Funny how things turn out whenever Las Vegas is added in the lives of an individual because it has gotten many untold stories and risks borne from it.

Just like that, I had a story to tell as well but oh, boy! I first need to sober up.

I laid flat on my back, staring at the mahogany ceiling which was halfway distracting my thoughts but nevertheless, I replayed the encounter with Noah Hudson. The guy seemed like a gentleman and probably older than me.

Now, he got the good looks but I didn't have any fluttery feeling rising in the pits of my diaphragm. The feeling of flushed up by the butterflies.

Or it's more like getting murdered by the butterflies? 

I blinked, frowning, baffled by my strange weird yet creepy thoughts emerging especially after midnight. I couldn't quite sleep since my mind has been occupied over certain someone.

"Hailey? Hailey?" I called out to her in a soft whisper.

She hummed, shifting her slumpy body and drap

    Grumbling filled the atmosphere. That's basically what my friends do a lot. It's a routine of ours or the torture I bestowed upon my best mates."This is all your fault. I was having such a perfect wedding dream." Meredith sighed dreamily, looking out the window."Eyes on the road, girl." I reminded, rolling my eyes at their pricked moods.They haven't stopped complaining about how noisily I woke them up, must I say, that I didn't care about that."Alright, let's stop all being moody and grumpy old men." Hailey shivered at the thought, "So where to next?""You should know. I am blank." I replied, shrugging."Right," Hailey mumbled, scrolling over her phone to search for the places to have ultimate fun.The last resort better not be the casino.I twisted my neck back, trailing my sight over the car riding behind us."Do they really have to tag along?" I asked, unappreciative for them tagging along."Yes

    "Quit tryna make me feel bad." I sang loudly, snatching the mic from the reception. It was more of an announcement phone call I picked up from the Reception. My mind was fuzzy and buzzy but I didn't stop and climbed the reception table, dancing with the music playing in my head. As usual, I was minding my own business being completely crazy. For all I know, I had gone nuts because after that I was kicked out. "Welp... that didn't work out well." I pursed my lips, looking at Noah who was part of this plan. "We did break the rules so... how were you even able to take such a risk?" He asked in a disbelief tone. I guess I impressed him. "Been doing that since birth." I proudly stated. He noted with his silence responding in return, "Yeah, I'm gonna go." I grabbed his forearm, pulling him in swiftly. "Hey, hey! You can't just leave me here. I don't know about you but this is my first time here." He poked his inner cheek with his tongue as he distantly squinted his eyes, "And what

    My friends must be wondering, how I survived the drink of liquor. Well, I didn't. They ended up doing the majority of the work, cleaning up the mess that I momentarily laid out for them.Now, clearly what happened? Oh, I would've enlightened you all but I don't know. All I know, I woke up with a massive headache where my insides were ripping apart.Or maybe World War III was channeling inside me."Millie! Do you have any idea what have you done?" Hailey shouted, deafening my hearing for sure.I groaned, hissing at the poking of my headache that wasn't ready to stop any second."Shut up." It came out as a whisper because of my sore throat. "Hand me some water." I coughed out, pushing my curly hair.Whoever it was, they did a good deed offering a cup of cold water which is what I was in need of. Once it went through the dryness occupying like a Sahara desert, I finally looke

    For someone like me, what really mattered what was the most important thing after the disaster was to get back home.Not even last minute enjoyments, not the goodbye selfies.I had to get back home before the worse occurs than getting grounded. And speaking of my mother, she has her ways to make a living storm out of every situation. Not always, but still."What are you going to do about Noah?" Meredith asked who sounded genuinely worried.I shrugged, checking my bag for the umpteenth time as the fear of losing things back in the hotel that I'll never get again. For example."Found it!" I hugged my flip phone, taking a sigh of relief."Seriously??" Meredith scowled, getting back to her usual unbothered self.Hailey shook her head in disappointment, twisting her face towards me. "How can you worry about that than the mess you got yourself into?"I snarled, defensively protecting the phone that I treasure the most. "It's th

    I sat in the back, munching on desserts or anything that could just be identified as edible. Slouching on the seat, I blankly stared at the road ahead which was dark and only the headlights were lighting up the path to my prison.Yes, I called my home a prison because I'm still grounded.I honestly don't make it sound like I am while taking a trip to Las Vegas. It's a surprise I even survived back there. Almost, I forgot I am now a married woman.Why did I ever meet that guy? It would've been better if I never met him but then I could've gotten married to someone else.Hmm... why did I even think of marrying him in my drunk state? It's not like my mom was nagging me to find a boyfriend or for her a son-in-law."Millie, what are you going to do?" Meredith asked after the silent treatment I was giving them.My flip phone survived, thankfully but it shut off on me due to the low battery. I didn't bring a charger along with the phone and I had t

    No way. This isn't happening. My babysitter is none other than my husband, who I don't even clearly know well."What are you doing here?" I asked, unblinking at for the last minutes as mom went to grab some snacks."I should be the one asking that." He scoffed, flashing a smile to my mother across the room.Ugh! That billionaire smile that I have a crush on. Just on that! There's nothing more. I just got a thing for a dimpled smile."This can't be just a pure coincidence, could it be?" I asked, muttering to myself.He heard it well, frowning. "It could be. But I don't believe in fates and all."I gasped when he mentioned such a universal thingy. "How can you not believe in fates!? Wait, what about soulmates? Do you believe in them?"He shook his head, "That's all nonsense.""That's why you're single." I scoffed but did I forget such a detailed mess I had brought into my life?He laughed, "You're forgett

    If it was someone else in my place or in my shoes or even in my hoodie, they would grab the chance to spend even the seconds with none other than Noah Hudson who turns out to be more than I thought.Keeping in mind our newest born relationship of marriage, he is my babysitter along with it. So, is this still a coincidence?I don't believe in love and cherry on the top romance because that's all in the books but why is my mind barking the word 'fate' in my head on repetition?I won't accept it's the cause of some lovesick fate, it surely can't be. Maybe... I... someone... nevermind.I sighed, racking my brain for the possibilities of such occurrences since the trip to Las Vegas and watching them mingle around friendly like the perfect society quality mother and son.I scoffed, laying my head on the dining table. They were all giggly and smiley, provoking me to gag over the presentation of such a lovely atmosphere surrounding them."I thought

    I don't know what kind of situation this should be called that I was stuck in, unwillingly. The fact that my mother was just wandering around my surprisingly handsome husband and catching up with their old times, I boringly watched them while drinking plain transparent water.They were too immersed in their talk that for a second, I doubted that maybe Noah is old but he is a wizard and he's hiding his real age appearance.Nope, only I can think of such an absurd thing.My eyes were stilled on them, putting the glass on the tray while not watching my moves of what it was about to invite me into the next disaster. As predictable, I dropped the glass on the hard floor and the shattering of the glass echoed around the room, sound waves hitting against the walls and reaching to my mother's ear who was possibly going to get me punished."Crap," I muttered, staring at the glass shards that scattered remotely beyond. "My hand slipped." That's the best excus

    What day is today? I can't stop thinking about what Noah said earlier. It's been on my mind all day, and now I'm alone with all these strange assumptions swirling around in my head. Noah had some work to attend to, and I didn't wanna go to my Uni, so here I am. I'm trying to bake a cake. I decided not to overthink... for now, at least. Also, my apology needs a supporter, though he already has forgiven me. But to lighten up things and to get my mind over the word 'Wife', that's been ringing up in my head, I am attempting a world-class murder- I mean, making a decent edible cake. Did I ever mention that I can't cook? Or was it that I suck at cooking? "Snap out of it! Alright, Millie. Now is your time to shine... with sparkle, not smoke." I muttered the latter in hopes of succeeding. "First step. Preheat the oven..." I turned behind as I fearfully stared at my oven. It's the first step to disaster for me. That oven has been through a lot, always surviving from my at

    The next morning wasn't delightful. I expected this. More or less. I was here sitting in my room, shedding Niagara falls from my eyes after a weird sensation hit me. I call it 'The guilt of disappointing my husband'. Which is weird. Why? Even I don't know. After going through all that conversation that happened between us, I realized I was wrong. That's good, but what more did I feel? The pain of making Noah upset. I don't know why I've been feeling this for the past few hours. I didn't get a wink of sleep... actually, I did sleep, but as soon as I woke up, the train of last night's thoughts hit me again. It is weird because I don't have any sort of attachment with Noah. He's a stranger to me, and we got married too recently. I couldn't have feelings built up for him, right? With a heavy heart, I opened the door to my room and found the hallway quiet. It's not a good thing... but then chaos or loud noise is also not a good thing 'cause that signals towards my clumsiness.

    Where were we? In the middle of negotiation. Well, it was most likely from my side than theirs. All they wanted was to get as much money they could grab on."I don't have any money. You think, I can afford even this frozen yoghurt?... Yes, I can but I'm grounded. Why? Because I broke my mother's toaster. Do you even understand how that relatively is senseless?"Silence fell in and responses dried up from my random ranting. Plus, this ain't really the right time and right place to rant out about my personal life problems."That is senseless! My mom smacked my phone because I didn't call her back. Like how am I supposed to call you back now? And it wasn't even recharged and she even knew about this." One of the two joined in my rant out session.I gasped. "That's- What is even that??""I know right-" The other guy smacked his head, whispering him."Are you crazy? We're here to rob not fill in our painful tragedies." He sneered at his mate and got back to us, aiming the gun at Noah inste

    "Millie, who in their right mind would go frozen yoghurt shopping?" Noah asked as he wore his coat.I pointed at myself innocently. My stomach wouldn't let me sleep peacefully and the next morning would be the face of a witch with hair all dishevelled that even the crows would run away from me.That probably didn't make any sense, did it?He sighed, patting my head before leaving the house.I grinned, "So do you know where they sell Frozen Yoghurt at this time?" He asked, turning to me.I smirked, nodding proudly. "Yes, because the only way to shut my stomach from almost transforming into a lion, I used to sneak out and visit this shop.""... I'm surprised you didn't get kidnapped." He plastered the same old unimpressed bored expression."Because I'm strong as well as heavy. They scurried away just from the sight of me.""No, they just found you useless. Nobody wants a disaster." He climbed into his car after that comment.I gasped lightly, glaring at him before rounding up the car an

    After throwing the ripped dress in the garbage, I retreated back to my room. Noah seemed to have enough fun and teasings for the day and was the first to fall asleep.I laid on my bed, exhausted and switched on my flip phone. Yes, I still have this phone."Would it be alright to call Hailey right now?" It was unnecessary to concern myself with this question when my fingers were over the dialer buttons.The phone rang as I waited for her reply. I looked around to see if I have any snack to eat but my room was a mess with the clothes that Oliver and Lucas expedited with."Hello?" Her groggy voice sounded through the liner."Oh hey! Did I wake you up?" I asked."Yes."I waited for her to continue but realized it just a word reply."Oh... right. Anyways stay awake and suffer while listening to my story because this is truly shocking." I tried to wake her up with my choice of words."Can it not wait till tomorrow?" She sounded desperate for sleep but this has to happen today, right now."

    Silence has been absorbed in the walls of Noah's rooms and heat desipated from the uprising tension from the atmosphere that I doubted for a second, am I in the sauna?"Oliver, why are you dressed like my mother?" I asked. "Or Lucas, but then my mom is short.""And I'll have you know that you, my daughter, is shorter than me." I zipped my mouth tight shut and bent down on my knees before the magical words sprouted out of my mouth. "I BEG FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, MOTHER. OH MOTHER WHO IS TOLERATING SUCH AN INSOLENT DAUGHTER."She scorned at me, "Before that, explain me what's going on in here."Oh right... I forgot I'm in Noah's temporary room and also he's looking prett- I mean he's in woman clothings which I would say are not fit for him. I should try my other outfit on h-"Millie was... bullying me." Noah butted, acting timid.Wow... that whole demeanor shifted from a wild beast who ripped my dress to I'm just a rabbit who's being hunted.Anyways, as if my mom would believe him. Look

    "HOW DARE YOU SLAP MY YOGHURT AWAY-" I punched the man, going full thrust in one heart beat. His face was pretty rough and I knew my hand would bare the consequences of breaking someone's face by first breaking my knuckles but-We're talking about my Precious Yoghurt here!"Millie, oh shit-" Noah gasped while he was busy hitting the other guy and left me to take care of this one.Well you're probably confused what had happened. ........3 hours ago:I was looking around for Noah, since he hadn't come down at all. I was getting worried. The next moment I opened the door to my room after searching for him in his room, he was right there.In front of me.In my clothes.How did he even fit in them- wait that's not important to know."What the heck!? And here I thought you fainted or something. Were you going on an adventure to get the first-aid box??" I scolded him, immersed in giving him a good beating."Boo!" I screamed in surprise, falling on my butt as I noticed two figures emergin

    It was certainly a surprise for me when I realized the guy I had almost killed with my super-duper strong healthy elbow- mind the exaggeration- turned out to be none other than the son of Mrs. Burro.Why do I keep meeting people who are closely related? Don't tell me that next time it would be that Mrs. Burro is a close mate of my mother.... Wait, I certainly don't want that disaster to occur.The storm has to lay low or else I'll be swept away with it if mother ever finds out about our marriage. And where the heck is Noah? Did he go on a scavenger hunt for the first-aid box?? I believe he's hiding instead because honestly, I didn't wanna face Mrs. Burro either. She asks too many questions."Jacob, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the school?"Jacob scoffed, showing attitude to his mother. "oh! congratulations on realizing that.""Hey... that's rude to speak like that to your mother." I frowned, disciplining him.Jacob looked in my direction, eyes connected to e

    Millie Quinn, cause of her imprisonment, killed a man just by her elbow. Was it the merciless blow or- "Millie, don't just stand there!" I heed Noah's scolding and helped the man up. Gladly I haven't knocked him out as he stood comfortably on his feet though there were signs of nauseous stumbling while I tried to balance him. "Are you alright? I'm sorry for what my wife had done." I added, "Accidentally. It wasn't intended." I glared at Noah who emulated my expressions. If it weren't for the injured man, our glaring contest wouldn't have ended on short notice. He spoke, "Oh, it's alright." I gasped, staring wide-eyed at him. Not gonna lie, he's cute and handsome. Noah nudged my side, signaling me to do something. The reason for us staring wide-eyed at him. Oh! He wasn't any celebrity or anything it's just... I think I broke his nose. "Um... are you sure you're alright?" I asked, stepping an inch closer with a heavy unsettling feeling. The guilt of knocking a charming face's
