I wiggled my butt staring at the TV as Javier played on.
** If our love was a story book, we would meet on the very first page.
**The last chapter would be about how... I'm thankful for the life we made.
**And if we had babies they would have your eyes, I would fall deeper watching you give you life.
** You don't even know how very special you are......
**You leave me breathless..... you're everything good in my life
**You leave me breathless.... I still can't believe that you're mine.....
I sang at the top of my voice. The song wasn't his but his remix was so much better. I shook my butt wishing and praying that one day he would sing this very song to me.
Okay, a little introduction. I'm Leah Thompson, a graduate from one of the not so prestigious universities of California. I work as a waitress at a restaurant and I live with my roommate so the rent can be split in half. My parents died when I was little, I wasn't so lucky to get adopted at the orphanage so I left when I was 18.
Luckily, I was able to go to college so now I'm 22, one of the working class ladies. Speaking of my roommate....
"Kyla...." I yell at the top of my voice.
"Are you done idolising your idol, your voice sounds like a broken record." She spat out playfully. I chuckle in response before giving her the finger.
"Am already late for work. I'll see you later."
I grab my bag before leaving the house inhaling the fresh scent of a new day.
"I have a good feeling about today. It's going to be wonderful."
**Javier's Pov**
"I asked for a medium sized soda, not a big sized. What if I'm too bloated to sing huh! Get lost, you're fired!"
I yell at his face, I drop the soda on the floor and turn away angrily.
"Incompetent fools" I hissed a little too loudly and my manager walked in.
"Javier, that has to be the second one you've lost this week. You need to be patient."
"I hate clumsy people, it's not my fault they are all incompetent."
I focused on what I was doing and he shook his head.
"Alright, have you thought about what I proposed?"
"Tom, you gave me a choice between my music and my single life. Besides, marriage doesn't mean I can't screw whomever I want so what did you think I'd pick."
I say sarcastically.
"Well, that's amazing then. Who do you want, super model, Actress. Name it."
"Definately not, I want someone who's plain. A girl who isn't pretty, someone who wouldn't get too attached also, has good manners and all. Someone I can tolerate, who's definately not a theif because Once the deal's over,I'm dumping her." I said with no remorse.
"Alright, I'll work on finding someone."
"Today,I want to get this done as soon as possible."
"Alright,I'll get right on it."
"Who ever that girl is, she's going to have the worse year of her life, I'll make sure I transfer the agression I have in me for doing this to her." I said mentally making a promise to myself.
**Leah's Pov**
"Thank you, come again."
I says as sweetly as possible getting ready for the next customer.
"Good morning, I would like a big belly burger."
He requests. From his dressing, I can tell he's very rich and important. I shrugged it off and focus on taking his order.
Afterward, I hand it over to him waiting for the payment.
"Keep the change." He says making me gasp. He turns around and walks away but suddenly his wallet drops.
"Umm Sir...."
I call out but he was already moving. I rush and pick it up dashing outside. He was getting into his car about to leave.
"Sir!" I yell at the top of my voice raising it high. His eyes twinkle in recognition and he walks up to me.
"Thank you for this, I had an important card in it. I don't know what I would've done without it."
"He doesn't even care about the money in it?" I wondered.
"Umm here's some..." I place my hands in front of him cutting him short.
"I don't need your money sir. Consider it my good deed for the day." He chuckles lightly staring at me.
"And you are?"
"Leah Anderson." I respond with a grin.
"Leah Anderson, I have a proposal for you. Might sound strange but how would you like to get married."
My eyes pop out and I almost laugh at his words. His next sentence sends all my laughter back down.
"To Javier Thompson." He adds as my mouth literally falls open.......
**TO BE CONTINUED**
**Leah's Pov**
I start choking immediately probably on the breakfast I had earlier. The strange man rushes towards me trying to help.
I end up pushing him away gaining my composure and glaring at him.
"If you think I'd fall for some sick joke, you're very mistaken."
"I'm just happy I got your wallet for you, u have to go back to work now." My voice cones out firm and strong just like I intended.
"You're seriously passing up on an opportunity to get married to the "Javier Thompson" "
"There's no way you know him besides if Javier was looking for a bride, I'd know I'm his biggest fan."
"Oh really now..." He says getting amused.
" I am. Ask me anything, I dare you." I hated someone questioning my love for him.
"What's his favourite food."
"Rice cakes."
"Favourite snack."
"Pizza."
"Favourite song of all time."
"You and I."
"Favourite hobby."
"Listening to music."
"Wow,I'm impressed." He commends giving me a little applause.
"Thank you, I'll be on my way inside now."
"His biggest fan deserves to hear his voice on the phone right." He takes his phone out and dials a number. For a second I debate walking in from what would seem to be a crazy man but a part of me stays and sees what happens next.
"Javier, yes. I found someone."
He says and puts it on speaker.
"Very good, like I said the earlier the better."
He responds and my legs gets wobbly from hearing his voice.
"Oh my fucking...." I curse and the man chuckles.
"Believe me now?" He asks hanging up.
"Not really, I'd admit he sounds just like Javier. I would know, I have watched all his press conference but still, it can be edited." I retort folding my arms.
"Well then, you know what they say. Never meet your idols." He says and switches to video call in my presence.
"What is it Tom?"
Javier groans shirtless and I swear I got hot.
"Holy fuck!"
I scream and he hangs up immediately.
"Believe me now..." He trailed off chuckling.
"Yes! I believe you."
"So, back to my proposal. How would you like to get married to him?" He asks again, I didn't think twice before....
"Hell yes!" I scream and he opens the door to his car.
"But I still have my shift. I haven't informed anyone."
"We'll handle that later, are you in or out?"
He asks, I look back at the restaurant before getting in.
"I'm going to fucking get married to Javier freaking Thompson." I fight the urge to scream it to the world. He drives to a boutique making me look down at my outfit. I look so plain, boring.
"You're meeting Javier, I want a good first impression." He says and we walk in.
"While the clothes are getting set, I need to clarify the deal." He says and I nod my head.
"You're going to get married to him for just a year." He begins with and I take a deep breath, a year with Javier. Yipee.
"During that year, you'll perform all the duties as a wife. All of them." He adds and I take a deep breath.
"You can't tell anyone its a sham. No one at all..." He adds and my mind drifts off to Kyla.
"If you need money or anything,come to me and I'll attend to you. Other than that there's nothing else. Are you okay with the terms?" He asks, I think about all of them before slowly nodding my head.
"Good, the clothes are ready. Get changed into one of them and we can leave." I nod my head and grab the bag before going into a stall.
I pick the longest one which reached my knee. It was a little skin tight but it's not like I had much curves to show off. I leave my clothes in the stall as he ordered and walk out.
"Good." He commends and we leave the place.
"I can't believe I'm going to meet him!"
I nearly squeel unable to contain my excitement.
****
An hour, we're in front of a gigantic building. The one I've always wished to enter.
I take a deep breath to calm myself. Mr Tom opens the gate by pressing a button. I checked his wallet for his name before.
He drives in and I almost faint. Javier is standing at the doorstep.
"I asked for an ugly girl." I heard him mouth, he indirectly called me pretty. I blush at that compliment before stepping out.
"Hi, my name is..."
"I don't care." He snaps rolling his eyes making me jump a little.
"Did you tell her everything she needs to know?" He asks.
"This isn't the Javier I know?" I thought walking up close.
"Good job Tom. I'll make the announcement Tomorrow." Javier says with a plain look and he still looks hot. I ogle at him unable to take my eyes off.
"Welcome to hell." He suddenly says draining all the smile from my face.
**TO BE CONTINUED**
**Leah's Pov**
I stood at the door too scared to go in. I'm Javier Thompson's biggest fan. I know him down to his favourite colour of underwear.
I know him better than the back of my hand. He always talks about how much he loves his fans on TV. Gives to the needy, he's kind and sweet.
The man that stood in front of my minutes ago was a shell of my idol. He's obviously not the man I love. That isn't him.
"Aren't you going in."
"Umm Mr Tom..."
"Call me Tom instead." He corrects with a light chuckle.
"Okay umm Tom, is Javier always like that or is he just having a bad day or something?"
"Darling, don't believe every and any thing you see. It's just an act, you're going to be living with him. You'll get to see the real him, I just hope you still love him afterwards."
I'm convinced that I won't be able to go instead after hearing this.
"Come on dear, let's go in. We need to get you ready for the announcement and wedding." He says and I gulp before nodding my head.
"Alright." I respond raising my chin up.
"He's probably just in a mood or something. It'll go away and he will be back to the man I love."
I reassure myself before walking in. I'm in awe of his huge the house actually is. It's fucking beautiful.
"After the ceremony and all, I'll introduce you to some of the maids. They're at you Beck and call. If you need them don't hesitate to holla" He says and I'm a little shy.
I'm used to doing everything myself so I doubt I'd be calling anyone soon.
"The make up artist would be here soon and so will the designers. Get ready, you're about to become Mrs Leah Thompson." He says and I nearly squeel.
****
At least three hours later, they're done making me look like Barbie doll. The moment I face the mirror, I can't recognize myself. I look like a cartoon due to the amount of make up on me.
"Great, you're done." Tom says and takes my hand.
"Don't look nervous. Javier would do most of the talking and all. Just stand there and look confident, everything will be alright." He assures me and I nod.
Javier walks downstairs and his eyes are on his phone. He looks casual but still really hot. Apparently I'm going to be wearing a gown which is already in the car. The announcement would be made and we would get married in a court later on but Javier tells everyone we already had a secret wedding so people don't follow.
He takes one look at me before huffing lightly and going back to his phone.
"Manageable. Let's go."
He commands and Yanks me towards him holding my arm. I could melt at his touch right now and that cologne.
"Control yourself!" I caution as we move towards the car.
The press conference would be held at his studio.
The moment we arrive, cameras go flashing trying to take pictures and it gets even worse when he steps down holding my arm.
Everyone starts whispering and reports begin to ask questions.
"Javier! Who is she! Is there something we need to know?" They bombard him with questions. He ignores all of them and moves towards the stand.
"Okay Everyone!" He says smiling sweetly.
"I love everyone for coming out here for me. It means a lot." He blows a kiss to the crowd making me smile. There's the Javier I know.
"I know everyone must be curious as to who this beautiful woman is..." I blush at his words before he continues.
"Well, much to the disappointment of everyone, she's my wife." He pauses for them to take it all in. Surprise is the only thing visible on their faces.
"I know it's coming as a shock to most people that I'm married but I didn't want to make such a special ceremony an open event for all to see."
"Awwn..." The crowd coos.
"Well, we'll realise another statement soon but for now, I have a wedding night to enjoy." He says and throws a wink.
"Aww...." The crowd erupts again.
"Kiss her Javier!" Someone yells and he looks surprised but clearly doesn't show it.
"Yeah come on, kiss her..." Another yells and he turns to face me fully.
"Well then..." He trails off, cups my cheeks and presses his lips onto mine fussing them together.
"I can't believe it! I'm kissing Javier freaking Thompson..." Once again, I'm almost fainting. My legs are shaking, he notices as he wraps his hands around my waist still kissing me....
