Chapter 2 - I'm married?

The birds singing could be heard throughout the room. The sun was shining through but not enough to wake the sleeping beauty. A woman can be heard rustling on the bed trying not to be woken up. 

"It is time to wake up, honey. it's almost the afternoon" a soft low mans voice could be heard, blending in with the birds chirps. 

"Mhm, Where am I?" Elizabeth immediately voiced as she pulled the blanket up over her chest to asses the situation better. 

"Nothing happened, you threw up on your shirt while we were waiting for the elevator. your clothes are finishing drying in the dryer, there's food and ice coffee on the table and there's a fresh set of clothes in the closet to your right. I didn't know what you would have liked so I picked what I thought you might like." the handsome bartender said as he was closing the bedroom door so Elizabeth could get dressed. 

A little while later, Elizabeth came dressed in a white and teal ombré two piece, it was perfect for the warm spring weather. she was pleased to know that he knew her style. It made her blush while smiling. "It looks perfect on you, I'm glad I made the right decision" He said while motioning Elizabeth to sit down at the table.

"Thank you, everything is perfect but I don't even know your name." Elizabeth said shyly while sipping her ice coffee. 

"My name is Christian Sol, I'm working as a bartender for a while. I'm twenty-six years old. What's your name?" Christian said while placing down a plate of fresh bread. 

"Oh, I also love to cook" Christian said smiling while looking at the spread of breakfast foods.

Elizabeth chuckled as she reached for a vitamin hangover drink to remove her headache, she chugged the drink as she chased it down with her ice coffee.

"I am Elizabeth Romi. I am currently twenty-four years old and I was recently the CEO of the jewelry brand "Lysa" but I think I'll be terminated because of a recent situation, to no fault of mine. but for now I think I'll just be doing what I feel like doing." Elizabeth said as she stared straight into Christian eyes.

"I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, but it seems like you got somethings figured out. there's another thing I wanted to discuss with you, about last night, you um asked me to marry you. and I accepted." Christian said with a shy smile. 

Elizabeth was shocked she almost spit her coffee out, christian said he would understand if she changed her mind since she was drunk when she proposed but he said he would take her seriously anyway. 

"what do you get out of this deal?" Elizabeth cautiously asked as she took a bite of her diner-like breakfast.

"I get a beautiful wife and last night was the best night I had in a long time. I haven't had that much fun out on a date, or anything for that matter. I think I miss having the rush of that certain fun-like person, I miss having to look for someone while i'm on the way home. I would like to start a family. of course if you are willing to." Christian said as his face turned red. he tried to cover hid face but it was of no use.

"I think I'll take you up on that. but I tend to work long hours, rough hours. I could be inside my work room working straight for a few days while I'm planning, making, launching jewelry for the brand. of course, I'll have some free time in the beginning but it could change. I can also take you up on becoming a family, to warn you I have some family problems that you could not believe." Elizabeth said while reaching her hand out towards Christian to hold his hand. When Christian noticed Elizabeth's hand reached out he couldn't help to feel his heart skipping beats as he reached for her hand. 

after a while of holding hands, their food was getting cold so they awkwardly shoved the breakfast into their hands as they slowly started to get to know each other. After breakfast, Elizabeth and Christian headed down to the court house to get married, it didn't take long for them to get married and receive their marriage license, they took a photo to remember the memory. Christian snuck their marriage photo into his wallet while Elizabeth hid hers in-between her phone case. 

"Should we get some snacks for the apartment and other things we might need?" Christian as he took Elizabeth's hand in his. 

"Sure, we can do that. Do you think we can stop at a jewelry store too?" Elizabeth asked as she power walked to a jewelry store already.

"Sure" Christian said while keeping up the pace with Elizabeth. 

"Excuse me, I would like to see your wedding rings section for men and women, please." Elizabeth professionally asked the lady to show her some rings and how she would like the rings to be customized. Elizabeth was giving the jewelry clerk a hard time until Elizabeth came upon a set of wedding rings she couldn't believe she found and immediately bought them before Christian could say a word but when the jewelry clerk tried to pay for them using her credit card, Elizabeth was informed that the rings were already payed for by her husband. When Elizabeth heard another person call him her husband it immediately sync'd that he was her husband and she was his wife. this thought made her smile and choke up a little bit inside. She ran to Christian to give him a hug which he openly accepted. Christian knew that if anybody he knows were to see if him with his wife they would definitely laugh at him, but not for long. 

"Let's go home, we still have a lot of stuff to un-pack that should have arrived while you were shopping for the rings. I also got us pizza that should be arriving soon. I didn't know what flavor of pizza you liked so I got a few flavors I think you will like." Christian told Elizabeth as he helped her into the passenger side of his car. 

"I can't wait or thank you enough." Before Elizabeth could finish her sentence she was interrupted by Christian who told her she doesn't need to thank him for doing his husband duties.

The rest of the car ride home was peaceful, full of laughter and love. After only knowing each other for the last two days at least, they both go along really well. Christian was still holding her hand while driving back to their house.
