THE SHOT

What did I get myself into ?

How the hell am I suppose to stay with such a flirt till the contract is off??

One of the maid came to my rescue,collected my bags and walked me to where I presume will be mine till my stay is over in this hell whole.

 I laid on the king sized bed, scanning my new room wondering how life is gonna play out during my stay here. 

  “If only my family wasn’t so poor then I wouldn’t find myself in such a mess “

I sigh in total frustration “

How do I settle my issues with josh?

He didn’t even let me explain myself 

Isn’t he suppose to be a pillar I could lean on at this moment .

Of course he has every right to be upset but not casting me away like he did .

 The sound of the door cracking distracted my thought.the maid who helped me earlier walked into the room.

Ma’am your attention is needed downstairs, Sir Rico asked me to call you she said bowing her head 

Oh yeah “

The idiot is calling me “ I muttered 

Tell him I will be there in a bit, I replied her 

I walked out of the room standing right beside the door,confused on the exact direction to take. 

The house was a magnificent building and was impossible for anyone not familiar with it to find their way around. 

The maid came to my rescue and directed me to where Rico was.

I took a deep breath and walked over to where he was .The lady he was making out with had probably left.

  You sent for me “ I said lowly 

Of course I did call you he replied rudely 

Anyways there are dos and don’t guiding your stay here. You will have to abide by my rules during your stay here.

Whatever I say is final.

But for now go get dressed,we are going for photo-shot .

I ...I haven’t rested since I came here’ I am tired “ I stammered 

He looked at me with a daring eyes.

I sigh and walked back to the room to change to something casual.

I wonder why we have to take a pictures but it was actually stated in the contract.

I mean everyone will want to see wedding pictures to believe we are both married.

 The studio room looks very beautiful.i was marveled at how beautiful the place was. 

I have never been to a studio before, I only get to see them on television.

Two ladies walked up to me , a stylist and the other was in charge of my makeup.

They started doing their various duties and honestly I must admit that it feels good to me treated this way.. So this is how those rich ladies feel “I thought 

I might only get to experience such treatment once so I better enjoy it while it last.

You look stunning “one of the ladies told me 

Thank you “ I blushed 

They weren’t telling lies I really did look beautiful.

I looked at muse in the mirror and smiled,if only Josh could see how beautiful I looked right now.

The two ladies walked me back to where Rico was.He sat down waiting patiently for me.one would thinking he was a nice person. 

He walked closer to me gazing directly at me.i felt goosebumps all over me . Why the hell is he looking at me like that?

He took a step closer and whispered in my ears  “ Even with makeup you’re still ugly “. I gritted my teeth .

What the hell was I expecting him to say?

He moved closer to me the more and kissed my earlobe. I frozen for a moment and then lost balance.

He held me by my waist and pulled me closer to himself.

“Awww “

“Wow”

The ladies in the room blushed 

My heart was racing to the point where i felt it was going to fall of my chest.

I took a hold of Myself and pulled myself away from his grip. This was a show he was putting on.

The photographer came towards us and place Rico’s hands back on my waist. He told me to raise my head and look into Rico’s eyes.

 I raised my head to look into Rico’s eyes but couldn’t. I felt so uncomfortable 

Rico move his head closer to mine and kissed me and then I froze again . He deepened the kiss and mumbled on my lower lip.

I placed my left hand on his waist and the other hands to his hair. For a moment I forgot who I was kissing.

His lips felt so soft and tender that I couldn’t help it.

I was lost in my own world of fantasy and then I felt my buttocks on the floor.

It was then it dawn on me what just happened.

What the hell did you just do Ashley?

Our eyes locked , he smirked and I looked away in embarrassment . I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me.

Rico stretch forth is hand and raised me up pretending lol he did not push me away intentionally.

 “Crazy Animal “ I muttered under my breath 

.

.

.

.

.

 What the hell was that about? Rico yelled 

I told you not to come close to me and you had the guy to kiss me “

 I.. You... you kissed me first I replied lowly 

And I probably tried playing along,since you were faking it.” I replied feeling embarrassed.

Here have it “ he handed over a book to me.

These book contains list of dos and don’t during your stay here. If by any means you break any of these rules, be ready to face the consequences.

I raised my head to look at him’

Is this guy for real?

I knew he was crazy but damn!

A full book containing rules and regulations ??

I opened the first page to take glance and he read took his time to put these together .

• Do not come close to me except I ask you to 

•Do not touch anything that doesn’t belong to you in this house 

• Entering any room aside the one you were provided with is prohibited.

I glanced through the rules and sigh in annoyance.

I headed back to my room feeling completely tired and exhausted. I have done any hectic work but it feels like I just finish climbing a mountain.

A lot has happened recently that I am yet to digest.

This is the first time I have been far away from my mom this long, my head is yet to process everything that has occurred this past few days.

I picked up my phone contemplating on who to call between my mom,best friend or my boyfriend.

I decided to call my boyfriend Josh, So we could have a proper conversation.

The sound of my phone filled the room.

He eventually picked at the fourth ring.

Hey babe “ I called calmly 

Why the hell are you calling me “ he called out 

Aren’t you married yet?

Why then have you chosen to disturb my peace “ he asked 

Josh, I know you have every right to get mad at me, but come on ,can you at least give me a chance to explain myself “ 

 I don’t have a say in this decision, My mom owes De Grayson a huge amount of money, and I already explained it to you .

We can still see each other, it’s just a contract marriage .

I love you and also love me so let’s make this work please “ I replied in a shaky voice 

I cannot continue this relationship with you it’s impossible.he said and hang up the call 

Tears rolled down my eyes...

Why the hell did they choose me to sign the contract.

There are rich and classy girls everywhere why must it be me..

I HATE YOU RICO “ I yelled
