached by such a competent and handsome man she would have agreed to marry him.

“So beautiful” she murmured trying to stand up.

She was pulled back to the bed by a strong hand. Startled by the turn of events her eyes widened and met with Xavier’s eyes that came open.

“Whhh… aa… aa.. ttt are you doing?” she said when she found her voice.

“I thought you were admiring me so I wanted to allow you to do so” he replied.

Jessica burst out laughing. She could not believe that that was his answer.

“Why are you laughing?” he asked as he tightened his grip on her arm.

“I guess this is the longest time I have ever spent with you when I am on my right mind,” she said.

“That one time in the hospital does not count. I was sick” she said before he could say anything.

“And?” he asked closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before opening them again.

“I guess you are a little egoistic,” she said with a smile. “I mean if I had your face I would too” she added.

“Oh really?” he said.

“Yes I mean it’s easy to do so when you know how good you look” Jessica replied. She made an effort to stand up but was pulled back to the bed. “I need to go make breakfast”

“Well, I think you need to give yourself a little more credit than you already do. A lot of ladies spend millions on trying to get a face that is similar to yours”

“And how do you know that?”

“It’s always on the papers,” he said in a tone that showed she was supposed to know those facts.

“Well I don’t know about them but although I do not consider myself ugly I can’t boast of being gorgeous,” she told him and finally this time she was able to stand up successfully.

“Thank you,” she said standing up and packing her hair that had come loose while she slept.

“What do you want to do?” Xavier asked raising his head to look at her.

“Make breakfast. Or aren’t you interested in having a meal?”

“I am. I guess I should stand up to get ready to meet Ethan” he said when his phone beeped on the nightstand. He picked it up and read the text message on it.

“Oh my God,” he said as he read it.
