The Cheerleader And The Nerd

Chapter 4

On my own accord, I gasped as my hands flew to the white material clinging to me like a second skin. My eyes widened. Of course... it was a fucking wedding dress! Oh my freaking gosh, what had I done? Wait no, this isn't real, nope this cannot be happening!

“Riley… are you okay?” he asked me hesitantly. He had a nice voice…wait what was I thinking? See my stupid brains? In situations like this, it’s considering the voice of a complete stranger who is my supposed husband.

“Wow nice joke Jayden” I said tossing the paper back at him. He caught it with ease before a look of hesitation came on his face but then disappeared and appeared a look of determination, and with that he nodded to my left hand. Confused I looked at my hand, and there sitting on my ring finger, was a princess cut diamond ring, with a silver band. Good, I'd never really liked gold banded rings anyway... and this is completely off topic right now.

“It looks pretty real to me Riley” he muttered, checking my face for a reaction. Oh and he’ll get one.

“No way! There’s no way I’m married! And there’s no f*cking way I’m married to you, I mean all I know about you is that your name’s Jayden Dean Andrews” I said anger evident in my voice. “And put on a fucking shirt!” I snapped. What? His hard defined chest was distracting me. Sue me.

“Hey! I didn’t ask to get married to a bratty cheerleader like you either! You think I want this? Heck no!” he sneered back. Ouch… “For now let’s just focus on if this is even legit. If it is we’re gonna have to file for a annulment or something” he continued. Ok so at least I have a smart husband! It could be worse… yup could have been way worse. I sighed.

 ”Hey! Your dad’s a lawyer right?” he asked suddenly, breaking me out of my thoughts. I narrowed my eyes.

“And you know this how…?” I asked suspiciously. He rolled his eyes.

“Oh come on, who doesn’t know you?” he asked me instead. For a moment, I was confused, before I understood what he meant.

“You go to Rosemary High, don’t you?” It was a statement really. Nevertheless he nodded, before continuing with words that spelled my doom.

“So we could ask him for a way out of this” Wow, did he really want me dead so bad?

“Hey Jayden?” I asked him.

“Yeah?”

“Do you really want you wife dead? I mean come on I’m not that bad right? That you want me DEAD!” I said, yelling out the last word. And you know what he did? He blushed! He freaking blushed while I’m here freaking out! Ok a little dramatic I know but I really didn’t wanna tell my dad. To be honest, which girl does? Which girl wants to come home and say, ‘Oh dad, I was drunk and got married over the weekend after my birthday, and now I need your help to get out of it? Oh and meet my husband’

“Stop being so melodramatic, I’m pretty sure it’ll be fine” he said, still a pink tinge to his cheeks. He was probably the first guy I’ve seen whose blushed, and I have to say he looked kinda cute…

“Easy for you say” I retorted. And right that minute, the front door opens and walks in none other than Kat.

“Hey Riley, and hey mystery dude!” she said completely oblivious to the situation. I gave her 3 seconds before she hyperventilated. 1…2…3! Bingo!

“Holy shit!” she yelled. Then she turned to me.

“You didn’t…” she gasped. I knew what she was referring to. My virginity. Doesn't she see my slutty wedding dress?

“I didn’t…” I said and rolled my eyes.

“But he…and …you…wait why is he shirtless, and what is he doing here?” she exploded. Now I turned to Jayden.
