Nick was right. After our kiss, the rest of guests joined us, dancing. I and Nick continued with our dance but I couldn’t bring my eyes to look at him. I buried my face in his shoulders. Good thing Nick didn’t tease me about the kiss.

Someone tap on Nick shoulder making we both looked at him, “May I cut in?” asked daddy. Nick nodded and smiled. I saw him went over to mum and dance with her.

“Are you happy?” daddy asked making me bring my attention to him.

I smiled and nodded, “Yes I am daddy.”

“I’m glad,” he smiled back at me, “I know Nick going to make you happy and I’m really am happy for both of you. You have made a right choice into marrying him. I don’t think I would ever trust anyone to take a good care of my youngest daughter but him alone.”

I don’t know why I blushed at his statement. He then continued, “The first time I saw you with Nick I knew that you both are prefect for each other. I could see that he loves you will all his heart and I could see that you are feeling the same too.” I looked at daddy in shocked. What is he saying? Nick loves me? And I love Nick too? He must be mistaken or maybe we both are so good in our pretence that everyone believe that we really do?

“You don’t have to hide what you feel, Ashley,” daddy continued, “Love shouldn’t be keep a secret but make known especially to the one that you love. What more now you both are husband and wife? You should tell him you love him everyday, just like me and your mum. Never let love die or gone from your heart,” he advised.

I just smiled, while he kept on continue, “But even though you have become someone wife, don’t forget that you are still my daughter. Never hesitate to come to me for help or advice. I will be there with you forever,” he said in teary eyes.

I could feel tears in my eyes too. I hugged him, “Thanks daddy. I love you and always will. I might be someone’s wife, but I will always be your daughter.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t stop her from being you daughter either,” Nick interrupted us, “Sorry, Edward, I need to steal my wife away from you for a while. I want to introduce her to some of my friends and colleague,” he explained.

Daddy smiled, “She’s yours,” he said and kissed me on the cheek before going back to mum and dance with her.

Nick introduced me to each and every one of his friends from college, from his office and some of his father’s business partners. All the people that I’ve been introduced kept teasing Nick that he finally could sleep well now the girl of his dream is finally his. I wondered why they said that to him. Has he been pretending in front of them too or are they actually mistaken me for Nick’s real girlfriend? I’m sure he has one even though he told me he have none. I wonder if she came tonight. Most probably she didn’t and most probably Nick didn’t invite her. It would make him felt awkward if he has his girlfriend and wife in the room.

Wife? I’m merely a wife to him. I’m just a temporary wife for two months. After that we’ll be solo again and maybe back to our normal self again. Even though just a temporary wife, I could see the other side of him; the charming Nick instead of the jerk Nick that I used to know and see. Maybe he really wasn’t a jerk at all. Maybe I’m the one who’s been a jerk to him. Come to thinking about it, I’m the one who always find fault with him.

“Hey you look so happy tonight,” said Amy who finally came to sit with me when she saw me sitting alone at our table.

“Yeah, I can’t believe I’ll say this, but I’m really enjoyed myself tonight,” I told her smiling and pushed the strand of hair that’s covers my face with my hand.

“Oh. My. God,” she gasped and pulled my hand towards her, “When did you get this?” she asked touching my wedding ring.

I blushed, “Just now before we come down here, Nick gives it to me,” I told her.

“Wow, is that mean you both will remained married for real?” she asked.

“No,” I shook my head and rolled my eyes, “We have to replaced yours before everyone starts asking where my wedding ring.”

Amy pouted her lips as if frustrated with my reply, “I thought you have changed your mind about my brother and willing to give him a trial.”

I chuckled, “Well, if he behave, who know I might gives him a chance,” I joking told her.

“Really?” she squeaked happily.

“No, stupid,” I hit her head, “You should know Amy, I’m not your brother’s type or taste neither he is to me. I don’t know why everyone keeps thinking that we both are prefect for each other, when both Nick and I think otherwise.”

“Are sure he’s not your taste and you not his?” she asked with a twinkle and mischief eyes, “The way I saw both of you look at each other just now in the room and even right now said otherwise. You both look like you want to eat each other up,” she giggled.

I poked my tongue at her avoiding myself from giggling like a stupid fool with her, but I couldn’t help wonder whether Nick really look at me that way. Well I know that after the kiss I really look at Nick differently. I want to taste his lips again.

“You really want to eat him don’t you,” giggled Amy again waking me up from my thought. I blushed.

“You’re blushing,” she pointed out, “Gosh, just admit Ash, you want my brother,” she continued to giggled. Still blushing I poked my tongue at her again.

The DJ sudden announcement had brought all our attention to the stage, “Ladies and Gentlemen. We have a request from the floor, requesting our Groom to sing us a song.”

Everyone was cheering upon hearing the announcement. I looked at Nick who was still with his friends blushing away while some of them were pushing him forward towards the stage.

“Come on Nick,” said the DJ, “Your bride wants to hear some song from you even though you could later sing privately to her in your room,” he teased making everyone laughed. I blushed while Amy softly nudged me with her shoulder continued to tease me. Again I poked my tongue at her.

After much persistence from the crowd, Nick walked up the stage, discussing with the Band on song choice before he took the microphone, “I dedicate this song to my beautiful wife, Ashley,” he said looking directly at me making me blushed again, “I hope you like this baby,” and he called me baby in front of everyone.

He grinned at me before giving the cue, “Hit it,” and the music was on and there he goes singing, “Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars my favorite singer.

His voice is beautiful and I grinned stupidly when he walked over towards me, pulling me up from my seat and walked around me while singing the song; touching my hair, my lips, my eyes, my face and the one that gives me butterflies in my stomach and shivers was when he slowly runs his fingers up and down my hand. I could feel myself blushing by the way he looked at me when sings, as if telling me what he really felt.

He took my hand and put it on his shoulders while I help myself with the other hand, wrapping my hands around his neck. I heard whistles from the crowd but I felt as if I was alone with him and he was pouring his feelings towards me. Right after he finished the songs, I crushed my lips on his kissing him fully and he returned the same. Again we pulled apart blushing away when the crowds clapping, cheering and whistling.

The guests slowly excused themselves at midnight and by 2.00 am almost everyone has gone home except some of Nick’s closes friends.

“I think you and Nick might as well spend the night here,” said his mom, “It’s already late for you both to go home and Nick still with his friends drinking. He might not fit to drive.

“I don’t have anything to wear for tonight,” I tried for find excuse.

“You still have some of your clothes with me,” injected Amy. Gosh I totally have forgotten about that. I did leave some of my clothes in her room whenever stays over at her house, “I’ll take them to your room later. It looks like Marc too needs to spend the night here, mom.”

“Yeah, I agreed,” nodded his mom, “I’m going up now with your dad. Goodnight,” and kissed both Amy’s and my cheek before heading towards the house.

I pouted my lips at Amy, “Why do you always rescue me unnecessarily?”

“What you mean unnecessarily?” she asked.

“Yeah, like now. You know that if I spend a night here, I will have to sleep in Nick’s room,” I scolded her.

“Ah,” she grinned, “I totaling forgotten about that but I thought that after I saw the way you kissed him tonight, you wouldn’t mind sleeping with him,” she giggled.

I could feel myself flushed with her statement, “Why you naughty girl,” I pinched her and she yelped but continued to giggle.

Still giggling she puts her hands around me, “Don’t worry Ash. Nick doesn’t snore.” I glared at her.

We finally called off the night when all the guys were drunk, including Nick. Both Amy and I dragged Nick and Marc into the house.

Nick has his arm around my shoulder while my hand around his waist supporting him. He leaned his head on mine, “You smell nice,” he said in his drunken state.

“And you stink,” I told him bluntly but he chuckled instead.

When we reached our room, Amy looked at me smiling and teased, “Goodnight. Sweet dream dear friend.” I poked my tongue at her and dragged Nick towards his room.

“I’m sleeping with you tonight?” he asked still in his drunken stated. “Yay.”

“You sleeping on the floor,” I said to him sternly when I opened the door.

He wobbly walked in front of me and when he reached the bed, he immediately dropped his body on it.

“Oh no you don’t,” I said and immediately rushed towards him but I already heard him snored.

“Damn,” I cursed, “Amy said you don’t snore,” I scolded him even though I know he probably didn’t hear me.

I’ve never been to his room before even though I have been to his house numerous times. I normally spend a night at Amy’s room. Even though his room is big but there’s no sofa but just a king size bed, a reading table and a built-in closet.

I looked around his room looking for a place for me to sleep. Should I sleep on the floor? I heard a soft tap on the door and went to open it.

“Here are your clothes,” said Amy at the door with my bag in her hand.

“Thanks,” I said to her taking the bag from her.

“He’s already conquered the bed huh?” she asked chuckling when she saw her brother’s body sprawled across the bed.

“Yep,” I nodded, “I think I’ll sleep on the floor,” I told her.

“What? No,” Amy protested, “You should sleep on the bed. Don’t worry, my brother normally blank out when he’s drunk. He won’t remember a thing in the morning. You’re look tired and you should have a good rest. Don’t worry. Trust me,” she said and walked toward her brother, “Come let me help you to move him to the other side of the bed,” she offered without giving me a chance to argue.

“See, I’ve told you he blank out when he’s drunk,” she said when we both managed to move Nick to the other side of the bed and Nick still in a deep sleep.

“Alright,” I sighed, “Thanks again Amy.”

“You welcome. Goodnight,” she said and walked out of the room.

I cleaned myself and changed into my pajama which is a Tank Top and sweat pants. I decide to wear a bra tonight, just in case Nick got naughty during his sleep. I looked at Nick in his sleeping form with his tuxedo and shoes on. Should I just let him sleep like that? No, I decided. After taking off his shoes and sock, I went over to remove his bow and tuxedo.

I pulled him up and he opened his eyes slightly, “Ashley?” he called.

“Yep, me,” I nodded, “I just want to remove your jacket. Come on help me,” I told him while stripping off the jacket from his shoulders while he still wobbled unable to sit still with his drunken state.

He put his head on my shoulder and I could feel him smiling near my neck, “You smell so nice, wifey,” he said kissing softly on my neck and it tickles. I pushed him softly controlling myself. I took the cuff ling off from his sleeves.

Still smiling on my neck he continued, “Don’t you want to strip me naked?” and then giggled and hiccup.

“Nope,” I shook my head, “Be a good boy and just go back to sleep.”

“Are you sleeping with me?” he asked looking at me happily.

“I’m sleeping on the same bed with you, that all,” I told him sternly, “And you better behave or I’m going to push you off the bed and you’ll be sleeping on the floor.”

I heard him chuckled when I turn off the lights and went to sleep at the other side of the bed. All of the sudden I felt his hands and legs around me trapping me underneath him. His head was on my shoulders. I tried to push him away but he didn’t budged.

“Nick! Urgh!!” I called him while still trying to push him but I heard him snored on my ears instead.

I sighed. He has dose off again and I didn’t have the strength to push. I might as well just leave it for tonight. Besides, he doesn’t snore as loud as his sister and it does feel warm and comfortable being in his arms at this moment. Maybe sleeping with him in this position isn’t bad at all.
